@eric@itsericwoodward.com Hmm, the images are all 404ing. Also, I reckon that lots of code blocks are broken, too.

@bender@twtxt.net thank youuuu bender i missed your fun posts!!!! yeah i have been INSANELY BUSY with fujocoded work (see those newsletter posts!) it’s been tough but i’ve been making my way through it 🫡🫡🫡

@dce@hashnix.club You should try los86! 8-)

Well, what are you trying to do on this ThinkPad? That might affect the OS choices.

I really had to laugh when I read your initial comparison. I love it! :-D

@zvava@twtxt.net omg this is so cool!!!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org IIRC they’re getting attacked by bots on a huge level

also this is a really useful page!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wouldn’t the PDF version be better? https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.pdf

It was raining cats and dogs for a few minutes, I almost couldn’t see the houses down in the valley anymore. Pretty sick. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Haha, yeah, we’re also better off rolling dice sometimes. I usually don’t mind liquid sunshine either. But I have to be prepared for it. As a matter of prudence, I brought my rain jacket along. In the end, I was wet from the inside as well, though. The breathability of this plastic bag isn’t as good as they always claim it to be. Especially in summer.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I couldn’t agree more! :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Weather’s great at the moment, isn’t it? I like it when it’s cloudy, dark, chilly. 😊

@zvava@twtxt.net oh duh! Sorry, I promised I read, my brain just didn’t process it right. I shall follow your progress, and offer bits and pieces of unrequested trivialities. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oi, at least you still have weather services. We are soon to find ourselves looking at birds, ants, etc., to get a grasp. 😅

On a weather related topic, we get rains almost each day, mid-afternoon/late-afternoon. That’s great, because I love rain, but I also need to mow the wilderness in the back of the house, and the front lawn. So, yeah, kind of a conundrum.

@zvava@twtxt.net may I recommend to change the mention format upon hitting reply to something similar to what it’s used in Yarn, and perhaps hiding the hash on the post too? Looking good!

@zvava@twtxt.net Uuhh, that’s nice! And welcome to the twtxt world.

The password change might query the current password as well in order to make it difficult for attackers to change account passwords.

@bender@twtxt.net I switched back to groff a few weeks ago. 🤪

@zvava@twtxt.net Yes congrats and well done! Keep going! 🥳

@zvava@twtxt.net Hooray for more twtxt clients 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org (Haha, every time I read the word “Gophers”, I have to stop and remind myself that this is about Golang. 🤪)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I usually only have my GPS tracker with me. That trip yesterday was probably a one-time thing. 😅 It was fun, but I’d rather not carry so much stuff around. 🥴

@dce@hashnix.club Glad you liked it. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Right. 😂 groff, Markdown, groff. Justified, unjustified, justified.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com, hi there! Welcome to the twtverse! It seems you have a typo on your site address, an extra “c”.

I had some trouble with my nginx reverse proxy, but after much tweaking and fiddling, I now have the prototype version of my node-based twtxt editor up and running on my site! 😎 #twtgoals

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I noticed that:

gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2018/2018-06/2018-06-01.txt

Is the first non-justified, and it is when you started using Markdown. The last justified one was:

gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2018/2018-05/2018-05-27.txt

So, I might have found the mystery! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, nice read!

If I’m in the woods, I’d like to not waste my time with computers and focus on the beauty of nature. ;-) So, I’m not gonna participate in that event. But I’d read your articles on that subject anytime. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Oh, there’s an easy explanation. But maybe some mysteries are best left unexplained. 😃 If you want to solve this riddle: The solution is in the phlog! Somewhere! 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de that works! Reading! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net The address is/was correct but probably got mangled by the Markdown renderer. Let’s try again in a code block:

gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2025/2025-09/2025-09-03--roophloch.txt

@movq@www.uninformativ.de getting:

3Invalid request.       Error   Error   0 

On that address.

@thecanine@twtxt.net I’m seeing those Clippys everywhere now. 📎

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, the acronym is funny. 😅

Wandering through the woods for 8km … gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2025/2025-09/2025-09-03–roophloch.txt

@eric@itsericwoodward.com That’s cool, happy hacking! :-)

@ionores@twtxt.net Haven’t seen ‘em yet, unfortunately. But I will keep an eye out for them. :-)

@eric@itsericwoodward.com Congrats 🥳

@zvava@twtxt.net Bit ahrd not to 🤣

I finally have my new (top-secret) twtxt client in a working state. Next comes the deployment, which I hope to finish tonight. Release date: TBD. Stay tuned!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Or, the time of year when birds take to the skies in stunning flocks.🦆🦢

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks, mate! Glad you like my new avatar 😅👍

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net I’ve had many SD cards die in Raspberry Pis. Really annoying. I’ve eventually switched to using a read-only rootfs. 🫤

@zvava@twtxt.net Been there done that haha 🤣

@zvava@twtxt.net Enjoying it so far? 🤔 😅

@zvava@twtxt.net Hey 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social 🤗

@ionores@twtxt.net Love the new Avatar dude 😅 Very nice! 👍

@dce@hashnix.club Ooops 😅 Hope you still have enough money for the basics 🤗 I’m doing okay though!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Still alive and caffeinated! 😃

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Doing okay here 👌

Howdy @prologic@twtxt.net !! I missed hanging out the Cool Kids* 🤣 I hope everyone has had a good summer and doing well 🫡

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Now, you can automatically ban everybody requesting these old URLs.

Ni Hao; bīng qílín!
I’m just dropping in, to emphasize my love for ice cream and the Chinese crawler bots, allocating their time and resources, towards scraping my humble website.

To show my gratitude, I’ve even added a random little dog generator to https://thecanine.ueuo.com/sparkle.html so that everyone can pick up their own custom dogFT, on their journey through my site.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Dunning-Kruger twice, also in the field of photography. :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m doing that now as well, but I don’t think this is a good solution. This is going to hurt “self-hosting” in the long run: I cannot afford true self-hosting where I actually do host everything here at home – instead, I must use a cloud provider / VPS for that. It is only a matter of time until my provider starts doing AI shit as well (or rather, the customers do it) and then what? I get blocked, e.g. I can’t send email to (some) people anymore. This is already bad and it’s going to get worse.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Didn’t know that, either. 😂 The one guy even tried to test this theory with a Polaroid? And “confirmed” it? What the heck. 🥴

@dce@hashnix.club Yeah, I’ve read about that approach. Sounds clever. Truth is, I’m too tired. 😢 I don’t want to spend too much of my time fighting assholes.

I’ve now started blocking entire cloud hosters. Sorry, not sorry.
