Dang, I missed an opportunity! My mate just said:

In-reply-to » I've exhausted my stock of 5x30mm wooden dowels. Looking online for supplies yielded tons of merchants who are out of stock, ship only to businesses, offer only insane quantities (minimum of 10kg) or charge overprice for absolute joke amounts.

@lyse as I a simple person (but with great artistic acuity, and humbleness 😂) I am, number 04 is my favourite of all. Nice clicks, all!

I’ve exhausted my stock of 5x30mm wooden dowels. Looking online for supplies yielded tons of merchants who are out of stock, ship only to businesses, offer only insane quantities (minimum of 10kg) or charge overprice for absolute joke amounts.

None of my local hardware stores has them, they’re either also out of stock or generally don’t carry them at all. Same with long 5mm diameter round sticks in general. What the heck?!

I just make a “dowel iron” tomorrow, a steel plate with a sharp edged 5mm hole. Since I’ve got heaps of 6x30mm dowels, I just hammer them through. They will be smooth and not corrugated, but that’s totally fine with me.

Rikke List with Konvent makes for funny stories in YouTube comments (little boy wonders “women can do that?!”), and those are just killer riffs by Sara Nørregaard 🤘 Konvent – Puritan Masochism

I miss the days when Mina Špiler was with Laibach, she was perfect for this group 😢 Laibach – Bossanova

In-reply-to » @rdlmda But I am gad you at least have figured out how to have a feed description and avatar, that's always nice 👍

@prologic well, it isn’t rocket science, is it? 😅 Yet, without using the hashes and starting to follow people, it is very, very rudimentary. I know, I know, there were a couple of years during which people lived just fine without those. Yet, once you get used to certain things, there is no going back.

In-reply-to » Weird. My timestamps are all being shown (on https://twtxt.net and https://darch.dk/timeline) one hour ahead of what I expected. Am I manually writing my timestamps wrong? Are the clients interpreting something I'm not aware of? Let me write this one on the "Z" timezone to try to debug it.

@rdlmda You need to use the RFC3339 format. I would recommend you read the specs at https://twtxt.dev – This is what is used by many moden clients these days 😅

@rdlmda You also minimally need to be calculate message hases at some point, if you want to form threads that is (copying existing ones is easy) 😅

@rdlmda right, timestamps are RFC3339, so something like this: 2024-09-29T13:30:00Z

@rdlmda writing it by hand is good, but without checking your server logs to see if someone is following your feed, and interacting with them, you are simply tossing bottles into the sea. That, of course, isn’t a bad thing per se, if it is the intent. :-)

In-reply-to » Streamed me struggling to play minetest yesterday :D

@kingdomcome Oh, that brings back memories! I’ve played minetest one and half centuries ago. Some classmates and I tried to recreate our computer science building at the time. The proportions didn’t work out, but it still kinda worked. Minetest was one of the very few games I played a bit more extensively.
