Twts matching #space
Sort by: Newest, Oldest, Most Relevant

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I just reread the spec and it seems to be even a bit outdated regarding machine-parsable conversation grouping. We long dropped the need to specify a whole hash tag with URL (#<hash url>), the simplified version without the URL (#hash) is enough.

The hash tag extension specification is kind of missing the same. However, I’m not sure if that short form is considered supported in general (as opposed to be a special case for subjects only) by the majority of the twtxt/yarn community.

Now the question arises, in order to keep things simple, should we even only allow the simplified twt hash tag for subjects and forbid the long version? This would also save quite a bit of space. The URL is probably not shown anyways in most clients. And if so, clients might rewrite URLs to their own instances. On the other hand, there’s technically nothing wrong with the long version in current parser implementations. And deprecating stuff without very good reason isn’t cool.

Gemini capsule
Gemini is a lightweight Internet protocol. It’s heavier than Gopher
but lighter than HTTP(S), especially if combined with all other web
technologies. The name makes sense if Gopher is Project Mercury and
the web is the Apollo program.

One of its uses is to serve gemtext, which is a lightweight
Markdown-like markup language, instead of HTML. Gemini browsers don’t
have support for neither Javascript, nor CSS, nor any of the other new
web technologies. It can be beautiful anyway, s … ⌘ Read more

Mastodon 3.5 finally supports the Update ActivityPub activity. GoBlog supports sending updates for quite a while already, but only Pleroma showed the updated posts and not Mastodon. That would have been useful recently, when I posted “Spaces!” but wanted to post “Tabs!” and updated my post. 😅 ⌘ Read more

Understanding Color Management
I worked on a project where I dived deep into understanding how modern
color management works, including things like color spaces, ICC profiles
and more. As I learnt here and there, I decided to write this post, both
for my future self, and others who may struggle with some of the
concepts as well.

What is color management?

Color management deals with translating between representations of
colors across a variety of devices. Throughout this post, we’ll use
natural language as … ⌘ Read more

Continuing my no-HVAC challenge, this year I’ve been heating myself/my partner by either making a ghetto Kotatsu by placing a crappy old space heater under a blanket and a box or by using an electric blanket.

In-reply-to » @movq How is deletion supposed to work? In mutt I deleted by D~d>1m and then fetched by !jenny -f. This brings back all deleted twts. Isn't lastmods used to skip older twts?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

I’m curious, what is your use case for deleting twts?
Not just deleting, also sorting into other folders is impossible.
It also doesn’t scale in the long term. When I cannot delete twts then I have a full copy of every twtxt I follow - forever. That’s a waste of bandwidth and disk space.
