It’s been like that for as long as I can remember … Why do we love misery so much?
It’s really turning me off lately, making me want to leave IT for good. 😒

For reference, this is how it looks like on my end (after having zoomed out quite a lot):
That’s a lot of paper. Did you read through it, maybe find some cute gems?
I used a plugin like this for a long time in the past, but eventually gave up on it. I have to use too many websites that insist on implementing their own editor widget. Google Docs, Confluence, stuff like that. 😞

Since I’m not a fan of NodeJS, I tried reimplementing some of the ideas in C. (No Rust this time, sorry, I just wanted to get things done.) So here you go, the official twtxt black metal logo:
😂 😅
Regular bass guitar for size comparison. That thing is huge.
I still suck at playing it, naturally, but it’s a looot of fun. And the posture is much more comfortable than that of a guitar, where you have to twist your left hand like a maniac. 🥴
😅
… I’ve used that quite a lot, too. 😅 As for entering that stuff directly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key is great
I really don’t remember anymore. 😅
> when browser vendors push RSS so far to the sidelines, companies will respond by replacing RSS with Twitter and Facebook accounts.
That’s pretty much what happened eventually, isn’t it?
The blog post outlines a nice vision of how feeds could have been handled (show them on the browser’s start page and such). That would have been super userful for ordinary users. (Almost reminds me a bit of Microsoft’s “Active Desktop” back in the day. 😅 What did that use under the hood? Probably not RSS, that wasn’t around yet, I think?)
It would have been nice if they hadn’t removed the indicator icon as well. You know, that little icon in the address bar that informs users when a web site offers a feed. Via that icon, users could discover the mere fact that feeds even exist.
How do you identify a feed? Did you take the
url metadata field into account (if present)?
access.log. It’s not polished enough to be published, though.
Feels a bit like the mechanism that fills the cache predates the feed metadata extension, eh? 🤔 (I don’t remember the timeline anymore. 🥴)
https://uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt, which is not correct. The www. is missing. Is there something we can do about that or should I extend my client so that it recognizes this as “me”, too? 😅

Great, innit? All these blackboxes deciding what you can and cannot do …

I can tell you what I dislike about OpenBSD:
- Still using CVS. And CVSWeb has a horrible usability, I gave up on it and browse sources on the GitHub mirror.
- Little things like:
- tmpfs is not pageable and, IIRC, removing files does not free memory, either.
- The distinction between MP and non-MP kernels, and the confusion that can come from that.
- The non-adoption of UTF-8 on the console (outside of X11).
- The overall negative and somewhat arrogant attitude of the OpenBSD community. Doesn’t motivate me very much to contribute to the project.
And yet it’s currently the best OS for my private servers. 👌

What saddens me is people giving up. Everyone who claims “e-mail is broken” or “self-hosting is broken” makes life harder for the rest of us. 😐 Newcomers will read those blog posts and they’ll decide to not even try …
There was a follow-up blog post by someone else who brought up another important argument: “it’s never been easier to self-host your email” because the software has gotten so much better. Anyone remember setting up sendmail? 🤣 I haven’t even tried the alternatives mentioned in that post, because I use OpenBSD’s smtpd these days and I love it. 👌

I’d like to highlight this comment on HN:
> I agree with the pains, but the options are not juts Big Tech or self-hosting. There's a myriad of not-big-tech email providers out there, for example there's Posteo, who use open source software and green energy. They are going strong for 13 years now with 400+k accounts.

Please consider this option if you’re fed up with self-hosting e-mail. We need a diverse ecosystem.
curl says:
Last-Modified: Fri, 02 Sep 2022 21:38:02 GMT
But her latest twt says:
2022-09-02T22:31:26-00:00
So if
Last-Modified is correct (it probably is, unless her server’s clock is off, which is less likely than a bug in the script), then the latest twt looks indeed like it was from “the future”.
(And, haha, the place named “Galgenberg” …)
Big trees have survived, but you can tell by the “grass” how much everything else has dried up.
binfmt_misc in action. Drew DeVault happened to mention binfmt_misc yesterday, too, in a different context. I don’t really do cross-architecture stuff … This topic only popped up at work, because Apple introduced their ARM M1 CPU and now our devs build multiarch Docker images (and we were wondering how the heck QEMU got installed).
