Wow, so pretty, dude! The one you used on this twt (tiny photo too, not sure what happened here) doesnāt make justice to the entire set. Very good clicks there!
Since I finally configured X11 in this VM for shenanigans ā¦
The original tuXeyes running in a SuSE Linux 6.4 VM and my clone from 2017 (which does not depend on a now ancient version of Qt):
Went on a 20-25km long hike yesterday. Birds were beautifully singing, the lovely smell of freshly cut grass was in the air and the terror of rotary mowers reached my ear constantly. It was a bit cloudy, but the sun peaked through every now and then. Really a wonderful day to be outside. About 21Ā°C and some wind.
Damn it! My camera battery didnāt charge, so all the nice deer and tad pole in a puddle imagery did not work out. :-( I saw two pairs of ears showing in the grass. Suddenly, three deer took off. One went straight into the strip of trees nearby and back behind me into the woods. The other two ran more into the meadow and then alongside the path I was taking. They unexpectedly overtook me and crossed in front of me to the other pasture. Then they headed back into the forest like rockets. Holy cow, they were super fast. Really amazing to watch. Battery flattended after the second of video I recorded in the beginning.

Iād also be very interested to hear what some other users of yarnd
have to say, sadly there are only a handful of pods around that Iām aware of and/or that peer with my pod (twtxt.net) š¢
Maybe Yarn.social/Twtxt has become boring or too niche? š¤ Anyway cc @eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com @xuu@txt.sour.is @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @abucci@anthony.buc.ci
Hah š¤£ @dfaria Your @dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu feed really does consume about >50% of a āDiscoverā search with filters āWithout repliesā and āHide my postsā. š¤£ 36/2 = 18
at 25 Twts per page, thatās about ~72% of the search/view real estate youāre taking up! wow š¤© ā Iād be very interested to hear what ideas you have to improve this? Those search filters were created so you could sift through either your own Timeline or the Discover view easily.
Thereās also a pod-level setting (admins) that control what the āDiscoverā (or front page if youāre not logged in) display:
This is either:
- Local posts only (local to the pod)
- All posts in the podās cache
One of the problems I have with changing the way the āDiscoverā view works whilst at the same time keeping it ācleanā (depending on who you talk to) is the behaviour between āTimelineā (what you follow explicitly) and āDiscoverā (a view into the podās cache). See attached, where I by default prefer a ācollapsedā view (hiding replies). The default behaviour for Discover (no controls) is āeverythingā.
The reason I bring this up is that part of my āworkflowā has become to occasionally use the āDiscoverā view to see if Iāve missed any āin-betweenā replies that often happen, find new interesting folks to follow and/or interact with, etc.
Changing this to anything but the current behaviour would break this flow for me š¢
@prologic and @bender for a start a single user twtxt/yarn pod could look like this š
This happens more often than I would like. š¢
@bender Get well soon!
(And thanks for not being one of those āitās just a coldā guys.)
One of the super frustrating things about this: I have to write lots of documents, but I am required to use horrendous software to do that. It cannot even number sections automatically, nor can you insert cross-references to other sections. Simple stuff like that. It all has to be done manually.
Even Word 97 could do shit like that ā¦

Microsoft is a security risk
Went out in the cold and noticed that taking photos half an hour on top of the drafty summit is not the very best idea. Not suprising that I freeze if there is snow. Gloves would have been actually great, I only wore my beanie. But it was a very good afternoon and evening. Looking at the snowmen, there must have been heaps of snow on the ground earlier this day.
I came across several different birds and two deer. 36-38 shows the same one, one meadow further, another deer jumped across the road. That was cool.
The focus often wanted to do its own thing, unfortunately. 25 shows the flatness of the Kaiserbergsteige (literally āEmperor Mountain Steep Roadā).
The wording can be more subtle like āThis feed have not seen much activity within the last yearā and maybe adding a UI like I did in timeline showing time ago for all feeds
I agree that it good to clean up the Mastodon re-feeds, but it should also be okay for anyone to spin up a twtxt.txt just for syndicating they stuff from blog or what ever.
The ānot receiving repliesā could partly be fixed by implementing a working webmentions for twtxt.txt
@prologic@twtxt.net canāt
see it depending on how you open the file, but itās there. Hereās a
screenshot with: ābatā vs ācatā vs ātwtxt view {link}ā :
@bender This is what I fell over and bunged up my shin š±
@prologic Thank
you! and hereās a twt with the said random characters, since Iāve been
cleaning them up manually, earlier before scp-ing my twtxt.txt file. And
maybe a screenshot of how things look in my editor?
Those new lines are added automatically as I type (except for the ones
after the screenshot.
@bendwr and I discussing something along the lines of: I.e: How to deal with or reduce noise from legacy feeds.

Welcome @aelaraji@aelaraji.com!
What the heck is going on with the encoding here?! The feedās Content-Type
header does not include any charset, but Iām still relying on the official twtxt client to fetch and parse feeds. Havenāt noticed this with any other feeds. Where in the chain is this messed up? :-? Seems like the āspaceā is the Unicode line separator U+2028, that we use for newlines.
We have great April weather over here. Yesterday sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, hail, sun, hail, sun, rain, etc. It didnāt hail today, but sun alternatd with rain a bunch of times. Went out this evening and boy, what an absolutely gorgeous scenery!
