marado https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt.txt 2026-02-11T13:49:52Z (#116052314864664656) I'm thinking about changing #matrix servers.

Questions *for you*:
* is there a way to migrate the account, ou shall I simply create a new one and rejoin groups, channels, etc.?
* do you have any server recomendations?

Thanks! marado https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt.txt 2026-02-11T03:20:18Z (#116049839312313026) "With AI, I can replace 20 software engineers with 1 'prompt engineer'"

Destaca-se que esses adiamentos não têm permitido que o serviço seja diferente (pelo que não é de espantar que o SIRESP continue a falhar - foi a opção política tomada), e que têm tido um custo financeiro brutal. Fica aqui uma notícia dos 26 milhões de euros pagos já depois das tempestades, para continuarmos a ter a gestão privada do SIRESP para o resto deste ano.

Se querem criticar a gestão pública, criem a gestão pública primeiro, sim? Obrigado.

I accidentally confused an HTML file for a YAML file and manually opened it in my browser. Unfortunately, I clicked on the OK button of the popped up dialog a bit too fast, it just caught me off guard. It asked which program to open the YAML file in. Of course Firefox thought that it could handle that and suggested itself by default. Conveniently, the "don't prompt me again and always use this selection from now on" checkbox was enabled.

And then the endless loop of death started. Turns out, this fucking browser can't do shit with YAML files and delegated to what had been just configured. Oh, would you look at that!? Firefox! Empty tabs after empty tabs appeared. Killing and restarting Firefox just loaded the last session with all the tabs and the loop continued.

Some bloody snakeoil on my work machine slows down link openening requests by two, three seconds. It's always absolutely anoying, but luckily, it actually limited the rate of new tabs popping up. I still could not close the many tabs fast enough that had accumulated before I noticed what was going on in the background.

Going to the settings to change them was always interrupted with a new tab opening in the foreground.

Finally, killing Firefox and renaming the file on disk before restarting Firefox did the trick and broke the loop. I was still holding down Ctrl+W for a minute or so to get rid of the useless tabs. I didn't want to loose the important tabs, so just ditching the session wasn't an option. luxferre https://lynx.luxferre.top/twtxt.txt 2026-02-10T11:18:49+00:00 Also discovered https://feeds.twtxt.net/ which allows subscribing to any site with an RSS/... https://lynx.luxferre.top/#2026-02-10-11-18-49 luxferre https://lynx.luxferre.top/twtxt.txt 2026-02-10T10:58:11+00:00 As usual, the problem with truly decentralized services is getting discovered by others.

> I can't remember if the hex viewer back then had these options. Don't even recall what software that was. :-)

The one that I used during my Windows 95 days was “Hex Workshop”. It had similar features, just not as promimently displayed. It shows them down there in the statusline as “Value”:

Newer versions can probably do more, haven’t checked. 😅 (Assuming this program still exists.)

> Apart from selecting text to copy into the clipboard. But that probably has the potential for trouble and interference with button clicks, etc.

Yeah, that’s a big problem: Once you activate mouse mode in the terminal, the terminal loses the ability to select text. 😞 You’d either have to emulate that in the program itself (like Vim does) or give the user an easy way to turn mouse support on/off during runtime.

> How did the startup times develop?

They’re pretty stable at around 230 ms on my old NUC. It’s *just* fast enough so that it doesn’t annoy me. kiwu https://twtxt.net/user/kiwu/twtxt.txt 2026-02-08T09:03:53Z hi guysss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71c1dJBL-DU
