It needs to be said: Retrocomputing and old systems like DOS or OS/2 are fun and all, but a UNIX shell and its userland tools are the most powerful things I’ve ever seen. You can pry that from my cold dead hands. 😅

Rode my bicycle into town. What the hell is wrong with some of these motorists!? Here in right lane traffic land, a car reversed out of the driveway on the left into the road and nearly hit me. And this happened twice! If you don’t fucking see, how about you go slowly and not just hope that nobody is coming!? The first one even decided to honk at me. SUV drivers confirming prejudice…

Well, at least I could help a lady with transfering her child in a pram.

@bender@twtxt.net I’m hoping my little one makes it that long; it’s possible! Unless some medical miracle occurs I’ll be long ago converted to dust by then.

Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that its voice assistant Siri routinely recorded private conversations that were then sold to third parties for targeted ads.

From Siri “unintentionally” recorded private convos; Apple agrees to pay $95M https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/apple-agrees-to-pay-95m-delete-private-conversations-siri-recorded/

I’m not sure I’m convinced Apple is really that much better than the other big tech companies when it comes to this kind of thing. Their reputation is better and they do seem to be better about things like on-device encryption, but then stories like this come out.

In-reply-to » My side project explains very well https://django-liveview.andros.dev/ 😁

Django channels are cool! I had the chance to make a online gaming framework with Channels and Django Rest and was a great experience.

I’m looking forward to doing something in Django LiveView soon.

@prologic@twtxt.net can you explain more on that “all ingress is actually egress”?

In-reply-to » Once again I glimpsed at my twtxt feed access log. Now I'm wondering: is there a twtxt client named xt out there? Does anyone know? I did not find anything for "xt/0.0.1".

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm, what’s this Emacs client you heard about?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Unfortunately, there is no feed URL or nick in the User-Agent, it just consists of “xt/0.0.1”, that’s it. And this client was only active from mid-November until the end of the month.

It’ll probably remain a mystery, we’ll never know.

@prologic@twtxt.net Huh. I don’t really know how Cloudflare works, never used it. I assumed that the main use case is something along the lines of Anycast (they pick a proxy/cache close to the client). Do I understand correctly that you mainly used it for TLS termination? 🤔

Gesundes Neues, @arne@uplegger.eu! Was machst Du mit den Raketenstecken? Bastelst Du damit tolle Dinge? Ich hab damit zwei kleine Regälchen zusammengeleimt: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/tischbohrmaschinenregal/10.jpg

Der Wind hat mir soeben einen neuen Stecken beschert, lag er doch plötzlich vor der Tür. Muss wohl vom Dach runtergekommen sein. Damit hab ich ganze zwei dieses Jahr. Hier wird sehr stark auf Böller gesetzt, ein absolutes Unding!

It was supposed to start raining this afternoon, but a rain cloud hit us in the morning just when we approached the foot of our backyard mountain. With the dark sky above us and wind speed picking up, we decided to take the next turn and head back. Luckily, the rain didn’t last long, so we paid the tadpole pond a visit to prolong our stroll. My mate told me that it was frozen a few days ago, but there was not much of the icy cover left today. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-01-02/

In-reply-to » SvarDOS: DR-DOS is Reborn as an Open Source OS SvarDOS, a compact open-source operating system derived from DR-DOS, has switched to using the EDRDOS kernel, marking a shift from its FreeDOS distribution roots.

@prologic@twtxt.net There are still people who prefer it over Git. I mean, OpenBSD even still uses CVS. I don’t understand why, but they say it works fine for them … 🤷

@prologic@twtxt.net Yep, I saw this a few days ago. 😃 Haven’t had a closer look yet. But before I wrote my own editor, I considered porting SVED. 😃 (Couldn’t do it, because they use features that my kernel doesn’t have.)

But why, oh why, would people still use SVN these days. 🥴😅
