I tried using Firefox Focus as my default browser for a while but it was to extreme. It's still the only one on my home screen. 50-60 is sort of my intent, but then it keeps being "just one more...".

Cleaning up some of the *500* open tabs on my phone. I realized that if I don’t have *some* place to stash the good ones, I won’t go through any. http://a.9srv.net/b/2025-01-16

I've been using nile, my alternative WM for #plan9, for over a decade now. I just made some additional improvements and finally gave it a web page: http://a.9srv.net/src/nile/

I've talked about how I do backups on unix a bunch of times, but someone asked again today and I realized I didn't have it written down where I could point to. So I wrote a lab report: http://a.9srv.net/reports/index.html#vac-unix

@eapl I agree with you that the obviously-correct filename is tw.txt. That's what mine's always been.

TWO HOURS wasted today trying to figure out why an image wasn't loading on some web page and what I was doing wrong... when the issue is the friggin' DSL router is *injecting* headers into http (non-https) pages. GAH! I'm ready to throw the thing. I've never been so mad at CPE. 🤬

Reading about browser security measures and getting sad we don't live in a world where cross-site scripting is a feature instead of a bug.

Earlier this week I found myself on the RIAA’s side in a legal dispute. Now I think Amy Coney Barrett got it right in her SCOTUS dissent. Truly we are in Bizarro World.

Fire-proof safes are generally designed so the internal temperature stays at or below ~350°F. Is there a computer medium I can write that's likely to survive an extended stay around that temperature? Storage size doesn't matter too much; a CD would be plenty (although an actual CD would presumably turn to soup).

I run Plan 9 on my server and my main home workstation (a raspberry pi). My "daily driver" time is basically split between that and a Mac (excluding time on my phone, i suppose). I think it looks elegant, too. :-)

I'm 148249012 if anyone wants to say goodbye. 🤣 I never had the attachment to ICQ I did to AIM, but this is still the end of one heck of a run.

There's other potential uses for the tool (compare syscall latency between OSes, stat latency between file systems), but not what i'm after.

For my purposes, the comparison would only be useful to systems running Plan 9; if you happen to have that, yes please!

This was interesting: I didn't expect so much variation in reported times. If you happen to have #plan9 running on some other VPS, I'd love to hear your results. https://pdx.social/@a/112481970480703254

@adi I kinda bounced off learning go properly a few years back. This little toy would be a good thing to try again on, now that you mention it. Maybe.

Started writing something from scratch yesterday using thread(3) and wow do I miss writing in Limbo instead. :-/ #plan9

Just over here writing my Senator's office to see if we can get a new Federally Funded R&D Center created. 😳🤞

Well crap. I think I just realized that if my profile photo was a person it could vote in this year’s election. Probably time for a new default one.

I've added myself to the registries at registry.twtxt.org and twtxt.tilde.institute. I wonder if there's a list of registries. #meta

Huh. At some point, my twtxt-via-ssh shortcut from my phone stopped working. It does again now! I've changed nothing. Yay black boxes! 🤷🏻

First task of 2024: renew an expired cert. I like that it's calendar-themed.

Spent a few hours the last two evenings fighting with tftpd. Party like it's 1999!

I needed something to help with a morning schedule for two kiddos. It highlights the current 5-minute block as it goes. I think this was my first time reaching for JavaScript for a personal project. https://sidequest.club/stages.html

One of the frustrating parts of using twtxt for conversations is the URLs are, well... ugly. Anyone (like y'all yarn folks) looked at using webfinger for translating user@domain accounts to URLs?

If I have an image that has clearly been naïvely upscaled, is there a program that can reasonably reliably tell me what the "true" size is?

No, I wasn't set up for it. I wasn't expecting to see the ISS at all, and you never know when an orbit will do the fade out thing.

Watching the ISS fade out in the sky as it moves into earth's shadow remains one of the coolest things in the world.

I'll likely take this down soonish as I think it's pretty bad for usability, but as a fun hack, one of my weird side projects web pages now has monitor burn-in: http://txtpunk.com/index.html
