@lucidiot@tilde.town, thanks for the bug report. Does anybody have an idea for https://github.com/mdom/txtnish/issues/12?

terraforming idea: instead of messing with atmospheres, tow your target planets into their respective habitable zones (and if you have several of them, have them exchange momentum to save on ∆v)

@lucidiot@tilde.town haha why not :P But for now it’s all in personnal notes or drafts ^^

@lucidiot@tilde.town [re: abandoned ideas] Thanks for the inspiration! How do you keep track of projects now? Do you know about TaskWarrior?

forgot about twtxt, is a nice idea

@lucidiot@tilde.town I had this idea. I can probably just set the gz header and send gzip. The request is ending up in a cgi script written in C, which assemples the response. I can do pretty much everything there…

I have trouble with a web crawler using the TOR network. It’s misusing the gopher proxy on my page. I don’t want to disable/block tor (that would be the easy way out). It’s permanently changing user agents and ignoring robots.txt. It ignores HTTP status codes. I’m currently serving it 4MB binary garbage in form of Link. It sucked in about 40GB of data now, but it doesn’t explode and keeps crawling. Any other idea about what to do with it?

@von@tilde.town: I stole the idea from a random webpage that listed a finger address for contact information. I would assume it’s pretty effective against spam ;)

@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for the suggestion using Keybase. Playing around with the authenticity idea.

@von@tilde.town having topic-specific twtxt feeds is not a silly idea. Not sure if the clients allow easy switching though.

@kas@enotty.dk twtxt.txt file splitting for achival is an interesting idea. Should not need to be yearly only. High volume feeds could split faster. Needs a spec though.

@kas@enotty.dk: private twtxt file: Haha, could also be agood idea yeah :)

@kas@enotty.dk that said, I have no idea who bothers looking at the commented-out portions of others’ twtxt files. I only bother on rare occasions. Sometimes, there are interesting easter-eggy things to see.

@kas@enotty.dk doesn’t seem like a bad idea. I suppose I should do that one day too eventually, but I haven’t livetweeted enough Apple events to bloat my file to where I’d want to bother.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net @adiabetic@www.frogorbits.com I’m really not into MacOS so I had no idea what Catalina might be. But I like the zsh. 😃

My idea of a fun Saturday night: achieving Camera Roll Zero.

Regarding my problem with some chars from @kas@enotty.dkdk: The txtnish output looks fine. As I don’t see anything in my program that could cause this I asked in the #golang #xmpp room. Let’s see if someone has a good idea.

I’ve always loved the idea of twtxt, but had no idea so many people are using it.

app idea: deepfake chatbot that takes calls from unknown numbers for you, and your phone only rings if the caller is someone you’d want a phonecall from

i just started using i3 (i3-gaps) on my laptop and holy shit this is so wonderful… i had no idea tiling WMs were so amazing but i’m never going back

Saw https://github.com/matteocorti/roll in the updated-formulæ list in Homebrew. I had no idea https://github.com/topics/dice-roller was a thing.

Bad idea of the day: twitter except it just updates your local ~/.plan file & keeps no history

idea for a sense: decode emission/absorption lines of celestial bodies into smells so that one can identify atmosphere types at a glance/whiff, maybe make hot blackbodies smell like ovens and free oxygen like rain

CS programs encourage the idea (already common among students) that software engineers are professionals. First contact with the industry demonstrates that to the extent that folks have grown since graduation, its in their ability to delay the inevitable collapse of ugly hacks.

Trendism is a complicated inversion of the aphorism ‘mediocre minds talk about people, and great minds talk about ideas’: we value most those who talk about whether or not people are talking about an idea.

Trendism is the idea that, in Dellio’s White Noise, when people photograph the Most Photographed Barn In America, they are not acting absurdly but creating net value for society.
