I’m starting to embrace containers on my PC for software I want to use once without littering my home folder with junk files. It’s nice.

In-reply-to » I made some improvements to the Twtxt Search service tonight. Hopefully this update makes it a bit easier to use and resolves some of your critical pieces of feedback @lyse 🤞 The main idea being that by default the search is basically a "Query String" type search, meaning that it does what you expect. If you search for a simple term, it'll do that, If you enclose your search term in "double quotes" it'll search for that phrase. If you then want to search against specific fields you can do so with mentions:prologic@twtxt.net for example. I hope this makes the useability much better 👌

@prologic Nice!

Btw. the versions in the search.twtxt.net and twtxt.net footers are both a bit wonky now. 8-)

In-reply-to » Heya folks 👋 For those of you that have accounts on my pod (twtxt.net), I'm going to be deleting 235 accounts today: https://gist.mills.io/prologic/0381c79977384051bb0b4afc89b4893d

@prologic FWIW, at least five feeds were not empty. But their feeds still looked dead, since the last posts were from 2020 and 2021. So that was probably before the date of last login was recorded.

Btw. how many accounts are there currently on twtxt.net? https://twtxt.net/user/stats/twtxt.txt looks like a grave, too. :-D

In-reply-to » QOTD: How large is your shell history? No history, 500 lines, 10'000, 100'000, something else?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de wc -l .zsh_history gives me 7100. That’s surprisingly a bit more than I thought. I used to regularly clear new stuff by hand and keep important commands to about twenty-something. I don’t recall the numbers anymore.

In-reply-to » Started my day with getting all the materials I need to build a deck, dog yard will be built on top of that. That way our dog can be outside by himself when we go out and do stuff etc, gonna be nice!

@bender@twtxt.net haha yeah. he’s never been free to roam the house when we are away, he’s either with us - or in his big crate in our bedroom (he’s not in there for long, just when he cannot be with us in the car etc). So it’s going to be damn nice to have a safe place for him outside. We fenced our garden in last year, he’s been there a lot when we are home, he loves it a lot (especially during winter). But we cannot have him there when we’re not home. But with the new dog yard thing - he can stay there without me worrying.

In-reply-to » One great feature of Vim (and probably other editors) is “keyword completion”: Type the beginning of a word, then press Ctrl-N and Vim will give autocompletion options by scanning all the words in the current file. For example, when I now type “au” and then Ctrl-N, it will suggest “autocompletion”.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yep, I use it all the time, too. Except for Go, where I use Ctrl+x+o for Go-specific completion. But Ctrl+n still comes in very handy for strings and the like. In fact, it scans all the open buffers for completion suggestions.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no you mean, you don’t want the dog mauling everything in the house while you are away? 😅

It’s 500. I never changed it, so that’s the default of either Bash or my distro. It’s fine for me.

In-reply-to » @movq Hda to look this up and after I had done so (successfully after some improvements to the search engine) I am convinced that this is the right path to go down in terms of "I want to see old stuff" 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net having to go to search to read an older conversation is inefficient, unseemly, and an overall poor user experience. There has to be another way, right?

In-reply-to » Well, I missed the time window. Time flies, they’re all grown up now. 😬

Well it’s configurable, but by default it depends which gets filled up first. Time or Size.
