@bender I just babble on Twtxt 🤣 I honestly find that I don't realy have the time nor the energy to "blog" in full really, I rarely do 😢

@movq why Gopher to babble, and not just HTTP? I mean, may as well just write plain text files on your machine, and leave them there, right?

Gopher and Mastodon are two completely different things. That’s where my confusion comes from.

@movq Me too 😅 -- Speaking of which i know you've lost a bit of "mojo" or "energy" (so have i of late), rest assured, I want to keep the status quo here with what we've built, keep it simple and change very little. What we've built has worked very well for 5+ years and we have at least 3 very strong clients (maybe 4 or 5?).

@movq Ahh but it kind of is mine 😅 Or at least I've done this kind of thing at least 3 or 4 times now 🤣

@bender yes but my point is my handcrafted set up also achieves the same thing 🤣

@prologic do you remember Hamachi? Tailscale/Headscale is Hamachi on steroids. They are used primarily for creating a VPN among all your devices so they can talk to one another as if they were on the same LAN, even when they're not. That was, mostly, my WireGuard usage.

I still have WireGuard running—because it is so lite that it doesn’t matter—to use as regular VPN, but Headscale keeps all my devices connected forming their own “mini-Internet” 100% of the time.

@bender What's awesome about it btw? I use WireGuard pretty heavily here. And my entire family also use it to keep a VPN connection back to our home network

@movq Considered building your own language and compiler? 🤔

@movq This was always my belief too re likes, etc.

@movq how does Gopher relates to Mastodon? Are you getting off the Fedi completely?

@movq the Rock Dove has some seriously sly eyes! LOL.

@prologic Tailscale is awesome! I run Headscale; it replaced my vanilla WireGuard install.

Great article from Tailscale about how security policies we've often seen in many large complex organizations that we all love to hate don't actually provide the security that we assumed.

@prologic will do. No worries, not a show stopper. I will suggest that the muted numbered list not be sorted, but latest muted first. That way we have a better idea. Maybe adding timestamps to those too? Just a thought.

@bender remind me to look into this a bit later because I'm starting to suspect there's a weird behavior in the system 🧐

In reply to: #ya2mlqq 3 weeks ago

Scratch that, 48 muted feeds!

@prologic don't remember now. I have 46 muted feeds. :'-(

In reply to: #ya2mlqq 3 weeks ago

@bender Which one?

In reply to: #ya2mlqq 3 weeks ago

I swear that I have muted all the cat's feeds already. Yet, a new(?) one popped up.

@bender @aelaraji Sorry this was my fault 🤦 For whatever reason my pod had never seen that particular Twt from @movq -- And... There's a bit of a "behavioral" problem with the Trusted Peers functionality that means operators have to periodically re-trust peers manually 😭 Need to rework this 🤞

@aelaraji all good now. Phew!

@kat awwww, wish I could help you with that! Is there anything people could do to help you manage it?

In reply to: #2g4njtq 4 weeks ago

Hmm, something isn't right.

In reply to: #a23wqyq 4 weeks ago

@aelaraji I saw the original fine, but your reply (and mine!) show disconnected here. Hmm, "the plot thickens!" :-D Thanks!

@kat toally forgiven, and welcome back! :-) What's new? Tell us all about it!

@aelaraji I am missing the root for this twtxt. What was it? Hmm, referring to https://twtxt.net/twt/g5sjnlq.

@lyse LOL. I barely use my mother tongue. 😫

@movq oh, you bet someone is adding them. Being as we are a small community, I could almost guess who added what. 😅

In reply to: #u3gqclq 1 month ago

@lyse I am so tempted to agree with you on this one. There has to be a way to manage that without having to mute the bejesus out of them.

@thecanine with this you meant Conversations, not XMPP, right?

"Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!"

On QRs, as long as they work (and they are quite resilient), it doesn’t matter. Their design, and colours, will be based on theme in which they are included. They are getting used more now in the US. They are king on East Asia. They are awesome.

@movq this is mind boggling. How come it looks just fine under Mosaic, and not under IE3? Man, am I glad I don't use a Microsoft browser!

Almost sure it would look even better if you removed CSS altogether for IE3, and the like. Your site is clean as a whistle, just vanilla, no CSS.

I'm finding this very interesting... An evolved neural network that plays the game of tic-tac-toe and so far is a pretty decent player. Here is a visualization of it's evolved "brain" that underwent GA (genetic algorithm) training with classification learning + self-play.

@bender Well it's really just for other fellow humans that might not know better and what Microsoft does with your hard™ work 🤣

In reply to: #3sp2kka 1 month ago
bender (twtxt.net)

@prologic yeah, that will work perfectly. Because you are using “please”—which we all know is a magic talisman word of obedience—all uploads of your code to Github will be automatically paused, until such magic word is removed. 😂

In reply to: #3sp2kka 1 month ago

No Github

Please don't upload my code on Github!

I'm thinking about putting this up on all my projects and even on the front page of my Gitea instance 🤔
