In-reply-to » Made this awful mistake of not doing pre-prep work before going away on our next camper trip (now). Discovered this morning that some (idiot) person had turned off the power to the camper trailer and the battery was basically dead. I just hope it's not "dead dead". We plan to leave after 4hrs of Bulk Charge from the mains power and it's internal battery charger and hope for the best. I'm also brining a spare 12.8V LifePo4 battery that is basically full to power the fridge, just in case. Fark I'm an idiot 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net oh dear! 😬😩

In-reply-to » I'm closing down neotxt.dk as a yarn pod. It will instead offer hosting of timeline or what ever other php stuff you want to run. To get started send me a poem to poem@neotxt.dk

He will not see this, so it seems. That twt was pretty much a telegram, without sender address. LOL.

In-reply-to » Microsoft’s new era of AI PCs will need a Copilot key, says Intel Intel, Microsoft, Qualcomm, and AMD have all been pushing the idea of an “AI PC” for months now as we head toward more AI-powered features in Windows. While we’re still waiting to hear the finer details from Microsoft on its big plans for AI in Windows, Intel has started sharing Microsoft’s requirements for OEMs to build an AI PC — and one of the main ones is that an AI PC must have Microsoft’s Copilot ... ⌘ Read more

@mckinley@twtxt.net which one would you call a legacy operating system? If referring to a previous Microsoft Windows OS, it will not be legacy for long. Granted, it might during our lifetime, but I tend to look (and often worry) a bit further.

In-reply-to » @bender These are not beinged pull via ActivityPub. I disabled the integration long ago myself on my pod. There is a Mastodon instance or two out there that serves up Twtxt feeds. Someone my pod has subscribed to those, I think that's what's happening here...

@prologic@twtxt.net yup, that is, sadly, what’s happening. It is making the “discover” worthless for my (and @mckinley@twtxt.net) use case.

In-reply-to » So what do we think of the Reddit IPO? 🤔

It is an IPO. :-D I find more value in Reddit than Facebook. Granted, Meta is more than Facebook now a days. I am not buying any, but I wish them (Reddit Inc.), and their investors, well.

In-reply-to » if you are not in a "central country" you are screwed. I thought it would be a good idea to promote a LiberaPay page to build some patronage to my free/open projects, but in Brazil LiberaPay can only handle PayPal and it integrates poorly, it doesn't accept Reais! If you try a direct PayPal donation button it works much better: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hostedbuttonid=5B4MZ78C9J724 ... this is so frustrating.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know what the fix will be. Ideally, since it doesn’t work for bidirectional communication, get rid of the Fediverse integration? Would that stop those posts from showing up?

@mckinley@twtxt.net you can’t even block/mute them. For those, like me, that use the “Discover” to see what’s up, that is a little bit problematic. I live with it, though. :-)

In-reply-to » TrueNAS CORE 13 is the end of the FreeBSD version Bad news from BSD land – the oldest vendor of BSD systems is changing direction away from FreeBSD and toward Linux. NAS vendor iXsystems has been busy this year, but apart from some statements in online user communities, it hasn’t been talking about the big news. Back in 2022, we covered TrueNAS CORE 13, the new release of its FreeBSD-based turnkey OS for NAS servers, and in that article we mentioned its new product, the Debian-base ... ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net meh, in my opinion you don’t buy into a Lexus because of it’s superb craftsmanship, engine, and technologies, as engines have been pretty rock solid in other car manufacturers (Kias, Hundais, etc.) for decades now. There is no reason to pick a Lexus specifically over a Kia, both running with engines that burn fossil fuel, as a way of transportation.

LOL. :-D
