2024-09-18T21:50:01+00:00	Everything starts at a "hello world". At least around these parts; the nerdy parts.
2024-09-18T22:05:15+00:00	I have configured my `twtxt.txt` as simple as possible. I have setup a `publish_command` on [jenny](https://www.uninformativ.de/git/jenny/file/README.html). Hopefully all works fine, and I am good to go. Next will be setting the `announce_me` to `true`. Here we go!
2024-09-18T22:10:26+00:00	(#kikq2xa) Alright, `announce_me` set to true. Now, who do I pick to be my first mention? Decisions, decisions. Next twtxt will have my first mention(s). :-)
2024-09-18T22:36:04+00:00	Alright. My first mentions---which were picked not so randomly, LOL---are @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>, @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt>, and @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt>. I am also posting my first image too, which you see below. That's my neighbourhood, in a "winter" day. Hopefully @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> will add my domain to his allowed list, so that the image (and any other further) renders.

2024-09-18T22:48:45+00:00	Incredibly upset---more than you could imagine---because I already made the first mistake, and corrected it (but twtxt.net got it on it's cache, ugh!) :'-( . Can't wait for editing to become a reality!
2024-09-18T23:06:45+00:00	(#kdtce4q) @<aelaraji https://aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt> hey, hey! You are my very first reply! 👋🏻 Cheers!
2024-09-18T23:17:33+00:00	(#kdtce4q) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> :-D Thanks! Things can come in cycles, right? This is simply another one. Another cycle, more personal than the other "alter egos".
2024-09-19T11:37:15+00:00	(#qgv3waq) @<eldersnake https://we.loveprivacy.club/user/eldersnake/twtxt.txt> there has to be less reliance on a single point of failure. It is not so much about creating jobs in the US (which come with it, anyway), but about the ability to produce what's needed at home too. What's the trade off? Is it going to be a little bit more expensive to manufacture, perhaps?
2024-09-19T11:43:23+00:00	(#xghlsva) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> how about hashing a combination of nick/timestamp, or url/timestamp only, and not the twtxt content? On edit those will not change, so no breaking of threads. I know, I know, just adding noise here. :-P
2024-09-19T11:46:15+00:00	(#3f36byq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I don't trust Google with **anything**, sorry, pass. Oh, and you need to sign in on your Google Account (or whatever they call it these days).
2024-09-19T12:30:16+00:00	@<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> could it be possible to have `compressed_subject(msg_singlelined)` be configurable, so only a certain number of characters get displayed, ending on ellipses? Right now the entire twtxt is crammed into the `Subject:`. This request aims to make twtxts display on `mutt`/`neomutt`, etc. more like emails do.
2024-09-19T12:48:10+00:00	(#xghlsva) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I know the role of the current hash is to allow referencing (replies and, thus, threads), and it also represents a "unique" way to verify a twtxt hasn't been tampered with. Is that second so important, if we are trying to allow edits? I know if feels good to be able to verify, but in reality, how often one does it?
2024-09-19T14:31:57+00:00	(#xghlsva) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I read it. I understand it. Hopefully a solution can be agreed upon that solves the editing issue, whilst maintaining the cryptographic hash.
2024-09-19T15:32:58+00:00	(#vq422aa) @<eldersnake https://we.loveprivacy.club/user/eldersnake/twtxt.txt> I wanted to ask you, are you running Headscale *and* WireGuard on the same VPS? I want to test Headscale, but currently run a small container with WireGuard, and I wonder if I need to stop (and eventually get rid of) the container to get Headscale going. Did you use the provided `.deb` to install Headscale, or some other method?
2024-09-19T16:52:02+00:00	(#pgi2jkq) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> yes, that's perfect! <3
2024-09-19T17:17:25+00:00	(#pgi2jkq) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> perfect in every way. Configurable too! Thank you!
2024-09-19T17:35:42+00:00	(#pgi2jkq) I mean, really, it couldn't get any better. I love it!

2024-09-19T18:11:23+00:00	(#2p5ulxq) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> I recognise him, but yes, he has aged quite a bit. I mean, I look at myself in the mirror and can't, often, recognise myself. Ageing is a bitch! 😅
2024-09-19T19:44:23+00:00	(#l5452vq) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> indeed! There is no "central authority" acting as witness, and notary. The more I think of it... LOL.
2024-09-19T21:14:38+00:00	(#xwvocwa) @<falsifian https://www.falsifian.org/twtxt.txt> this one hits hard, as `jenny` was just updated today. :'-(
2024-09-19T21:15:51+00:00	(#kdtce4q) @<falsifian https://www.falsifian.org/twtxt.txt> hiya from the Sunshine State (also known as a never-ending hell, LOL)!
