@prologic@twtxt.net YES, Please!!!

Where do I download more hours for my days? not having more than 24 hours a day S U C K S !

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org HAHA! 😆 Nice one!

@prologic@twtxt.net I tried hosting my own Matrix server once, I got wrecked! 🤣 and I believe that experience established a good base line for me to avoid self-hosting anything federated (except for a TWTX feed).

Skill issues aside (since I’m willing to learn), my internet speed is a huge limitation (I have less than 1Mb Up) 🫠 Then again, there’s the Running stuff off of my RPI's SD Card 😅 that’s just asking for trouble.

Seriously, I should get a proper Job, at least I’ll be able to afford my curiosities 🙃

@movq@www.uninformativ.de He did! But hey, at least his claws were not out. So we’re good 😂

My cat just had a… nightmare ? He woke up, slapped me in the face then jumped off of the bed giving me the “WTF Just happened Human!?” look. 🤭

@prologic@twtxt.net They are but then again Apple’s is doing things Apple’s way 😆 Hint: punishing devs and users for using alternative stores.

@bender@twtxt.net F-Droid is a platform/app that lets you side-load/install and serve android apps without the need for Google’s play store’s blessing. I also use Aurora Store to install Play Store’s apps without having to associate my phone with Google account. 🦾 it makes me feel good about myself 🥸

@quark@ferengi.one 😆 I’m trying so hard to overcome the temptations.

I’m SO enjoying the new jenny --fetch-context 😁

Oh boy! I think I stumbled upon a Terminal Candy Shop! 🤤 “Terminal Trove”

@quark@ferengi.one LOL we repair everything in here 😆 … I just have a problem with trusting people with my stuff because of past experiences. “Better a half broken screen than no screen” kind of thing.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I have no Idea, I still haven’t found a repair shop I can trust with my monitor. As for the blackouts, they don’t have consistent frequency. Sometimes it’s once every 3 months… other times it’s 3 times a day 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just went in a case b) on @abucci@anthony.buc.ci ’s pod, if I click on their nickname I get a Log-in page. And if I click on anyone else’s I a profile page. Is that normal?

@quark@ferengi.one We’re having a nice day out here, Clear sky, 26.2 °C (altough it feels like a ~30 °C) … no storms! And the most annoying thing is, THIS happens to my monitor whenever there is a power outage:

Image

With each one a row of pixels gets chipped out … and no I can’t afford a UPS at the moment.

Throw your “Get rich quick” plans at me, I wanna be able to afford suing somebody/something about this. 😂 It’s not the first time that this happened and I’m sure it’s not gonna be the last.

POWER EFFIN’ OUTAGE!!! Electricity came back after ~10 min like… no beggie BUT, Internet stayed out for like 2 more hrs 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, but the thing is, I don’t even remember when/how/why I got to bed yesterday 😅

/ME is confused.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Now, the Question is: Who’s body was in the garbage bag!? 😏😂

Good Morning, 30 min till Sunrise.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Didn’t know there was a yarnd IRC channel!! hopping in to say Hi 😁

@Yarns@search.twtxt.net An oopsie? 🥳😂

@bender@twtxt.net yeah, I think so as well. Hell I can’t even get myself to upload much media files on the fedi-platforms knowing they’ll be hosted out of someone else’s pocket, someone with no ROI in mind but other’s freedom of expression.

@bender@twtxt.net What multiplexer do you use? I usually use Tmux and have my prefix mapped to C-a on my local machine and the default C-b on the remote ones so they don’t conflict if it helps.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have no clue TBH

@prologic@twtxt.net I wouldn’t mind that for the bigger images, although, my main problem is with the scrappers and other platforms that nuke my RPi whenever I post a link out there… yes! I mean Mastodon 😆

BTW! I’ve just white listed twtxt.net … you should be able to see the embedded image by now.

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s a Clownflare option to prevent images on your website from being embedded on other websites. It helps with my low bandwidth resources. And I believe you can set-up similar rules with Nginx, I’m just too lazy to do it manually RN.

CF Docs on Hotlink Protection

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Alacritty.

@prologic@twtxt.net I think I have hotlinking disabled somewhere … I’ll try and fix it this evening.

you’ll probably get an Error 1011 🤦 … just copy and paste the link in a new tab if you can Screenshot of neomutt running Jenny

@bender@twtxt.net My index formatting is intact, probably because I still haven’t figured out how to set up my terminal to show RTL text correctly! 😅 but hey, that won’t be a problem anymore, I don’t feel like twting in Arabic. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Image

@movq@www.uninformativ.de A family member gave me their old (pseudo-)smart phone and it had all kinds of pre-installed BS that you’re not supposed to be able to uninstall, Xiaomi, FB, google… you name it. but guess what!? I already know about this Trick and then there is the Rethink DNS/Firewall app I have setup to block all traffic then allow the stuff I need with an Allow, Bypass or Exclude rule.

You’d be surprised to see how much traffic is going to blocked!! 🤣

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net I, can’t function. 😂

En: Have your coffee in peace ☕🕊

A short term goal

إحتس قهوتك بسلام ☕🕊

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Amen! 🙏😆

@prologic@twtxt.net the whole thing took less than 2 min 🤣

Back!

Just in case Clownflare throws a couple of 5xx errors at your requests, I’m rebooting. See ya in a couple of seconds!

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Nothing can beat AI powered rice cooker! 😜

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org I do like to think of that recommendation as sarcastic stab at twt-errr’s rules 😉 so, IMO the more a twt exceeds the recommended limit the merrier! 😂

@prx@si3t.ch ROFL. 🤣 Come on! That’s evil. At least give them cup of hot chocolate, make it a win-win.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de HAHA 😂 How come I’ve never seen that one before!? Weeeeeeeeeeeeehehehe 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Milk crates aren’t that practical to be honest. Especially when you have a nosy cat around. 😂 but it was worth a try.

@prologic@twtxt.net There is a Typo in the link! is it intentional? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net HAHA! Couldn’t say it better. I started abandoning main stream social media as soon as is it stopped feeling like connecting and sharing with other human beings and became an urge for feeding an algorithm and hoping for it’s blessing to get a glimpse of human interaction It deems worthy of having.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de A good slogan for an ad: “Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! a hell of a bang for your buck!” 😂

Why buy a Standing Desk when you can just set up a cardboard box on your regular desk for your keyboard and a milk crate for your monitor? 😆

@xuu@txt.sour.is foo who? 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net Remember when we used to lose access to e-mail, IM and forum accounts after 30 days of inactivity? 😂 … Then storage became cheaper and companies figured out that any tiny bit of someone’s data is worth something to someone(thing) else. 🥲

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m using CF Tunnel on a raspberry pi, can’t do direct at the moment.

@grumpy@grumpygordie.great-site.net Umm… If you haven’t already, you can give this Jenny + Mutt setup a try, you’ll probably (I mean definitely) love it. Nice to meet you by the way! 🫡

@prologic@twtxt.net Probably has something to do with how the nickname is set up, It starts with a capital letter and has a white space. I couldn’t fetch their feed until I fixed that in my ‘follow’ file. But I dunno, maybe it’s just me…

@prologic@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I checked my logs and all I see are 304 responses and a couple of delayed requests here and there due to rate limiting, but not that many. I’ll disable it (the rate limiting) for a couple of days, let me know if you still get the ‘forbidden access’ thing 🫣 I may have effed up my configuration trying to deal with some weird stuff.

@prologic@twtxt.net I am! 😅 I’ll check my logs and see if there’s something I can do about that!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I bet it was! These kinds of sunset shots (with colorful delicious clouds in motion… etc) have always been candy to my eyes. And I know for a fact that the real thing usually looks ten folds better than in pictures (at least in the ones I used to take). Thank you for sharing these!

Thank “Human Goodness” for the Gutenberg Project and all the books I’ll get to immerse myself into, especially in such hard times 🙏

@prologic@twtxt.net LOL Thanks to you, even I started using signal.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de TBH I don’t like Matrix… It feels a bit messy, my conversations and servers I join tend to get mangled, some stuff tend to have some sub-stuff… etc. I don’t hate it though, because I know I may have been using it wrong.

But hey, have you ever tried Databag ? Your family might get a better user experience with this one.

@hecanjog@hecanjog.com Enjoy it while it lasts… it’s been hot as hell in here in the last couple of days.

@johanbove@johanbove.info Did they produce a new season or you’re just catching up with the old ones? It has been ages since the last time I’ve watched any of it.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know if there is/will be a Crowdsec bouncer to handle something like that. 🤔

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club That’s actually awesome! Happy seeing the pace at which it’s starting to pick up momentum as far as getting more eyes on the project, especially after the “Ladybird Browser Initiative” announcement, that surely got a lot more people talking.

I don’t remember who was looking for a way to block A.I bots/scrappers. But here’s an article by Cloudflare “Declare your AIndependence: block AI bots, scrapers and crawlers with a single click” offering a way to do so even for the ones spoofing their User-Agent and such.

@prx@si3t.ch A banger! 🤘

@bender@twtxt.net YES! They’ll be sucking on a 1000GB Lollipop per request! 😂 I bet their VPS providers will be happy! VERY happy!

Eyes on logs… Waiting for the first s-kiddo to knock on my door. Got a Huge treat, just for them. *wink*

Hey @movq@www.uninformativ.de !! here’s an article you might find interesting: Blocking Bots with Nginx … this person is actually blocking AI Bots based on a list of User Agents in an interesting way. 👍

@bender@twtxt.net Actually the video is a reaction to: HTMX Sucks that is originally an essay by Carson Gross (the creator) in the “The worse-is-better design philosophy” and what not style. So No, it isn’t … or at least not in the sense one would get from such a title. 😄

@prologic@twtxt.net Watched that one the other day after seeing that much chatter about #HTMX on the feed. And now I’m watching HTMX Sucks - Youtube by the same person (or should I say people?) 😂

Edit: Its* main… etc.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de A Honest response: As far as I’m concerned, It’s main feature is … I’m bored and ready to try anything that crosses my path, might learn a thing or two along the way. 😅

Some(one/thing) is going Berserk at my web server and some of their requests are "GET /etc/shadow HTTP/1.1" and "GET /.ssh/id_ed25519 HTTP/1.1" … I think they should try and POST some kind of sudo rm -rf /* while they’re at it; it would be funnier.

@prologic@twtxt.net Can’t pin point what changed and I’m not sure if it’s some placebo effect or something but it feels quite nice! 😂👍✨

I’m still alive ! Here’s a quick, brainless recap dump before I switch back to the other side:

• Been daily driving FreeBSD on the o(ther)ld machine for the last couple of days.
  
• Read through the handbook, played around with jails, pulled on my hair because of network issues (I think I might have maybe fixed that) … etc.
  
• Still procrastinating over migrating my Jenny/Mutt setup out there. until then, I’ll be getting my Twtxt fix reading through conversations over on the twtxt.net ✌
  
• Gave a couple of Nostr based platforms a try, it was … not for me to say the least.
  
• Started learning Emacs (I know, I’m in trouble LOL) and might even start twtin’ from there instead.

@bmallred@staystrong.run yep! it’s all good now! 👍

@prx@si3t.ch J’espère que vous allez bien. Et c’est fous comme histoire, j’ai vu exactement la même sur BFM ce matain où le conducteur âgé (70 ans et quelques si je me rappelle bien) impliqué dans l’accident a fini par percuter quelqu’un d’autre quelques minutes après le premier accident.

@bmallred@staystrong.run No I was trying the other one I got from logs, it’s missing the /user subdirectory:

"GET /twtxt.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 27110 "-" "nahongvita/0.1.0 (+https://staystrong.run/bmallred/twtxt.txt; @bmallred)"

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thank you!

@prologic@twtxt.net Not anymore LOL

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It looks like this one actually reads the robots.txt … it did a couple of times over the past few weeks.

“GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1” 304 0 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; GPTBot/1.0; +https://openai.com/gptbot)”

@bender@twtxt.net well… reading through This I can but wonder if it is defending anything at all…

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, that’s just sad! I’d hoped it would be as much of nice experience as it is around here…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve been using Qwant for a while but it was down earlier today (as well 😆) so I switched back to my trusty Searx Redirector

… This utility forwards your search query to one of 11 random volunteer-run public servers to thwart mass surveillance.

Hello @bmallred@staystrong.run I hope you’re doing well.
I dunno if it’s normal, but it seems like I am unable to access your twtxt.tx file… 😅

Oh Look!! There’s a Twtxt #IRC channel ! 😃

@bender@twtxt.net yes! That’s how I ended up doing it after a bit of trial and error with a couple of VMs 👍

Holly insert inappropriate word here ! 🤣 I have finally done it !!!

FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0 releng/14.0-n265380-f9716eee8ab4: Fri Nov 10 05:57:23 UTC 2023

Welcome to FreeBSD!

% pkg update
The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.
Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]:

A freshly installed #FreeBSD Over SSH, thanks to mfsBSD !

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just discovered @thecanine@twtxt.net and @iolfree@tilde.club ’s feeds. I believe you already know of them 👍

Ouiiiiii… two more interesting feeds to follow! 🤩
Hi everyone!

Wait a minute! Nyxt browser can surf gopher, gemini aaaaaand http!? 😲

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I have this one as per some article I read some time ago… But just like the robots.txt I don’t think you have any grantee that it would be honored, you might even have a better chance hunting for and blocking user-agents.

@prx@si3t.ch there is this ImageGoNord thing I’d found reading an Eww Bar article a couple of months ago… It lets you convert a wallpaper/image to conform to a color pallet, hope you fine it useful.

@prologic@twtxt.net Wait! That’s actually a Mastodon(.)social one! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net LOL fare enough! I’ll keep that in mind fir future twts … I hope invidious instances are ok 🤣

Sorry not sorry ranger…

SuperFile a Pretty fancy and modern terminal file manager written in #go.

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks! I’ll definitely need it !!

… So it’s gonna be either a:

• Find a way to do a Chroot install a la Chad Arch Linux way, on a portion of the disk space while I’m Ssh-ing in and then whip out the old debian installation if all goes well.
  
• or a YOLO automated/unattended install.
  

Either way, I’m ready to deal with the eff up! Because I’ve never done none of that before… 😂

What’s all of this about? one may ask…

Well I’ve been itching to toy around with a BSD on actual hardware and away from the comfort of VMs. NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD… It doesn’t matter. I just want to “Make it feel… Make it feel alive AGAIN!”

I’ve ripped off it’s GPU about a year ago to rescue another computer … Now I’m stuck with only SSH to play with it. Since it came with just a VGA port for display and my monitor takes all but THAT!
