@jlj @vain How are you finding Mojeek? To be honest first time I heard about it.
@vain Re โsearch engine shortcutsโ That is meat! I also like the idea of a simple html page. Simple and easy.
@adi Lupin is such a great story that it is worth for you to give it a go. If you do, let me know what you think.
@darch @vain Thanks for the suggestion on saved.io I didn't know the tool. For the bulk of my bookmarks I use raindrop.io.
@vain Thanks. I could probably make a better job with bookmarks. I use two bookmarks tools. One online for the bulk of things I bookmark for later but I still use the local bookmarks for tools I access all the time like my CI tool, my bug manager, etc. Can you tell me more about external search engine shortcuts?
this is a long post made from Goryon iOs app to test how it will look. Apparently multiple lines posts from the app are not possible ๐ง
@eldersnake So far so good. I haven't got any RAM issue so far. I am trying to keep the number of tabs down. I found that if I start to opening too many tabs it will get very slow.
Today I switched all my working settings like bookmarks, extensions, etc from Chrome to Firefox. Now Firefox will be my main browser. I am happy to do this change. Also I am using DuckDuckGo including the iOS browser as my main browser
@prologic Their convenience still gets me specially the next day / same day delivery.
@thewismit @prologic Not possible (post to twtxt) AFAIK unless you writing some code using the twt API to do it.
Very interesting dilemma on Covid vaccinations in the US.
@prologic I had a read. I don't think I have anything to add. I think they are all good ideas and I will be here whatever name/rebranding is decided.
When are we getting dark mode PDFs?
A quick look at the Table of Content and it seems like a interesting doc to read. I will try to tackle it over the weekend. ๐
BlueSky the team sponsored by Twitter to look into the decentralized social networks had published an ecosystem review and is asking for comments.
Found this library of emojis. Very nice and colorful options. 
@prologic Yes. They profile you and decide what they think you want to see. That is where the problem is, at least for me.
@prologic Yeah I almost felt like that guy was joking. Comparing what they do with an algorithm that sort by date it is a bit of a joke.
SF is about to take off ๐ฌ๐จ
@prologic The mentioned something about algorithms. May be they will charge or display ads with an instance chooses to connect to Twitter algorithms? It will be interesting to see how this develops.
@prologic It definitely goes against their current business model.
@prologic I definitely heard the: "I don't say anything important one." But most ppl are starting to understand the privacy invasion mostly because of the relevant ads that they are seen. I still think that the convenience and the fact that most ppl they know are in the platform will be what will stop most ppl from moving.
@ionores @prologic @adi Most of ppl get it but they don't care that much, which is mind blowing. But I think over time ppl will start moving out of Whatsapp
@adi @ionores yep definitely sounds like mission impossible to convince family and friends go to something like Signal or Session.
@adi @ionores I think Session is decentralized while Signal is still centralized but with a good privacy and encryption.
@adi @ionores I have Session installed too. I think it is a bit buggy on iOS. But it is getting there.
So many ppl coming to Signal that the app stopped working for me. But I do hope that Signal can handle the income of users and become the de facto app for messaging.
Trying to instal Debian on an old Mac and wifi doesn't want to work.๐ก
I found this tool that let's you convert any rss feed to ActivityPub user. You can now follow this account on any platform that supports ActivityPub using [at]twtxt[at]portal.0svc.com. Let's see if works.
@adi no love for Mac user? ๐
@adi I know very little of Go but I like it too.
@adi I don't know Bucharest. I would like to visit one day. I have seem pictures and it looks like it is a beautiful city with nice buildings and large and green avenues. I don't know React but I believe any of the big ones that are popular at the moment you would be able to find companies in SF using it. One can pick a framework that he/she enjoys to work with the most and there will be a demand for it for sure.
@adi I sometimes get tired of the city life. But most of the time I enjoy it. In terms of stacks, I work with iOS development but ppl working on the backend and web usually use either Python, Ruby, Go or Node and React, Vue or Angular. Depends of the company. Where I work is Python/Django with React.
@adi Hey! I like it here. It is nice. Since March we are on lockdown so it's been hard to enjoy the city but it is still a nice city IMO. Where are you?
@prologic oh! cool! it works!!!! what can I do with it?
@prologic cool. You make it sound really simple. Is it just a Linux install where you create accounts that are not root and give the accounts credentials to the users? Or is there more to that?
@prologic yeah I would like to be an alpha tester. ๐ I also would like to learn how to setup something like that myself too.
@prologic that would be super cool. This might be very similar to what the tilde community has own their hosted server (from what I understand). I am thinking this kind of service are great for ppl that don't know or don't have the resources to run their own linux/unix distro but want to learn how the system works. When you did that in the past, who were using it?
@prologic man! this ppl feeding them! I wasn't aware of the problem they cause to farmers. I definitely will look at them differently now.
@prologic That would be interesting. What type of permissions users would have on their shell accounts?
@prologic I bet that beak is super strong and destructive!
@prologic yeah ๐ you are in a different level! ๐
@adi cool I will check out tilde.institute
Anyone here is part of any tilde server / community? How is it like?
@prologic Cockatoos are one of the coolest looking birds!
@prologic Oh yeah, right I cut it down a bit short sorry. But they used ads on TV showing family playing games together instead of being something that parent would buy for their kids. They also changed how they present the games images on their packages, instead of having images of real people playing tennis for example, they had a images of games screenshots. That way they would avoid ppl to buy the game just to find out that doesn't look like the package images. Quite interesting.
I have written a post about the War Stories episode I have watched recently.
@prologic that looks awesome. I bet she had fun! In the end it's what matters!!!!
@ionores Correct. Self-hosted on the Odroid-HC4. Using Portainer to managed the docker images. Miniflux seems to be working. ๐
@prologic (#e3c65ua) yeah it is nice, right? I got it running yesterday. Now I will try Wallabag. The idea is to have both working together so if I spot something on Miniflux that I don't have time to read I will save it to Wallabag to read later. Let see if I can get it to work.
@dooven LOL I have to get back to it. Stopped on Day 2.
planning to use a combination of Wallabag and Miniflux for self-hosted read-later and bookmarking. Anyone using it?
@prologic @lyxal I think once the leaderboard is created we should get a code that we can share here and anyone interested can join.
@prologic Iare you on a leaderboard? Should we create one for twtxt? I have done day 1 and day 2 so far.
@prologic Looking good in the picture mate! Congrats on winning!
@birb hi birb sorry for taking long to reply. The box thing is a Odroid which is a single board computer similar to raspberry Pi. I am setting up a home server with it.
@prologic @adi I am also not very good on CSS. I can understand and make tweaks. But for the jointwt website I used a Hugo theme that you can find here.
Setting up this new toy:\n 
@prologic It is Thanksgiving here in the US. So just getting started on a long weekend. Celebrations will be contained due to the coronavirus and nevertheless it should be fun and relaxing.
@prologic @home_datacenter Nice! Thanks. Yeah I think it will be great to have a compact machine to take care of my storage and servers need.
@prologic yes. season 2 started on October 30th. they are releasing one episode per week
@prologic season two started three weeks ago they are releasing one episode a week. I have been enjoying a great deal!
@ionores you are smart! and with great self control. like a master yedi ๐
Is anyone here watching The Mandalorian on Disney+? ๐ฟ๐ฅ
@prologic Morning traffic is hard. How long is your commute?
@prologic @dooven @lukem I agree with other that Direct Messages are useful. I also think the way to go is some sort of encryption. Does it need to be something the is compatible with twtxt? Compatibility would be cool but I think it would make it harder and I am not sure if would be necessary.
@prologic I had created an account and given the credentials to them but it could well be that they were creating new accounts. I honestly don't think they would go that far. Also from the timestamp the TestFlight app was already approved by that time today.
@prologic oh! interesting! That is not the first time I heard that a common misspelling becomes a thing!
@deadguy I think the advantage of using twtxt.net over your own twtxt.txt is that you get the nice interface that @prologic and others built here and also the nice Goryon app that @dooven have built. If you really want to own your twtxt and still have all these features and the app I suggest you to install the twtxt software (same software that twtxt.net and twt.social pods use) on a machine you control.
Working hard! 
I have been slowly moving my stuff away from big tech to a self-hosted environment. when I read stuff like this I think I should take it more seriously ๐ฑ
@prologic yeah it is a different format. But all the other ideas are very similar. Insances and paid hosting.
