Watched the third installment of Andor for last night. That was some intense story telling. When it finished I was shaking from how much it had brought me into it all. Just wow.

In-reply-to » To the parents or teachers: How do you teach kids to program these days? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hey pascal bro! My first coding class was with an old Borland Turbo Pascal. I made my own little window manager for the assignments for class.

The teacher didn’t appreciate it much since I had to print out the code to turn it in. My Yatzee game was a stack of pages. 🤪

In-reply-to » @prologic oooh this looks interesting!!! maybe i could play around with it in docker and see how to integrate it with caddy layer4 for TLS + my existing web client and bouncer!!

I have a very old inspired with two-ish nodes. Though you have to be on the DN42 network to reach it.

In-reply-to » Hi, So i made a little MVP registry crawler tool for twtxt. It now has a basic UI to play with. It has a somewhat full history back to about 2018-ish. Plus some interesting bits that were timestamped to earlier.

it adds users by finding them in feeds mentioning or following. Your URL is already added.

Hmm i am not sure how you got the URL with users at the end..

In-reply-to » Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds. I'd like to change that. It's by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these. It doesn't have to be hacky all the time, as you don't need to be a nerd to have a blog. But, for that to happen, someone has to build the tools to improve UX.

Registry format is its own thing. It takes the regular feed and appends nick \t uri \t to it. Its something that existed before yarn got big. There is still a bit of work but I will put together a ui for it to make it easier to view and navigate.

@eapl.me@eapl.me I am currently working on Implementing a registry that is also a crawler. It finds any feeds that are mentioned or in the follows header.

I think @prologic@twtxt.net is also working on one.

Interesting.. so running into an issue where queries only return a partal set of rows if i run in a docker image built from scratch. i have to add the debian root image for it to work. I wonder what file is missing that the root has?

In-reply-to » I need to figure out a way to back off requests to feeds that don't update often.

Hmm I think I can come up with some kind of heuristic.. Maybe if the feed is requested and hasn’t updated in the last few mins it adds to the queue. So the next time it will be fresh.

if it hasn’t updated in a while so i put the request rate to once a week it will take some time before i see an update if it happens today.

In-reply-to » I now subscribed to most feeds in my Go tt reimplementation that I already followed with the old Python tt. Previously, I just had a few feeds for testing purposes in my new config. While transfering, I "dropped" heaps of feeds that appeared to be inactive.

I need to import my yarn cache. It’s sitting at about 1.5G in registry format. That should make things interesting…

neat! my watcher is currently sitting at about 75 MB following over 1500 feeds. only about 200 are currently somewhat active.
