(#xlmf4ga) And with my personal site mentioned at the beginning of this thread, one day I've been tempted to put it on a self-hosted solar powered mini-server, akin to (https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/). In which case there could be little bits of downtime anyway. 2021-08-31 03:22:43
(#xlmf4ga) @adi Yeah it has email and even SMS warning notices when the credit gets under a certain amount, and I think you can even customize the amounts that "trips" the warnings. It's not a bad system. Just sometimes, admittedly, I've been slack to fund the account, even if it's just a day here and there. To answer @mckinley 's question though, I easily go through at least $5 per month, but then again technically I have at least 3 sites on the one account. If they were sites that had to absolutely be online all the time I'd worry about it more. 2021-08-31 03:20:38
Also if my site (https://andrewjvpowell.com/) is ever down, it's no problem. It's hosted on nearlyfreespeech.net, which is pay as you go basically, so if it's down it's just cos I need to add some credits :P 2021-08-30 15:15:53
@adi (#xgppxvq) I'm not actually sure, I don't think it ever said which one it was, but as per @prologic 's advice I'll update it to one of my active emails anyway. If it was a bug that certainly explains why no email I tried was working. 2021-08-30 15:11:29
@prologic (#vab6mdq) Thank you! Good to be back :D 2021-08-30 09:33:50
(#xgppxvq) @prologic Yeah, because Goryon was still logged in (oddly enough, it would have usually signed out automatically by now) I was able to use it to change my password haha. Stroke of good fortune there. 2021-08-30 09:33:30
(#xgppxvq) thanks for the email too @adi . I had to dig it out of Spam or I would have seen it days ago. 2021-08-30 04:43:53
(#xgppxvq) sorry guys, I'm very much alive. Honestly I forgot my password and also which email I signed up with... tried all the ones I normally use, nada. Anyway apparently my Goryon was still logged in on my phone so that saved the day. Lol. 2021-08-30 04:42:35
(#dush4za) i still don't 'get' NFTs 😂 2021-06-16 04:18:23
@prologic (#w7qz4ta) very true, and easy for me to forget. I'm Tasmanian and we've had it pretty good here, being an island i suppose. 2021-06-09 13:29:31
@prologic (#w7qz4ta) yeah i hear ya, and thanks 😊 i guess social media platforms such as this one are fine as long as, ideally, there's a good amount of actual human interaction, both on the platform and in real life. We are social creatures after all, even if to different degrees. 2021-06-07 08:11:01
I'm not gone, I just haven't been on really any form of social media lately. Not intentionally in the case of twtxt... just I guess I've been a bit tuned out of anything online except for the essentials. Kind of an online 'detox' lol. 2021-06-06 02:17:22
(#2eing7q) Disingenuous headline. What I saw in his statement looked like an apology to me, as well as an honest self-reflection. What more do people want. The witch-hunt needs to stop, and in general I am sick to death of news headlines being twisted to have a slanted take on a subject before the reader even reads the content. 2021-04-13 03:53:23
(#w23etoa) A Google product shutting down... wow what a shocker LOL 2021-04-13 00:27:02
(#alastnq) the effects are hilariously bad 😂 2021-04-06 03:25:44
@adi (#fwlweuq) I'm just saying that absolutely nobody is perfect, in a general sense. And mobs pushing to put others down or "cancel" them based on something they once online said eons ago is a bad path, though there's always exceptions. Regarding Stallman though, i dont necessarily disagree with him not being suited to leadership roles simply because he doesnt exactly make a good spokesman or public facing figure, but thats the main reason. Most of this smells of software corporates wanting to get rid of a very outspoken opponent and some SJWs jumping on for the ride. Just my opinion. 2021-03-29 04:16:07
(#fwlweuq) cancel culture is absolutely a thing IMO. The standards pushed online by the puritans will never hold up as humans are flawed and will always make mistakes, so this cancel anyone for so much as having an ill opinion or thinking differently trend is extremely dangerous IMO. And no doubt bad actors will use it to their advantage for ulterior motives. 2021-03-27 10:30:26
A calm, reasoned take on the Stallman situation (some language warning as the creator doesn't mind dropping an F-bomb now and then): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLHxY-QsQkQ 2021-03-27 01:08:28
(#r6vhpma) More like Masochist Linux haha 2021-03-25 01:24:24
@slashdot (#ns65ywa) of course, more addicting features 2021-03-24 22:54:58
(#gcw2syq) I would be surprised if RMS was transphobic and such, given he's all about the gender neutral pronouns etc, but maybe I missed something. 2021-03-24 07:45:51
(#gcw2syq) RMS and I would probably be so far apart politically speaking, and probably various other issues, but I really respect the man, and would never want him 'cancelled'. He's hard to deal with, often seemingly extreme in his views, but he's important IMO. He provides a necessary balance in a world where a lot of people are all too willing to give up basic freedoms and privacy. 2021-03-24 06:18:19
(#wcsy4ma) Count me in the Vera Farmiga fan club :p And yes I think I know of the movie you mean. That the one where the teen girl touches LITERALLY everything in the spooky house? Couldn't stop shaking my head at that lol! 2021-03-21 00:58:13
(#2secgrq) talk about a murderer dancing on a grave haha 2021-03-11 17:18:17
@slashdot@prologic (#nad2fta) it makes me more angry than most big business decisions have lately. Libraries have existed for time immemorial with their lending model and it's a major part of learning and free access to information. Amazon are the worst. 2021-03-10 23:05:36
(#k3qmxgq) Okay I mangled the code formatting in the twt, but hopefully you get the idea 2021-03-09 23:55:35
(#k3qmxgq) Good thing about keeping things simple is there’s so many possible ways to do things yourself. In a case where even mkws would be slightly overkill (or at least I don’t need pp) I basically just do this: `for i in $dir/*.html; do<br>echo "Making $i..."<br>cat templates/header-begin.html ${i%.html}.meta templates/header-end.html $i templates/footer.html > public/$i<br>done<br><br>Then my working directory looks like index.html index.meta about-us.html about-us.meta` etc etc. 2021-03-09 23:54:54
@adi (#xwawtja) I hear that. That and not watching an unexpected amount of dependencies get pulled in after installing some supposedly simple tool with npm. 2021-03-09 09:42:45
@Dilbert (#lbto4ga) Okay that was brilliant. 2021-03-08 01:06:28
@prologic @movq @adi (#fw4vzga) Void Linux is actually my main OS, good little distro though the repo mirrors can be a bit out of sync sometimes 2021-03-07 08:04:33
@adi@mckinley (#gmlphva) wrt single quotes , for example inside meta tags, I just use ". 2021-03-05 07:23:14
@adi (#gmlphva) I agree with @mckinley in regards to mkws being fine the way it is. For mine it also helps differentiate it from all the other SSGs out there. 2021-03-05 07:21:08
(#juf7kpa) @prologic Haha yeah I hear ya. In my case it's simply twts I don't want to forget about that have helpful hints, I guess in this case really about coding matters. That's probably the main thing one could draw from it! 2021-03-05 04:28:48
(#ii5fobq) The purist in me still wants to properly learn good old C before thinking about Go. 2021-03-05 04:00:20
(#e6gh33a) Yup, almost feels like they're insulting our intelligence. 2021-03-04 21:38:40
@lobste_rs (#q2v7urq) Interesting. Anytime Google and the word privacy are mentioned in the same sentence I can't help but be skeptical though. 2021-03-04 07:44:17
@prologic@adi (#msgkguq) to me it's one of those "because you can" kinda thing 2021-03-04 03:22:27
(#p24jahq) but yes, looking forward to the rebranding 👍 2021-03-04 00:58:00
@prologic (#p24jahq) i would like to host my own pod at some point. Not sure how the migration would go but with the simplicity of twtxt.txt I imagine if wouldn't be hard. 2021-03-04 00:56:00
(#p24jahq) it's all good mate. I wasn't even worried, I think because A. you've mentioned it's self hosted before and B. overall yeah we're decentralised. It's nice not having that anxiety one might get from a big silo when they have downtime, wondering if they've finally kicked the bucket and all your data is gone. 2021-03-03 22:55:22
(#hvygjbq) I like it, very Suckless 2021-03-03 22:52:35
@adi (#cqzsjsq) I actually think mkws would handle that many articles quite well, as long as no inefficient loops are used like I did with my twtxt.txt parsing originally. 2021-03-03 09:52:52
@adi (#cqzsjsq) Markdown with some sort of custom front matter. Not quite YAML but in that style. 2021-03-03 09:51:17
