@stigatle Ah, you’re back. 👌 I was *this close* to removing your presumably dead feed from my list. 😅

@eaplmx Well, I can relate quite a bit to this idea of “Orphans of Netscape”. I can’t really put it into words. 😅 Just “yeah, that’s it!”

@lyse Good point. Turns out, they *are* available in the web UI:
So, yeah, probably nobody uses feeds, so they don’t notice how inconvenient this is …
Ugh, I really don’t want to build a queue for this. 😅

(That’s a video that will … premier in … *20 days*! 🤣 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBJtnCZHPxM I guess that’s the whole point of this “feature”. It’s so ridiculous that people just *have* to talk about it. And boom, marketing.)

Why, oh why, does YouTube include *upcoming* videos in RSS feeds? “This video premiers in 21 hours.” Oohhhhhhkay. I will long have forgotten about it by then, thank you very much.

@darch Hmmm … if the argument is “not all twtxt files have all required fields”, then wouldn’t this also apply to webfinger? Not all servers that host a twtxt file will also serve webfinger info. 🤔 You’d probably always have to implement some fallback mechanism.
I don’t really know anything about “indieweb”, though. I’ll have to read up on that first. 😅

@prologic Alright, buuuut … what do we gain from that?
You could do almost the same thing currently with just the feed URL. nick = can be read from metadata. The canonical feed URL used for twt hashing is well-defined, too (first url = in metadata).
Sorry if I’m being too dumb. 😅

@prologic Hmmm.
So you’re suggesting to make prologic@twtxt.net the “primary identifier” of a user, right? That’s the string that I would configure in my twtxt client when I want to follow someone. Then when my client fetches the feed, it first does a webfinger lookup to find the feed URL and the nickname. (Or maybe this only immediately after adding the user to my client and then maybe update it every now and then.)
Did I understand correctly so far? 😅

@prologic I’m not really sure what you mean. Don’t we already have nick = and url = in the metadata section? Which problem are we trying to solve? 🤔

Moon and Mars very close to each other tonight.
Sadly, I lack the equipment/skill to take a good photo of this. The Moon is way too bright and you can hardly see Mars on the left.

@carsten They hardly care what it is. It should just work. They’re also an WhatsApp, but I refuse to use that. 🥴

@prologic I have to confess, I never really had a look at Salty. 🤔 Is it ready for “prime time”? I.e., usable by non-tech users, Android and iOS client, easy upload of images and videos, … ?

Matrix) as a self-hosted chat for our family was a mistake. Messages even arrive out of order now …
I’ll have to start looking for an alternative.

@abucci Huh … well, to be fair, I do have a “read later” text file. I never read any of the stuff in it, but maybe, one day, when I have the time … 🤪
If you don’t read it now (or at least this evening), then you probably never will.

The Fall) is a great show. 👌 Slow, dark, great atmosphere. Almost like Nordic Noir. I haven’t finished it yet, though (so who knows, maybe the ending sucks 😅).

@abucci I don’t. 😅 I might accumulate quite a lot of tabs throughout the day (especially at work), but eventually, meh, hardly any of them matter. If something really is important, I store a link at the appropriate place. Let’s say some web site is relevant to a bit of code I’m writing, then it ends up as a comment in said code …
Other than that, I have a bookmarks file with stuff I’m regularly visiting.
And that’s it.
Which brings me to the important question: What *are* those 153 tabs of yours? 😅

@lyse Quite a lot of bugs in that area. 🤔 I mean in general, not just in your client. What was it? Sometimes it almost feels like we went too far with that spec and made it too complicated / too many corner cases.

@lyse Fireworks sure do look nice, though. 😅 I’m surprised that you managed to take such good shots – it’s pretty finnicky to get the exposure right, IIRC. (I guess your camera had good auto-settings here.)
We were watching from our balcony. Well, not the balcony actually, we were behind the windows. You can’t watch fireworks from the balcony of a (small-ish) tower building, because the rockets will explode right in your face. 🧨
Where I live, it has actually gotten a bit better. Before Covid, people were shooting fireworks like maniacs. Then in 2020 there were basically no fireworks (I think there were restrictions back then), which was a little strange, but very relaxing. In 2021, some fireworks got replaced by laser shows – pretty cool! And this year we’re back to standard fireworks again – but not to the pre-Covid extent. They stopped sooner and I hardly remember any bombs going off today (January 1st).
