In-reply-to » @prologic Is it possible to interact with twtxt.net from outside? For example, an search API

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev What do you mean by API? 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).

What use-case did you have in mind?

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

In-reply-to » @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 🤣

So let’s recap… We’ve got Putin waging war against Ukraine. Netanyahu waging war against Palestine. Iran getting involved. Kim Jong Un helping Russia and sending soldiers as resources for Putin’s war. And now Trump has won a 2nd term in the US where we’ll see him scrap EU sanctions and fines against US companies violating EU laws and what else? 🤔

What dafuq is wrong with this world?! 🌍
