2020-07-04T02:08:35-07:00 My first twtxt. Nobody will follow me, but I'm sure if I shill enough on my website I'll get a few people to read my messages in a browser. 2020-07-04T02:10:37-07:00 I'm not even using a real client, I made a (poorly written) bash script to write messages to a file and exit if it's over 140 characters. 2020-07-04T02:24:26-07:00 Put a nice twtxt section on the root of my website. Fun fact: it isn't automated, so every time I "tweet" I have to manually add it there. 2020-07-04T03:52:12-07:00 Moving to Mexico to start an underground GNU/Linux users group, gonna call it RMS-13 2020-07-04T18:39:38-07:00 https:github.com/duckduckgo/Android/issues/527 Domains visited using mobile DDG browser get sent to DDG servers... I'll switch to Firefox. 2020-07-04T23:01:56-07:00 The amount of times I've had to boot my (GNU/Linux) laptop just to ssh into it on my (Windows) desktop to do a basic task is astounding. 2020-07-05T19:19:54-07:00 https://hardware.majix.org/ cool website showing off someone's old computers 2020-07-05T23:52:05-07:00 Reminder that https://mckinley.cc is fully Lynx-friendly :) 2020-07-07T01:14:06-07:00 Got my new ThinkPad in the mail today. An X61T. Installed Arch on it, everything went well. May go to Parabola eventually for extra freedom. 2020-07-07T01:18:18-07:00 I would like to make a list of the computers I own on here, have pictures and specs of the machine. Would be a fun project to index them. 2020-07-08T00:08:56-07:00 I finally made a script to add my twtxt messages in the 3 necessary documents. It isn't pretty, but at least it gets the job done. 2020-07-08T00:47:38-07:00 My hosting provider probably won't let me use a public key for authentication with FTP though, so that still needs to be done manually. 2020-07-31T12:52:45-07:00 Man, haven't used this in a while. Not dead. Blog post coming soon:tm: 2020-07-31T14:53:52-07:00 Just added a new page on mckinley.cc with some of the computers I have and their specs. https://mckinley.cc/computers.html 2020-08-01T15:42:18-07:00 The computers page on https://mckinley.cc/ kills Lynx compatibility, and I'm stumped on how to fix it without the looks tanking for everyone 2020-08-04T18:41:06-07:00 Good discussion about bad article on HowToGeek: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/why-i-still-use-an-old-powerpc-mac-in-2020.2248402/ 2020-12-10T21:21:30-08:00 Computers page looks like garbage, but at least I've finally gotten around to making it an official part of my site. 2021-01-15T21:42:41-08:00 I was once shown a site with CSS making it look like the source HTML but I didn't save it. If you know it please send a message on Session. 2021-01-15T21:46:07-08:00 The 140 character limit of the twtxt spec is annoying. I hope you got the essence of my previous post. 2021-02-08T13:09:05-08:00 To the Canadian gentleman signing every guestbook he can find in Gopherspace, I salute you sir. 2021-02-11T00:07:15-08:00 Search engines are not browsers, browsers are not search engines. 2021-02-12T01:40:29-08:00 People's minds are blown about how Mojang made worlds deeper in Minecraft. I predicted this exact solution months ago and was called crazy. 2021-02-12T01:45:59-08:00 The 1.17 update to Minecraft will have some interesting features, but I don't really see myself playing a lot of anything newer than 1.12.2. 2021-02-13T22:51:28-08:00 Calls to "own your data" and focus on "privacy" fall on deaf ears if you're sponsored by Google and Mozilla, recommending the use of Tumblr. 2021-02-16T00:35:10-08:00 What an adventure, shame the article was never updated. (Google warning) http://unforgettability.net/content/page/projects_cobalt 2021-02-16T10:38:17-08:00 I can't tell if this is going to be a real product or not. I sure hope it is, because it looks really cool. http://violence.works/ 2021-02-16T11:15:51-08:00 I've been on an archive.org book waitlist for weeks because I can't find the book anywhere else. It sucks to not illegally download things. 2021-02-16T18:36:20-08:00 I turned on access logging for https://mckinley.cc/, so if you want to go there using weird browser/hardware combinations, now is the time. 2021-02-16T23:19:53-08:00 @ (#<3l6v6ea https://twtxt.net/search?tag=3l6v6ea>) 36% of requests since I enabled logs 2021-02-17T00:36:43-08:00 @ (#<3l6v6ea https://twtxt.net/search?tag=3l6v6ea>) Logs say it's just you :) 2021-02-17T01:41:53-08:00 @ (#<3l6v6ea https://twtxt.net/search?tag=3l6v6ea>) Thanks, man. I'll take a look. 2021-02-24T16:11:42-08:00 MC 1.17: Bedrock in existing chunks won't be replaced with grimstone. Grimstone starts at y=-1, bedrock ended at y=0. Very specific numbers. 2021-02-24T16:20:21-08:00 MC 1.17: I predict there will be a bedrock wall generated on the border of 1.17 chunks that go to y=-64 and pre-1.17 chunks that go to y=0. 2021-02-24T19:33:06-08:00 The AC adapter for my W700ds arrived. I can now say the reviewer who referred to it as "a very brick-like power brick" was absolutely right. 2021-02-25T10:19:59-08:00 Why is it so common for help sites of software projects to have no links back to the main site? I always have to change the URL manually. 2021-02-25T12:19:50-08:00 @ (#) I can't find it now, keep an eye out for it. 2021-02-25T13:28:10-08:00 @ (#) Just inline images, they wrap like text. 2021-02-25T13:34:40-08:00 @ (#) 36 characters left makes it rough. 2021-02-25T14:01:24-08:00 @ (#) Vim, and it's really not that awful. 2021-03-04T11:09:33-08:00 "Charting a course towards a more privacy-first web." Yeah, okay Google. https://blog.google/products/ads-commerce/a-more-privacy-first-web/ 2021-03-04T11:11:18-08:00 "72% of people feel that almost all of what they do online is being tracked by advertisers" Wow Google, I wonder why they feel that way. 2021-03-04T18:46:27-08:00 @ Twtxt.net's privacy policy says you store emails, /register disagrees. Which is true? 2021-03-05T19:55:29-08:00 I stopped browsers from automatically requesting a favicon on https://mckinley.cc/ thanks to this blog post: https://k1ss.org/blog/20191004a 2021-03-11T11:39:55-08:00 Live.js is neat, but I don't know why you would include it in the document. I just put it in a userscript for 127.0.0.1. https://livejs.com/ 2021-03-11T16:09:00-08:00 /twtxt.html, at 12.9KB, is now the largest HTML document on https://mckinley.cc/. 2021-03-12T19:03:04-08:00 Found a PGP signed twtxt feed. I've been thinking about this, I wonder how many clients it breaks. https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/mdom.txt 2021-03-13T00:06:21-08:00 Automatically generated web content never ceases to amuse me. (Spyware warning) https://www.slant.co/versus/126/128/~go_vs_brainfuck 2021-03-14T19:21:01-07:00 Hey, it's pi day! 2021-03-16T11:50:34-07:00 Reject modernity, return to poor contrast and flashy GIFs. https://www.wonder-tonic.com/geocitiesizer/ 2021-03-17T00:35:26-07:00 1100 lines of CSS, 700KB of JavaScript, and 4 fonts on the home page of a blog named 'Web Dev Simplified' https://blog.webdevsimplified.com/ 2021-03-17T21:00:25-07:00 Everyone should read this. 'User domestication' is a great term. https://seirdy.one/2021/01/27/whatsapp-and-the-domestication-of-users.html 2021-03-18T19:25:37-07:00 I'm currently updating an Arch system that hasn't been updated since October. Wish me luck. 2021-03-20T02:50:14-07:00 OnionShare now lets you host an anonymous chat room. You can also run multiple services at one time. It just keeps getting better. 2021-03-20T21:25:28-07:00 GitHub really doesn't make it easy for you to do things anonymously. At least you can see repositories without JS. (Looking at you, GitLab!) 2021-03-30T17:52:28-07:00 I got a Kensington Expert Mouse. My only other trackball is of the thumb-ball style. The Expert Mouse is very different, but nice to use. 2021-03-30T23:29:03-07:00 I wouldn't have bought this mouse if it wasn't on the shelf at Micro Center. I've always thought it was a meme, but I like it a lot. 2021-04-03T18:00:19-07:00 I had a nightmare last night, I had to check my email on an M1 MacBook Pro, and the email client on it was just terrible, almost unusable. 2021-04-06T01:15:23-07:00 140 characters cannot even begin to contain my problems with this blog post. https://apex.sh/blog/post/pre-render-wget/ 2021-04-06T01:17:35-07:00 PEOPLE DO THAT WITH A HEADLESS CHROME INSTANCE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHO COULD POSSIBLY- WHY WOULD- THE- I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CHARACTERS. 2021-04-06T01:20:57-07:00 MCKINLEY NEWS: GUY WITH EYE DESTROYING WEBSITE SELLS A GIT COMMIT https://nitter.42l.fr/tjholowaychuk/status/1377163602776367104 2021-04-15T19:12:50-07:00 Oh, wow, Dogecoin almost hit a quarter. Maybe I should get some when the price stabilizes a bit. 2021-04-15T19:24:24-07:00 A month ago, /twtxt.html was the largest page on mckinley.cc. I split it into several files and now the January-April page is the same size. 2021-04-15T19:25:25-07:00 My 9.5KB plain text feed is also getting up there. I've been thinking about adding a feed with only recent posts. Last 25 or 30, probably. 2021-04-15T23:01:05-07:00 I am now the proud owner of the domain 'mck.cx'. This is only the 2nd domain I've bought without a purpose, but I'm still part of the club. 2021-04-21T23:41:17-07:00 Please stop recommending JavaScript programs to me. They're bad enough in a browser, let alone as a piece of dedicated software. 2021-04-24T23:38:37-07:00 Oh, you've got to be kidding me. I can get xx.xx (domain withheld) for less than I paid for mck.cx! That's one character less! 2021-04-24T23:54:41-07:00 Okay, IN MY DEFENSE: It is rare (and becoming more rare) to find a 2+2 letter domain that you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars for. 2021-04-25T23:21:20-07:00 Almost been 24 hours. I don't have control of my domain. GoDaddy shows it for sale. $5000 instead of $16. Contacting support in the morning. 2021-04-27T01:04:17-07:00 Firefox developers changed the text for some options in the right click menu, making half second actions take thought. Thank you for that. 2021-05-03T15:34:45-07:00 GoDaddy gave me a refund. I guess I'm not getting mc.cz for $16. 2021-05-06T21:48:51-07:00 Yandex and Google trackers will potentially be added to Audacity: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/835 2021-05-06T21:49:51-07:00 Apparently the PR author is associated with their new parent company, Muse Group. I doubt the opposition will be heard. 2021-05-06T21:50:51-07:00 The VERY NEXT PR adds a Google telemetry library. Not a coincidence. Watch PRs closely. https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/836 2021-05-08T15:18:19-07:00 DEW-S-A IS BACK!
