@eveningwear Did you let one of your wee ones do the ordering for you?! 🀣
@lukem I love it! πŸ˜‚ cc @recipes
@vain Thanks I’ll check it out!
@vain What is it exactly?
@antonio fair enough
@vain You mean to say you _actually_ have a machine that old? WOW! 😳
@off_grid_living also that looks really cool, looks like one of those olden day style wagons?
@off_grid_living Hey wow! 😳 That’s a nice clear high res photo!!! πŸ‘ŒπŸ“· Onviously not taken with your $10 phome that went through the wash πŸ˜‚
@slashdot Why would I want to install Windows calculator on Linux?! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
@dooven Holy smokes that’s cold! πŸ₯Ά
@antonio But they are linking to themselves? πŸ€” I don’t get it πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
@vain What did you run this in? And where do you get a copy from?
@off_grid_living Okay I’ll do it for you 😁
@dilbert Haha 🀣 Not really sure which particular _real world_ corporation this is attempting to make fun of?! πŸ˜‚
@slashdot Anyone good with reading complicate things and have a good level of comprehension?! πŸ˜€ What's going on here? What's the FCC looking in to and planning on doing here? πŸ€”
@vain Looks pretty gloomy 😁
@prologic Hello Poly! πŸ˜ŽπŸΆπŸ“·
@lukem Thanks did the affirmation πŸ˜ŽπŸ€—
@lukem Thanks! I’m considering getting him a Motorola Moro E6 which is just slightly over budget but I think it’s a slightly nicer phone with a 13 megapixel camera dual Sim and micro SD slot for expanded storage. what do you think?
Can anyone recommend a good Android phone for my old man under $100 ? Minimum requirements: decent(ish) main camera, wifi and 4g/lte. Nothing too fancy πŸ˜€
So... it turns out that trying to improve rss2twtxt to add an image and article "excerpt" to our RSS/Atom Feed aggregation service at feeds.twtxt.net is _quite hard_ to get right. There's jst no consistency in what folks put into the Content or Description of their RSS/Atom feeds in the first place 😒 Worse yet, some folks (e.g: ListVerse) put basically what I consider "garbage" at the bottom like "This post was first seen blah blah blah" which provides no value.
@ammaratef45 Interesting... We don't render anything in the User's Profile TagLine πŸ˜€ We _had_ contemplated adding additional fields to the User model like URL or "other links", but we felt it wasn't really necessary or provided much value πŸ€” πŸ“· -- Also nice Avatar 😎
@ammaratef45 Hi there! πŸ‘‹ Welcome to Twtxt.net πŸ€— Thanks for helping us with Goryon (_our iOS/Android Flutter App!_). Hope you enjoy using this platform like we all do πŸ˜€ We're actually trying to get Goryon into the App Store, its already in the Google Play Store (_if you're on an Android device_).
@lukem Congrats! πŸŽ‰
@eveningwear Yeah we did that a few months back...
@lukem Yeah I agree, it's a bit hard to live without e Smartphone these days... I mean I use mine as a camera (_and its very good!_) and of course e2e encrypted chat, calls and social media (Twtxt) πŸ˜€
@lukem It's called a "John's Phone". I used to use it a while back as my primary phone πŸ˜€
@codebalion Hello! Thanks for following me 😁 Welcome to Twtxt! πŸ€—
@off_grid_living Yup I like my electric brushless tools 😎
@off_grid_living I have these two you can choose from! πŸ˜ŽπŸ“· and
@vain Haha! Also thanks for reminding me of [Post-process Twts from external feeds and link tags] πŸ€—(https://github.com/jointwt/twtxt/issues/177)
Should we whitelist by default links to embeddd images from Wikipedia? πŸ€”
@antonio Yeah pass then 😁 I like most of Apple’s products but not so much their β€œcloud” shit or Apps per se 🀣
@lukem @antonio Ahh yes I’m familiar with that machine, not so difficult to use!
@lukem No worries! G'night! 😴
You can just promote the the left pawn to a queen then position it on the white diagonal and take the rook! πŸŽ‰
@lukem Oh waht a second... I didn't finish the stupid puzzle!
@antonio I've not looked in to it... What does it do?! 🀣 Can I run PlexAmp on it? 😎
@antonio That's why we have such a machine! I'm too much half asleep to have a _real_ coffee machine 🀣
@ionores @antonio Best combination! β˜•οΈ + 🍺 = πŸ˜†=
@lukem Like this πŸŽ₯ β™Ÿ
Going to probably buy an iPad Air today πŸ‘Œ
@antonio @ionores man you drink coffee faster than me!!! πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£
@antonio @ionores Only on my first one πŸ˜΄β˜•οΈπŸ“·
@antonio ours looks like this πŸ˜Žβ˜•οΈπŸ“·
@off_grid_living How about a $0 one? 😎 I’ve got one you can have!
@felixp7 112beinf yhe number for what?
@vain Can’t tell if satire or serious cry for help? 😁 🧐
@mk You just need the smaller package, command line tools
@lukem Well I'm prologic on lichess when you're ready πŸ˜€
@lukem I’m on lichess want to play there?
@agusandriputra update what?! 😎
Rusty Dog! 🐢 πŸ“·
@vain @astrophotography @hellson Up for another trip out west?
@vain If I end up with some clear nights over the next coming weeks I’ll be sure to take some photos with my telescope and camera! And I’ll add them to my @astrophotography feed 😁
@vain That is correct! all uses on a pod also share a Global Feed Cache
@dooven I’ve not used a pure functional language serious enough (yet); I enjoy some aspects of β€œfunctional programming” (_some patterns are very powerful!_), but pure FP langs I find hard to grok 😁
@dooven That’s the land that runs on Erlang right?
I like the night mode features is the iPhone camera 😁 ✨ πŸ“·
I think this is my old friend the butcher bud! 🦜 πŸŽ₯
@off_grid_living Hey! You've replied to a conversation πŸ˜€ Cool! Yeah I'm not sure what you mean by a video in a video? But anyway I didn't do this video, experts did thanks to @iggi and @tknz 😎
anyone know if you can turn off the 5G capability in the new Apple iPhone 12?
@vain Don’t worry it doesn’t work so well anyway when you have a multi-user client like the one at twtxt.net 😎
@prologic @ionores The pod backend doesn't really track when users last logged in, it simply doesn't care (_not useful info_).
@ionores Haha yeah I tend to agree. My _thinking_ is each Pod should have a weekly cron job that cleans up stale accounts that have never posted in 3 months (_perhaps making the parameters configurable_). I figure if someone signed up to check things out, but never posted in >~3months then they don't really use this? OTOH they _could_ be idle readers so perhaps it should also check for if created > 3 months && (sum(posts) + sum(following) == 0) ...?~
@sam Pretty cool! What did you write the packet editor in? πŸ€” (_also fyi, you can and could have also uploaded that video to your pod btw... 😁_)_
Wondering whether pods should have a weekly job that cleans up old stale accounts? πŸ€”\n\n
\n$ dki -t --rm -v twtxt_twtxt:/data alpine /bin/sh\n/ # cd /data/feeds && wc -l * | sort -n -r | grep -E '\\s+0\\s+.*' | wc -l\n84\n/data/feeds #\n
@vain How about another follow-up blog piece on the work we've done here to contrast and compare where we've taken things? πŸ€”
@vain Alao nice write up πŸ€— Dis you know you can also write and publish blogs here? πŸ‘Œ
@vain some of these ideas whilst were absolutely true, are a little outdated now since I’ve done a lot of work with the team here to address a lot of the shortcomings of the original spec and try to extend it in ways that didn’t break backwards compatibility with existing clients…
@vain which, your own cli client or this self-hostable platform? 😁
@lukem Ahhh I see 😁
@ionores Me too! As they say 3rd times the charm eh? πŸ˜‚
@dilbert hahahahaha! πŸ˜‚ 🀣 too real Dilbert! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
@lukem Oh! I _thought_ it was directed at me! 😳 I'm a sensitive guy, I like to keep everyone happy ! πŸ€—
At my local beer store there’s a sign that says\n\n> Dont forget it’s only the first 5 days after the weekend that are bad!
@ionores Remind me once we get the iOS app through, that I owe you an apology and explanation! πŸ€—
App Store review process is a bit frustrating 😣
@lukem Hmmm πŸ€” Did I do something? 😒
@eli_oat join the club πŸ˜‚
@vain Oh that’s kind of cute! Very nice πŸ‘Œ Want to contribute to our command-line client? πŸ€”
@vain They sure do!
@prologic @arnauld Translation probably doesn't do what you wrote justice, but very nice! Thank you for doing this! πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ
@arnauld Cool! I'll have a read (_even though I'll have to use Google Translate πŸ˜›_)_
One _thing_ we really lack is more/better pod discovery, but it might not even be necessary. We'll see 😎
@arnauld Through feeds πŸ˜€ and the WebMentions protocol. That's about it really, the beauty about the simplicity is that it just works. A conversation that started on one pod that then has a follower on another pod gets mirrors with identical hashes on both pods. I was a bit surprised myself when I saw this the first time, but yeah it just worksβ„’ πŸ˜€
@ionores thanks πŸ™‡β€β™€οΈ
@ionores Do you mind deleting this post please? I understand you _feel_ the need to test my AdGuardHome DNS blocking, but this is a bit gross 😎 We're _right_ in the middle of trying to get Goryon approved through the App Store and posting this does not help 😁 Thanks!
@ionores fair enough 😁
@razetime @lyxal Same here. I had deleted my Twitterβ„’ account some time ago, and I recently removed the last of my "traditional advertising backed" social media the other day πŸ˜€ Truth be told (_not a biased opinion at all! 🀣) I actually really enjoy socialising online like this without distractions or my data being sold for advertising 😎_
@ionores You know you can upload media here right? There's an "Upload Image" (_and audio and video_) buttons! 😎
@ionores On that's interesting! AdGuardHome blocked that image (_but that website is also not whitelisted here to serve images inline_) for "Parental Control" reasons, apparently is known to contain/serve adult material?! 😱
@ionores Good one! isn’t that from Greek mythology? The man that thought he could fly like the birds? 🀣
@lukem ahh yes I agree it requires much greater discipline, but something I think everyone can learn to do! πŸ’ͺ
@lukem I will never want to go back to those long commute times! For me in my local city it easily consumed 15 to 20 hours a week of my time! 😳 at the end of the day by the time you’ve done a full eight hour day at the office your day ends up being more like 12 to 13 hours away from your home and your family 😒
@lukem You know what did it for me? (_waking up at 5.30am every day for the past 3 months?_) -- Having an exciting invigorating project that fuels and energizes me! 😎 🀣_
@lukem Yeah I agree, it _could_ possibly have been that. But who knows eh? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ In any case there's some crazy 🀬 πŸ’© ou there! πŸ˜‚
@felixp7 Thanks! This is a good read on the use of CDNs. I'll add to my reading list πŸ“š πŸ™
@slashdot Obviously we don't know the full details... But I'm guessing, If you have a poor experience with less than ideal expectations (_read not what you paid for_), and write a corresponding review that reflects that, you can now go to Prison?! wtf?! 😳 Surely the world isn't that crazy?! πŸ€” #crazy #reviews
@antonio WOW! 😲 A #local_wonder perhaps?! 😎 Gliding with the birds! πŸ‘
