I’ll try to implement the new hashing stuff in jenny before the “deadline”. But I don’t think you’ll see any texudus development from me in the near future. ☹️

To this:
Why.
Red for “activated” and dark gray for “deactivated” was easy to recognize.
Now we have light gray for “activated” and dark gray for “deactivated”. It’s clearly worse.
Why, why, why.

tar is from the late 1970ies), while trying to retain backwards-compatibilty, I’m not surprised that the UI isn’t too great. 🤔 find has quite a few pitfalls, that is very true. At work, we don’t even use it anymore in more complex scenarios but write Python scripts instead. find can be fast and efficient, but fewer and fewer people lack the knowledge to use it … The same goes for Shell scripting in general, actually.

What I love about HTML and HTTP is that it *can* degrade rather gracefully on old browsers.
My website isn’t *spectacular* but I don’t think it looks *horrible*, either. And it’s still usable just fine all the way down to WfW 3.11:
* Some blog post in various browsers
* Git repo viewer (stagit)
* Older photos of WfW 3.11
It’s not *perfect*, but it’s *usable*. And that makes me happy. Almost 30 years of compatibilty.
The biggest sacrifice is probably that I don’t enforce TLS and that HTTP 1.0 has no
Host: header, so no vhosts (or rather, everything must come from the default vhost). (Yes, some old browsers send Host:, even though they predate HTTP 1.1. Netscape does, but not IBM WebExplorer, for example.)(On the other hand, it might completely suck on modern mobile devices. Dunno, I barely use those. 🤪)*

> You need break the routine.
I haven’t really done that lately. 🤔 Maybe have another go at Rust (given its increasing importance in the Linux kernel)? Or Elixir, yes, I only had some very, very brief contact with it. 🤔
I just came across an old forum posting of mine about Prolog. That brought up some memories. Prolog is pretty alien, but I do miss stuff like that *because* it’s so different.
Just thinking out loud here. 😅

And yes, using the same timestamp twice will very likely break threads.

I made some preliminary adjustments to my client so that it can work with the different threading model. (And I totally get the concerns, this can be quite a bit of work. Especially in a large code base like Yarn.)

I’ve never found microblogging like twtxt or the Fediverse or any other “modern” social media to be truly fulfilling/satisfying.
The reason is that it is focused so much on *people*. You follow this or that person, everybody spends time making a nice profile page, the posts are all very “ego-centric”. Seriously, it feels like everybody is on an ego-trip all the time (this is much worse on the Fediverse, not so much here on twtxt).
I miss the days of *topic-based* forums/groups. A Linux forum here, a forum about programming there, another one about a certain game. Stuff like that. That was really great – and it didn’t even suffer from the need to federate.
Sadly, most of these forums are dead now. Especially the nerds spend a lot of time on the Fediverse now and have abandoned forums almost completely.
On Mastodon, you can follow hashtags, which somewhat emulates a topic-based experience. But it’s not that great and the protocol isn’t meant to be used that way (just read the snac2 docs on this issue). And the concept of “likes” has eliminated lots of the actual user interaction. ☹️

3rvya6q and *your* feed, but your feed certainly does not include that particular twt (it comes from *my* feed).But my proposal probably isn’t very helpful, either. We have this flat conversation model, so … this twt right here, what should it refer to? Your twt? My root twt? I don’t know.
@prologic Don’t include this just yet. I need to think about this some more (or drop the idea).

if clauses to this. My point is: Every time I see a hash, I’d like to have a hint as to where to find the corresponding twt.

Instead of
(#123467) hello foo bar
you would have
(#123467 http://foo.com/tw.txt) hello foo bar
or maybe even:
(#123467 2025-04-30T12:30:31Z http://foo.com/tw.txt) hello foo bar
This would greatly help in reconstructing broken threads, since hashes are obviously unfortunately one-way tickets. The URL/timestamp would *not* be used for threading, just for discovery of feeds that you don’t already follow.
I don’t insist on including the timestamp, but having *some idea* which feed we’re talking about would help a lot.

It usually doesn’t end well, because the contrast is just not as good. There’s a reason that things like professional DAWs or CAD software use a dark theme.
With a heavy bold font, it’s much better:

My font doesn’t get any bolder than this, though. I’d have to make a new variant of it. Mhh. 🤔
