@bender@twtxt.net This is just a website that cycles through random Youtube channels? 🤔

I guess mentions with .(s) / dot(s) like @eapl.me@eapl.me are valid? 🤔 Or nicks even? 🤔

Fark Youtube is so utterly boring 🥱

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh yes you caught me 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Not copy/paste 🤣 Hand on heart! ❤️ However it was a pretty nice article 😅

Getting Forked by Microsoft • Philip Laine 👈 Yet another pretty sad story of a megacorp (Microsoft) being total assholes 😢

Regex Isn’t Hard - Tim Kellogg 👈 this is a pretty good conscience article on regexes, and I agree, regex isn’t that hard™ – However I think I can make the TL;DR even shorter 😅

Regex core subset (portable across languages):

Character sets
• a matches “a”
• [a-z] any lowercase
• [a-zA-Z0-9] alphanumeric
• [^ab] any char but a or b

Repetition (applies to the preceding atom)
• ? zero or one
• * zero or more
• + one or more

Groups
• (ab)+ matches “ab”, “abab”, …
• Capture for extract/substitute via $1 or \1

Operators
• foo|bar = foo or bar
• ^ start anchor
• $ end anchor

Ignore non‑portable shortcuts: \w, ., {n}, *?, lookarounds.

@bender@twtxt.net No worries 😉

There we go. Restored all the old settings 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Lemme look at the old backup…

@bender@twtxt.net

I am up to increase the length of a twtxt, though.

Recall what we had this set to for this pod? 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Really? Wow! 😂

@bender@twtxt.net Hah 🤣

Just had a freak storm ⛈️ with lots of horizontal rain ☔️ that took out and tripped our internal RCD (again) 😱 Took out our Fibre too (servers were fine, good ‘ol UPS). Need to get a UPS for the Fibre box 📦 Haha 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So cool! 😎 Where’s the time lapse video you used to have of this tree? 🌳 Hmm 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I know 🤣 I found another bug in lextwt 🤦‍♂️ This whole DM / bang-mention thingy has thrown a spanner in the works 🔧 – Even if I wanted to implement it, I’m not even ready to try at the moment 😢

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz (as I was trying to say…), Glad you think so👌 My goal with Yarn.social has always been to provide the best (best that I can anyway) truly decentralised (slow) social experience that uses the Twtxt format under the hood 😅

@xuu@txt.sour.is As I also mentioend on IRC I think this is a. bug?

Holy hell?! When I post this:

Something is swallowing it.

What if I do this…

Nope hmmm

What about here?

Okay they’re not here…

Why are my replies getting swallowed?! 🤔

This expands the usefulness of Twtxt / Yarn.social to:

• Sharing small posts
  
• Sharing links
  
• Sharing media
  
• Having long conversations
  
• Voting on topics, opinions or decisions
  
• RSVPing to virtual or physical events

The nice thing here is that any Ui/UX rendering for a “good user experience” is similar to what yarnd does for Youtube/Spotify/whatever embedding. Plus anyone can participate, even if they don’t really have a client that understand it, it’s just text with some “syntax” afterall.

I’d have to write i up in full, but essentially looks a bit like this (contribived examples follow)…

💡 I had this crazy idea (or is it?) last night while thinking about Twtxt and Yarn.social 😅 There are two things I think that could be really useful additions to the yarnd UI/UX experience (for those that use it) and as “client” features (not spec changes). The two ideas are quite simple:

• Voting – a way to cast, collect a vote on a decision, topic or opinion.
  
• RSVP – a way to “rsvp” to a virtual (pr physical) event.
  

Both would use “plain text” on top of the way we already use Twtxt today and clients would render an appropriate UI/UX.

@bender@twtxt.net I think I could, but I haven’t bothered to do so yet… I’ll try that out later…

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You’re welcome 😇

@bender@twtxt.net Hehe, thanks for fixing this (was) broken thread 🧵 Haha 🤣

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I really think you should fix the # url in your feed to be https:// 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Sure! 👍

   # Layer 4 Reverse Proxy

Am I the only one that’s confused by the discussions, and then the voting we had on the whole threading model? 🤔 I’m not even sure what I voted for, but I know it wasn’t the one that won haha 🤣 (which I’m still very much against for based on an intuition, experience and lots of code writing lately).

@xuu@txt.sour.is Good point! 🤣

OH nevermind. Ignore me. I think @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s feed is a bit weird. Because his url is http:// but he actually hosts a https:// feed with redirects. so things get a bit weird 😢

e.g: @sorenpeter@darch.dk

@bender@twtxt.net I noticed that although the Discover view (and your own Timeline) is much improved with a MaxAgeDays configuration at the pod level, that now some profiles are rather empty. This is only because well, they’re a bit “inactive” so to speak 🗣️ Not sure what to do about this at the moment… Open to ideas? 💡

@bender@twtxt.net According to his @buckket Github profile, I belive so.

There are other tasks LLM(s) are far better suited for, which are also its downsides, and gawd so expensive and unrealistic to run yourself 🤦‍♂️ Do you know what one of these NVIDIA H100’s cost? 💲 That’s right! 🤣 > $50k USD 😱 And many of the models out there require 8 of these suckers 🤣 Each one consumes around ~400W of power each (not including the machine that houses them!)
