In-reply-to » @GabesArcade The no-JS part is one thing, but you also have to disable the (nowadays common) forced-HTTP-to-HTTPS-redirect, because those old browsers can’t do modern crypto. And make sure that your webserver serves the correct page even if no Host header is sent by the client. And don’t even think about serving UTF-8 or even just putting utf-8 in the content type. 😅 And for the JPEG thumbnails I pass a special flag to ImageMagick so that IBM Web Explorer from OS/2 won’t trip. 🤣 And always use link rel="stylesheet" for CSS, because some browsers render inlined CSS as literal text. And … probably more that I forgot by now. 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de see anything you like here? 🤭

Pain has been a thing forever, sadly. Though today matters, I don’t want to ignore the pain of the past. 😞

In-reply-to » Anyone using XMPP? I've been hearing a lot about how it is the OG messaging protocol. That G00gle Talk used to use it as a back-end, that FB messanger and w_hatsapp use some modified version of it or something; And that setting up a server (or even using a public one) would be a better alternative to the aforementioned apps, so I did. Now the question is: "Where the Fu__ are my video calls at!!? 🤣" ... The protocol supports videoconferencing and I'm yet to find a decent Desktop/Mobile client that implements it. I wish I knew enough Code-Fu to contribute/help implement some, somewhere.

Wow! @arne@uplegger.eu isn’t kidding! See: https://rz.uni-greifswald.de/dienste/allgemein/instant-messaging-chat/

XMPP greatest peak was when Google Talk was around. Being able to chat with thousands, if not millions, of Google users at that time, using your own domain, and your own XMPP server was amazing. Then Google, in all its wisdom, and as it does very often, decided to kill it.

I might be on the minority, but can care less about video calls. Heck, even calls! Text is King. 🤪

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org simplified it a little bit. Using only *bot* will bring collateral damage I want to avoid (there are, still some “good” bots):

Also, if bots/spsiders hit your feed, they are showing as followers. Certainly not true. Right now I am blocking all bots, but that’s not the proper approach, I think.

@prologic@twtxt.net I linked you some of my findings on the twtxt.app on IRC. The main problem is the hashing. Totally broken. But you have got to give it some thought, because GitHub hosting of the feed is tricky (even more so if they are CNAMEing their domain to it). It is also finicky because Pages is auto-enabled on username.github.io, so actions must run each time you twt.

In-reply-to » Very hot above 30°C, but luckily also incredibly cloudy and a lot of wind. That's what we got today. My mate and I went on a quick stroll this evening and got a surprise killer sunset: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-07-07/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 07, right there, is my favourite. That’s not to say I don’t like the rest. I love them all! I don’t think I would ever get tired of enjoying that view, each and every day. 😍

In-reply-to » FYi 👋 I'm aware of an optimist precomputed hashing bug on the new twtxt.app 🤯 Trying to work with @bender remotely on my vacation yo fix it 🤣

I am afraid it will have to wait until your return! There are some decisions to be made, I think. Way out of my league! LOL.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com wow, look who the cat dragged in! 😂 I was thinking about you just yesterday, when testing the twtxt.app, and seeing your avatar photo broken. And today, here you are! Nice to “see” you mate!

In-reply-to » Okay, wow. Windows NT 4 wasn’t part of my timeline back then, so this is the first time I’m seeing it in action. And this thing came with IE 2, which I’ve also never seen before. (That’s interesting, because I remember using IE even on Win 3.x, but apparently that was already IE 3?)

As an example, this is a thread @GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com’s Arcade@gabesarcade.com and @david@daiwei.me carried all on twtxt.app, no issues: https://twtxt.net/conv/r4uf52ggwseh

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I figure there is a bug somewhere, but where?

@david@daiwei.me as you alter ego, I seriously recommend you stop creating feeds left and right. But whom am I kidding, right?! 😅

I wonder how long will it take to show a follower on twtd. It only shows the feed’s owner, so far.

In-reply-to » The mentioned go.{mod,sum} change is already part of tview 0.42.0. After implementing Set/GetDisabled(…) and PasteHandler(), tt starts up fine and seems to work without issues.

That’s pretty neat, wish more would adopt that approach, because more often than not one is left stumped on which one is the selected one. As @movq@www.uninformativ.de wrote, those brackets are a lifesaver.
