Would anyone object to the feeds.twtxt.net service having auth soon™ ? 🤔 I'm tired of the garbage feeds that it has accumulated over tie (spammers) and I want to a) clean it up b) lock it down somewhat.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Is that implementing IndieAuth? 🤔

The idea would be that you’d login with your Yarn.social account on some pod you control/operate or share with a nice person 🤣 – For those unfamiliar, this is called IndieAuth or IndieLogin. ALL Yarn.social pods are in fact valid (have been for years now) IndieAuth Providers. So I can just ust that. This also technically means you could login with your own domain too (more on that later…)
I need an alternative news source… Something I can shove into feeds.twtxt.net that helps me keep up-to-date with Tech and other important news 🗞️ Hmmm 🤔 Suggestions? I can’t stand Slashdot anymore since they’ve decided to come down hard on ad-blockers 🤦♂️

@lime360@lime360.nekoweb.org Down at the moment due to hardware failure of one of my nodes. I have the spare parts to bring it back online, just need to find the time 😅 Sorry for the inconvenience, I just can’t afford to run the search engine right now on the remaining two nodes 😢😢
@arne@uplegger.eu Welcome! 🤗
I am now fully off Cloudflare 🥳

For the record; we consider the new authority on the Twtxt spec(s) going forward (has been for some years actually) to be implementers / primary maintainers of widely used clients. To date that is:

Your favourite social media platform should not be where you get your facts from. You get jokes and share with your friends, but facts they ain't. Get your world news from actual news sources instead.

@johanbove@johanbove.info But which one(s)? 🤔🤔 Serious question; my neighbor next door swears by the BBC and ABC (I’m Australian); but honestly even those news sources are full of political rhetoric and non-facts (opinions, etc) – I have yet to see a single news source of actual facts and nothing more.
StackExchange/dnscontrol: Infrastructure as code for DNS! 👈👈 Now this looks might interesting… I might look into this for managing my own domains and DNS. I note that my current registrar isn’t on the list of supported registrars, oh well, I don’t like OnlyDomains™ much anyway. Anyone familiar with these regisrars?
- AWS Route 53
- CSC Global
- CentralNic Reseller (formerly RRPProxy)

- Internet.bs
- INWX

Hey this could be good news for self-hosters and folks that want to run their own yarnd? 🤔 Vultr is offering 1 vCPU, 500MB Memory and 10GB Storage for FREE! That’s right $0.00 🤣
Cool! 😎 So I can now block ASN(s) 🤣 (And I bet no-one noticed anything)

@andros What do you mean by API?
⤋ Read More
yarnd (which powers Yarn.social pods like twtxt.net) does have an API, however that API is designed for clients to interact with the pod and the user's account and feed. e.g: there is a command-line client called yarnc and I used to maintain a mobile native app (using Flutter).
@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt It is the same API that yarnc the command-line client uses.
Having a lot of fun with Coraza today. A Web Application Firewall library written in Go that also happens to have a Caddy module.

I am now proud to say, that as of this moment, I am off of Clownflare 🤣 Still using Cloudflare for DNS, but no longer proxying through their services or terminating TLS at their edge. Instead, all my sites and services now terminate TLS on my own edge proxy running Caddy+Wireguard (so all ingress is actually egress 🤣) 🥳 #Clownflare #Cloudflare

@prologic It's hosted at home on an computer I didn’t use anymore. It worked well for a few months, and since maybe the beginning of December, it begun to be very slow. But like I said, I have no time for that now, but if I have questions when I’ll look, I’ll think of you 😅 (but I was thinking about installing a new OS before these problems, I may just do that).

@emmanuel@wald.ovh Btw I already figured out why accessing your web server is slow:
$ host wald.ovh
wald.ovh has address 86.243.228.45
wald.ovh has address 90.19.202.229
wald.ovh has 2 IPv4 addresses, one of which is dead and doesn’t respond.. That’s why accessing your website is so slow as depending on client and browser behaviors one of two things may happen 1) a random IP is chosen and ½ the time the wrong one is picked or 2) both are tried in some random order and ½ the time its slow because the broken one is picked.
If you don’t know what 86.243.228.45 is, or it’s a dead backup server or something, I’d suggest you remove this from the domain record.

One thing I’ve learned over the many years now (approaching a decade and a half now) about self-hosting is two things; 1) There are many “assholes” on the open Internet that will either attack your stuff or are incompetent and write stupid shit™ that goes crazy on your stuff 2) You have to be careful about resources, especially memory and disk i/o. Especially disk i/o. this can kill your overall performance when you either have written software yourself or use someone else’s that can do unconfined/uncontrolled disk i/o causing everything to grind to a halt and even fail. #self-hosted
You really cannot beat UNIX, no really. Everything else ever invented sucks in comparison 🤣

One benefit with bluesky is your username is also a website. And not a clunky URL with slashes and such. I wish twtxt adopted that. I have advocated for webfinger to for twtxt to let us do something like it with usernames. Nostr has something like it
