@movq@www.uninformativ.de Great, I had some cherries. :-)
Woah, this is absolutely crazy! Super interesting to watch. The precision with this tiny workpiece amazes me. Omega Seamaster Bracelet Machining Modification: https://youtu.be/t0iGXWcZxg8
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com You are most welcome! 🙏
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com twtd landed too 🥳 Hosted feeds (twtpub.com) and self-hosted twtd can publish # follow = now — the operator offers it with --allow-follows, then it’s the same toggle in Settings. Off by default at both ends 👌
Also a “Publish who I follow” toggle: writes # follow = + # following = N into your feed like yarnd does. Off by default (it is your social graph 🤔), and only on the GitHub/Gitea backends for now where the app owns the feed file. twtd next 🤞
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Both 😅 Just shipped: Settings → Backup & restore. Export everything (or follows only) as a JSON file and import it back — or feed it any twtxt.txt and it’ll harvest the # follow = lines. There’s a copy-paste # follow = block in there too if you’d rather hand-edit 👌
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com So we going with an Import/Export feature? Or would you also like optionally to write # follow = into the feed too? 🤔 Can do either/or or both.
@david@daiwei.me This has now been fixed! 🎉
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com I think it would have to be specific to the App itself. So say you somehow didn’t save a recovery key or some shit™ You could still get back up and running with ease if you had exported a config? 🤔
Okay I’m fixing this in lextwt, yarnd and twtxt.app (takes a different path). Soon you’ll be able to write shit™ like (<this>) and it’ll get escaped and rendered correctly on the page. Basically you are really writing HTML here, but not intending to do so, Twtxt never supported HTML, and I don’t think it ever should. We extended the format to support basic Markdown, and I think that’s where it should end.
Probably time we wrote a Spec for this really.
Ahh no I was wrong. this is being stripped at the Markdown parsing level due to “unsafe” HTML. Which of course is a bit hard to tell between what is safe and unsafe HTML.
I think the problem here is that (i.e: <foo>) is being treated as HTML, which the browser renders as nothing, because that’s not even a valid element it understands how to render. Hmmm 🤔
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Based on your description, I think it makes snse to have an Import/Export settings in the UI? RIght? 🤔
@david@daiwei.me Kk I’ll look into it 👌
@david@daiwei.me I mean we can probably do that I suppose. I’d make it an option in Settings though?
@david@daiwei.me I see it now. Is this also a problem in the app too? Or just yarnd or both?
@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Probably. How do you want this to work? An “Export” button to export all your settings in some form?
@david@daiwei.me Sorry, I’m not seeing what you’re saying? 🤔
@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com lol! “Yeah, it was me. What you gonna do about it? Hm? Hm?” Cats. Typical arrogant cats. 😂
For this week’s #Caturday, I have an image that requires a bit of backstory…
Shortly after Emperor Maximilian I retained us as his caretakers (over 8 years ago), we would often return home from our travels to find a handful of pairs of socks scattered around the floor, typically taken from our son’s sock drawer (which was usually overflowing and therefore often left slightly open). We weren’t sure if it was Max (as he was not the only cat in the house) until the day we came home to find this: 
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Pretty good! Had an apple, too. 🤣
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ha! 😂
Board game for one person? Ironing. :‘-D
@david@daiwei.me Oh yeah, a full belly stops everything. :-D
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Dang it! You gotta have a chance again after sunset. :-)
muos/amd64 that boots into a running shell, with a tiny little vfs, UNIX-like semantics, syscalls, read/write, etc. It works pretty nicely, and aside from a small Assembly "nucleus", most of the Kernel and Userspace is written in Mu.
@prologic@twtxt.net Sounds cool, I gotta take a look at it when my brain has some free capacity. :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de A mate showed me a graph reaching 40°C… :-O It’s going to be hell on earth.

@prologic@twtxt.net Congrats! 🤘 That sounds disturbingly low-level to me, but I know that it’s no small feat.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de @klaxzy@klaxzy.net @david@daiwei.me I’m in a similar boat, they pushed us to use it, then pushed us to keep our usage below a certain threshold (although they do allow certain “power users” go beyond the limit, LOL). I dragged my feet at first, but they finally broke my spirit about a month before the limits were put into place. Unfortunately, I’ve been doing more managing than coding lately, so I mostly just use it for creating JIRA tickets (I find it to be very good at producing “Agile artifacts”).
@prologic@twtxt.net Copyright infringement is still your best entertainment value.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I also got up at 5 (I always do 😅) and went on a quick stroll around 6:30, but boy, that was chilly. So I said to myself: Screw that, I’ll try again later.
And now we’re at 32 °C. 🤣

Next heat wave coming up?

Still a few days to go, luckily, and these models aren’t super accurate … we’ll see …
@david@daiwei.me Yes!
So, a hobby OS, just like Linux was for Linus?
Although this is really an exercise is self-hosting a lagnguage, then self-hosting the language to build a self-hosting OS. It’s all meta-circular.

I just taught the scc SLOC tool I use how to detect and recognize the Mu programming language. So it’s actually a bit worse than your estimate. It’s more like ~60/30 at the moment:
>>> mu = 1445
>>> asm = 2365
>>> T = mu + asm
>>> mu / T * 100
37.9265091863517
>>> asm / T * 100
62.07349081364829

@david@daiwei.me It’s somewhat expected to have a fair bit of Assembly (machine code) to get some of the bits you need going. But I think I can reduce this a bit. Let’s see…
