Micro.blog’s new newsletter feature
I think the new micro.blog feature for newsletters is the right approach. Blog first, newsletter second. But newsletters are not difficult to set up, they only need to be activated by a checkbox. ⌘ Read more
Maybe I should write down my political views and thoughts in extra posts on my German blog in the future, instead of putting them in the monthly review and then translating them as well. English readers probably won’t get much out of it… Sorry! ✌️ ⌘ Read more
Peter Saint-Andre: Aristotle Research Report #17: Let the Re-Reading Begin
Just under two years ago, I thought I was done with phase one of my research into Aristotle’s views o human flourishing, having at that point read around 120 distinct works by or related to Aristotle (including all of Plato’s dialogues). Well, I was wrong: since then I’ve read an additional 150 works, almost exclusively in the scholarly literature on Aristotle. Now I have three whole shelves of books about Aristotle in my office…. ⌘ Read more

My thoughts about range requests
Additionally to pagination also range request should be used to reduce traffic.
I understand that there are corner cases making this a complicated matter.
I would like to see a meta header saying that the given twtxt is append only with increasing timestamps so that a simple strategy can detect valid content fetched per range request.
- read meta part per range request
- read last fetched twt at expected range (as known from last fetch)
- if fetched content starts with expected twt then process rest of data
- if fetched content doesn’t start with expected twt discard all and fall back to fetching whole twtxt
Pagination (e.g. archiving old content in a different file) will lead to point 4.
Of course especially pods should support range requests, correct @prologic@twtxt.net?
My thoughts about pagination (paging)
Following the discussion about pagination (paging) I think that’s the right thing to do.
Fetching the same content again and again with only a marginal portion of actually new twts is unbearable and does not scale in any way. It’s not only a waste of bandwidth but with increasing number of fetchers it will also become a problem for pods to serve all requests.
Because it’s so easy to implement and simple to understand, splitting twtxt file in parts with next and prev pointers seems a really amazing solution.
As in RFC5005 there should also be a meta header pointing to the main URL, e.g. current or baseurl or something like that. This way hashes can calculated correctly even for archived twts.
Telegram Ads
So Telegram now has ads. But unlike the ads from Google, Facebook or Apple, the ads are not personalized and much more privacy friendly. The ads simply consist of a maximum 160-character message with no external links and are displayed only in large public channels. ⌘ Read more

Apple’s event on Monday is bringing, as always, speculation to the table. One thing most outlets seem to agree is the introduction of an “M1X” chip, thought Apple might call it differently. M1X might also mean, M1(we don’t know what comes after, or next generation). Either way, I would really like to see the return of the 27” iMac, but I will not hold my breath. Nevertheless, Monday is going to be an exciting day for many, including me! 🍎

@movq@www.uninformativ.de “Random thought: Would be great if you could do for i in ...; do something "$i" & done ; wait in a Shell script, but with the Shell only spawning one process per CPU.” -> Interesting which annoyances stay in the back of the head – I’d never articulated this, but it’s absolutely true that this would be great.

Writing a “tweet” is low-friction, and the medium forces you to chunk out ideas into (mostly) self-contained thoughts.
@vain@www.uninformativ.de the truth is, i never “got” or liked twitter. i think it’s way too noisy and a terrible way to have a conversation, what with the character limit and all. and then mastodon came along and i thought it would be different, but then it became too twitter-like. i get what you mean about twtxt and discoverability, that is one of its drawbacks.
@prologic@twtxt.net My thoughts on it being if they switched from a different way of hosting the file or multiple locations for redundancy..
I have an idea of using something like SRV records where they can define weighted url endpoints to reach.
