By crawling a local copy my website, I found a blog post that still has links in the header to files that haven't existed for months.
Always exciting to make a new page for the twtxt section of my website. All done by hand, of course.
It's time for infrared-blocking glasses to become commonplace as facial recognition spreads. I only know of one company selling them.

Is it just me or is the new beta of Haiku more unstable than the previous one?

I'm tired of Mozilla's shenanigans. This was over the line. I made sure to tell them that in their uninstallation survey.
I restart my PC to update my graphics drivers, and I come back to the terrible looking UI of Firefox 89. I switched to ungoogled-chromium.
I just spelled 'Koenigsegg' correctly on the first try entering it into a search engine. Feels good.
You can still download videos by passing extracted browser cookies from an account. I'll bet you'll need cookies for any video soon.
Yes, I had to look up terms to describe the issue with my watch. You know, there's a 1500 word Wikipedia article about buckles.
The tongue of my watch's buckle has gone to the wrong side of the frame, and I don't know how. A good excuse to finally get a NATO strap.
On the subject of Mountain Dew, I'm still mad about the discontinuation of Black Label. Black Label was the best flavor, change my mind.
DEW-S-A IS BACK! I need to get my hands on Code Red, White Out, and Voltage to see if DEW-S-A really is a mix of the 3.
Apparently the PR author is associated with their new parent company, Muse Group. I doubt the opposition will be heard.
GoDaddy gave me a refund. I guess I'm not getting mc.cz for $16.
Firefox developers changed the text for some options in the right click menu, making half second actions take thought. Thank you for that.
Almost been 24 hours. I don't have control of my domain. GoDaddy shows it for sale. $5000 instead of $16. Contacting support in the morning.
Okay, IN MY DEFENSE: It is rare (and becoming more rare) to find a 2+2 letter domain that you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars for.
Oh, you've got to be kidding me. I can get xx.xx (domain withheld) for less than I paid for mck.cx! That's one character less!
Please stop recommending JavaScript programs to me. They're bad enough in a browser, let alone as a piece of dedicated software.
I am now the proud owner of the domain 'mck.cx'. This is only the 2nd domain I've bought without a purpose, but I'm still part of the club.
My 9.5KB plain text feed is also getting up there. I've been thinking about adding a feed with only recent posts. Last 25 or 30, probably.
A month ago, /twtxt.html was the largest page on mckinley.cc. I split it into several files and now the January-April page is the same size.
Oh, wow, Dogecoin almost hit a quarter. Maybe I should get some when the price stabilizes a bit.
PEOPLE DO THAT WITH A HEADLESS CHROME INSTANCE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHO COULD POSSIBLY- WHY WOULD- THE- I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CHARACTERS.
I had a nightmare last night, I had to check my email on an M1 MacBook Pro, and the email client on it was just terrible, almost unusable.
I wouldn't have bought this mouse if it wasn't on the shelf at Micro Center. I've always thought it was a meme, but I like it a lot.
I got a Kensington Expert Mouse. My only other trackball is of the thumb-ball style. The Expert Mouse is very different, but nice to use.
GitHub really doesn't make it easy for you to do things anonymously. At least you can see repositories without JS. (Looking at you, GitLab!)
OnionShare now lets you host an anonymous chat room. You can also run multiple services at one time. It just keeps getting better.
I'm currently updating an Arch system that hasn't been updated since October. Wish me luck.
Live.js is neat, but I don't know why you would include it in the document. I just put it in a userscript for 127.0.0.1. https://livejs.com/
@prologic Twtxt.net's privacy policy says you store emails, /register disagrees. Which is true?
"72% of people feel that almost all of what they do online is being tracked by advertisers" Wow Google, I wonder why they feel that way.
@prologic Vim, and it's really not that awful.
@darch Just inline images, they wrap like text.
@adi I can't find it now, keep an eye out for it.
Why is it so common for help sites of software projects to have no links back to the main site? I always have to change the URL manually.
The AC adapter for my W700ds arrived. I can now say the reviewer who referred to it as "a very brick-like power brick" was absolutely right.
MC 1.17: I predict there will be a bedrock wall generated on the border of 1.17 chunks that go to y=-64 and pre-1.17 chunks that go to y=0.
MC 1.17: Bedrock in existing chunks won't be replaced with grimstone. Grimstone starts at y=-1, bedrock ended at y=0. Very specific numbers.
@adi Thanks, man. I'll take a look.
@prologic 36% of requests since I enabled logs
I turned on access logging for https://mckinley.cc/, so if you want to go there using weird browser/hardware combinations, now is the time.
I've been on an archive.org book waitlist for weeks because I can't find the book anywhere else. It sucks to not illegally download things.
I can't tell if this is going to be a real product or not. I sure hope it is, because it looks really cool. http://violence.works/
Calls to "own your data" and focus on "privacy" fall on deaf ears if you're sponsored by Google and Mozilla, recommending the use of Tumblr.
The 1.17 update to Minecraft will have some interesting features, but I don't really see myself playing a lot of anything newer than 1.12.2.
People's minds are blown about how Mojang made worlds deeper in Minecraft. I predicted this exact solution months ago and was called crazy.
Search engines are not browsers, browsers are not search engines.
To the Canadian gentleman signing every guestbook he can find in Gopherspace, I salute you sir.
The 140 character limit of the twtxt spec is annoying. I hope you got the essence of my previous post.
I was once shown a site with CSS making it look like the source HTML but I didn't save it. If you know it please send a message on Session.
Computers page looks like garbage, but at least I've finally gotten around to making it an official part of my site.
The computers page on https://mckinley.cc/ kills Lynx compatibility, and I'm stumped on how to fix it without the looks tanking for everyone
Man, haven't used this in a while. Not dead. Blog post coming soon:tm:
My hosting provider probably won't let me use a public key for authentication with FTP though, so that still needs to be done manually.
I finally made a script to add my twtxt messages in the 3 necessary documents. It isn't pretty, but at least it gets the job done.
I would like to make a list of the computers I own on here, have pictures and specs of the machine. Would be a fun project to index them.
Got my new ThinkPad in the mail today. An X61T. Installed Arch on it, everything went well. May go to Parabola eventually for extra freedom.
The amount of times I've had to boot my (GNU/Linux) laptop just to ssh into it on my (Windows) desktop to do a basic task is astounding.
https:github.com/duckduckgo/Android/issues/527 Domains visited using mobile DDG browser get sent to DDG servers... I'll switch to Firefox.
Moving to Mexico to start an underground GNU/Linux users group, gonna call it RMS-13
Put a nice twtxt section on the root of my website. Fun fact: it isn't automated, so every time I "tweet" I have to manually add it there.
I'm not even using a real client, I made a (poorly written) bash script to write messages to a file and exit if it's over 140 characters.
My first twtxt. Nobody will follow me, but I'm sure if I shill enough on my website I'll get a few people to read my messages in a browser.
