That board is really… something (really can’t explain it with words). Also found interesting that’s a board for a single five-stars user, “Admin”. 😳

if twtxt 2 is dropping gemini support, i will probably move on and spend more time on my gemini social zine protocol instead. i think the direction of the protocol is probably fine, but for me web is a tier 2 publishing channel. if the choice is between gemini and http i'm always going to pick gemini. its been a fun ride, but i guess this is where i get off.
@mckinley dogecoin or nothing. Dogecoin is life! 😅
@mckinley I could have sworn that it resumed even a partial file the other week. But maybe that was because the first attempt used scp when the connection broke. And then rsync detected that only the last part of that file was incomplete and transferred the missing bits. So, lucky by accident. In any case, I will always include -P from now on. :-)
@david Sounds lovely. :-)
We had rain all day long and my mate and I still went for a walk with our umbrellas. It was a bit wet. But now I can send my drying rack over the tub on its maiden voyage. Should have built a second rod for more capacity.

@prologic that "little database that could" is simply amazing, isn't it? I run Conduwuit (nevermind, this one is RocksDB), and GoToSocial using it as a backend, no issues. And, of course, sqlite is the database of choice for a lot of things under iOS.

No reason I haven't switched. I trust Gitea (for now).

@prologic, are you running Gitea with an SQL backend, or using sqlite? Any reason have haven't moved to Forgejo?

@prologic I like the, allegedly, original:
> "It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience."
Not as simple as the interpretation you used, yet often context is king (or queen).

@prologic and one could say that "for every simple problem, there is a solution that's confusing, convoluted, and right." :-P

@prologic so, where are they? I want to take a peek at HomeTunnel (even though I don't a use case for it at the moment). Show us repos! :-P

I'll write a complaint to the main Gopher server and the hurricane will pass you by.
If Khzae closes soon I will have a panic attack and will start having fits again.
Hurricane Helene is coming right for me. Yay! And FSU sucks this season, too. :(

@mckinley I mean, yes! I've heard a lot of good things about how efficient of a tool it is for backup and all; and I'm willing to spend the time and learn. It's just that seeing those +400 possible options was a buzz-kill. 🫣 luckily @lyse and @movq shared their most used options!

@david having offsets were nice because it gives you context of where the user is in relation to you.

OP doesn’t want/like markdown (or some of it). He believes multi-lines propitiates or, rather, encourages it.
@lyse thank you! Raining is starting to fall very steadily. All good so far. Wife's home, a nice meal simmers. Ah! :-D

@david Enjoy the day off and fingers crossed that you survive without damages. Stay safe!
Hurricane Helene is passing by. Close enough to give us a day off tomorrow, but not that close to cause major harm. Well, we think. Hurricanes often have a mind of their own, and decide changes on their path. Either way, I shall be back at work on Friday 😩. LOL.

@lyse on this:
> 3.2 Timestamps: I feel no need to mandate UTC. Timezones are fine with me. But I could also live with this new restriction. I fail to see, though, how this change would make things any easier compared to the original format.
Exactly! If anything it will make things more complicated, no?

I hear from sources that Khzae will soon shut down. I hope am wrong.

Good writeup, @anth! I agree to most of your points.
3.2 Timestamps: I feel no need to mandate UTC. Timezones are fine with me. But I could also live with this new restriction. I fail to see, though, how this change would make things any easier compared to the original format.
3.4 Multi-Line Twts: What exactly do you think are bad things with multi-lines?
4.1 Hash Generation: I do like the idea with with a new uuid metadata field! Any thoughts on two feeds selecting the same UUID for whatever reason? Well, the same could happen today with url.
5.1 Reply to last & 5.2 More work to backtrack: I do not understand anything you're saying. Can you rephrase that?
8.1 Metadata should be collected up front: I generally agree, but if the uuid metadata field were a feed URL and no real UUID, there should be probably an exception to change the feed URL mid-file after relocation.
I passed a mountainbiker with a helmet camera in the forst, saw a four centimeter long black beetle that rolled over its side to change directions and finally spotted three deer on the paddock. An hour well spent I reckon.

I might actually end up doing this excercise with our apprentices at work. You can use this as a starting point to teach *a ton* of things. 🤔

Edit and deletions are precisely what brought us here. Currently, if one replies to a twtxt, and the original gets later edited, it breaks replies, and potentially drastically changes context.
Episódio estranho num táxi em Coimbra. Entrei depois de sair do comboio, e o taxista disse-me logo que tinha de pagar em dinheiro porque não tinha MB. Tudo ok, vamos lá. Quando chegámos ao destino, situação bem estranha:
– Ora bem, são 6.70€
– Ok, vou é precisar de fatura
– Ah não, fatura não tenho
– Como assim?
– Não posso passar fatura
– OK, então temos um problema porque eu tenho de declarar a despesa
– Amigo não lhe posso fazer nada, se não quiser não pague
– o_O como? É assim?
– Pois, se quiser não pague e vá à sua vida
– Ok, uma boa tarde para o senhor
– Boa tarde
O senhor não foi nada mal-educado, simplesmente encolheu os ombros. E eu lá fui à minha vida, sem pagar.
