@prologic@twtxt.net I notice that many people switch away from it, unfortunately. Even lots of friends already have a long time ago. Some just love to be traced these days.

Ta, @itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com, didn’t last long, though.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Why are you skeptical of crowd-funded projects? 🤔 I was/am/maybe considering crowdfunding what I’m trying to get off the ground myself, but now you’ve got me rethinking that 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm… Interesting. 🤔

They definitely made some bold decisions with it, but I’m always skeptical of crowd-funded hardware projects…

@JasonSanta@jasonsanta.xyz For sure. Even the self-hosted version is pretty easy to deploy, but I’m plenty satisfied with the web-based PWA. 🌤️

@JasonSanta@jasonsanta.xyz That don’t and are considered illegal, becuase cash is still legal tender in the US? 🤔

apparently, we have to remind people that cash is still legal tender 😅 – at my local café

@JasonSanta@jasonsanta.xyz Welcome back! 👋

@JasonSanta@jasonsanta.xyzI was aware of it, but I hadn’t looked at it yet. Pretty cool!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice color on the clouds.

Thanks, @david@daiwei.me! I’m glad I kept it so you can enjoy it. I almost deleted it.

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Where would the world be without Real Heroes ™ like that? 🤣

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Fair warnings. zs is incredibly simple, deliberately so. LMK if you have any q’s when trying it out, it probably has confusing docs 🤣

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz yeah I think so. Btw, if you’re looking for an SSG, I quite like the one I maintain over at https://zs.mills.io

It’s basically what my own blob is too 😅 – The thing is though, if you see @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org’s posts, they get pretty long, there really isn’t any limit to the length of posts you can make in your Twtxt feed in the first place Haha 🤣

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Folder of text files with auto-generated index by the webserver, yeah, that comes close. Like meillo’s blogs: https://marmaro.de/lue/ https://marmaro.de/apov/

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com That was pretty fun and funny 😄

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Muhahaahaahaaahaaaahaaaaa! My last thunderstorm was during summer camp setup in the night. We decided to evacuate the tents into the kitchen building. The closest hit was about a kilometer away. So, completely boring compared to your sight.

@david@daiwei.me I have never heard of JMAP before. Interesting.

We use Mailcow which is probably really overkill.

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz I imagine this:

@david@daiwei.me I use OpenBSD’s smtpd, which was super easy to set up. It gets a little bit more complicated these days because you also need a DKIM setup, so every outgoing mail goes from smtpd to dkimproxy and back to smtpd. And then dovecot for POP3/IMAP (has basically nothing to do with the other two).

I’m cheating a bit, though: I use config management on top, which means that all the UNIX users and mailboxes and directories are created by that. If you were to do that manually, it would be a huge pain.

Maybe I’ll write a blog post about this some day, just for fun. 🤔

JMAP? Never heard of it.

@david@daiwei.me I use Poste.io internally
Maddy at the edge – I’ve also hears good things about Mail-in-box, Mailu and Mox

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz yeah, I totally get it. Especially after the insane type of weather we’ve been getting lately… but hey, soak in as much sunlight while you still can, we might start longing for that instead of storm and rain in a couple of months from now 😆

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @david@daiwei.me Unfortunately, it has only lasted for a couple of hours, but Ho~lly!! We’ve had the loudest Thunder Bangs any of us has ever heard. Maybe a redux tonight? I Could’t get enough of the neighbors’ screams (and I’m not even sorry). 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :‘-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Your wish … is my … command … ? 🤣🤣🤣

https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-10-08/0/POSTING-en.html @movq@www.uninformativ.de Fuck me dead and bury me pregnant!

@arne@uplegger.eu @david@daiwei.me I second that. Looks great!

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz @david@daiwei.me @prologic@twtxt.net @aelaraji@aelaraji.com Very beautiful! I wouldn’t necessarily want to walk through the puddle in 2, but I do love the colors here a ton. 1 looks quaint as heck.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com @david@daiwei.me It’s raining all day long here, too. It’s supposed to stop later for the night and continue tomorrow. No thunderstorm or hurricane, though. Enjoy!

@david@daiwei.me Thank you! I’m not brave enough to play in public, but I know several people who do. I basically only play with friends or friends-of-friends.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes, @david@daiwei.me is correct - it is a website with (most) everything one would need to run a fantasy tabletop role-playing game, either in-person or online. I use a service called Roll20 which provides a “shared” tabletop with virtual maps, dice, and character sheets that all the players can see (and I can control). It’s really alot of fun - it’s basically adult make-believe, but with a shared set of rules and a “game master” to keep the story moving. 😁

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Woah! these are gorgeous!!

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz very nice! By the way, where are you from?

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Oh dear, I see. :-(

I’m not conviced about the Swatch Internet Time.

@david@daiwei.me Ahh, I’m only confused then because I’ve never seen anything quite like this, nor have I played and role playing games on a table-top either.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com I think so, what I was mostly confused about is the website itself. It has a lot of content and verbiage. Can the game be played on the website? Or is it table-top played? 🤔

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz LOL, you aren’t the only one who remembers it: see https://github.com/ZuraGuerra/beat_time and https://hackaday.io/project/193777-the-curious-case-of-swatch-internet-time 🕚

@prologic@twtxt.net It depends on which part you’re asking about…

First some quick context: I’ve been into tabletop role-playing games (ex: Dungeons & Dragons) since I was a teenager, and I’ve been playing and/or running games for most of the last decade (mostly on Discord for the past few years, as my players are scattered around the country).

The Planar Vagabond’s Guide to the Multiverse is a website where I’ve collected much of the material I’ve written or adapted into my custom RPG ruleset, HOSR (Heroic Old-School Roleplaying), and I just published some new stuff there. 🤩

While most RPGs are played as “campaigns” (over multiple gaming sessions), a one-shot is an adventure that can (theoretically) be finished in a single-night (3-5 hours of gameplay). I’ve done horror-themed one-shots around Halloween for years, typically based on the classic gothic adventure, Ravenloft. But this year, I’m running something new(-er) called Escape the O.V.T.!, and I’m being intentionally cagey about it because I want it to be a surprise for my players.

Does that explain it? I’m happy to go deeper on any of it. 🙂

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Always using UTC in logs helps a ton.

The worst are logs were timestamps miss any timezone information at all. Makes me furious.

Dealing with time is always great fun…

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Haha, we had the same joke. :-D Took them also many attempts to include a timestamp datatype in the standard library that is halfway usable.

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Yeah, timber framing is soooo cool. I love it, too.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Hmmm 🤔 What is this exaactly?

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Bwahahaahaaahaaaa, I didn’t see that one coming! :‘-D

We switch back to normal time on the last Sunday in October. Fuck daylight saving time!

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Time to get some pigs, they love to be acorn-fattened!

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Bon appetit!

@jecxjo@sh0.xyz Yes please! See: https://git.mills.io/prologic/parley

@iolfree@tilde.club True!

@thecanine@twtxt.net Sweet!

@khaled@twtpub.com Howdy!
