@prologic I believe it is this: https://github.com/duriny/twtr
@prologic I am not looking for anything running on a server, but only on desktop. The programs I listed are desktop applications.
@prologic I thought that was what that 99-yarn.css was for, is it not? Either way, I checked in mobile, and it is fine, so the only change would have on the @media for 1200. I will let @ullarah do it, just in case.
@lyse I am always after something more powerful. Logseq, for example, allows instant linking of existing files or the creation of one by simply creating a link to it ala many wiki engines. That is [[something here]] will link to that file, or allow the creation of one of it doesn’t exist. Also opening files will tell me what other files link to the open one, and many other niceties.
I have been using Logseq since end of last year, to keep tab on things I do, or things I need to do, and have slowly starting to port some of my Markdown documentation to it. I am still using Typora for my technical documentation, but Logseq, together with Obsidian have been more and more within my near usage horizon.

Other than org-mode for emacs, and vim, what do you all use for note taking/mind-flow? I am always looking for new, powerful, good UI/UX looking, resilient---that is, that use plain text to save your information---tools.
@lyse not a sailor, but the yacht's resistance to crash you mentioned caught my attention, so I watched the German video. Very strong yacht! And it makes sense they are made (well, I want to believe they still are made that way) that strong, because unlike automobiles, that need to crush to save your life, yachts need to endure for the same reason.

Incidentally, amazing how one can drift through the series of tubes, from one thing to the other, and find all sorts of interesting stuff, eh?

@jlj pretty cool, a touch of good luck, eh? How is Thunderbird these days? Any major, exciting changes? You are the only person I know using it. These days I mostly handle my email on mobile, using the default Mail app. If I need to interact via email whilst on the desktop, I mostly use the browser or, for longer emails, the default OS app as well.
Opened 677 for this. The change on line height when multiple inline code are present is subtle, but visible to the naked eye.
Wow, that video was amazing, @lyse, thank you for sharing! Leave it to huge China to come up with huge things. That was a spectacle to see! Can you imagine how will it look if one could be airborne right there, at the same time the show is going? 😍
This on a local church wall. I wonder what kind of trash awaits for the poor fools of 2093.
Time capsule
@lohn I see, so, pretty much what I am doing with my WireGuard server, I run a local Unbound, and manage entries on it, and all my clients uses it, so everyone is resolvable. I am not concerned about anonymity, so not an issue with Yggdrasil. About Lokinet, I just took a look and they lost me at their ONS records, and the OXEN cryptocurrency. Absolutely a hard pass on anything with crypto rubbish.
@prologic right, but think about this. What if doctors (or even more critical, surgeons) made as many mistakes as programmers do? Would you still reply "because they are human"?
@eaplmx the story of our lives, indeed, and the reason Mondays are dreaded almost everywhere, but for those who work on weekends. Going back to the drill after having fun is never---well, maybe I should say seldom instead of never---welcomed.
@ullarah ah, I see, and understand now. It is so odd how we tend to pick not the sharpest tool in the shed for the job as the head of a nation, eh? 🤦🏻‍♂️
@ullarah, see the spacing on lines on this twt I am forking. It happens because there are multiple code on each line. I recommend we tune the padding on code and, probably, kbd to this:


code, kbd {
    display: inline-block;
    padding: .2rem .3rem;
}


Which file are you using to overwrite what's on 01-pico.css?
Interesante, @eaplmx, gracias por aclarar. Pues claro, no todo es trabajo, hay que dejar espacio para el disfrute. Vamos, a veces el trabajo es disfrute también, pero te entiendo. Yo trabajo en IT. A veces deseo dejar la tecnología detrás---y eso es casi imposible, porque también la disfruto!---y dedicarme a criar ganado, ó trabajar la tierra. Algo nuevo, diferente, fresco, más... real. 😊
I have been reading about the Yggdrasil Network because it was on Hacker News front page again. The one I think I don't understand, or haven't found information about, is how does it handles DNS. All their listed internal services use IPv6 addresses which, unless listed as they are listing them, nobody would remember.

So, is DNS not part of the equation and left to be handled separately, at user's discretion? You will think that some solution would have been provided for it, right? Like using Unbound, or coreDNS, or similar.

@prologic so, that means you are all setup with email? LOL. Look at it this way: there are more people using twtxt.txt today than those using the delta.chat application. Heck, it is faster, and instant, and lighter to simply use IRC. But I get it, we all like to tinker. Have fun, I *think*? 🤔😂
@prologic wait until @ullarah has had the chance to work on 665, so it will be an "aligned" release! 😊 I could do it, but maybe there is a better approach to accomplish the same result.
@prologic I guess it is the same as my https://irc.netbros.com/. IRC itself is a protocol. I mean, things like that are common this days.
@jlj pretty interesting. It isn't everyday when you see a true new distro. "Competition" is only good, specially for the users, right? I will keep an eye on this one.
@prologic running latest on mine right now. I also added the moving_average_feed_refresh feature, as I was not using it. Loving having my old/new inline image preference back!
@prologic I was referring to the guy on the video (assuming he goes by Friendly Jordies and looks like the feed avatar). I was using the same term I use for all the streamers my kids follow on Youtube, but not because I believe they are. It is the same as the "*What'z up, mothafuckah?!*" 😂
@ullarah hahahaha, pretty good! I can spot and name each single one of them (main, or mostly main characters), all visible on first one: Jerry, George, Elaine, Newman, and Kramer. I wonder what doesn't Lego do!
@prologic in cases like this, and for people like me who will never sit to see an idiot (and I say this cordially, without real meaning) on a video, it would be nice to get a blurb on what the video is about, and why do yo think it is so good. You know, like a little enticement to perhaps make me see the video?

My mum---well, mum-in-law---tell me the same, "so good!" each time she eats cow brain and, trust me, I ain't trying it. 🤣
@lyse oh yeah, like $25,000 to $30,000 expensive in our case. For people with bigger houses, even more. Luckily the insurance covers that.
@prologic yeah. I interact with Reddit as a read only participant via an app (Apollo app, iOS), so I don't worry much about their privacy issues. My dislike for Medium is stronger.
@eaplmx but you linked a Medium page on your ideas post: "Our obsession with productivity is ruining our lives". Y aún no entiendo bien lo que quieres expresar con este escrito de blog, "My take for the Hobbyist Net in 2022". ¿Me puedes dar un sumario pequeño?
I am wrong about this. I don't know where the issue is, but it isn't the --typography-spacing-vertical.
@prologic maybe I am reading too much into this, but I think @anth meant to say http:// and ftp:// made him happy (that is http:// and ftp://). It is just the way he wrote it that broke the parser.
As we are all speaking here on possibilities, I have zero interest in it. It reminds me of Yarn trying to be a blog engine, and an email server, and an instant messenger. Truly not interested. My $0.25. 😊
@prologic LOL. I am the King of broken English!
Thought it could be somewhere else, as I don't see that being changed as of late. Very puzzling.
@eaplmx I don't get it... much. I dislike Medium, so links to it never get visited here. What exactly are you trying to say? Puedes escribirme en castellano si quieres.
Pinging @ullarah and @prologic (because, why not?) for awareness, and thinking on a correction.
It is the --typography-spacing-vertical: 1.5rem; under :root the root (not pun intended) cause.
Latest master (commit 1bed0c7) adds an extra space (line an empty line) at the bottom of all twts.
Latest master (commit 1bed0c7) adds an extra space (like an empty line) at the bottom of all twts.
@movq woah, that’s another level altogether! So lovely to see—assuming they aren’t artificially edited images, but the real deal. It is sad that I take everything I see on the tubes these days with a grain of salt.
@prologic really? What kind of English do you guys use Down Under? 🤣
I guess I can test doing it and see what happens, but thought of asking first.
@prologic, if I go to the data directory, and manually edit a feed to add entries to it, will those entries be reflected in Yarn?
@darch it is just an expression. It doesn’t mean he thinks you are worried. 🤣
Hmm, figures, this one worked. Oh well, another weird thing to add to my list.
Testing something. I entered a period after @prologic above—and before the emoji—and it got stripped twice. It never showed after post. So, testing here too, @prologic. 🧪
At some point—don’t know when—I lost a lot of my precious cache. I used to see over 50,000 twts on discover, and around 20,000 on timeline. Now I see a shadow of what used to be. I have no one else to blame but @prologic 😡😂
Tried Dochi’s mochi donuts for the first time, and I am hooked. So incredibly tasty! Specially when you eat them after some Korean bb.q Chicken. Oh la la!
@prologic have you seeing how it looks on mobile?
@prologic black magic! Voodoo stuff. Call upon Obia, mon. 😂 On a more serious note, what in the world?
@darch I don't associate "simple", and "easy", with PHP, considering I do not use it. But I get what you are saying. Parsing a text file is a simple thing, and to get what you are doing there is no need for PHP. Based on what you explained as your focus, you are trying to come up with a single user, poor-man version of Yarnd. ☺️
@anth could you elaborate? Also, there is some parsing problem on this one, @xuu and @prologic.
Also noticing too much space at the top and bottom of the image. At least whilst on mobile, on uploaded images.
For the LOLz (don’t mind me, I just can’t sleep, and I am having too much fun):
From IRC
This was kind of half-arsely implemented, don’t you agree? 🤣
@prologic there is no clicking on it for original. The link to the low resolution image I see on my pod is the same @movq gets on jenny. Only those browsing on your pod will get the “zoom” to a higher resolution one.
@prologic what do you mean you are not aware of any zooming? You tap on the images on you pod, and they zoom to a bigger image using JS. That’s to which I am referring.

I want to fully disable that. I don’t want to use it. So, what do I need to do, so that “feature” doesn’t “activate”?
@prologic that one looks the same. When would images have the zoom, and not? What’s the qualifier? I want to make sure any I post will never have the zoom.
@prologic you will have to trust me on this one. Your twt’s images look fuzzy on my pod. They are low resolution versions of the original.
@eaplmx the reasons are all but the same. There is no difference.
@prologic, low quality images. I mean, go to my pod and you will know what I am taking about.
@prologic hmm, off topic. Images do not look the same on my pod, as they do on yours. The zooming is clunky too. I am not really liking whatever change is causing this.
@prologic it is one of the premises of Yarn.social: decentralisation. Also, because I want control, I like to tinker, I want to use my own domain, I want to be able to make my own customisations, I trust my own, and not someone else’s, etc., etc., etc. ☺️
@prologic he said not to push it! You, trigger happy you! 😜
@prologic I have seeing something similar, randomly (and very sporadically), yes. It is very hard to replicate, I haven’t been able to.
@prologic yes, it is sad. I feel sorry for people who thinks, and acts, in such backward way. I feel sad, and worry, about their children who are usually indoctrinated to believe the same lies. 😞
@prologic I am still not sure where you stand.

I am not saying graphene dioxide/oxide might not have medical applications. I am saying—and you can research this, there is no need for me to do it—that graphene is not present on any of the COVID-19 vaccines.
@prologic you have it on good authority? Well, that settles it! 😂

Yes, there is no graphene dioxide on any of the COVID-19 vaccines.
There is no graphene dioxide on any of the COVID-19 vaccines.
Ha! It lets me mention myself. How about that, @prologic?
@fastidious hmmm. If I go to my own profile, I see the textarea pre-filled with my own nick. Let’s see what happens with this.
@prologic well, we haven’t moon landed ever since, that part is true. The fist part, there are nuts, conspiracy theorists, everywhere. You know, like getting magnetic because of the COVID vaccine, and such. 😂
@lyse luckily not (fingers crossed)! Last damage we had was in 2004, when we had to replace the roof, and cut down two of our trees (they were snapped like twigs).
@lyse last year there were 7 hurricanes and 22 named storms. A quiet year. We had had years in which we use all alphabet, and star over to almost the end of it again. Fun years! 😅
@lyse I believe that’s a painting, but might be wrong.
African Iris. Taken this morning.
African Iris
@movq 😂😂😂, yes, that’s the point. In hot, steamy Florida, a 23°C is a “blizzard”. We had had -5°C or so in the past, but just in a very rare year, and for a very brief period of time. No snow in Central Florida.
@thecanine thanks. Right, I have looked into it. Didn’t like it neither. Yes, I am way too picky; it is a problem I have been working to overcome for over 30 years. 😅
@darch pixelblog sounds interesting. Can’t un-see the hashes though. We moved away from showing them long ago. It also needs work on mobile, as well as showing a linked conversation, but I understand it is a work in progress. Where are you headed with this?
@movq it is 2022, and we still can't render a pixel font accurately, every single time, on any terminal. Yet, we send crafts to Mars, land in a spot smaller than a regular house, and send data back home. I guess we need another 100 years or so to get terminals right. 😂
@movq neat! We are having a blizzard today, with our 23°C weather. Can't barely feel the sunshine! ☺️
@prologic their client. It is not a native application, it looks like an Android one. It crashed, it misbehaved, it was clunky to use, not smooth. It looks like a fork of Siskin which, of course, is equally bad.
@prologic I would have never even try to run it/install it. It is Qt.
@johanbove which SSB client are you using on desktop? Is it supported, and actively developed?
@johanbove one of my pet peeves about it, yes. It is almost as waiting for a message in a bottle.
@thecanine graduated as a true troll, mate. Plunk.
@lyse oh, I would trade my hurricanes for your bit of snow shovelling, that's for sure! :-)
@thecanine can you login on that web based client, send browser to background, and keep connections? Can you receive notifications when the browser is on background? If the answer is no, then it is worthless. On top of that, if it isn't a pleasant experience on mobile, what's the point? Are we masochists, or something?

Not going to feed the troll on the iOS comment. 😒
@will right, but though it is excellent, thelounge runs on the web browser, and it can't be run in the background---as soon as you switch to another app from the browser you disconnect. It is not viable as a messenger app for that reason.
@jlj oh, I understand you perfectly. I used to play more with all kind of things alike around 10 years ago. I have slowed down with age. I still play around with new things, just are more, hmm, selective? now. 😅
@stigatle thank you sir, and have a good one you too! My first week was slightly harsh. Only one in my group back to work, and medical appointments in the middle (I hate needles!). But glad the weekend approaches, for sure!
@prologic I understand your alpha ordered list points, but most of it---if not all---is irrelevant. The point @movq (and right after, me) made remains valid. The app relies on an IMAP server to work. 😅
@prologic how exciting! ☺️ ¡Gracias, Emmanuel!
I was going to say, I listen to lots of music sang in a language I don't understand. Minor thing, honestly. Nothing like the powah of music!
@movq I don't think @prologic understood Delta.chat's modus operandi (brackets my addition): "Delta.chat doesn’t have their own servers but uses the most massive and diverse open messaging system ever: the existing e-mail [IMAP] server network."
@prologic I love it! Hahahahaha! In a more serious note, I find it less busy, more minimalistic, which is my approach to things.
@prologic the issue is on the persistence. If anyone iMessage me, I will always get it, as long as I have data, of course. But even without data, it persists, and I get it when data becomes available. With any existing iOS IRC client, communication is unreliable. Constant disconnects. IRC was not meant to be used on mobile, for what it seems. I don't blame it, it precedes mobile by a few kilometres.
@prologic I hear you. Supposedly Snikket is trying to make it easy for anyone to run a server (their client sucks). On their docker approach I think they use Prosody, but not sure.
@prologic, let me know if your girls came back home, 10 years or so from now. If they did, beers until you pass out are on me!
