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 ? 🤔

@me@eapl.mx pues hoy estudié proposiciones lógicas para mejorar las condiciones en mi código. Dando consistencia a mi código después de tantos años 🙄

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net hello @prologic@twtxt.net here’s another feed that’s spewing multiple copies of the same post. This one above is repeated 8 times. @awesome-scala-weekly@feeds.twtxt.net now has 13 copies of each post every week. This definitely looks like a bug in whatever code is generating these feeds, because the source feeds don’t have multiple copies of the original posts:

• Has 8 copies of the above post: https://feeds.twtxt.net/New_scientist/twtxt.txt
  
• Has only 1 copy of the above post: https://www.newscientist.com/feed/home/
  

I forget whether I filed an issue on this before, but can you tell me where I should do that?

@prologic@twtxt.net laughs.. I’m in danger.

[lang=en] By the way, have you played with Station on Gemini?

I like that using Gemtext, you can have a pretty decent microblogging platform. Imagine that with decentralization from twtxt. That sounds appealing to me!

[lang=en] you can find it here: https://github.com/eapl-gemugami/twtxt-php

There are still many things to do, but it’s already usable.

[lang=en] That was the reason for twtxt-php =P
I tried using CLI tools but it was too hacky, I think.
More if we consider Jakob’s Law, where we have prior expectations of a microblogging system.

A Web interface could be quite minimalistic and usable as well. (And mobile-friendly)

I’m using rss on a terminal (Termux) in my phone, it’s more confortable read there articles and other stuff, but for posting on twtxt, I tried , I swear it, but it’s too much, it’s not practical, I have to assume that it’s better in a website/app like this.

Yarn wins!

@prologic@twtxt.net the confusion over these words is rampant 🤦‍♂️

@Planet_Jabber_XMPP@feeds.twtxt.net

The benefits of blockchain implementation across multiple sectors are well-documented

WTF are you talking about? The only thing well-documented about “the blockchain” is that it sucks and its primary use case is creating Ponzi schemes.

@prologic@twtxt.net are you trying to reinvent cloud computing?!?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oof that’s bad

@prologic@twtxt.net hmmm, I might.

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)

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net 😐

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no happy birthday!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @mckinley@twtxt.net I believe the resurgence in availability of municipal WiFi is largely driven by the surveillance capabilities it offers. Every person who has WiFi enabled on their phone can be tracked throughout the city as their phones ping various base stations; a lot of folks aren’t aware of just how much information can be slurped out of a phone that isn’t locked down just from its WiFi pings. I know this happens in Toronto, and I was familiar with a startup in Massachusetts that based its business model on this very concept. I can only assume it’s widespread in the US if not throughout the Western world.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this is excellent advice that I will almost surely heed!

@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net

For those fond of the COBOL programming language

😆

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

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, do you have an example of conf.json in which I can see all the configuration possibilities? Thanks!

@eapl@eapl.mx aquí estamos y te leemos :D

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ll second this–I find it very hard to read too.

me conecta un poco con twtxt. Se siente un poco abandonado y escribir al vacío, aunque también hay muchas personas atrás, con emociones, sentimientos, humanidad.
Es algo que me gusta mucho. Ese sentido de conexión con personas de cualquier lugar del mundo 🌏 , y la profundidad de las relaciones qué se forman.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Can you recommend me some good pixelated fonts?

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, you can mute or block individual users, and you can mute conversations too. I think the tools for controlling your interactions aren’t so bad (they could definitely be improved ofc). And in my case, I was replying to something this person said, so it wasn’t outrageous for his reply to be pushed to me. Mostly, I was sad to see how quickly the conversation went bad. I thought I was offering something relatively uncontroversial, and actually I was just agreeing with and amplifying something another person had already said.

@prologic@twtxt.net attacking the person, not the idea. It’d be like if you said “yarn is better than mastodon because it isn’t push based” and someone who disagreed with you said “well you think that because you’re an idiot” or something like that.

@prologic@twtxt.net when will we have Y coin, the decentralized crypto money of yarn social???

Después de un buen fin de semana retomo el twtxt. Se siente un poco solitario que no tengo muchas respuestas, aunque sigue siendo muy emocionante cuando llega una.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no “it might provoke Russia”

@prologic@twtxt.net do they censor you???

@prologic@twtxt.net It was super useful if you needed to do the sorts of things it did. I’m pretty sad.

At its core was Sage, a computational mathematics system, and their own version of Jupyter notebooks. So, you could do all kinds of different math stuff in a notebook environment and share that with people. But on top of that, there was a chat system, a collaborative editing system, a course management system (so if you were teaching a class using it you could keep track of students, assignments, grades, that sort of thing), and a bunch of other stuff I never used. It all ran in a linux container with python/conda as a base, so you could also drop to a terminal, install stuff in the container, and run X11 applications in the same environment. I never taught a class with it but I used to use it semi-regularly to experiment with ideas.

@prologic@twtxt.net wow! The place to go for whiteboard tech is mills.io.

That stinks about Excalidraw. they’ve been saying that (working on adding collab/self hosting) for over a year.

@xuu@txt.sour.is hahaha!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci excellent work on embedding the YO in Hello

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh wow nice, I got it running with no trouble:

@prologic@twtxt.net I see what you mean about tldraw. I looked at their github repository and it seems like they are distributing it as an npm package for people who want to include a whiteboard in their Javascript-based frontend. I didn’t see a way to just launch the thing.

I have half a mind to write a little scala frontend that sets up one of these, since scalajs makes it very easy to use these Javascript web component things while making it look like you’re writing scala.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m a big fan of https://excalidraw.com , especially the collaborative editing feature, but I don’t think you can self-host it 👎

@prologic@twtxt.net whoa that’s so cool!

I’m playing around with snac2, which I think @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no mentioned on here, and I have to say it’s extremely easy to set up and it’s been pretty straightforward so far. I wanted to experiment with having a presence on the Fediverse without going through the process of picking Mastodon vs. Gnu Social vs. Friendica vs. …, and I wanted to self-host instead of picking an instance of one of those. For now I’m abucci@buc.ci, but no guarantees that will remain stable; I’m just testing for the time being.

@prologic@twtxt.net Couldn’t agree more

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @prologic@twtxt.net seconded, that would definitely be nice

I think for me twtxt in the terminal has a better feel than the www twtxt

@eapl@eapl.mx acabándolo que un buen calorcito xD

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @prologic@twtxt.net neat.. I saw this one quite a while ago. it is strictly line of sight and blocked by walls or things. The use cases were to have it integrated in the lights in a room and provide super fast connections to devices in an office or coffee shop.

https://youtu.be/AKvvEqm9Nv4

@prologic@twtxt.net

• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi: long range, can go through walls, fast but not very fast
  
• 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi: much shorter range, cannot go very far through walls, quite fast
  
• Li-Fi: long range (?), cannot go through any walls, very very fast

@xuu@txt.sour.is ah, well, I think it’s on 1.0.x now but it picked up ipv6 support in 0.10.x

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci my last experience with it was with a Debian package which is known for being out of date :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net wow that’s wild. The ISPs I’ve had in the last few years supported ipv6. The one I have now does.
