In-reply-to » @prologic @bender @eapl.me I think opening another file is a bad idea because it adds complexity to the clients, breaks the single feed and I think keeping legacy clients will be more complex to add new features in the future. A modern approach is important. I'll be honest, I'm a bit tired of the fight around the direct message. Perhaps, we can remove it as an extension and use the alternative @prologic . My suggestion apparently doesn't like to the community. I have no problem with remove it.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I don’t see any “fighting” here. This is just good experimentation. Unfortunately there hasn’t really been enough time or effort by other “client authors” yet, me especially as I’ve been super busy with ya’ know my “day job” that pays the bills and refactoring yarnd to use a new and shiny and much better SqliteCache 🤣 – I certainly don’t think your efforts are wasted at all. I would however like @doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt encourage you to look at the work we’ve done as a community (which was also driven out of the Yarn.social / Twtxt community years back).

In-reply-to » @eapl.me When it is up and running, I promise to add it to the specification. I will also include some corrections. The nature of twtxt does not allow us to selectively hide clients. It's a problem not with DM, but with any extension. @prologic Yes, it is a security hole. All dm-echo messages are readable. I intend it to be a debugging tool. Maybe I can include a warning message. If many of you see that it is a serious problem, I can remove the links. @xuu It's already much better than Mastodon :P . Maybe we can remove the sender and receiver references with an intermediary register.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Ahh I see 👌

In-reply-to » I am pleased to share with you the #twtxt version of my important news alerts: https://n8n.andros.dev/webhook/f0cfd6a6-60c8-4183-a26d-120bbd25a046

I personally really like the news minimalist (fuck it mentions are kind of broken atm here in the UI :/) feed myself, really good quality, very high signal 👌

In-reply-to » Peering is back 🤞

Oops, I think this pod (twtxt.net) just sync ~1k missing root twts with god only knows which peers 🤦‍♂️ I forgot a couple of important key things:

  • Only coverage with a subset of peers
  • Only converge with trusted peers

Fuck me 🤣 Ooops. Sorry!

In-reply-to » Based on a recent study of the brains of mice I estimated the human brain to have 200B cells/neurons and 50,000T connections. We have several orders of magnitude to go before we reach that kind of scale with these fucking stupid Big LLMs 🤣 And the best part of all? 🧐 It is estimated that the human brain only consumes the equivalent of 5 Watts of power !!! 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah same order of magnitude 👌 No relation mice other than the recent study that precisely measured the number of cells and connections in 1 cubic mm of brain tissue.

In-reply-to » Add support for skipping backup if data is unchagned · 0cf9514e9e - backup-docker-volumes - Mills 👈 I just discovered today, when running backups, that this commit is why my backups stopped working for the last 4 months. It wasn't that I was forgetting to do them every month, I broke the fucking tool 🤣 Fuck 🤦‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Just needed to update the version of the tool I packaged as an OCI image 🤣

There are now two (recentish) quotes I really like these days:

The smartest person in the room is not the one with all the answers—it’s the one who’s brave enough to ask the dumb questions

and

The kindest person in the room is often the smartest
