@movq@www.uninformativ.de To clarify, Markdown is just text. 😊 I can do bolding, link things, and if single return multilines ever comes to jenny, I would be able to do bulleted and numbered lists.

Headings are OK too

The only things—that I know of—that doesn’t work is “> “, but I can use “>”, like so:

D’oh!

So, jenny allows me to write Markdown almost just fine!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I am getting this when I run it on cron (extra lines in between becuase otherwise jenny will make them a mash):

In-reply-to » @jlj I like your website's look, but i was disappointed to find that 'finger' doesn't seem to actually work. ;-)

You need better pen test scripts. :-) Seriously, the protocol is absurdly simple. Turn it on! Don’t trust any of the implementations? Write your own!

i remember having quite strange & unusual qualia as a child (kind of hard to describe & varied, i remember 2 specifically (not just the old “having more imagination” or “being easier to frighten”, but on a similar level as déja vu)), but these have faded over time as i went through adolescence. i wonder whether this is common. perhaps i should write that up, together with a rough description of those qualia

Nobody’s saying he can’t write code any more (I mean, I think his code is crap and wish he’d stop, but that’s another issue). But he should not be on any board, should not be in any leadership position, should not be held up as a role model or even vaguely okay.

I agree clients should present things better (part of why I’m writing one!). But that should be additive. There’s a reason we’re not passing json around.

my plan would involve writing the code for a seed asi and giving it a completely senseless goal, such as maximizing the number of paperclips & spreading as far as possible. this would benefit no one & cause untold damage. i will take no questions

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it reads a seed file. I’m using mine. it scans for any mention links and then scans them recursively. it reads from http/s or gopher. i don’t have much of a db yet.. it just writes to disk the feed and checks modified dates.. but I will add a db that has hashs/mentions/subjects and such.

okay. txtnish is now officially sketchy. sometimes feeds don’t update, even if I run txtnish update, and this means missing replies. I gotta find something else if I’m going to make this more than a write-only experience.

being able to render TeX math equations to PNG files is pretty empowering, because it allows me to write about more technical things here that would otherwise be more difficult to communicate in plaintext.
