In-reply-to » (#uug3i5a) @prologic I don’t understand what’s happening. It often happens with @aelaraji Replies are often simply disconnected.

@bender@twtxt.net It isn’t @aelaraji@aelaraji.com’s fault at all here 😅 I think the only way I can improve this somewhat is by introducing a similar convergence that I believe @movq@www.uninformativ.de built for Jenny which would fetch the mentioned feed temporarily to see if it contains the subject being replied to (in case it’s not in the cache).

I’ll think about doing this too, but I have to do it carefully so as not to cost too much in terms of resources or performance…

In-reply-to » A visual flow chart diagram that illustrates how two different but very related concepts can lead to system accidents 👌 Media

These ideas are dr the two books:

  • Drift into Failure: From Hunting Broken Components to Understanding Complex Systems by Sidney Dekker (2011)
  • Engineering a Safer World by Nancy Leveson (2011)

The former I haven’t read. The later I haven’t finished reading 😅

And the idea of asynchronous evolutions comes from system accidents where control failures emerge when system structure, constraints, and evolution are poorly managed.

The idea of drift into failure is small normal adaptations erode safety over time without people noticing.

In-reply-to » @andros One thing I really liked about the hacker news rss feeds is the link to the comments. Reckon you can add that to the feed? 🤔

Here’s an example of what you end up with (I don’t follow the feed, but it’s in my pod’s cache)

In-reply-to » @xuu or @kat Do either of you have time this weekend to test upgrading your pod to the new cacher branch? 🤔 It is recommended you take a full backup of you pod beforehand, just in case. Keen to get this branch merged and to cut a new release finally after >2 years 🤣

@kat Yes see UPGRADE.md – I believe @xuu@txt.sour.is is now running this live after a couple of hiccups and a bug fix. So yeah if you can, that would be cool, basically looking for early beta testers (I was the alpha tester 🤣)

In-reply-to » Anyone watching/watched Black Mirror Season 7? 😵‍💫😵 I've been watching the first episode and a couple of minutes into the third act then I was like ... Oh boy, I need a break! They're just so Fu__ing good, I'll give them that!

Can’t say I’ve been watching Black Mirror no.

In-reply-to » I’m thinking of building a hardened peering protocol for Yarn.social’s yarnd: pods establish cryptographic identities, exchange signed /info and /twt payloads with signature verification, ensuring authenticity, integrity, and spoof-proof identity validation across the distributed network.

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣

In-reply-to » @aelaraji oh nooo i've been there. i have to balance out my abnormal coffee consumption with my anxiety medication which can't be good lol

@kat my rule of thumb is try not to drink any caffeine past midday. This is basically based on experience and the half-life of caffeine in your system.

In-reply-to » Also, I should cut down on coffee. Seriously, I've nearly had a ... I honestly don't know what it was; A Panic attack? A heart attack? I dunno, I just felt like my heart and lungs were so about to burst I had to go for a run to cope.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com sounds like a panic attack to me 🤯

In-reply-to » "Here’s what we do know: After their meeting ended and Vice President Vance left the room, the pope was still alive. We can deduce that he was alive, because he was heard asking an assistant, “Ho appena incontrato il volto del diavolo?” which roughly translates to, “Have I just encountered the face of the devil?” It’s a very common question that has been asked in many languages after encounters with JD Vance."

@bender@twtxt.net I wish we could fire presidents and Prime Minister’s when the need arises and the people recognize it needs to happen rather than having to wait for the next election

In-reply-to » I had Chick-fil-A breakfast today (sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, hash browns, coffee, and orange juice). Then at lunch my work place offered hot dogs. I had two (kosher, if that matters), plus a coke, a macadamia nuts cookie, and a small chocolate brownie.

@bender@twtxt.net Holy moly 🤣 Bases on your description you’ve eaten and drunk way more than I have today where all I’ve had so far is three coffees today

In-reply-to » Today's stroll was really nice. Just around 11km in total I'd reckon. We had a barbie at a mate's garden where everybody went on a hunt for an easter basket. Oh boy, what a preparation that must have been! Baking the bunnies, dying the eggs, mixing the bear leek butter and so on. That's dedication, let me tell you. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Love those green roll’n hills 👌 Btw, what’s that rickety ‘ol shed in 18? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net So Vance killed the pope? 🤔

In-reply-to » I open a discussion thread: why didn't the registers work? Will they work later? #twtxt

My Hypothesis for why registries didn’t work and why they still won’t really work today is because the bend the rules of “true” decentralization a bit. Users have to pick one or more registries to “register” to. Why would they want to do this? What is their incentive to do so? Then on the other hand, users need a client that has registry support, but now which registry or sets of registries do you choose?
