It's all sh/awk/sed, so going through it won't be an issue. 2021-02-27T12:23:09.000000Z @ Agreed. Having the reply feature work with the threading would be nice. 2021-02-27T12:23:09.000001Z @ I think I fixed it. Strange that nginx still doesn't default to UTF-8. 2021-02-28T10:57:55.000000Z It's almost 05:00, I've barely gotten good sleep, and I suddenly want to try and make a manpage for txtnish, just as groff practice. I swear, I'm not going crazy... 2021-02-28T10:59:36.000000Z Huh... That last post of mine might have exposed a small bug. txtnish wouldn't post unless I removed the backticks I'd had in there. ...Time to learn sed and awk! 2021-03-03T21:19:19.000000Z Oh wow... Woke up to twtxt.net giving me 404s and 504s. Hope things are okay over there, cause I'm not getting anything from any of their users at the moment. 2021-03-06T12:09:47Z Trying to get [txtnix](https://github.com/mdom/txtnix) working, despite not being actively maintained. I've been tring to get into Perl development, and this looks like a fun one to hack on in my spare time. 2021-03-09T07:07:11Z Old books purchased and on their way. 'Perl Resource Kit - Unix Edition', on its way to me. Really wanted the set because I couldn't find eBook versions of any part of it, and it'll look good on my bookshelf. 2021-03-20T02:01:24Z It's always difficult waiting for packages to arrive, but I think my bookshelves are happy to have a bit longer to relax. 2021-03-20T02:05:26Z I swear, [cht.sh](https://cht.sh) is one of the most useful things I've come across while learning how to write code. 2021-03-21T02:00:26Z @ (#) Yeah, I started using wttr when I first found out about it, and then remembered cht.sh again shortly after. Good luck with the golang project. 2021-03-21T16:56:41Z Oh hey! I'm actually keeping up with gitea updates for once. Just upgraded, and I feel a little better for it. 2021-03-23T02:38:55.000000Z Oof... Looks like Twtxt.net is down again. Rebranding is rough, but this is really rough. 2021-03-25T05:57:36.000000Z @ (#) What the... Most of the FOSS community seem to be losing their collective minds with the whole RMS thing. I had to ditch FOSStodon and a number of other places to get some sanity, but now I'm wondering if I just need to stay away from the web/net as a whole for a while. I also know one gopher bookmark I'll be removing from lynx now. Not going to give them the benefit of doubt after posting such a horrid poll. 2021-03-25T18:43:43.000000Z New whiteboard obtained, after my partner's bird accidentally ruined the previous one. Maybe I can finally get a little bit of coding done once I map things out on a surface that I can see. 2021-03-25T22:46:43.000000Z Finally got my copy of the 'sed & awk' book to use for reference. Been really needing something that can help me understand those two tools. 2021-03-27T14:01:03.000000Z You know it's gonna be a good day when the plastic contact covers for the wall outlet you're working on end up falling off. Thankfully, I was replacing the faceplace, but I quickly scooted out to shut off the breaker to the room. 2022-03-11T19:43:47.000000Z I really needed that long break from everything. 2022-03-12T16:46:25.000000Z Finally got around to fixing txtnish to work properly on Mac 10.6.8 with the squid HTTPS proxy. It may be an old OS, but it's a nice OS if you want to mostly stay off the modern web. 2022-03-15T17:09:07.000000Z Back on my Fedora laptop while I get used to things on the Linux side again. Kinda tempted to learn tbamud to make a small personal MUCK for the challenge. 2022-03-15T17:10:30.000000Z Kinda want to look into BBSes as well. I blame the great BBS docu series by Al's Geek Lab on YouTube. 2022-03-22T19:22:30.000000Z My 2009 MacBook's spinning drive finally went belly-up. Managed to clone it to an SSD, but I also have a Time Machine backup, so I was covered either way. Still, no Windows partition until I can get a bigger drive. 2022-12-20T05:31:00.000000Z Long time no post. 2022-12-20T05:34:49.000000Z Just looked at how twtxt.net and yarn.social is coming along. It's definitely something for the community to be proud of, IMO. 2022-12-20T06:26:57.000000Z (#s2labpq) @ I'm back, mostly. Been quiet due to having little mental energy for any social media. Apparently, my last post prior was back in...March this year. 2022-12-20T06:29:46.000000Z (#jsghonq) @ I'm glad people have kept it going. Also, I finally saw the thread from earlier. Purists are best ignored, especially when they throw a fit about not getting to enforce their opinions on others. As they say, don't feed the trolls. 2022-12-21T03:12:17.000000Z Tonight has slowly become an _ignore all the things online_ kind of night for me. Might end up taking a few days to be as offline as possible for my own sake. I'm still learning my limits, after all. 2022-12-21T14:43:05.000000Z (#bjc2hna) @ Thank you. 2022-12-22T17:52:10.000000Z Things I need to get used to again: typing with a JIS layout keyboard. I kinda missed it. 2022-12-25T02:26:23.000000Z Merry Decemberween to all. 2022-12-25T22:04:37.000000Z (#v4qk4la) @ Thank you, and I hope you've had a wonderful day as well. 2022-12-25T22:06:29.000000Z Today, I got networking going in my Sheepshaver install of MacOS 9. I feel quite accomplished. Taking it slow seems to be helping my nerves, and limiting my social time online seems to be boosting that recovery. 2022-12-26T00:30:15.000000Z Technology Connections (on Youtube) posted a rather interesting old film from the 1970s called 'Critical Program Reading'. Shows how much, and how little, has changed since those days. https://youtu.be/7hdJQkn8rtA 2022-12-26T02:43:18.000000Z (#5yvkoeq) @ Agreed. Same with indentation (just look at Python), as well as line spacing. It's the small things that make code much more manageable. 2023-01-25T20:47:37.000000Z Almost a month gone, because I caught the COVID and was out of commission. Over the worst of it now, and slowly recovering from the rest of the symptoms.
