@prologic I don’t think you understood what I wrote. 😅
Intranets have been around since Jesus times (well, not quite 😂, but you get the idea). They are fun to play with, but that's about it. I mean, the "fun" of the Internet comes from its variety.
@thecanine I am not arguing you didn't do *the right thing™*, and even if the impact is minimal, or nothing, you did what you thought was right (and I agree). I don't agree with certain rules the EU wants to impose, not in this particular case. There are rotten potatoes everywhere, and I don't get fooled by the EU often sacrosanct behaviour.

But who am I to say anything, right? Look at the grotesque clown utterly shit show we live with on this side!*
@thecanine alright, a canned reply. Better than nothing! (or equal to nothing, LOL).
@movq I am betting he will not. The letter was not focused, nor used, politician's "lingo". If it was sent via email then it will be even easier to dismiss. I wish I was not such a cynic! 😩
@prologic is iMessages iCloud synchronization disabled? Applications might stop working, and functionality rendered worthless the more you block.
@movq how do you set your clock to use a specific time signal radio station? I have one wall clock in my office, it works great, but no way to set that.
@prologic I wouldn't know where to look for little cockroaches, or roaches, in general! LOL. We buy seeds to feed them. But not around the neighborhood, otherwise we would have a problem. 😅
@prologic something happened on this one’s neck, right? Or was it a blow of wind that ruffled the feathers?
Now I feel the urge to go around looking for one of “my own” to share. 😅 I love crows, ravens, magpies, all of them in the corvidae family.
@prologic woohoo! Take that, micro.crap! :-D
@movq exactly! 🤣
That Manton guy is so incredible dull, not even funny: https://www.manton.org/2025/10/03/apparently-there-was-some-drama.html
They look the same to the naked eye. Of course, I checked your raw feed, and saw only one.
@itsericwoodward hmmm, what was this, an edit, a deletion?

@movq can't you use generic drivers? I did that for an enterprise copier/printer/scanner we used to have at work, and it worked just fine!
Of course, all things optional is fine. Like, it will be ignored (just like banner would) for clients having no knowledge of it.
@zvava agreed. I think display_name will be redundant, and add to the "busy" factor. That is, the opposite of simplicity.
@thecanine content warning please! I had to go home and change, if you catch my drift. LOL. Well done!
@aelaraji, I mean to follow up here on the brief exchange we had on irc.mills.io, but I forgot. Never too late, so here it goes:


18:16 <aelaraji> quark 🙏 much appreciated but it won't be necessary, since there isn't much to miss out on in most of  where I hang out, so I could just disconnect and spare everyone else the noise 
18:17 *** aelaraji (aelaraji@776014f5a3edd32f1ed19658b7b85c8c655945b0feacaedd92fe60e61a3c0ae2) has quit (/ME goes "yeeeeet..!")
18:18 <quark> No noise for me. 
18:18 <quark> It’s all good. 
18:18 <quark> What would IRC be without on/offs?
18:19 <quark> Preeeety boring!
18:19 <quark> Ah, he was gone. 
18:19 <quark> Well, I will twtxt this to him.  LOL. 
@zvava the second format (the one you think should be changed to), is it backwards compatible to what's currently in place? I believe the first one would be.
@alexonit so, a PWA, right?
Wouldn’t a deleted post not show on the list, and if referred from elsewhere render a 404?
@prologic ready, set, goooooooo!
@prologic it is looking good! On mobile, I find that the line height is too large for my liking, and that text takes too much space. I would like it a bit more dense. But that’s just my taste.

I haven’t checked in desktop; I try not to touch desktop on weekends. 😂
@lyse very nice! What's the intended usage?
@prologic well, multiculturalism, immigration, and race (to mention a few, there is more) are key points on conservative's agendas. That's why I asked what you thought of it. You haven't replied yet. Of course, no answer is an answer, right?
@prologic growing up in a multicultural country has nothing to do with what you think about it, does it?
@prologic this is 90 degrees fork. Now that you mention being conservative socialist (first I heard of the term, had to read some to grasp what's all about), what do think about immigration and multiculturalism?
@prologic how dare you! (read it with Greta emphasis, and accent)
I meant, "jlj". He used to be at https://twt.nfld.uk/, long gone now too. I wonder...
@prologic you doing this reminded me of mkws, and Adi. Good times, we have seeing so many people come and go. It is kind of sad, when I think about "jjl", and Phil, and the many others...

I am feeling "mushy" today. Ugh, ageing sucks.
@prologic yup, that's what I meant. The lack of it on the URL is fine, but on the post itself it is always a good idea. Time frames matter.
Test.

@prologic I can't upload a screenshot (tried, but Yarnd simple "ate" my reply). See https://zsblog.mills.io/posts/hello-zs-blog.html. Is has no date/time on it.
@movq LOL. I wish and hope they keep proposing it until the proposers die of natural causes, and then it vanishes. Hopeful thinking, I know...
@prologic need to work on the CSS. For example, the tags are too big, the code blocks (and the inline ones) are too small, the single posts have no date (intended?), and so on. It's an alpha start!
@prologic considering other alternatives we have seeing (of which I have lost track already), yes. Why don’t you guys (client makers) take a step at a time and, for now, increase the hash length to deal with the collisions. Then location-based addressing can be added… or not, you know. 😅
Looking forward to see how it evolves! And happy to see you leaving behind micro. Good riddance! LOL.
@prologic that's not too bad! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@alexonit that sounds pretty much like Italy! LOL. We pay $48 on renewal in Florida, US, but that fee isn't Federal, so other states may pay more, or less.
@itsericwoodward pretty cool! Started following you, not to miss any progress. Thanks for the exhaustive reply!
@lyse that's pretty cool! The first video I see on YouTube of that kind. Thanks!
@movq better than in the US. Our lasts only 10 years, and you need to go through the vision test, and, of course, pay). Recently they added a little gold star denoting “real ID” compliance, and we had to pay $10 to get the old one replaced—out of the regular renew “schedule”.

In here it is all about control, and money.
@lyse is it a 360 degree video online, or a local one?
@aelaraji welcome back dude! Long time no see!
@lyse 🍿🍿🍿😅
@itsericwoodward any news about this? I am, at the very least, curious!
@prologic I know you were away, but were you under a rock?! 😅
@kiwu awwww! 😢
@prologic welcome back! 🥳🥳🥳
I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) a truly happy and enjoyable weekend!
@prologic ah! Well, keeping fingers crossed for you and family on that RV, for sure! 🤞🏻
@prologic ah, I was wondering! Hoping you are having a good time, mate! Christening the new RV? :-)
I know it doesn’t need to be said, but “Texudus” is not twtxt. It is an attempt to create a, arguably, “better way™️”. 🤭
@zvava ah, yes, that’s the only Texudus feed. It also seems it is a one way only feed.
@zvava which Texodus feed? That I know of, there is only one, or am I wrong?
For what I can gather, kind of a waste of time, not a good solution. I might be missing bits, or may haven't grasp the entire "story".
@kat, see this one, regarding "Anubis" (which I believe you use, right?): https://github.com/eternal-flame-AD/pow-buster
@rrraksamam someone has a huge crush on Emily Blunt, eh? 🤭
Wanting to add, this isn't a twtxt client. It is Yarnd on steroids! 😂
@thecanine it should work everywhere. It is a web application.
Hmm, twtxt Yarn is misbehaving. Can't even edit, nor delete. Oh well.
On the configuration topic, the example at the repo reads like this:

Hmm, not experiencing that. Using Zen (Firefox), under Linux, with uBlock Origin.
@lyse 🙈😂
@zvava that makes it even more so exciting! 😂
@zvava oh?! I shall play more “seriously” with it soon then. Yay!
@prologic excellent, mate, that’s what we like to read! Enjoy the weekend!
@thecanine super well done! I especially love that tail. I can almost see it moving!
@kat hey, hey, good afternoon, happy Friday! Fandom site tag pages count. Word!
@kat nope, not normal. Something birdy (because why to use fishy all the time?!) is going on.
@lyse that's an amazing way to teach, and one many old school (I remember my father telling me "schools need to teach both theoretical and practical skills!") people will agree with. The fact that graduates need to learn on the job after they graduate exemplifies the importance of hands on.
Woot, thank you! Using a config.json like this:


n
{
  "host": "localhost:31212",
  "protocols": ["http"]
}


Indeed did the trick! I know it isn't production ready, but I wanted to see with my own eyes, locally, how did it look. :-) I like where you are going! It is looking very nice, and polished. Can't wait for an alpha, beta, and release!
@zvava it is amazing how much you have accomplished in such a short time. Take time to sleep, though! :-)
Old, but as relevant as ever today.

@zvava I am getting [2025/09/11 12:56:01.816] ⇒ please set config.host when trying to run "bbycll". How to bypass that tiny hurdle?
@zvava I gave this, in my mind, a like/star/love.
Yes, I know, this is a "bad taste" joke. I appreciate you, @thecanine!
@thecanine or, you know, you could get an iPhone. 😂😂😂
The image needs to be an absolute URL, and some tags are missing. Almost there!
@kat it is not showing for me, on a validator. Missing something?
@kat all @prologic has to do is to allow <details> and the subset under it. Granted, it could be implemented on the formatting toolbar too...
Something like this, for example.
@lyse a content warning is a way to tell the audience the content they are about to see is (or might be) shocking, or unsuitable, or unlikable. The audience can then chose to see it, or not. You know, akin of movies stating:

> "Warning: The following film contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised."
@zvava wow, this is a full change, and looking very, very, very good! I am ready to test it. 🙈
@movq woot! 🙏🏻
They don’t want to miss anything you might write. And got to know it instantly! 😅
Listen missy, don’t you disappear on us like that again, do you hear me?! 😂 Welcome back, kat! I was wondering where you were, but figured something more interesting was keeping you busy. 🙈
@lyse wouldn’t the PDF version be better? https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.pdf
@zvava 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 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 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!
Hmm: gopher://uninformativ.de/0/phlog/2025/2025-08/2025-08-18--permacomputing.txt

That's fairly recent, but fully justified. I give up! :-D
I should have checked the CHANGELOG first. LOL.
@itsericwoodward, hi there! Welcome to the twtverse! It seems you have a typo on your site address, an extra "c".
@movq 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-
@movq 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
Haha, fun! I browsed your gopher hole a little bit. I noticed some entries are fully justified (formatting), while others are not. I didn't notice a pattern, though it makes sense not to use justification on entries with code. Yet, some prose entries are, and some are not. A mystery. :-)
@movq that works! Reading! :-)
