@acdw waiting for an angry british guy to react to my header so they can put the twat in twtxt
someday, toasters will be able to consistently toast each slice of bread the same way, but today is not that day.
I guess Alpine Linux is great for storage. It's designed for mounts!
I have reached 100 subscriptions in my RSS aggregator \\o/
IRC is the citizen band of information superhighway truckers
@niplav that mentions command sounds like basically what twtxt registries are meant for
also, I am logged in on that site as Capt Luc Idiot, since the title field allows any value and suggests 'Capt/Mr/Ms etc'
current status: writing JS in the Pale Moon console to get a single field from 282 maritime accident investigation services listed by the international maritime organization on an ASP.NET website
if gluten is so good why is there no glueleven
Two random questions I thought of while watching TV:
Will the UK be kicked out of Euro Millions?
What are the rules boats are supposed to follow when navigating through flooded areas, in the middle of streets with visible road signs?
I read an estimated 2 to 3 thousand articles from RSS feeds in 2020
Here we go again, deleting over 30 million lines in 6 database tables in production
I *will* read every single of those 4k articles. And if you have an email address I might email you and send you all my comments :D
Feel free to recommend me some RSS feeds too, 4000 unread articles in Tiny Tiny RSS surely isn't enough
Does good documentation on XSLT even exist?
So I went to sleep on saturday at 06:00, woke up at 16:30, and stayed in bed until 01:00. That was a great saturday lol
@hecanjog Yup, I am reading this :p I think I have something similar: if there is an external deadline, then everything else in that domain becomes useless until the deadline is passed. Everything is just procrastinating, even when I cannot do anything about it…
Got started on a personal wiki yesterday, though I'm still unsure Vimwiki fits my needs… Will try some more things tomorrow.
get yourself friends that will bake rss feeds into their static site generators just for you
when will sony and ikea create the dual-shork controller
@vain it seems txtnish keeps on updating the following list first because of your utf-8 redirect, then because the twtxt.txt.utf-8 has "# url = …/twtxt.txt" without ".utf-8". It doesn't cause errors, just shows a message every time I fetch the timeline=
Not to be confused with dictatorship acknowledgement.
I suggest renaming RSS readers to ackdicators: they reply to SYNdication with ACKdication
@deadguy You got my name wrong in your twtxt, I'm lucidiot, not lucididiot :p (you got the meaning right though)
Currently eating breakfast at 2am. It's pretty impressive how easily I can jetlag without moving anywhere.
Just finished writing a draft article about twtxt for my french blog. Will post in a few days to space out my posting…
I went through 4000 XML files found on tilde.town to look for RSS feeds today…
Society has evolved past the need for cubes. We have hypersquares!
So I just learned Canada has a Department of National Defense (DnD) led by a Directorate Minister (DM). Do they roll a d20 to decide the outcome of a war?
I only realized just now that this is a Friday and not a Thursday. My lack of sleep is showing.
Meanwhile, I did a (slightly scary) upgrade of breadpunk.club to Ubuntu 20.04.1
Everytime I mention twtxt to other tilde people, it seems the main criticism is the 140 char limit that no twtxt client actually cares about…
Also I did this whole thing in production because why bother having a dev setup
All that remains is to get rid of PHP and have a static site…
Also removed search, submissions (never had one in 8 years), some admin-only stuff, and added HTCPCP compliance and X-Clacks-Overhead
…and finished the day by sending an email to 31 people at once. That was an interesting evening.
Got wind of the Alpine Linux maintainers considering deleting their own wiki due to lack of maintenance. Did some curl and used MediaWiki's Special:Export, and now uploading a XML backup of their entire wiki to archive.org just in case
This piece of software seems to be able to transmit any TV feed on a RPi's PWM port, but I only have a laptop with USB and ExpressCard. https://github.com/F5OEO/rpidatv
I want to broadcast 1seg TV to be able to watch TV using my PSP and its japanese TV tuner (PSP-S310).
Is there a USB or PCMCIA or ExpressCard device that can either transmit 1seg signals, or just provide a PWM output?
A river implies the existence of a rivee
On a better note, the switch to the other server and the Let's Encrypt setup only did a single minute of downtime. Migration successful!
carthage, born 2018-09-08T14:30Z, left us on 2020-10-27T17:59Z. May it rest in peace.
And a missing package… and we're good. The NUC should be ready to be sold to a friend to be better used, since my needs fit on a single CPU core and less than a GB of RAM…
This laptop has a nice startup melody. brrr brrr hnnn hnnn brrr
Everything worked with the exception of php-fpm because I forgot to add it with rc-update. Rebooting again…
Last thing for today: gonna try a reboot. Brace for impact
Oh also the Aspire is 32-bit and came with Vista, I got it for the grandious amount of $nothing and it now runs Alpine.
Is Munin light enough to run on and monitor what is basically a large and power hungry Raspberry Pi?
Got most of the stuff done today, I still have to setup Certbot, ufw, my LAN WebDAV for my Win9x and XP machines, and find a way to get some extremely lightweight monitoring.
Started migrating my home server away from an Intel NUC with an i3, 8GB DDR3, 120GB SSD and 500GB HDD to an Acer Aspire 7220 with a Sempron 3500+, a GeForce 7000M, 768MB DDR2 and a 160GB HDD at 5400rpm.
Currently deleting 31 million rows in a production database. How's your Friday?
It seems all the Bulgarian trains do is catch fire randomly, and derail because the drivers don't follow speed limits. Oh wait in 2019 they also started to hit cars at crossings!
I guess my brain's own General Anxiety is stuck to ON.
Quoting a Bulgarian train accident report: 'Upon entering Dolno Ezerovo Station on 3rd track, the motorman alerts with "General Anxiety" signal and stops at 21:37h.'
Next time we want to spend a full day there, but we need more watts, a better connection, and a way to make carrying the table easier while going uphill…
I just got back from an abandoned building on a hilltop where I listened to Tour de France staff radios and watched them leave the city from afar
We had a camping table, a motorbike battery, goggles, two talkies, an SDR, a $6 antenna from AliExpress, and two ThinkPads.
It was really fun. My friend managed to work remotely even with the spotty connection, and I sent a bunch of emails to friends.
What if we had twtxt, but over DNS TXT records…
The GNU Positioning System
Note that I know absolutely nothing about C or C++, I just take the english words in the middle of code to understand what's going on :D
Spent two whole hours reading C/C++ diffs in vimdiff today to find out that a small bug causes a major flaw in a planned migration at work…
the best thing about crossposting from twtxt to the fediverse: twice the shitposting
check yourself before you oobleck yourself
an operating system that has cheering noises everytime you accomplish something: cheerios
It seems my twtxt→mastodon crossposter does not like antislashes…
It's been 2.5 years now and I still have no idea who pays for my internet and phone bills. It just shows as paid and there has never been anything on my account. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯_
If you want to see the messiest POST request you have ever seen, open your dev tools and hit a button on this form… https://0x0.st/8_rt
The site map on the Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority's website is the Google Maps link to their actual place. Well played. http://www.ecaa.gov.et/
A bugfix description at work: "The exact cause on this issue is undefined, both literally and figuratively." Ahh, JavaScript…
I finally fully got rid of my Google account!
Currently brainstorming some twists on the Pandemic board game, since some friends and I have been playing for a while even before the actual pandemic…
Quote of the day: 'Machine learning rarely creates bagels'
Currently trying to post while my work laptop is swapping like crazy due to a big database restore, Vim is lagging!
I spent the whole day playing with PostgreSQL and PostGIS and I had a lot of fun, this is probably my favorite thing to do at work.
happy february 179th to y'all
wholesome moment of the day: an email from an adorable person i used to work with, wishing me a happy birthday.
today is my 22nd age increment day!
The goal is not just to have a file anyone can import in a RSS reader: I want to parse it and build the HTML and all the custom feeds using it. Might add Gopher and Gemini support as well later…
I got started on writing a huge OPML file by hand, describing each of the 24 official feeds and 31 custom feeds of #itsb. Got to 330 lines, taking a break…
