</> htmx - high power tools for html really liking the idea of htmx 🤔 If I don’t have to learn all this complicated TypeScript/React/NPM garbage, I can just write regular SSA (Server-Side-Apps) and then progressively upgrade to SPA (Single-Page-App) using htmx hmmm 🧐

Why don’t more people borrow to invest and increase their portfolio and wealth? 🤔

So what do we think of the Reddit IPO? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net That’s what I also don’t understand. What is driving all this pierced hate and ignorance in the world lately?!

wat da fuq does being “woke” even mean?! 🤦‍♂️

Update on my Fibre to the Premise upgrade (FTTP). NBN installer came out last week to install the NTD and Utility box, after some umming and arring, we figured out the best place to install it. However this mean he wasn’t able to look it up to the Fibre in the pit, and required a 2nd team to come up and trench a new trench and conduit and use that to feed Fibre from the pit to the utility box.

I rang up my ISP to find out when this 2nd team was booked, only to discover to my horror and the horror of my ISP that this was booked a month out on the 2rd Feb 2024! 😱

After a nice small note from my provider to NBN, suddenly I get a phone call and message from an NBN team that do trenching to say it would be done on Saturday (today). That got completed today (despite the heavy rain).

Now all that’s left is a final NBN tech to come and hook the two fibre pieces together and “light it up”! 🥳

Feedback on why I didn’t choose Mattermost (lack of OIDC) · mattermost/mattermost · Discussion – My discussions/feedback on Mattermost’s decision to have certain useful and IMO should be standard features as paid-for features on a per-seat licensed basis. My primary argument is that if you offer a self-host(able) product and require additional features the free version does not have, you should not have to pay for a per-seat license for something you are footing the bill for in terms of Hardware/Compute and Maintenance/Support (havintg to operate it).

@johanbove@johanbove.info With pygame or something else? 🤔

Bah we’ve caught COVID again 🤯

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net I feel like this is a bit of a common pattern? Company builds an awesome product, makes it free for a lot of users, then create additional features and paid plans, makes a tonne of money. But then later decide they need to make more money, so focus on converting the free users to paid users. Hmmm 🤔 Surely this can’t be the only viable business model? 🤔

wtf is going on with Microsoft and OpenAI of late?! LIke Microsoft bought into OpenAI for some shocking $10bn USD, then Sam Altman gor fired, now he’s been hired by Microsoft to run up a new “AI” division. wtf/! seriously?! 🤔 #Microsoft #OpenAI #Scandal

So Youtube rea really cracking down on Ad-blockers. The new popup is a warning saying you can watch 3 videos before you can watch no more. Not sure for how long. I guess my options are a) wait for the ad-blockers to catch-up b) pay for Youtube c) Stop using Youtube.

I think I’m going with c) Stop using Youtube.

The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Plain Text - YouTube

– This is very good 👌

I’m telling ya guys 😅 plex.tv had way better shit™, Get it installed on your own server, get access to free content + your own + whatever and no stupid tracking and bullshit 🤣

Oh okay, so Youtube is cracking down on “Ad Blockers”. Rightio. 🤔 And paying for Youtube Premium costs $14/month?! 🤯 Get fucked 🤣 I guess I won’t be using Youtube anymore. #Youtube #Ads #Premium #Suck

Anyone have any ideas how you might identify processes (pids) on Linux machine that are responsible for most of the Disk I/O on that machine and subsequently causing high I/O wait times for other processes? 🤔

Important bit: The machine has no access to the internet, there are hardly any standard tools on it, etc. So I have to get something to it “air gapped”. I have terminal access to it, so I can do interesting things like, base64 encode a static binary to my clipboard and paste it to a file, then base64 decode it and execute. That’s about the only mechanisms I have.

Hmm when I said “Wireguard is kind of cool” in this twt now I’m not so sure 😢 I can’t get “stable tunnels” to freak’n stay up, survive reboots, survive random disconnections, etc. This is nuts 🤦‍♂️

fractalnetworksco/selfhosted-gateway: Route HTTPS traffic to local Docker containers through a cloud VPS over WireGuard. Ideal for self-hosting behind CGNAT.

How is everyone finding GitHub CoPilot? 🤔 Good / Bad ? 🤔

Is FreeOTP any good? 🤔

Time to write my own S3-compatible Object Storage server 🤣

@eapl.me@eapl.me Hmmm interesting 🤔 Your trying to use 2FA as passwords? 🤔

In setting up my own company and it’s internal tools and services and supporting infrastructure, the ony thing I haven’t figured out how to solve “really well” is Email, Calendar and Contacts 😢 All the options that exist “suck”. They suck either in terms of “operational complexity and overheads” or “a poor user experience”.

Is there a Youtube frontend that doesn’t suck? Requirements:

• Disable all comments.
  
• Disable all public trending.

What if I run my Gitea Actions Runners on some Vultr VM(s) for now? At least until I get some more hardware just for a “build farm” 🤔

@eapl.me@eapl.me QR code printed on paper?

My proof-of-concept Container as a Service (CAS or CaaS) is now up and running. If anyone wants to have a play? 🤔 There’s still heaps to do, lots of “features” missing, but you can run stuff at least 😅

Just been playing around with some numbers… A typical small static website or blog could be run for $0.30-$0.40 USD/month. How does that compare with what you’re paying @mckinley@twtxt.net ? 🤔

Would anyone pay for like cheap hosting if it only cost you say ~$0.50 USD per month for a basic space to run your website, twtxt feed, yarn pod, whatever? 🤔 Of course we’re talking slices of a server here in terms of memory and cpu, so this would be 10 milliCores of CPU + 64MB of Memory, more than enough to run quite a bit of shit™ 🤣 (especially when you don’t need to run or manage a full OS)

Hmm need to figure out a way to squelch the size of my pod’s data directory 🤔

TIL: You cannot use the work “fucking” (to colloquially mean that was “fucking brilliant”, i.e: a compliant) on Discord servers 🤣

So in the wave of all things AI and this roller coaster we’re all on, apparently actors, writers and so on are all on strike. I don’t recall seeing anything in my feeds about this, so I had to ask a few folk in real life wtf was going on there…

Turns out they’re all on strike because they fear that AI/ML models will take over their jobs. There are numerous cases where “tech” has already replaced an actor, now it will just get much easier to do.

Markdown + Git as a database / object store? 🤔

So given’s Google™’s recent policy changes where they now outright and blatantly just admit they’ll crawl, index and feed your (yes your fuckind) writings, thoughts, conversations, etc into their AI models; Should we as a small niche community (still growing) think about perhaps finally building Yarn.social v2 where we have encrypted feeds? 😅

Home | Tabby This is actually pretty cool and useful. Just tried this on my Mac locally of course and it seems to have quite good utility. What would be interesting for me would be to train it on my code and many projects 😅

I played with nlpodyssey/verbaflow: Neural Language Model for Go today a little bit today…. First I had to download a ~2GB file (the model), then convert that to a format the program verbaflow understands which came out to roughly ~5GB. Then I tried some of the samples in the README. My god, this this is so goddamn awfully slow its like watching paint dry 😱 All just to predict the next few tokens?! 😳 I had a look at the resource utilisation as well as it was trying to do this “work”, using 100% of 1.5 Cores and ~10GB of Memory 😳 Who da fuq actually thinks any of this large language model (LLM) and neural network crap is actually any good or useful? 🤔 Its just garbage 🤣

Long 13hr day at work today 😳🤯

Gah apparently I’ve gone and finally caught the wretched COVID virus 😢

👋 Q: How do we feel about forking the Twtxt spec into what we love and use today in Yarn.social in yarnd, tt, jenny, twtr and other clients? 🤔 Thinking about (and talking with @xuu@txt.sour.is on IRC) about the possibility of rewriting a completely new spec (no extensions). Proposed name yarn.txt or “Yarn”. Compatibility would remain with Twtxt in the sense that we wouldn’t break anything per se, but we’d divorce ourselves from Twtxt and be free to improve based on the needs of the community and not the ideals of those that don’t use, contribute in the first place or fixate on nostalgia (which doesn’t really help anyone).

💡 Quick ‘n Dirty prototype Yarn.social protocol/spec:

If we were to decide to write a new spec/protocol, what would it look like?

Here’s my rough draft (back of paper napkin idea):

• Feeds are JSON file(s) fetchable by standard HTTP clients over TLS
  
• WebFinger is used at the root of a user’s domain (or multi-user) lookup. e.g: prologic@mills.io -> https://yarn.mills.io/~prologic.json
  
• Feeds contain similar metadata that we’re familiar with: Nick, Avatar, Description, etc
  
• Feed items are signed with a ED25519 private key. That is all “posts” are cryptographically signed.
  
• Feed items continue to use content-addressing, but use the full Blake2b Base64 encoded hash.
  
• Edited feed items produce an “Edited” item so that clients can easily follow Edits.
  
• Deleted feed items produced a “Deleted” item so that clients can easily delete cached items.
