2025-08-25T15:11:50Z	Instagram is shit, Bluesky is corporate, and Mastodon is...okay, but not fantastic. Maybe twtxt is what I'm after...
2025-08-25T22:43:58Z	♩ Is there anybody out there? ♩
2025-08-25T23:15:22Z	Assuming I configured this right, my twtxt should now also be available over Gemini!
2025-08-25T23:38:44Z	Apparently twtxt wasn't the right client to use. twet seems to be alright, though.
2025-08-26T00:03:40Z	(#bevyqgq) Yep! Seems to work!
2025-08-26T11:21:23Z	(#hzbwhuq) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> At this rate, I'm going to be carrying a feature phone in a few years' time.
2025-08-26T14:09:00Z	(#osfyxka) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> Yay!
2025-08-26T21:58:58Z	Since 2020, I've been putting together one playlist every year, in which each track represents one month of that year. However, I also have assigned each season two specific songs, which do not change year-to-year: Spring: "A Little Bit Of Love" by Weezer and "Gretel" by Alex G; Summer: "Dumb" by Roe Kapara and "Endless Bummer" by Weezer; Autumn: "1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins and "The Dead Come Talking" by Roe Kapara; Winter: "Red Water (Christmas Mourning)" by Type O Negative and "Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)" by The Darkness
2025-08-26T22:18:27Z	(#bunbmvq) This would have been neater, but evidently my client foesn't support multiline posts.
2025-08-26T22:21:04Z	(#3v5elqa) Also not sure why this post is duplicated on twtxt.net. Ah, well...
2025-08-27T08:22:27Z	(#52esljq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Hi!
2025-08-27T21:34:22Z	You know, I think I do actually like it here better than my other social media. It's slower and quieter, but it feels more organic and nobody's trying to sell me anything, promote their podcast, or change the way I think. It's just... nice!
2025-08-27T21:50:38Z	So, in addition to HTTPS and Gemini, my twtxt should now also be available over Gopher (gopher://hashnix.club:70/0/~dce/twtxt.txt). Not sure who, if anyone, would need this; but since my tilde provides Gopher hosting, I'd may as well mirror my twtxt there as well.
2025-08-28T20:05:26Z	(#o3ru4sa) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> Why the fuck do they think people need that‽ Most people don't even use regular tab groups, and now they want to shoehorn an ML model in there as well‽
2025-08-28T21:39:27Z	It might just be my client, but it seems that I cannot track multiple URLs at once. As such, all three of my twtxt URLs will work for following, but mentions will only reach me at my HTTPS URL (https://hashnix.club/~dce/twtxt.txt). If there is a client that can cope with twtxt mirrors, I would love to know about it.
2025-08-28T21:40:17Z	(#olsdv7a) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt>
2025-08-29T12:34:51Z	(#ohgzbaa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> My metadata only has my HTTPS URL. I didn't consider having multiple. I was talking about my config.yaml. Jenny sounds like a good client, so I might give that a try.
2025-08-29T12:39:06Z	(#3g4yrqa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> My feed should be fixed now
2025-08-29T16:25:02Z	(#6uc4zla) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I love a good drink. What kind of wine is it?
2025-08-30T09:28:41Z	(#m47speq) @<thecanine https://twtxt.net/user/thecanine/twtxt.txt> I hate it when businesses do this. As well as being annoying and unreliable, Microsoft software is known to have a hell of a lot of security vulnerabilities, and the AI features increase the attack surface. One can use a client like Thunderbird for the email, but Teams doesn't really have an alternative. Awful stuff.
2025-08-31T15:24:01Z	(#sux32qq) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> I heard about a defence against badly-behaved crawlers a while ago: an HTML zip bomb. [This post](https://ache.one/notes/html_zip_bomb) explains how to do it. Essentially, web servers can serve compressed versions of webpages and, with a little trickery, one can replace the compressed page with a different file. After that, any bot that tries to crawl the page will instead download and unpack a zip bomb that will cause it to crash.
2025-09-01T08:19:46Z	Welp, my rent's gone out and my student loan won't be in for another week, so I'm not spending anything for a while. How's everyone else's September going?
2025-09-01T22:05:30Z	(#mbkirkq) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> Sounds cool! I think I'll also have a go...
2025-09-04T11:11:08Z	(#ma6x3ka) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> That's rather a nice phlog right there. Really enjoyed reading it.
2025-09-05T11:19:08Z	I have a late-2010s ThinkPad running OpenBSD, but it's about as fast as a snail carrying heavy shopping through molasses. I'd like to run something other than Linux, for variety, but the other members of the BSD family failed for various reasons. What OS do you guys think I should try?
2025-09-05T16:59:23Z	(#77l7y6a) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> I'm looking for an OS that runs better than Windows (🤮) and through which I can do basic stuff like read RSS feeds and browse geminispace; but which I can also learn from.
2025-09-06T10:09:14Z	(#2y5lbaq) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> It's a T400 with 8GB of RAM and an SSD.
2025-09-06T10:45:05Z	(#fvvdrjq) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> Whoa! That's cool!
2025-09-07T21:08:29Z	(#ukdtj7q) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> Whoa! Nice shots! I'm supposed to be able to see it from where I am right now, but it doesn't look particularly red yet. Always love a good eclipse...
2025-09-07T21:12:46Z	Thanks to a blog post by ~solderpunk and the presence of ImageMagick on my pubnix, all of my weirdcore art (apart from the animated works) is now under 32K in size! Honestly, I'd say the lower JPEG quality actually adds to the vibe of the images: something from the early web, taken permanently out of context and long forgotten.
2025-09-07T21:20:41Z	(#2wvfbdq) gopher://hashnix.club:70/1/~dce/art/
2025-09-09T11:43:17Z	(#nohbfvq) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> That sounds pretty cool. Have you heard of an artist called The Night Monitor before? https://thenightmonitor.bandcamp.com/
2025-09-10T11:32:59Z	(#fxnr6ya) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> I would call it "dark ambient". It's a broad genre, but one I rather like.
2025-10-14T23:03:12Z	Well, it sure has been a while since I last posted here. Just up late doing yet another Linux installation. Debian turned out to be about as stable as a plutonium Jenga tower, and Alpine refused to boot, so I gave it the boot. Here's to hoping that Arch fares better. Oddly, I've always found Arch to be considerably more stable than other distros...
2025-10-18T19:47:07Z	Random question: does anyone here happen to know anything about retro hacking?
