2020-12-18T18:00:37+01:00	Every time my neighbor starts practicing “Für Elise” on her piano, I respond with “Seven Nation Army” on my bass. 🎸  (Awww, too bad I’m using headphones, eh. 🥴)
2020-12-19T07:55:15+01:00	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Ohhh, is that a wild parrot? I envy you Australians! (But you can keep the spiders.) There are wild parrots in my city, too, but they’re way too afraid to get close to humans. 😥 ![](https://www.uninformativ.de/pics/photo/birds/2017-11-05--IMG_8775-saturation-crop-scaled.jpg)

2020-12-20T13:38:02+01:00	So annoying that “i386” can mean any number of things: An actual i386, i486, i586, i686, or just “something Intel-ish with 32 bit”. Meh. If you call some binary “i386” and it needs a Pentium 2, then just say so. 🙄
2020-12-20T17:22:49+01:00	Yup, soundcard works in OS/2. Swiiish, swooosh. https://dump.uninformativ.de/v/c967774f3e/MVI_1381.MOV.webm
2020-12-20T17:25:25+01:00	“IBM VoiceType” doesn’t work too bad when doing generic commands, like “open $program” or “maximize window”. But, boy, it’s horrible when dictating text. Let’s see if this gets better after I’ve completed the 256 (!) training sentences …

2021-01-01T00:03:06+01:00	Happy … next year! 🧯 🎆
2021-01-03T12:29:17+01:00	TIL: “Zero-sum thinking” (via https://garden.melyanna.net/notes/you-are-the-project.html#fn:1). Huh. Guilty. 🤔
2021-01-03T12:30:17+01:00	Should I give Mastodon a try after all? 🤔  Certainly not doing self-hosting, though …
2021-01-03T16:45:47+01:00	This year starts with week number 53. 🥴
2021-01-03T21:53:24+01:00	@<deadguy https://dgy.fuckup.club/twtxt.txt> Why do you think it’s not a good idea? 🤔 twtxt feels a bit too “one-way” at times, since apparently many people don’t check their access.log and don’t know you’re following them / mentioning them. I originally thought this was an advantage, less noise. Dunno, maybe this is just the coronavirus isolation speaking through me. 🥴
2021-01-04T06:24:29+01:00	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> @<deadguy https://twtxt.net/user/deadguy/twtxt.txt> (#<qwpzeka https://twtxt.net/search?tag=qwpzeka>) Oh, I do have it automated. :)  Just feels like other people don’t do it. No idea, maybe it’s just because this community is so tiny.
2021-01-04T06:28:02+01:00	@<deadguy https://dgy.fuckup.club/twtxt.txt> Hmm, in my mind, Twitter and twtxt are very similar. But then again, I never had a Twitter account, so I actually don’t really know. 🥴 The best ways to have a conversation are still email and IRC, IMHO …
2021-01-04T06:35:53+01:00	(#<qbgazsq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=qbgazsq>) The answer is probably “no”, because of Netflix. I like watching movies, DVD rental is very dead, and streaming is better anyway. When it comes to the *infrastructure* of those companies, oof, how much of the web/internet will be left? 😨 It’s scary how many people use Google hosting, for example. (I have a habit of doing `dig MX …`.)
2021-01-05T07:28:43+01:00	Oof. About 13 years ago, I was introduced to the suckless project. One of its major “selling points” was that “software can be *done*”. You usually see a huge spike of commits in the beginning and then it falls off rapidly. It appears this basic idea is not very popular. We have to re-iterate it over and over: https://drewdevault.com/2021/01/04/A-culture-of-stability-and-reliability.html
2021-01-05T09:38:49+01:00	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<ucmg26q https://twtxt.net/search?tag=ucmg26q>) Ah, no, I mean the individual programs. dwm is a good example. There was a lot of activity in the early years, but it has slowed down considerably in the last decade or so. That’s not because dwm is dead, but because it’s pretty much “done”. They had a clear goal, they reached it, done. I’d like to see this approach/philosophy more often.
2021-01-05T14:58:06+01:00	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> (#<ucmg26q https://twtxt.net/search?tag=ucmg26q>) Hmm, I guess for twtxt.net it means something like “be a microblogging platform”, i.e. probably no private messages (totally new scope, not covered by the original spec, already solved by e-mail), no pastebin (already solved by other programs), no chat, … Then again, not even dwm is “pure”, because it has a built-in bar, which maybe should be an individual program. 🤔
2021-01-05T15:27:55+01:00	@<deadguy https://twtxt.net/user/deadguy/twtxt.txt> (#<z5letda https://twtxt.net/search?tag=z5letda>) Hmm, I never used their software like that. When I used dwm, I applied my own patches (or used it vanilla, like dmenu) – which worked really great *for me*. Doesn’t work for anybody. And, yes, documentation is often terrible, plus the code style is way too “concise” IMHO, lots of short variable names, too much focus on the number of lines of code. But the idea of staying small and having well defined goals, all that works great, I think.
2021-01-05T18:07:50+01:00	Deleted my account on twtxt.net. Don’t be alarmed! 😄 It was unused and caused confusion.
2021-01-05T18:12:39+01:00	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Just a quick question regarding twtxt.net’s hashes (https://github.com/jointwt/twtxt/pull/288): Why not hash the unix timestamp instead of an RFC3339-formatted string? That would avoid having to deal with the `.replace("+00:00", "Z")` stuff.
2021-01-06T12:23:31+01:00	@<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> (#<yjtzdka https://twtxt.net/conv/yjtzdka>) I see. 🤔 Agreed, just using the original line would have been the easiest thing to do. Well, FWIW, I think including the twter URL is the right thing to do. Otherwise, two “Good morning!” twts sent at the same time get the same ID. That’d be wrong, wouldn’t it?
2021-01-06T17:12:47+01:00	Is it just me or is GitHub’s dark mode a bit *too* dark … 🤔
2021-01-06T17:19:46+01:00	Haha. I actually made a Mastodon account. Didn’t take long until I got my first “spam follower”: A bot that follows everyone in an effort to gain attention. Yeah. The crux of large social media networks … (Sooner or later, the same thing will happen with twtxt, though.)
2021-01-06T19:12:45+01:00	@<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> (#<ivujrcq https://twtxt.net/conv/ivujrcq>) Ya see, your terminals are black -- now switch to a massively bright browser showing a white page and you'll be blind. 🥴  Dunno, it doesn't have to be *dark* as in *black*. twtxt.net’s dark theme, for example, is really nice.
2021-01-06T19:37:15+01:00	@<lucidiot https://tilde.town/~lucidiot/twtxt.txt> Whoa, dude, that would go to eleven! 🤯
2021-01-07T15:26:45+01:00	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<zcqwdaq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=zcqwdaq>) Yeah, a bit. But nothing’s stopping people from spamming my twtxt.txt file with spammy user agents. If someone can reach me, there will be spam. It’s inevitable. 🤣 (Just much more unlikely if twtxt stays niche and tiny.)
2021-01-07T17:14:55+01:00	@<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> (#<ivujrcq https://twtxt.net/conv/ivujrcq>) Naaah, where’s the fun in that? 🤣
2021-01-07T17:20:40+01:00	I wish Audacity had horizontal guide lines in spectrograms to make it easier to read frequencies. 🤔 https://dump.uninformativ.de/v/40de7f426e/a.png

2021-01-09T19:20:01+01:00	@<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> (#<nupokta https://twtxt.net/conv/nupokta>) Thx 🥴  It’s the first time I’m doing this. Works great, though, already feels *much* better. 🎉

2021-01-10T10:48:02+01:00	@<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> (#<nupokta https://twtxt.net/conv/nupokta>) Yeah, it’s a huge difference. Pretty happy with the results so far. 🥰 Still, I’d rather pay more next time. (The whole bass guitar thingy was an experiment, I didn’t know if I was going to quit after a few weeks. I tried guitar first, didn’t like it. So I bought the cheapest bass I could find. Turns out, it’s awesome, I love it. 😍)

Especially the lack of proper data structures (lists, dicts) is really annoying. But, uhm, don’t let me stop you! Enjoy it while it lasts! 😁

It really makes me appreciate that extension. 👍 Threading is such an important feature. 👍 Too bad the old clients don’t support that. 🤔

I’m thinking about polishing up or rewriting my own client, just to get another alternative out there. It’s a bit messy at the moment. Leveraging mutt (or another MUA) to read twtxt works great, IMHO. 
2021-01-23T06:50:17+01:00	Thinking about changing my online nickname, because it’s ancient and quite a bit stupid. I wonder how much chaos that would cause in the twtiverse. 🤔 🥴

2021-01-23T17:12:22+01:00	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<tt7d27q https://twtxt.net/search?tag=tt7d27q>) Hmm, since the username is not part of the actual feed, clients have to store the name separately. (This is actually a flaw of the spec, if you ask me.) So, if I change my name, people would still send me @vain stuff, unless they manually edit their configs. I don’t see a way for an automatic/seamless transition. 🤔 
2021-01-23T17:15:39+01:00	@<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> (#<tt7d27q https://twtxt.net/conv/tt7d27q>) Yeah, it’s a real word, sadly. I picked it a really long time ago, when I wasn’t good at English – I thought it meant something else. 😵 It’s always a bit embarrassing to read that nickname. Haven’t really thought of something else yet (doing this as an adult feels weird), maybe I’ll just use my initials or fire up a random generator. 🥴 
2021-01-23T17:17:15+01:00	Alright, rewrote my twtxt client in Python. It’s cleaner and a loooooot faster now. fork() + exec() in a Shell script is so super expensive, especially when done many times (i.e. on every twt I see) …
2021-01-23T17:19:16+01:00	(#<onuyxhq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt>) … also fixed a few bugs in the process in the area of twt hash calculation 🙄 Normalizing the time stamps is nasty.

2021-01-23T19:43:57+01:00	@<thewismit https://blog.thewismit.com/user/thewismit/twtxt.txt> (#<onuyxhq https://blog.thewismit.com/search?tag=onuyxhq>) Well, it’s a bit exotic: It fetches all the feeds I follow and puts them into a Maildir, which I can then read using Mutt. It looks like this window on the left: https://www.uninformativ.de/desktop/2021-01-12--katriawm-twtxt.png So, it’s a text-only user interface for a terminal on GNU/Linux. (Didn’t care about portability to BSD yet, maybe in the future.) The new code is not yet published, as it’s very fresh and barely tested. 🙃 👷

2021-01-23T19:57:16+01:00	@<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> (#<dvsqrpq https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt>) DVCS have made my life so much easier, I wouldn’t give that up. 🤔 Diffability™, history, checksums, syncability, easy branching. There are so many reasons for me to love it. 😊 
2021-01-23T21:11:14+01:00	I’m seeing a lot of “FOLLOW: @news from @vain using twtrd/latest” recently on twtxt.net. Bug on your end or on mine? 🤔 🙃
2021-01-24T08:34:06+01:00	@<thewismit https://blog.thewismit.com/user/thewismit/twtxt.txt> (#<dvsqrpq https://blog.thewismit.com/search?tag=dvsqrpq>) DVCS = Distributed Version Control System. Something like Mercurial, Bazaar, Darcs, or Git. (Git was probably won this “war”, but there are others.) 
2021-01-24T08:35:00+01:00	@<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> (#<dvsqrpq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=dvsqrpq>) I see. 🤔 Dunno, I might be biased here. The advantages outweigh the costs by far, IMHO. I use Git for almost everything, no matter the size. 
2021-01-24T08:35:57+01:00	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<2xd37ma https://twtxt.net/search?tag=2xd37ma>) Ah, alright! 👌

2021-01-24T15:08:49Z	My rewritten twtxt client will be called “jenny” – and I now somewhat hope that twt.social will indeed be renamed to yarn / yarn.social 😁 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_jenny
2021-01-25T17:25:38Z	@<uxgch https://uxg.ch/twtxt.txt> (#<eoghe5q https://uxg.ch/twtxt.txt>) Großartig! 🤣
2021-01-25T17:55:56Z	@<niplav https://niplav.github.io/twtxt.txt> (#<ymyo2nq https://niplav.github.io/twtxt.txt>) I don’t know. But you got me.
2021-01-25T18:05:48Z	(#<vjmprgq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt>) In case someone wants to take a look: https://uninformativ.de/git/jenny First release will follow when I used it for a while.
2021-01-26T13:44:54Z	@<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> (#<vjmprgq https://twtxt.net/conv/vjmprgq>) Hmm, yeah, that could be worth a try. However: The program tends to be I/O bound because it has to check tens of thousands of local files (one for each twt). Not sure if optimising networking makes a big difference. Plus, it’s finished in 3-6 seconds anyway. 😊
2021-01-26T14:21:22Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<vjmprgq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=vjmprgq>) Hmm. I never really thought this would matter. Most twtxt files are small and I only do a fetch about every 10 minutes. Retrieving a couple of JPEGs from people’s regular web sites is probably more costly. 🤔 Nevertheless, I’ll consider adding it. Thanks!
