You’re right @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com I just watched Australia Post Outrage: Did She Need To Go?

and I do believe I’ll start adding this to my “watchlist” – I don’t use Youtube specifically (because privacy eroding garbage); but the content this guy produces is awesome! 👌

Scotty from marketing really needs to be fired! Can we even fire Prime Ministers besides calling an election? 🤔 The more you dig into our #Australian #Government the more you realize just how fucking corrupt they all are and have been over so many years. How?! 🤦‍

@prologic@twtxt.net I think this is awesome. I’m proud to be part of this.
Annnd… I need to learn go. No money here, but at least I would make some cool PRs (or MRs?)

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com the things Gemini has going for it are mutual TLS and lack of JavaScript. Which makes for a secure albeit boring experience (much like gopher). The fake markdown is a bit of a drag.

A render mode for Gemini probably wouldnt be too hard. There are markdown to Gemini libs out there.

With Web3 the whole trust a 3rd party browser ext + high fees + env impact for compute and storage are serious no gos for me.. I have heard one too many horror stories about clicking the wrong link and some script draining your metamask wallet.

@prologic@twtxt.net why were they even working? Did they think a big warehouse full of shelves of dangers would be safe?

@stackeffect@twtxt.stackeffect.de I’d say you are future ready! 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org one of those tadpoles will one day be a beautiful, succulent, frog. “Hmmm, froooog…” (with Homer Simpson accent).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I thought it was just me. I drives me nuts to try reading on that page. I guess I am no longer capable to look at old CRT monitors without side effects.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org more often than not, it is! I mean, I try to go over the changes, but soon find myself in a web (not pun!), all entangled. Then say, “screw it!” and to the bin it goes. 🥴

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

I feel like README will need a rework soon. There’s a lot of options now. Or maybe a manpage instead.

For example that local_twtxt_dir MUST end in path separator should be mentioned somewhere ;-)

@prologic@twtxt.net
I think they were addressed till certain extend. I will check them out, and close as appropriate.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Just wondering whether any of these issues can be closed or have been done? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s as good as it gets for Winter here. I mean, leaves will fall, but that’s about it.

@prologic@twtxt.net former CEO of Twitter and countless ETH/NFT scammers

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Great work! I wish we could make all those BIG twtxt writers to use it ;-)

I’ve a problem with local_twtxt_file not beeing supported any more. Being forced to use twtxt.txt as file name breaks at least my URL.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ah and here I am pronouncing it in my head like an abbreviated version of Lysine

.

Thanks to @TANTlab@twitter.com and @birkbak@birkbak.neocities.org for havning me today at AAU CPH🙏 Presentation notes can be found at: http://darch.dk/aau-tool-talk/

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com @darch@twtxt.net y’all got a passcode for that zoom link?

@thecanine@twtxt.net been there a few times! Thank goodness for mosh for when trying to debug from spotty GSM connection and having ssh drop out every few minutes.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Me when I find myself crossing an international border, close to midnight, using free bus WiFi, spammed by messages from people, telling me that the server hosting my web-apps is down. 😂
*Only happened once so far

🎄 So Christmas begins! 🎄

Last year my girls did these Advent of Christmas things:

This year is no different! 😁

Last year I did the Advent of Code challenge 👨‍💻 This year will be no different! 🤣 — Starts in 8hrs from now for me.

Who will join me? 🤔 I will be Yarning all my solutions 😅

#AdventOfChristmas #AdventOfCode #2021

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Awesome!

@thecanine@twtxt.net thoughts and prayers

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, is removing the hash from the body of the twt on the TODO? I read it, but I am unsure if it is there already, or not. 🙈 Sorry if it is, and I failed to spot it!

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com tbh I wish it were the nick.txt

Like txt.sour.is/xuu.txt

@prologic@twtxt.net you get your infra all fixed up?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org What the heck? no emoji? do you even Unicode!

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Yes. there is a –flag for it. i have mine set for some crazy long time.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org So.. in the great wisdom of markdown parser.. it only provides the Title and deletes the alt. :D i guess i could write out the alt and title as the same value

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org https://arrakis.netbros.com/conv/pbd43lq

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org there was an old tool for encrypted volumes that you could use random files as the unlock keys. And you could havemultiple hidden volumes that would unlock depending on the files supplied

@prologic@twtxt.net

JavaScript : web apps

I understand the hate for JavaScript. But what option is there for writing web enabled applications for desktop / mobile?

🤔 👋 Reconsidering moving Yarn.social’s development back to Github: Speaking of which (I do not forget); @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com and I were discussing over a video call two nights ago, as well as @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org who joined a bit later, about the the whole moved of all of my projects and their source code off of Github. Whilst some folks do understand and appreciate my utter disgust over what Microsoft and Copilot did by blatantly scraping open source software’s codebases without even so much as any attempt at attribution or respecting the licenes of many (if not all?) open source projects.

That being said however, @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com makes a very good and valid argument for putting Yarn.social’s codebases, repositories and issues back on Github for reasons that make me “torn” over my own sense of morality and ethics.

But I can live with this as long as I continue to run and operate my new (yet to be off the ground) company “Self Hosted Pty Ltd” and where it operates it’s own code hosting, servicesa, tools, etc.

Plese comment here on your thoughts. Let us decide togetehr 🤗

#yarnsocial #github #opsnsource #copilot #microsoft

So thanks to @xuu@txt.sour.is digging both alt and title attributes actually work in yarnd like

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You can always use a 5GB video file if the UI hashes it with SHA512 before posting to the server.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com (#twksmyq) IPv6 because localhost -> ::1 is preferred on linux over ol’ 127.0.0.1

Now this is very useful.. it means when yarn is doing an HTTP request to itself its not closing the connection. that could mean a http.Response Body is not getting closed.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com You might not want to .. like the other tiktok it is rather pointless noise. Especially because its set to my personal timezone.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com it sticks around for my pod :D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Got down sat on a Fork!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wow! your very own customized cutlery holder? nice!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org FORK

@prologic@twtxt.net :D

@xuu@txt.sour.is Now you’re just taking the “mickey” out of me 😂 Good night! 🥱 😴

@prologic@twtxt.net

did some debugging and it looks like the advanced URL was breaking. @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com @movq@www.uninformativ.de can you try the wkd now?

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Yeah.. mine is all server side.. so it doesn’t make much sense to be encrypt/decrypting anything. :D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Super awesome! Running the latest now.

Hmmm so… We seem to have a few pods offline in the network 😂 Also 😢

• @jlj@twt.nfld.uk’s twt.nfld.uk => 504 Gateway Time-out
  
• @adi@f.adi.onl’s f.adi.onl => 200 OK but doens’t appear to be a pod anymore?! 🤔
  
• @eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com’s personal pod => offline due to lack of Solar/Battery power? 😅
  
• @lohn@tw.lohn.in’s personal pod => 503 Service Unavailable
  

It’s a bad day for Yarn.social 🤣

Good thing it’s all decentralised 😉

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net also… So its not part of the file have it hosted at scheme://hostname/twtxt.sig

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m not really big on WoT. (I think openpgp keyserver strips those signatures out. ) there needs to be a better way.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de keys.openpgp.org is a descent key server. They only publish a key the at has a valid email.
