@kiwu@twtxt.net Congrats 🥳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de 🤣 LMAO! this one caught me off guard, I wasn’t expecting THIS

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Yeah, it’s really the last thing we need. I’d love to see X11 getting more attention – but not like this …

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org you will have to agree, though, that Yarn has contributed to make it possible to mass adopt (with its many glitches, bugs, and all) because, still, the web is king.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, I think something glitched at my end for a brief moment. It does it just fine.

@bender@twtxt.net This should be a core feature, no configuration required. 🤔

How do you get your man pages to hyphenate? Mine doesn’t do it.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz On the one hand, all these programs have a very long history and the technology behind manpages is actually very powerful – you can use it to write books:

https://www.troff.org/pubs.html

I have two books from that list, for example “The UNIX programming environment”:

https://movq.de/v/c3dab75c97/upe.jpg

It’s a bit older, of course, but it looks and feels like a normal book, and it uses the same tech as manpages – which I think is really cool. 😎

It’s comparable to LaTeX (just harder/different to use) but much faster than LaTeX. You can also do stuff like render manpages as a PDF (man -Tpdf cp >cp.pdf) or as an HTML file (man -Thtml cp >cp.html). I think I once made slides for a talk this way.

On the other hand, traditional manpages (i.e., ones that are not written in mandoc) do not use semantic markup. They literally say, “this text is bold, that text over here is italics”, and so on.

So when you run man foo, it has no other choice but to show it in black, white, bold, underline – showing it in color would be wrong, because that’s not what the source code of that manpage says.

Colorizing them is a hack, to be honest. You’re not meant to do this. (The devs actually broke this by accident recently. They themselves aren’t really aware that people use colors.)

If mandoc and semantic markup was more commonly used, I think it would be easier to convince the devs to add proper customizable colors.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Any time 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Here’s the full config I use.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Cool! 😎 Yeah I’ll add that soon™

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh sweet! I was gonna say, setting up those rules is a bit “complicated” 🤣 But I’m glad you worked it out! 👌

Hello @jassim@twtxt.net 👋

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ahh what do you mean by images don’t embed? They definitely should! By default however all domains are blocked, so you might want to either allow some domains or just put in a .* entry to allow all/any domsins. Screenshot attached

@arne@uplegger.eu lol 😅

@arne@uplegger.eu LOl that’s hilarious 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Colorized manpages have been a thing for a very long time:

https://movq.de/v/81219d7f7a/s.png

Problem is, hardly anybody knows this, because you configure this by … drumroll … overwriting TERMCAP entries of less in your ~/.bashrc:

export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\e[38;5;3m'      # Bold
    export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\e[0m'           # End Bold
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\e[4;38;5;6m'    # Underline
    export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\e[0m'           # End Underline
export GROFF_NO_SGR=1                     # Needed since groff 1.23

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @movq@www.uninformativ.de Sorry, I neither finished it nor in time. :-( That’s as good as it’s gonna get for the moment: https://git.isobeef.org/lyse/gelbariab/-/tree/master/rss-proxys?ref_type=heads

The README should hopefully provide a crude introduction. The example configuration file is documented fairly well, I believe (but maybe not). You probably still have to consult and maybe also modify the source code to fit your needs.

Let me know if you run into issues, have questions, wishes etc.

Hahaha, I first thought of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA52uNzx7Y4 when I read @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz’s “lyrics”. ;-)

Doesn’t sound bad, I like it. The synth reminded me of some song by Beast in Black.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I also wondered for a very long time why nobody improved the man experience in the terminal. I’d love to see links and more colors.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I still haven’t tried it. 🤐 Some day, perhaps …

@kiwu@twtxt.net Hello. 😅

Welcome to the club, @kiwu@twtxt.net!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ta, very catchy indeed! :-) Their polyphony is great.

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yeah, it’s all about simplicity. That’s what got me hooked. In its original form without the extensions, you can even read the raw feed and it doesn’t feel all that bad.

@kiwu@twtxt.net Hi!!!!!!!!! 😆 Welxome! 🙇‍♀️

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Thank you! I have to check out more of their stuff.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Holy cow! O_o

Reducing the overall screen time is desireable, that’s right. I should do the same.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de How many? All of them!

My goodness, what assholes. Reacting based on the User-Agent might just work. For now.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org To be fair, I did first notice this a while ago. But no monitor I ever had showed burn-ins like this (be it TFT or CRT), so I didn’t know that I should have sent it back. And then it got worse over time and now I see ghost images after 20-30 minutes. :(

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz after 5 years or so with Linode, I started having little—but annoying—issues with them. Moved to Vultr and have been very happy with them since Ubuntu 16.04, so 9 years, and a little bit more.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, because, you know, even if you try entering a fake date of birth, the “algorithms” will move it, like a Ouija board, changing it back to the right one /s. 🙄

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Just do it 🤣 I do this daily for work. It’s great!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ooooooohhhhh, nice 😲

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Don’t worry, this hype will end as quickly as the last one haha 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sounds about right 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net I’d expect a custom build like that to cost at least 50’000€ here in Europe. Used campers with 100’000 - 200’000 km already on their clock are 20-40k€, apparently. 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Smart decision. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Too bad, no FLOSS software. :-/ But thanks! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What the heck, that’s terrible! :-( This planned obsolence right after warranty really sucks balls.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 😆 But OTOH not nearly as much as you think. Plus you get to build what you want!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org A web app called Floor Plan Creator

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Looks like it. 🤔 Didn’t dig deeper into this, just uninstalled it. 🥴

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 4 years. 🫤

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s about time to get a new monitor. How old is it, btw.?

@prologic@twtxt.net If anything looks expensive, then it’s that. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Cool! What program do you use to draw this up?

@thecanine@twtxt.net Nice! :-)

When tidying up my good mate’s birthday party site last night we emptied the beer pong cups which had been filled with just ordinary tap water. There was also a cute dog whose owner gave it its drinking bowl, but it was not interested. Just for fun I offered it one of those water cups and it began to drink. We all had to laugh so hard because it was completely unexpected and looked so funny. Can’t describe this comicalness of the situation. :-D

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Uuhh, I love this! Who’s that, what’s that song?

Been mucking around with designing my own camper (floor plan).
