Why do clickers are named like that?

The buttons on Zenith’s original ‘clicker’ TV remote were a mechanical marvel

“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.” ― L.P. Jacks

Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! What?! I’m heading straight to Wikipedia…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s what I figured, since ncdu shows it at the bottom. ;-) But it’s actually pretty smart, to be honest. More space for precious content. And the title bar exists anyway, so why not make use of it with something helpful? Also, with entries being in descending order, it’s actually natural to show the sum as the even higher number above the largest entry and not at the bottom in another status line widget. 8-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Wonderful! Great dandelion shots. 😃

That sheep reminded me to read up on how sheep eyes work, having elongated pupils and all. They have multi-focal lenses – what?! Fascinating!

Welcome @aelaraji@aelaraji.com!

What the heck is going on with the encoding here?! The feed’s Content-Type header does not include any charset, but I’m still relying on the official twtxt client to fetch and parse feeds. Haven’t noticed this with any other feeds. Where in the chain is this messed up? :-? Seems like the “space” is the Unicode line separator U+2028, that we use for newlines.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, I was too lazy to introduce a new widget for that (and the current directory), so I just (ab)used the titlebar. %)

We have great April weather over here. Yesterday sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, hail, sun, hail, sun, rain, etc. It didn’t hail today, but sun alternatd with rain a bunch of times. Went out this evening and boy, what an absolutely gorgeous scenery!

Une liste d’articles à lire. J’aime bien l’idée de garder ce genre de liste dans une page: https://sanlive.com/thinkylinks/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh nice, it even shows the sum in the title bar.

@prologic@twtxt.net “by chance”. LOL.

PMdusage is nearing completion. The table items are clickable now.

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks! This is helpful 🙇‍♂️

Sure did! 😅

See so discovery does work 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wow! We have new blood 🤣 Welcome @aelaraji@aelaraji.com 👋

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ah, you’re welcome. 😅

(I’d still prefer it if there were some more alternative clients. There aren’t a lot to chose from at the moment. 🫤)

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yep, it works. Looks like this in my client: https://movq.de/v/6c1adeba0c/s.png

Sounds good. Yarn doesn’t have mobile app right now, so having a clean, decent one, would help. I will leave the UI/UX design to the contractor, trusting his taste, and good judgement. :-)

I don’t consider search that important. If it will be the same as it is on Yarn web now, then it isn’t worth much, or at all.

Thanks again @movq@www.uninformativ.de !! I have figured things out and set up Jenny and Vim completion following your blog post! Cheers!

I wonder if anyone got that as a replay 🥲 I tried and copied thread’s tag from twtxt.net

@prologic@twtxt.net I use LocalMonero (onion) to buy Monero with cash sent by mail. You can sell on there if you want to convert back to fiat. People also like Bisq, which is peer-to-peer software for buying and selling cryptocurrency.

To accept Monero, all you need is a wallet program. I recommend Feather Wallet. Create your wallet in there, then you’ll copy the wallet files into monero-wallet-rpc for use with MoneroPay, see docker-compose.yaml.

Oh! thank you @movq@www.uninformativ.de and @bender@twtxt.net ! I’ve noticed your replays by chance checking my logs 😊

@bender@twtxt.net I saw him following me, so there’s a slight chance. You are absolutely right, though.

I think he might have a hard time knowing there is a reply, @movq@www.uninformativ.de. Then replying will become the next ordeal. Starting friction is strong on twtxt. That’s where Yarn excelled.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Hello and welcome. 👋

Replies are not part of the original twtxt spec but extensions of Yarn.social. You can read up on those extensions over here: https://dev.twtxt.net/

I’m open to other suggestions? Maybe a service that can provide a an altcoin payment method and gateway as a service? 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net That may be true. I tried some “decentralized exchanges” but I have issue with “trust” so this is proving to be quite hard to figure out how to support accepting XMR as a “payment method” 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Is it really banned? I thought the regulators just pressured the centralized exchanges to delist privacy coins without actually banning them outright.

So turns out the following are banned in Australia

DASH, XMR or ZEC.

On my way to install PC DOS 7 in QEMU … which isn’t particularly a no-brainer because of IBM’s XDF floppy disks. I’ll get there eventually.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m glad that this stats view is actually useful. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net I concur. This little community of ours is here because of you, and I’m very grateful for that. :)

I got an e-mail today about my Linux notebook reaching end of support, yada yada yada. It mentioned that with the new stuff Okular will be able to sign PDFs. Never ever had to use that, but maybe some Linux user finds this information useful.

@bender@twtxt.net Thank you ! 🙇‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net I know it is often those who can’t code the ones more vocal. As I endeavour to improve my overall behaviour, and approach to all things in life, please know that I am grateful for what you have done, and continue to do, on Yarn.

Looks like his feed occasionally has problems too :/

@bender@twtxt.net Agree maybe it’s time to rethink the data stored here, I’ve been leaning towards this anyway over the past year or so.

I dunno what to say, but the Twt @movq@www.uninformativ.de replied to #cjlg4da just isn’t there. I can see it in @johanbove@johanbove.info ’s feed

$ ./yarnc stats https://johanbove.info/twtxt.txt | grep cjlg4da
  1 : (#cjlg4da)

But neither my pod nor the search engine ever ingested it. Hmm? Without modifying the tools I’m not even sure which Twt it was.

From Libera’s #crypto channel, “Cryptography theory and practice, not cryptocurrency (try ##altcoins – or better yet, just don’t)”. Hahahahahaha!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yarn’s caching is the bane of an otherwise decent thing. Wish it was sqlite driven, or something like it. No caching, just “there”. 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net It’s still there. 🤔 Maybe @prologic@twtxt.net’s cache exploded. 💥

@bender@twtxt.net Oof, okay. Guess I got lucky then. Never had to use any of those features. 😅

Testing 1… 2… 3…

Hmm… are replies broken?

For some reason I can’t reply to the original twt (https://twtxt.net/twt/lwb53ba). Deleted?
