Maybe twtxt is what I'm after... 2025-08-25T22:43:58Z ♩ Is there anybody out there? ♩ 2025-08-25T23:15:22Z Assuming I configured this right, my twtxt should now also be available over Gemini! 2025-08-25T23:38:44Z Apparently twtxt wasn't the right client to use. twet seems to be alright, though. 2025-08-26T00:03:40Z (#bevyqgq) Yep! Seems to work! 2025-08-26T11:21:23Z (#hzbwhuq) @ At this rate, I'm going to be carrying a feature phone in a few years' time. 2025-08-26T14:09:00Z (#osfyxka) @ Yay! 2025-08-26T21:58:58Z Since 2020, I've been putting together one playlist every year, in which each track represents one month of that year. However, I also have assigned each season two specific songs, which do not change year-to-year: Spring: "A Little Bit Of Love" by Weezer and "Gretel" by Alex G; Summer: "Dumb" by Roe Kapara and "Endless Bummer" by Weezer; Autumn: "1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins and "The Dead Come Talking" by Roe Kapara; Winter: "Red Water (Christmas Mourning)" by Type O Negative and "Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)" by The Darkness 2025-08-26T22:18:27Z (#bunbmvq) This would have been neater, but evidently my client foesn't support multiline posts. 2025-08-26T22:21:04Z (#3v5elqa) Also not sure why this post is duplicated on twtxt.net. Ah, well... 2025-08-27T08:22:27Z (#52esljq) @ Hi! 2025-08-27T21:34:22Z You know, I think I do actually like it here better than my other social media. It's slower and quieter, but it feels more organic and nobody's trying to sell me anything, promote their podcast, or change the way I think. It's just... nice! 2025-08-27T21:50:38Z So, in addition to HTTPS and Gemini, my twtxt should now also be available over Gopher (gopher://hashnix.club:70/0/~dce/twtxt.txt). Not sure who, if anyone, would need this; but since my tilde provides Gopher hosting, I'd may as well mirror my twtxt there as well. 2025-08-28T20:05:26Z (#o3ru4sa) @ Why the fuck do they think people need that‽ Most people don't even use regular tab groups, and now they want to shoehorn an ML model in there as well‽ 2025-08-28T21:39:27Z It might just be my client, but it seems that I cannot track multiple URLs at once. As such, all three of my twtxt URLs will work for following, but mentions will only reach me at my HTTPS URL (https://hashnix.club/~dce/twtxt.txt). If there is a client that can cope with twtxt mirrors, I would love to know about it. 2025-08-28T21:40:17Z (#olsdv7a) @ 2025-08-29T12:34:51Z (#ohgzbaa) @ @ My metadata only has my HTTPS URL. I didn't consider having multiple. I was talking about my config.yaml. Jenny sounds like a good client, so I might give that a try. 2025-08-29T12:39:06Z (#3g4yrqa) @ @ My feed should be fixed now 2025-08-29T16:25:02Z (#6uc4zla) @ I love a good drink. What kind of wine is it? 2025-08-30T09:28:41Z (#m47speq) @ I hate it when businesses do this. As well as being annoying and unreliable, Microsoft software is known to have a hell of a lot of security vulnerabilities, and the AI features increase the attack surface. One can use a client like Thunderbird for the email, but Teams doesn't really have an alternative. Awful stuff. 2025-08-31T15:24:01Z (#sux32qq) @ I heard about a defence against badly-behaved crawlers a while ago: an HTML zip bomb. [This post](https://ache.one/notes/html_zip_bomb) explains how to do it. Essentially, web servers can serve compressed versions of webpages and, with a little trickery, one can replace the compressed page with a different file. After that, any bot that tries to crawl the page will instead download and unpack a zip bomb that will cause it to crash. 2025-09-01T08:19:46Z Welp, my rent's gone out and my student loan won't be in for another week, so I'm not spending anything for a while. How's everyone else's September going? 2025-09-01T22:05:30Z (#mbkirkq) @ Sounds cool! I think I'll also have a go... 2025-09-04T11:11:08Z (#ma6x3ka) @ That's rather a nice phlog right there. Really enjoyed reading it. 2025-09-05T11:19:08Z I have a late-2010s ThinkPad running OpenBSD, but it's about as fast as a snail carrying heavy shopping through molasses. I'd like to run something other than Linux, for variety, but the other members of the BSD family failed for various reasons. What OS do you guys think I should try? 2025-09-05T16:59:23Z (#77l7y6a) @ I'm looking for an OS that runs better than Windows (🤮) and through which I can do basic stuff like read RSS feeds and browse geminispace; but which I can also learn from. 2025-09-06T10:09:14Z (#2y5lbaq) @ It's a T400 with 8GB of RAM and an SSD. 2025-09-06T10:45:05Z (#fvvdrjq) @ Whoa! That's cool! 2025-09-07T21:08:29Z (#ukdtj7q) @ Whoa! Nice shots! I'm supposed to be able to see it from where I am right now, but it doesn't look particularly red yet. Always love a good eclipse... 2025-09-07T21:12:46Z Thanks to a blog post by ~solderpunk and the presence of ImageMagick on my pubnix, all of my weirdcore art (apart from the animated works) is now under 32K in size! Honestly, I'd say the lower JPEG quality actually adds to the vibe of the images: something from the early web, taken permanently out of context and long forgotten. 2025-09-07T21:20:41Z (#2wvfbdq) gopher://hashnix.club:70/1/~dce/art/ 2025-09-09T11:43:17Z (#nohbfvq) @ That sounds pretty cool. Have you heard of an artist called The Night Monitor before? https://thenightmonitor.bandcamp.com/ 2025-09-10T11:32:59Z (#fxnr6ya) @ I would call it "dark ambient". It's a broad genre, but one I rather like. 2025-10-14T23:03:12Z Well, it sure has been a while since I last posted here. Just up late doing yet another Linux installation. Debian turned out to be about as stable as a plutonium Jenga tower, and Alpine refused to boot, so I gave it the boot. Here's to hoping that Arch fares better. Oddly, I've always found Arch to be considerably more stable than other distros... 2025-10-18T19:47:07Z Random question: does anyone here happen to know anything about retro hacking? 2025-12-25T01:26:47Z Merry Xmas! 2026-01-01T00:05:02Z happy new year from the uk 2026-02-06T22:58:59Z Ah, nothing quite like a cold beer after a day of moving house without the use of a vehicle. 2026-03-08T13:03:36Z I'll go through Winter thinking I don't suffer from seasonal depression, then see a single ray of sunshine at the start of March and feel as if I've just been resurrected. 2026-07-01T11:41:52Z I love making silly little programs to solve problems I rarely have... 2026-07-01T11:43:12Z (#yss2ibjz3uqu) https://codeberg.org/hellfire103/misc-scripts/src/branch/trunk/scram.tcl 2026-07-14T23:57:48Z Just finished putting together my new cwm setup! http://retrofed.com/static/media/posts/DZ/5x/DZ5xPMuwfVJrhp5.jpg 2026-07-15T17:36:43Z I've been coding again, and this time it might actually be useful to other people! https://codeberg.org/hellfire103/golden-retriever 2026-07-15T21:16:14Z (#yjkud533wfrs) @ Thank you! 2026-07-15T21:20:14Z (#jglikxkylo4t) @ I rather like KornShell. Not as awkwardly bare-bones as Bourne or Almquist; but more minimal and lightweight than Bash or Zsh. 2026-07-15T21:37:04Z (#srwfrqvl26rv) @ Those two twtxts were separate replies. However, I am currently using twet, which doesn't support hash v2. 2026-07-15T22:01:13Z (#a5yd7qyxunyd) @ twet 1.3.0 built from v1.3.0-21-gff43ee0 at 2025-08-25T23:27:41Z, from https://github.com/quite/twet. Unmaintained since 2020. To be honest, I was considering writing a basic client of my own... 2026-07-15T22:20:33Z (#yepfpkw5p5tx) @ I was actually trying to use twtxt.app, with Codeberg as a backend, but I kept getting a 403 error. As for twtd, well, my twtxt is hosted on a pubnix. The people behind Hashnix are really nice, but I'd rather not bother them with software requests if there's a simpler solution, and I imagine it would be rude of me to run a deamon from my homedir without permission. Could be worth asking, though, unless I decide to write a client myself. 2026-07-15T22:41:14Z (#gyoz5rrbvrp2) @ I created a repo called twtxt and an application key with read/write access to it (and only it). I then cloned the repo on Hashnix and hardlinked my twtxt into it, before committing and pushing. Next, I supplied the appropriate details on twtxt.app, under Codeberg/Gitea, and clicked "Connect". gitea https://codeberg.org/api/v1/user: 403 Forbidden. 2026-07-15T22:44:29Z (#sfer3n5hu2yd) @ Details: "https://codeberg.org", "(API key)", "twtxt", "twtxt.txt", "https://hashnix.club/~dce/twtxt.txt" 2026-07-15T23:18:28Z (#2egasrikvb3e) @ My twtxt.txt is on Codeberg. The repo contains (or would contain) an exact copy of the file as it is on Hashnix. 2026-07-15T23:37:19Z (#n35uvijhae6l) @ @ Oh, I see. 2026-07-16T11:10:16Z (#fi3mqu4paiud) @ That's more-or-less it. If I could do it without Codeberg (just using SCP, SSHFS, or something similar), that would be even better, but probably out-of-scope for the project. My thinking behind how twtxt.app worked was that I could give it access to a repo, in order to add to my twtxt.txt, but that the alternative feed URL would then be presented to other users instead of the Codeberg URL; unless, of course, this is already part of the twtxt metadata. In short, the feed URL would just be a dummy. 2026-07-16T11:18:19Z @ Additional: I still get the 403 if I don't specify a feed URL. 2026-07-16T11:34:07Z (#l2r5iatnwker) @ That should be it fixed! 2026-07-16T16:51:13Z (#o37vs2yshctj) @ I'd recommend going for ksh93. oksh is quite barebones, and mksh doesn't support `set -o multiline`. 2026-07-17T04:12:28Z (#n35uvijhae6l) @ It works! Using it right now! Thank you!!! 2026-07-17T04:13:22Z (#5twpywqhmef3) @ Thanks!
