@movq@www.uninformativ.de Luckily, I had a grep -v git at the end, so my repo is still in working order. Phew. I wish find had grep-like --exclude-dir and --exclude options (or the include variants) instead of its own weird options that I never can remember and combine properly.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice Jacob’s ladder. ;-) I had to look up this term, I also found Zig Zag. What do you folks call this in your languages? In German, it’s Hexentreppe (lit. Witch’s Staircase).

@zvava@twtxt.net It is just completely impossible to make v2 backwards-compatible with v1.

Well, breaking threads on edits is considered a feature by some people. I reckon the only approach to reasonably deal with that property is to carefully review messages before publishing them, thus delaying feed updates. Any typos etc., that have been discovered afterwards, are just left alone. That’s what I and some others do. I only risk editing if the feed has been published very few seconds earlier. More than 20 seconds and I just ignore it. Works alright for the most part.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, I’ve corrupted a Git repo or two doing that … 🥴

@zvava@twtxt.net I was about to suggest that you post some examples. By now, we’re pretty good at debugging hashing issues, because that happens so often. 😂 But it looks like you figured it out on your own. ✌️

im unable to figure out why bbycll is not generating posts hashes for @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org’s feed correctly (or at least different from the ones generated by yarn)

i’m pretty sure the timezone is stripped off the offset correctly (2025-09-14T12:45:00+02:00 → 2025-09-14T12:45:00Z) though messing with how the hash is generated i can’t get it to make one that matches…but all other hashes for all other feeds seem to be correct? does yarn use a different canonical url for lyse internally? is there a bug in the libraries im using? bwehhh

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 🙈😂

@prologic@twtxt.net im unsure how i feel about the hash v2 proposal, given it is completely backward incompatible with hash v1 it doesn’t really solve any of the problems with it. it only delays collisions, and still fragments threads on post edits

i skimmed through discussions under other the proposals — i agree humans are very bad at keeping the integrity of the web in tact, but hashes in done in this way make it impossible even for systems to rebuild threads if any post edits have occurred prior to their deployment

@zvava@twtxt.net that makes it even more so exciting! 😂

@bender@twtxt.net just a heads up im thinking of rewriting the database schema with hash v2 in mind >.<

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the problem is that i can not easily show both

@prologic@twtxt.net I completely forgot about that topic … 😂🥴

@zvava@twtxt.net oh?! I shall play more “seriously” with it soon then. Yay!

@zvava@twtxt.net The first version of what is now yarnd was built over a weekend 😀

@zvava@twtxt.net Herw you go: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/pulls/28

@zvava@twtxt.net For the time being, just show both.

@prologic@twtxt.net i just added timeline refresh to bbycll and it is so convincing i almost replied to you from there hehe, can i get a link pretty please :o

@zvava@twtxt.net we have to amend the spec and increase the hash length. We just haven’t done so yet 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net wife is awesome 🙇‍♀️

@prologic@twtxt.net excellent, mate, that’s what we like to read! Enjoy the weekend!

Thanks, @thecanine@twtxt.net. It’s completely horizontal, I don’t see any diagonals. Anyway, it’s great art, happy drawing!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Pretty sure I have many more mentions in the database than the one and only one I see hmmm 🤔 – I’ll have a look at the code when I can and the SQL query it’s using

@bender@twtxt.net interesting 🤔🤔

@bender@twtxt.net yayyyy!!!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i think almost all of the code was written between 10pm-10am :3c

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org no, as mentioned this “diagonal arrow” eye shape, is usually used for a smug expression. The optional white part, is in this case, where the dogs sclera would be visible, while they have their eyes, like this.
Here is a comparison between a real dog, making the face it is based on, and the exaggerated drawn version.

Hahaha, @bender@twtxt.net, you’re just the best with the words! :-D I love it.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Yeah, what @bender@twtxt.net said. That tail is sick. Is this dog crying, though? The vertically elongated eye looks a bit like a tear running down.

@thecanine@twtxt.net super well done! I especially love that tail. I can almost see it moving!

@bender@twtxt.net Absolutely. My computer science teacher was really great and in a lot of aspects very similar. Especially combining the theoretical and practical parts. He’s also the main reason I ended up where I am today. I’m very grateful to him. Mr. Burger, however, takes this on a whole new level.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz hey, hey, good afternoon, happy Friday! Fandom site tag pages count. Word!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz nope, not normal. Something birdy (because why to use fishy all the time?!) is going on.

@zvava@twtxt.net this is so cool…

@zvava@twtxt.net please be sure to get enough rest!!! you’ll be able to make something even better if you’re well rested :)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s an amazing way to teach, and one many old school (I remember my father telling me “schools need to teach both theoretical and practical skills!”) people will agree with. The fact that graduates need to learn on the job after they graduate exemplifies the importance of hands on.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz The duck was in a darker spot, so my camera wasn’t all that happy with the lighting. Upon further inspection, you’re right, now that you pointed it out, I can see it too! The feathers do look like an oil painting. ;-)

@bender@twtxt.net Sadly, it’s super relevant. It’s a really good sketch. I’m actually surprised you know this German series. :-)

@zvava@twtxt.net Yeah, mentions are a great way to discover other feeds.

Regarding the “look at this, but I don’t want to add anything at all”, this never happened to me. Apparently, it seems to be a thing for others.

@zvava@twtxt.net it is amazing how much you have accomplished in such a short time. Take time to sleep, though! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net ty for attempting to test, though, it means a lot! lmk if u find any more silly things i need to clarify or fix :> be prepared for everything breaking during beta :p

@bender@twtxt.net i also recently discovered there was a bug causing new users to initialize wrong leading to their posts not being saved :p ..and made breaking changes to how the config and database files are stored so um, make sure to clear your local tree before updating!

@bender@twtxt.net as the host (eg twtxt.net) determines the canonical url of the instance in generated feed url metadata as well as every hash of every post made on the instance internally, i added this error message to make sure people don’t accidentally set up their instance on localhost :p for testing i set it to localhost:31212 and protocols to ["http"], it’s a recent addition that could definitely do with documenting in the getting started section

@zvava@twtxt.net huh interesting!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org omg this looks like a painting!

@bender@twtxt.net Believe me, I’ve never been more tempted to switch, than now, as Google is one by one, removing (or at last trying to remove) all the reasons why I chose Android, over iOS. In fact, many friends who were fellow “Android diehards”, ended up switching recently.

Sadly what I need is a headphone jack, ability to modify apps on device (decompile, change file, recompile), many specific mods, strong XMPP support, Pixel Station,… nothing switching to iOS, would give me.

@zvava@twtxt.net I am getting [2025/09/11 12:56:01.816] ⇒ please set config.host when trying to run “bbycll”. How to bypass that tiny hurdle?

@zvava@twtxt.net I gave this, in my mind, a like/star/love.

Yes, I know, this is a “bad taste” joke. I appreciate you, @thecanine@twtxt.net!

@thecanine@twtxt.net or, you know, you could get an iPhone. 😂😂😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org retwts are a discovery feature! on federated platforms with no algorithm where you only ever see posts from accounts you explicitly follow, the element of “hey look at this!” helps users to find other accounts they might like organically

i agree quoting and replying forum-style is generally a much better way of doing things even though im a heathen and i revel in the dark patterns inspired by quote posts but when you have nothing to add and you just want to share a twt with your followers it’d be good to have a standardized way of linking to twt
