I’d love to read the original source code of this:

This was our standard editor back in the day, not an “emergency tool”. And it’s only 9kB in size … which feels absurd in 2023. 😅 The entire hex dump fits on one of today’s screens.
Being so small meant it had no config file. Instead, it came with TKEY.EXE
, a little tool to binary-patch T.EXE
to your likings.
T with customized theme, empty file
T with default theme, showing LICENSE.TXT
TKEYS.DEF, the “config file”

Once I found out that you can follow hashtags (and not only people), Mastodon got a lot more interesting. 🤔 My timeline is flooded with interesting content now.
(Only problem is, I don’t know where I can find a list of hashtags that I’m following. It’s kind of an obscure feature …)

@marado I can’t read the full article, probably requires a subscription.
Here’s a naïve question from someone who has never driven a modern car like this: How does tracking like this work? Does the car have its own SIM card for mobile internet? (If so, who pays for that?) 🤨

I’m having an Internet outage at the moment … and now I can’t use valgrind
anymore, because it needs to fetch stuff from the net during startup. 😒

@mckinley Now that’s a crazy story. 😳😂
Can’t say I’ve seen something similar here in Germany. Then again, WiFi in hotels or elsewhere has always been so ridiculously expensive that I maybe used such a service once in my life, and that’s it. Didn’t even bother trying, so no idea which SSIDs were out there …

Meanwhile, I took asciibrot, replaced some POSIX stuff (like usleep()
) with the DOS equivalent and, boom, most of it actually works:
https://movq.de/v/2fe7fa6cf2/MVI_6175.MOV.mp4 (video of animated Julia sets)
I mean, it’s not *that* surprising since it’s just a simple terminal program, but I’ve never done something like that before, so I’m pretty thrilled. 😅

After dosfetch popped up in my timeline, I spent the better part of the day playing with Turbo C++ and inline assembly on DOS. For some reason, I never did this back in the day. Only QuickBASIC.
That was a really nice change of pace, compared to all the modern stuff like Rust, web apps, or even just X11 programming.

@lyse Yep. Lots of rain here as well. (Or let’s rather say, “more rain than the weeks before” …) I’m glad about it, since I don’t have any summer camps to attend. 😅 ☔

Finally dug up the proper cable, so I could revive my 5¼" floppy drive. Now I get this lovely sound during bootup. 🥰

@jmjl Hmmmmmmm, I’m not sure. 🤔 Other than what @prologic said, I think this could be one of those features that open the gates for spam. You don’t really have control anymore over which people you follow, so anyone could come along, push twts to that registry and thus spam your timeline. (Hence jenny would also need a *mute* feature.)
twtxt is very *pull*-based at the moment. In my eyes, this is a core feature. Making it *push*-based changes the game a lot. 🤔
I get the appeal, though. Discovering new people doesn’t work that well *inside of twtxt*. You need external tools for that.

@prologic Yes, I agree – so some extent. 😅 Registries (_or twtxt.net, for that matter_) serve the purpose of being a tool for discovering feeds.

@jmjl Before working on a patch, please explain a little more what you’re planning to do. :) jenny has a very narrow scope and I can’t guarantee that I’ll apply the patch (for example if it’s not useful to me personally).

It might have been “CyberRacer”:

(TIL: Mastodon has full threading, not just “reply to first post in thread and the rest is linear”. But UI/UX of that is super awkward … Why are modern web apps so, so bad at this?)

I'm looking for an old game from the mid 1990ies, probably DOS. (Not sure if it really existed or if I dreamed it up.)
Outdoors, alien planet, SciFi setting. 3D, voxelized landscape. The terrain was very open, you could move around freely. There was water in some parts of the terrain. You were piloting some sort of hovercraft or helicopter. I think you were also able to jump very high/far. There were few enemies and the entire gameplay was somewhat obscure -- I cannot remember the actual goal anymore, probably just "kill all enemies".
I think "energy balls" played an important part. I think they looked somewhat like the blue balls in "Descent" (those added energy to your shields), but I don't know anymore what their purpose was -- were those the projectiles you were shooting?
*Maybe* you were able to destroy the terrain.
I cannot remember any kind of narrative or story.
I think it was a relatively unknown game, not a big hit. It was not Comanche, nor Earth Siege 2.

The temperatures are very comfortable at the moment, yes. At least where we live – southern Europe not so much, I guess. 🫤

@lyse Also wir sind noch nicht durch damit (ISO27001), daher will ich mir da noch kein abschließendes Urteil erlauben und sollte eigentlich gar nicht so viel dazu schreiben. 😅
Aber was ich bisher so gesehen habe: *Eigentlich* ist das Regelwerk der ISO27001 gar nicht so schlecht, also die Gedanken darin/dahinter. (Natürlich kostet der Kram was, kannste also nicht mal einfach so reingucken.) Man könnte das schon als Grundlage nehmen, um sich mal die Firma anzugucken, was die so tut und wie sie das tut und dann tatsächlich Dinge verbessern.
Anders formuliert: Wenn du den Willen hast, dein Unternehmen zu verbessern, dann schau’ in die ISO27001 rein. Die gibt Ansatzpunkte und Ideen, an die du vielleicht gar nicht dachtest.
Wenn man das wirklich gewissenhaft macht und mehr als 5 Mitarbeitende hat, dann ist das aber ein *unfassbar* aufwändiger und schmerzhafter Vorgang. Ich kann mir beim besten Willen nicht vorstellen, dass die ganzen Unternehmen/Konzerne, die hübsch mit ISO27001-Zertifizierung werben, das auch so durchgezogen haben. No way. Und spätestens da fängt’s dann an, albern zu werden.
