In-reply-to » Oh man, if the EU actually rolled out this horribd idea called ChatControl that actually threatens the security and privacy of secure e2e encrypted messaging like Signal™, fuck me, I'm out 🤦‍♂️ I'll just rage quit the IT industry and become a luddite. I'm out.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL. I wish and hope they keep proposing it until the proposers die of natural causes, and then it vanishes. Hopeful thinking, I know…

In-reply-to » https://zsblog.mills.io/ for anyone interested. I think I still have some small tweaking to do befor eI use this for realz.

@prologic@twtxt.net need to work on the CSS. For example, the tags are too big, the code blocks (and the inline ones) are too small, the single posts have no date (intended?), and so on. It’s an alpha start!

In-reply-to » @bender Really? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net considering other alternatives we have seeing (of which I have lost track already), yes. Why don’t you guys (client makers) take a step at a time and, for now, increase the hash length to deal with the collisions. Then location-based addressing can be added… or not, you know. 😅

In-reply-to » I just created a zs blogging template which I'm going to use for https://prologic.blog and I might starting writing long-form again soon™ 🔜 So far the "blogging" template/engine (if you weill) is quite simple. It comprises essentially of an index.md a prehook and a few utilities:

Looking forward to see how it evolves! And happy to see you leaving behind micro. Good riddance! LOL.

In-reply-to » The driver’s license documents in Germany now have an expiration date. You have to renew them every 15 years. (Not the license itself, just the documents.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de better than in the US. Our lasts only 10 years, and you need to go through the vision test, and, of course, pay). Recently they added a little gold star denoting “real ID” compliance, and we had to pay $10 to get the old one replaced—out of the regular renew “schedule”.

In here it is all about control, and money.

In-reply-to » Whooooaaaah, I just accidentally found out that VLC can play 360° videos and I am able to pan around! Crazy shit. I actually scrolled in order to adjust the volume like it usually works, but it zoomed in and out instead. Then I saw the title hinting at the 360° stuff. Even though this is not my cup of tea, it's nice that VLC supports it.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org is it a 360 degree video online, or a local one?

I know it doesn’t need to be said, but “Texudus” is not twtxt. It is an attempt to create a, arguably, “better way™️”. 🤭

In-reply-to » @kat, see this one, regarding "Anubis" (which I believe you use, right?): https://github.com/eternal-flame-AD/pow-buster

For what I can gather, kind of a waste of time, not a good solution. I might be missing bits, or may haven’t grasp the entire “story”.

In-reply-to » Next level poop: Can’t log in to reddit anymore with adblock enabled. It says invalid usename or password.

Hmm, not experiencing that. Using Zen (Firefox), under Linux, with uBlock Origin.

In-reply-to » Drawn based on a quick doodle, the canine returns victorious, from the battle of Hot Topic bargain bin, as smug as can be. Whoever will be the first to inform him, the spikes aren't real gold and it's most likely not even leather, meaning it's not what he's really been searching the universe for, better prepare themselves, to be jumped on, bitten and shredded by claws.

@thecanine@twtxt.net super well done! I especially love that tail. I can almost see it moving!

In-reply-to » Woooooaaaahh, that's bloody amazing! I wish I'd had a teacher like that.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s an amazing way to teach, and one many old school (I remember my father telling me “schools need to teach both theoretical and practical skills!”) people will agree with. The fact that graduates need to learn on the job after they graduate exemplifies the importance of hands on.

In-reply-to » @zvava I am getting [2025/09/11 12:56:01.816] ⇒ please set config.host when trying to run "bbycll". How to bypass that tiny hurdle?

Woot, thank you! Using a config.json like this:

{
  "host": "localhost:31212",
  "protocols": ["http"]
}

Indeed did the trick! I know it isn’t production ready, but I wanted to see with my own eyes, locally, how did it look. :-) I like where you are going! It is looking very nice, and polished. Can’t wait for an alpha, beta, and release!

In-reply-to » Since Google announced their intentions to heavily limit sideloading on Android, starting end of 2026, I've been looking for potential solutions, for this policy change, that threatens the majority of projects I maintain, in some way. Google already killed my browser project years ago, but I have no other choice, than to fight this, any way I can.

@thecanine@twtxt.net or, you know, you could get an iPhone. 😂😂😂
