@movq Really? 😅 Thank you!
Nobody want to be a shitty programmer. The question is: Do you do anything not to not be one?
Reading blogs or social media and watching YouTube videos is fun. After them, your code may be a little better, of course. But you need a lot. You need to study! Read good books and study the code of other programmers, for example. Maybe work with a new language, architectures and paradigms. You need break the routine.
If you know Object-oriented programming, you learn functional programming.
If you know Model-View-Controller, you learn Model-View-ViewModel.
If you don't know anything about architectures, you learn Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, etc.
If you know Python, you learn Ruby or Go.
If you know Clojure or Lisp... you don't need to learn anything else. You are already a good programmer. Just kidding. You can learn Elixir or Scala.
Be a good programmer my friend.
@andros Alright. 👍 Btw, your feed uses spaces instead of tabs. 😅
@prologic if I understand correctly it's *just* to increase hash size from 7 to 12 once it gets calculated, isn't it? BTW is this change already approved? I still don't understand how a proposal become an implementation in the twtxtverse 🤓

slowing working away at my latest code project: learning PHP by recreating the 2000s fandom mainstay known as a fanlisting! it's been super fun i added a dynamic nav bar and other modifications in the latest commit
fanlistings even to this day rely on old PHP scripts dating back to the early 2000s that need whole ass mySQL or postgres DBs and are incredibly insecure. you can look at them here they're like super jank lol it's sad that new fanlistings have to use them because there's no other options....

@andros I set up a test feed here:

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.)

@movq @kat @quark In 2014 one person created protocol ii. Later it forked in IDEC. Why i said this? Because it's simple "federated" forum-like protocol where from your station fetch another every 5-10 minutes. Stations has topic-based channels like idec.talks, linux.16, haiku.os, zx.spectrum. In short it's FIDO but.. more modern? Documentation: https://github.com/idec-net/new-docs (mostly Russian, but you can use translator, also protocol already translated to english)

@bender Yes, you right. But is premium for more than that.
I use a feature I love a lot: customising different searches with different themes or links.
It's easy to understand with an example. I have a search with the name "Django". I set sources: Django documentation, stack overflow, topic "programming" and so on. It's very quick to find Django solutions.
I also have another way to find my stuff: search my blog and repositories.
I had problems paying for the first mouths, now it's a working tool for me.
[47°09′19″S, 126°43′39″W] Bad satellite signal -- switching to analog communication
@movq If you want, we can try it out between us. I'm just working on it (It was the easiest thing to do).
@quark I’ll translate “desert rat” as “Wüstenmaus”, which is kind of cute, and I’ll pretend that you just didn’t call your partner a rat. 😂
@kat Off-topic areas are always a good idea. :-) Web forums often had those. And web forums are actually what I had in mind, @bender. 😅 (While I do have a certain nostalgia for it *now*, Usenet has always been a bit weird to me. Can’t really explain why.)
So, the “AI” bots have reached my website. Looks like they’re just slowly crawling everything at the moment – no DDoS-like attack yet. I wonder if that has something to do with my website being 100% static HTML. There are no GET parameters they can tweak and, at the end of the day, there’s not *that much* data on my server anyway … And maybe they have no idea what stagit is, so it doesn’t trigger “standard behavior”, like “this is a Gitea instance, let’s crawl this like crazy!”?
@bender no such luck, not happening. It's almost 04:00 in Brisbane, just wait a bit until the @prological son awakens.
@movq not bad! The yellowish/ivory tint makes it much easier on the eyes. I have gotten so use to "dark" mode, that find it hard switching to anything else.
@movq mine too, mine too! Imagine my frustration being married to someone who prefers the heat. It's like a polar bear married to a desert rat. LOL.
@movq "*topic-based forums/groups*", you mean what USENET used to be, and the "niche" that Reddit is fulfilling these days? :-D I get it, I agree. I think I find twtxt more fulfilling than anything else because of its small size. I feel like I truly know everyone (even if that might not be true), and find myself "at home". The bigger the place, the shyest I become, the less enticing it is.*

Confession:
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. ☹️
I’m keeping this color scheme on my laptop for now:
@andros You know, I’d really love to see how/if location-based addressing works in practice. I might fork jenny to judy and run both things in parallel for a while … 🤔
