So now that I have a basic Twtxt form, I can also update my feed even when I am not on my PC.

So the APC UPS power pack’s USB port is not capable of providing stable current for both a Macbook and the Iphone, which was also connected to the USB Type-A port next to it. Good to know.

Something weird is happening to the new APC UPS - it has an USB Type-C port - but it seems that the power supply is a bit wonky.

Building a Twtxt Gui with some JS and HTML as an example application.

Refreshing my knowledge on Node.js

Hey Apple, it’s 2023 - about time to start supporting the content indexation of markdown files in Spotlight out of the box, don’t you think?

My cli work-apps: note, plan, dlog (daily log), status and twt.

Got the flu shot done for this year

I just backed up my twtxt.txt data on a medium that will last for years if treated well: 4 sheets of paper.

‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’ ends up with blind people starving to death.

@prologic@twtxt.net Perhaps we should add a meta flag to Twtxt to stop indexation by ChatGPT and consorts? I already use robots.txt for this.

It would be hard to explain to anyone, some fifty years ago, how I accidentally bought apples grown in South-Africa at the supermarket here in Düsseldorf the other day..

my thoughts are free

Since I have these simple, yet effective bash shell commands, which allow me to edit notes, plans, todos and statuses from the terminal, I feel liberated from overly complex software - everything is just text files and applications which come preinstalled on every Linux system.

The situation in Gaza is “more than a humanitarian crisis, it is a crisis of humanity”, Guterres said during a briefing at the UN’s headquarters on Monday.

By using scp I can see just how fast my updates are published to the WWW.

I salute you, who can remember Vim’s copy paste commands without using a cheatsheet.

Still find it amazing how I can put almost my whole music collection on a device the size of a human finger nail.

Reorganising and refactoring terminal aliases is a nice way to start a quiet Sunday morning.

Just published my very first npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/twthash

Reading the backlog of my twtxt posts and it’s nice to be able to just delete some outdated things by editing a simple txt file.

Upgraded my Twtxt feed to 2023 with the twtxt.net twthash extension.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Are the apps on F-Droid better?

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve even added the twthash message hash to my Twtxt bash CLI script so I can properly answer here.

@prologic@twtxt.net Cool to see you’re still here too.

Anyone else keeping personal .log files updated through basic shell commands?

Messed up the configuration of the nut UPS monitor so bad it actually initialised an UPS test where the device switched itself off on the reboot of the PC. No idea how that happened. So uninstalled it again.

Using the CLI to be in-dis-tractable

We’re still here!

In case you didn’t notice, I deleted my Twitter and Keybase accounts. Going full indieweb.

If you’re looking for a cool p2p database system have a look at www.earthstar-project.org

With all this ActivityPub hectic, it is still nice to have a super simple platform like Twttxt to get back to.

So it happened - the twtxt.xyz domain finally expired

Ping - still alive and kicking

First rule of SSB is: be patient - it is meant to move slower than conventional social networks

Oh hello again SSB - reinstalled ManyVerse on all my devices, including my PC

The battery life in this i9 MacBook Pro from 2018 has diminished to being barely enough to serve as an UPS backup system with enough time to perform a safe shutdown

Anyone else see their kids seem bigger in the morning or when not having seen them in a couple of hours? They grow so fast.

Upgraded my Twtxt feed to 2022 with the twtxt.net meta-data extensions.

Happy New Year 2022 Twtxt!

Can I rely on IPFS mirrors only yet for serving my personal static website? Probably only when you’re a popular IPFS oriented site.

Waar een wil is, is een weg.

Why do I keep writing simple English words like change or chance and save or safe, and live or life wrong?

What am I doing and why am I doing it, I have no idea. Today is one of those days.

Was feeling a bit down but watching some family videos and pictures from last year brightened me up. Good night.

What if due to climate crisis effects and disasters our digital future will depend on low-energy hardware and protocols like Gemini?

I have a lot of respect for scientist and engineering astronauts - not so much for tourist ones…

Switching search engines today from DuckDuckGo to Ecosia as ClimateChange has a higher prio than our privacy.

Words I cannot type rightly at the first attempt: testimonial, accessibility, successful

After Home-office time is over I will miss being able to multi-task during long meetings.

For a blissful month we had our own strawberry garden, now I know what fruitflies live on in the wild.

I’m doing this thing again where I am collecting more articles and books to read than actual doing any reading.

Will the UEFA be responsible for nobody wearing a mask at the Eurocup games when the infection rates sky-rocket - allover again?

So tired of mobile phone vendor lock in and bad usability for the sake of keeping people in their services. Try printing a file from your email inbox to a Bluetooth printer from your Android phone.

Uninstalled Brave browser and went back to only using Firefox.

So I should really try setting up a Restic repo on an IPFS/IPNS hash.

Making sure my personal profile site is navigatable using a keyboard only for fun

I miss David Bowie

I always need to look up how to use pbcopy. It’s counter-intuitive to me.

I will miss being able to multi-task during long meetings while working remotely if I need to get back in the office.

The Weaving The Web Book by Tim Berners-Lee should be a required read for anyone building on the Web.

TIL that changing a .bashrc alias to a bash function requires you to restart the terminal as calling source ~/.bashrc does not change the alias to the function call.

The immersive beats and the haunting vocals in “Silent Shout” by The Knife still sound like they came from the future even-though the song was released in 2006…

I feel like I only scratched the surface of what can be done with IPFS.

Jake explains how to correctly encode data for POST requests as no AI can.

Anyone made a Drum & Bass / Dubstep remix of “Fuel to Fire” by Agnes Obel yet?

Working with Web components feels a bit like {insert fav fantasy world here} with concepts like the Shadow Dom and the Light Dom

The weather of the moment brought to you with the command tweet "$(weather)".

Look for overcast in Düsseldorf with a temperature of 22.7°C. No rain is expected at this time. Expect a gentle breeze from the WestSouthWest.

The flavours of rosmarin and nutella fit together, right?

Restarted my paper bullet journalling as a form of digital detoxing - zen in pen and paper

After building websites and styling for about 20 years now I still don’t see the difference between italic and oblique.

Coming back to work today, I found myself still very much grieving for the sudden loss of our dear colleague Filiz - finding some solace in the words of the beautiful song “I grieve” by Peter Gabriel

Had a great day at the Leverkusen Neuland park and the Langenfeld Wasserski place with my family!

@von@tilde.town Welcome back!

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks. Nothing much to it. Perhaps I’ll make it better later.

@darch@twtxt.net Yes, nothing much to it. Full source code is free to use :-) I will probably add some analytics and sorting options later.

Not sure why exactly, but I made sure my Twtxt HTML page renders okay on a Nokia 8110 4G 240px screen.

This Loki show is pretty clever and really well-made. Enjoying watching it.

Semper meliorem facio - Always do better

Content-security-policies are an evil necessity. Setting them up securily takes away some fun out of publishing online.

When tragedy strikes unexpectedly we cannot just go on as if nothing happened. Our minds need to be given time to deal with the blow. So it is necessary to pause and allow ourselves to process and recover.

I made https://johanbove.info/twtxt.html with a couple of lines of JS today. Makes it a bit easier to read my Twtxt feed online.

A beloved colleague passed away after a terrible car accident a couple of days ago. Thoughts go to her family and colleagues.

Decided to keep the smart-phone out of our bedroom and keep a note book instead. Already feeling lighter and fresher.

All is good. Got my first shot of Biontech last week.

JavaScript applications have become not-to-be-kidding complex lately. I guess that’s why I am longing for simpler days.

Getting started with Restic for my backup needs. It’s really neat and fast.
