@prologic If you're not going to implement notifications, how about a daily email log of activity from those that we follow?
@ionores so cool! I would love to be able to see that in person.
@xuu @jlj Aha! Now I understand :D ty.
@jlj I'm not sure I'm qualified to be tagged in anything to do with the technical descriptions of this project. For example, what the heck is this? "fl^H^Hspin?"
@prologic @xuu @jlj @xjix can confirm. am still alive! 😁
@prologic found a passionate go-lang dev on Mastodon. It may be worth getting in touch with him. https://mastodon.social/@fribbledom
@lyse Nice, I learn something every day. Thanks!
@lyse Interesting! Thank you for that. If I set the arrow bullet point using CSS like you did, won't that set all h2 tags to have that arrow? Also, if so, I could get around that by using inline CSS on that single page but I don't think I want to do that either. Right?
@lyse because I ripped off the HTML from elsewhere. Is there a better way? :D
@jlj glad you like it. now I need to somehow keep the motivation to blog lol!
@darch thanks much! my 13 yr old is responsible for the colors :D
@lyse thanks Lyse :) I used a table data field with   in it, to space out the blog roll a bit https://thewismit.com/ also, thanks for catching the publish font size difference!
Critiques please :) https://thewismit.com and https://psynergy.io\n\nI'm looking for feedback on the blog design and if you're kind enough to read about my Mastodon instance (it's a bit to read) your thoughts on the approach and feasibility of what I'm trying to do with it.
Wow! lots of activity on the repo today @prologic. Hey, can you point me in the right direction, to learn how to cross-post from my blog to here on twtxt? :D
@prologic Start here sir https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/prerequisites/
@prologic it's really not bad. I only had to start over once. But this is me we're talking about so I'm sure you would've nailed it the first time.
@jlj @prologic wait the poop shows up on the mobile client but not on my browser? What is this world coming to?
@thewismit @prologic @jlj aww, dangit! how do you do the emojis? :(
@jlj Howdy :poop: <-- I wonder if I did that right lol!\nRSSHub eh? I'll check it out, always up for a new toy! I've been busy setting up my Mastodon instance. Finally done https://psynergy.io - come kick the tires and let's steal neat feature ideas for @prologic!
Hey @prologic :) I just now pulled the updated docker image. The env variable is set to - THEME=light in docker compose file. I deleted and recreated the container, and it's still dark. Any questions?
What's shakin' peeps? Been a couple of days since I checked in.
@lyse I don't feel so bad, thank you!
@prologic One has to be willing to laugh at their shortcomings and disadvantages. It's the only way to be healthy and get shit done at the same time!
@prologic oof I forgot about that. Glad you have a sense of humor! As for me - I'm just an idiot, randomly throughout the day.
@xuu @prologic @jlj what am I looking at ? :D
@prologic @jlj should I just pull an updated docker image?
So @prologic fixed the default theme setting and now I'm blind. TY!
@prologic @xuu @jlj not at all :)
@prologic get some rest if you can. Hope you feel better soon!
@hxii nice!
@hxii oh stop being so symantec. ;)
@thewismit @prologic oh! it's not just the mobile client. :(
@thewismit @prologic actually, it's the mobile client not displaying links properly. I have to stop using it. It needs updates :(
The WhatsApp Scare and Signal, Part 2 - https://helpdeskheadesk.net/help-desk-head-desk/2021-02-02/
err... @prologic what the heck just happened with that?

We're all one of today's lucky "Ten Thousand" at some point, and likely will be many more times in the future.\n\nEach of us take turns filling up on things that "most" people seem to know, for I have yet to meet one who knows all those "most people" things! (non-overlapping subsets etc etc).\n\nBe kind to today's lucky Ten Thousand! ♥️\n\n
@prologic if you can point me at what I need to learn that would be nice :)
@prologic do you know how I can cross-post from Mastodon to twtxt?
Have my about page up on my hugo site. https://thewismit.com/about\n\nNext I need to learn how to trigger a build when I push to the Github repo.
@prologic @antonio @eldersnake did I just enter a conversation without having to follow @eldersnake? :D
@jlj @prologic don't worry, I like you guys and want the best for twt.social! I will feedback anything that I think will be useful. I do think there are features that need to be added here to make interacting with you guys easier and I've let you know :)
I found a mastodon blog post from 2018 that the server's local feed will contain more pertinent info based on the community. But I've not been very active up until this point.\n\nAnyone else use Mastodon?
Can someone that knows more about the "Fediverse" tell me if I should keep my accounts on both mastodon.social and fosstodon.org or if I should only have one?\n\nWill I be able to find people easily on federated servers?
fit = git=
maybe push to the fit repo on github and something about a hook to pull the updates to my server copy? Not sure I understand all of what I'm reading though.
On another tangent, I'd also like to know if there's a way to write posts in markdown on my workstation or Android and easily have them published to hugo\n\nRight now I only know to write them on the server and rebuild the static site.
@prologic or, post to twtxt and publish a post to hugo. Not sure what's possible.
@prologic Yes :)
@prologic thanks. Not sure I like having to follow every person just to feed my curiosity.
Starting dorking around with Hugo today. Now I want to figure out if I can post to both places at once cause I'm already partial to the blinky, blink. \n\nhttps://thewismit.com/posts/hello-world/
@darch @adi @prologic why can't I see this conversation? I follow all three of you. :(
@psibr probably 2nd degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
@psibr my Monday was so good, I walked away from my desk at 2pm and took a nap.\n\nIt was either that or quit.

@prologic yep
@prologic Been thinking about portability and am wondering how I'm going to start using the blog feature and also ensure that I can pick up that feed and move it somewhere else if needed.\n\nThoughts?
@stephanie, here's the link to the HTML/CSS issue we were talking about yesterday. Let me know if you need help with anything. https://github.com/jointwt/twtxt/issues/374
@adi I'm not sure what kind of feedback I can provide you but I do have a question.\n\nIs there a way to run the process that generates the static site in a way that altering files will cause a static build update?
@prologic Agreed!
@slashdot @kt84 @iggi @kshumake @prologic I'm glad someone pointed that out. I was about to hop into a boiling tub of water because someone told me the bubbles would feel good!
@dennis Welcome and thank you :)
@jlj @jack @adi @prologic I've had the browser tab open for about a week now, looking for time to try it out.
@jack I've done the same thing! Also I'm digging your Hugo theme. Is it custom?
@prologic @ionores I guess society should take more responsibility for teaching their children what's right from wrong, instead of letting corporate terms of service and the bans that come with breaking them do it for them.\n\nThe collective result would be surprisingly effective, in my opinion!
@jlj Nice post. Thought provoking. @psibrone, you two should talk.
@prologic I'm happy to help with administrative stuff, maybe even scripting. But coding, I don't know :(
@prologic oh wait. I'd have to know go right? Or you just want it logged?
@prologic I can't do it from the android app. Will have to try later.
@jlj @psibr I'm hungry.
@hxii and your domain name: is that meant to be read as "eight", "eight, ones" or "one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one". I could go on but... Lol
@pbatch @niplav that.
@pbatch @niplav not sure about
@pbatch @niplav I'm
@stephanie It's you, me and Todd Henrichs @psibrone on this pod so far. That means you'll see our activity in the discover feed but you'll need to follow other people that you see us communicate with, in order to see the conversations.\n\nquestions and feedback always welcome!
Everyone, my sister-in-law @stephanie has joined the pod! She'll be a good test subj... Uhh pilot user!
@stephanie Pedro!
@prologic @adi @darch agree! 💯
@darch @hxii @adi ooooh. I like this. What's that red swirly pic for down at the bottom next to the webring icon?
@jlj @psibr ugh. regex sucks I hate it!
@psibr Seriously, this work week has been annoying.
@prologic I'm monitoring my twt feed from the browser, during work. It might be able to collapse all of this to optimize focus. If you like that idea, I'll suggest compressing the actual twt box too.\n\n
@jlj @prologic @ionores OK @jlj you have half a heart. I'm just teasing you all!
@jlj @ionores @prologic You're all heartless! :(
@prologic @adi @darch I think having long form blog posts can drive discussion in the twts. Especially if you can reply to the blog posts using a twt.
The Linux Upskill Challenge starts again on Monday. I will be participating! \n\nhttps://reddit.com/linuxupskillchallenge
@prologic @hxii $hit or get off the pot!
@thewismit apparently it does. sudo sync & sudo sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3\nhttps://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man1/sync.1.html\nhttps://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man3/sysctl.3freebsd.html
@thewismit apparently it does. sudo sync & sudo sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3\nhttps://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/sync.8.html\nhttps://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man3/sysctl.3freebsd.html
Does Ubuntu have a utility for reclaiming RAM that's no longer in use?
@hxii Windows Terminal v1.5.10271.0 :D
@prologic @jlj (#elyeu7a) I like them both, it just depends on what mood I'm in. Now, if you want to talk Imperial, then I really get excited! I'm a big 40K fan and I kind of side with the empire in Star Wars but they're a bit too weak-handed for my tastes. Stormtroopers /smh
@prologic @jlj Yes to the automation part but that was actually easy once Lyse told me about cron ENV variables. Also yaas! to the inter-pod discussion! ;)
@prologic ooh, hearts and drafts. Thanks for the new image
@jlj oh! Look what I found!\n\n>Initiate a new Restic backup repository to your Rclone location:\nrestic -r rclone:remote:TGServBackup init\n\n>…where “remote” is the name of the Rclone remote, and TGServBackup is the name of the OneDrive folder I want to use.\n\nhttps://timothygruber.com/backup-and-restore/back-up-linux-vps-to-onedrive-via-restic-and-rclone/
@jlj the encryption is a big part of why I wish I had gotten restic to work.
@prologic @jlj the short form that's on youtube is a good teaser video that can be used to drive traffic to twt.social.\n\nThe long form should be made available at the twt.social site.
@prologic this video is a great into for people that want to know the what and why of twt.social. I think your front page and probably the front pages of the pods need to see/hear this in some format.\n\nPeople are going to want to see the humanity behind this project. Most of us are sick of the faceless and soul-less companies running our social media platforms.\n\nI'd like to share this video with my family when you're comfortable with that.
@jlj I use Goryon but I've not seen this issue. Try wiping app cache and re-log in.\n\nAlso what reverse proxy are you using? Ever since @xuu convinced me to switch to Caddy, my proxy woes have gone away.
@jlj @prologic I see that I can twt somehow in reply to that blog post?
