Spent hours trying to find a handle. Wonder if @jack, @biz or anyone on the @Twitter team has tried signing up since the bots arrived? V=vowel, C=consonant: elliottVC: 51/105 taken, 54/105 suspended. elliottCV: 55/105 taken, 50/105 suspended.#myfirstTweet @ElliottInvent/becoming-a-new-twitter-user-is-not-easy-3e08eb18d7fe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@ElliottInvent…

@cstanley Hopefully a nice easy one, @handle is prefixed with @ resulting in @@handle on private accounts

Please comment any and all bugs you see on X - will have team track.

@SmokeAwayyy Beautiful, gotta feel for the guy sweeping up though.

Good night. "It's the chance to build cathedrals, entire cities, things that never existed, things that couldn't exist in the real world."

@thebmbennett @htmx_org Then hypermedia.systems (same Grug)

this is now required reading for my team: grugbrain.dev

@kybalioncipher @htmx_org Htmx doesn’t replace JS on the backend, your language of choice replaces JS on the backend. Htmx enables the front end to talk true fully fledged hypermedia to your backend of choice.

If you’ve ever had to prove you own a domain name (domain verification) you might be interested to hear I’ve developed an automated solution to that. Once rolled out, it could save millions of small businesses time and confusion. domainverification.org

@rokhladnik Standard domain verification methods are such a hurdle for most businesses, totally insurmountable for many. I’ve been working on way to automate this and would be really grateful for feedback from marketers in case you had time to take a look: domainverification.org

No more AEM and Domain verification

@driaug_ I’m working on a protocol for automatic domain verification. It doesn’t solve your “domain verification reset” problem but does hopefully make verifying domains easier: domainverification.org

On this episode of do things that don't scale. For the past year, I've been taking care of all problems with domain verification myself. Starting today, you can reset your verified domain without reaching out to me! #buildinpublic

@wesbos Back in mid-2000s, having two SQL query windows open: One a SELECT grabbing the valuable data you really need; the other a DELETE FROM pruning the useless data. Updating your WHERE clause in the wrong window. Goodbye dinner plans.

There are two types of people in this world: 1. Those who have deleted something important by accident 2. Those who haven't, yet.

This isn’t a new attack vector, everyone’s just getting excited because of .zip. Anyone could have previously sent you a link to yourbank.com[/]login@hacker.ru but they don’t because …. it doesn’t work and hasn’t for a very long time. Browsers and email clients don’t accept URIs with this `userinfo` because it’s bad practice and deprecated.

What is the difference between the two urls? one has an @ and one doesn't. But also the first downloads version 15 of postgres from GitHub and the second one resolves to v15 dot zip domain which can also downloads a zip file that sure doesn't have postgres in it. You see, URLs with @ in them are split into two parts, anything before @ is user info and anything after it is the host name, however this rule is broken if what comes before @ are forward slashes. The second URL includes a character encoded like forward slash but isn't really the real forward slash, which URL parsers ignores making anything before the @ as user info and treating whatever comes after it as the real hostname. While this can happen on any domain, the zip domains makes it more likely to happen. When you click on a link that ends in zip especially if it looks like from GitHub you won't think twice about it. Read the full blog from Bobbyr below.

@NameshakeReg @mattwinn The HS domain matt.winn/ doesn't resolve for any of the "Secure DNS" options listed in Chrome's "Privacy & Security > Security" and even when I select "Customized" and enter a NextDNS DoH URL (with Web3 enabled), I still get nothing. Any ideas?

Hey look @mattwinn's #Handshake site works in my Chrome+DoH Anybody else got a site that should work?? Post it below ... BTW: If you put a "/" at the end, Chrome sees it as a domain name, not a search term

@i_usearchbtw Na, you’ve been duped. There’s no way that’s real! Such a popular library would be soooo much better written, and probably in TS.

Just in: Hackers stole the htmx source code and have published it on the internet. Don't believe? Check it here yourself: github.com/bigskysoftware…

Thanks for the reply but what is there to DM? That bottle has been recycled a long time ago so you can’t help with that issue. Fwiw I nearly threw the top at a Swan in a canal just to be vindictive. My issue is in the tweet, the solution is what you had before. Is this design just in the UK or worldwide?

@ElliottInvent Hi Elliott We're sorry to hear that this has happened. Could you please send us a DM so we can help with the issue you have described? Sincerely The Coca-Cola team.

Hey @CocaCola_GB, I get it: you’re trying to do good things by attaching the lid to the bottle. But did anyone at Coke towers try and drink from one of these bottles? With the cap on, it’s messy. With the cap torn off it’s like French kissing a stag beetle.

@iamthemunro @GuinnessGB And coffee, right? …. right? Or are you chugging kale smoothies now?

@ElliottInvent Don’t touch that muck mate. The only black stuff I’ll drink is @GuinnessGB

@jyroneparker @kenwheeler @rrhoover A beautiful word for virtual sex over the internet. One of many beautiful words from Ted Nelson, another is intertwingularity.

@kenwheeler @rrhoover What’s that?

While everyone’s focused on AI startups, which space deserves more hype?

@htmx_org This is the one

considering some new logos folks on the discord are brainstorming like a lot of these, wdyt?

@raimeyuu @quii @htmx_org There’s a good essay about why this type of app might not be a good fit for the htmx (hypermedia) approach htmx.org/essays/when-to…

@quii @htmx_org I wonder how one could deal with highly interactive functionalities like working with the map or working with the canvas. Possibly, there's a spot for which a "SPAHTMX"-like combo would do the job? 🤔 Having a "guidance" on those "contexts" might be valuable!

I've been playing around with @htmx_org for about 6 months on and off; it's flipping fantastic. Here's I describe why I think you should invest time looking into it quii.dev/HTMX_is_the_Fu… You don't have to go through hell to make great web applications.

@iamthemunro So have you got terrible new coke bottles too?

@iamthemunro report in please

Hang on, is this just for us in the UK or is this a worldwide thing? It’s possible us Brits have quietly put up with it for a few weeks, we’ve had a lot to put up with. But I feel like the Americans would have more to say about this.
