@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.

@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. 🥴

DS9 is best Star Trek. And that last second half of the last season where they go all out. chef kiss

Not sure what is going on with these?

No on gitlab. If its self hosted gitea is best in class.

I can see hosting a mirror on github if only for the redundancy/visibility. Some projects will host but then direct contributions on their self host. Like Go does.

I would suggest using a vanity domain that can redirect tools like go get to hosting of choice. And not require rewriting all the packages any time it gets moved.

JavaScript : web apps

wut?! 😳 seriously?! 🤦‍♂️

Python : small tools

Okay 👌

Go: micro services

Umm bad generalization 🤣 – Example yarnd that powers most of Yarn.social 😂

Java: enterprise software

Yes! Oh gawd yes! 🤣 And Java™ needs to die a swift death!

C: crimes

Hmmm? 🤔 I feel this one is going to have some backslash and/or go the way of “Hacker” being misconstrued to mean entirely different/incorrect things as is what’s happening in the media (for various definitions of “media”).

Yep! https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/branch/master/internal/webmention/webmention.go#L150-L156

New theme for yarn is up now at: https://git.mills.io/sorenpeter/darchTheme
Still needs some work, but please have a go with it and hack away

Now, onto the real question: what to eat? Partner isn’t home, so zero nutritional supplements have been consumed, and I have been lazy enough not to go out to fetch me something. So… hmm, yeah. Going to an eight years old niece birthday “roller scatting” party in an hour, maybe I get lucky with a slice of pizza, or two. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de
Aha! Cool! Not just deleting, but proceeding as if the twt is going to be send. If I :q! on vi it will add an empty line. If, instead, I go :x like I normally do, it works as you said—and as I wanted it. Thanks!

Is it me, or Gmail’s web interface is going down the drain? Using Safari—my default browser—often takes two, or three clicks to open an email. If it weren’t because its search is amazing, I would never visit its web interface.

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com
Seems like you need to make your parser smarter. Go tinker! 😋

Now, if there is going to be some sort of price, which for me equals to profit, then I will twt non-stop until I hit it! 🤣

Having used—and still using—1Password (a password manager) for many years, I have gone through a few stages of disliking/frustration with it. The first was when subscriptions were set in place, the second is now, with their approach for auto-filling under iOS. It is, more often than I would like to, telling me to configure it when I did so from day one. My open support ticket isn’t going too far either.

I wish iCloud KeyChain would mimic some of its features, so I can just dump it. KeyChain has improved a lot, now allowing OTP to be saved with a credential, but it is still not quite there yet.

Apple’s event on Monday is bringing, as always, speculation to the table. One thing most outlets seem to agree is the introduction of an “M1X” chip, thought Apple might call it differently. M1X might also mean, M1(we don’t know what comes after, or next generation). Either way, I would really like to see the return of the 27” iMac, but I will not hold my breath. Nevertheless, Monday is going to be an exciting day for many, including me! 🍎

@adi@f.adi.onl Oh boy… we don’t want to go down that route. There is plenty to know about the Taliban, not just from the news but from people who lived—and still lives—under their “governance”; all of which is, I am afraid, much more accurate than your highschool girlfriend story telling.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hopefully this URL change fixes things. Otherwise I am lost; don’t know what’s going on. 😩

the focus on music thing is going poorly, but i think i have a plan or two what has come together in the last bit gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/posts/2021-09-06-rlog-v/

sad because your world is ending. my world was ending before i was born. take a load off and smoke this j, we were all going to die anyway. that’s just life ^^

i think AP is doomed by its complexity. i want things like the fedi to exist, but they have to be a fuck lot more simpler if there’s ever going to be a big big pile of indie server options that can easily be mutated to suit every group individually. shit like twtxt and gemini gives me hope because they are small enough to fuck with in very small bursts and still get somewhere.

i’m going to be honest with you here: i despise protocol labs. IPFS/FileCoin is a scam. fuck that shit.

these billionaires are fucking stupid. they think they can own space, but once they get workers up there its just a matter of time before stations start going rogue and breaking out of corporate / earth control.

done enough to share i reckon. lots of behind the scenes stuff going on, but i think the basic shape of the thing is there. #micronation https://novoatlantis.nyu.tokyo

When tragedy strikes unexpectedly we cannot just go on as if nothing happened. Our minds need to be given time to deal with the blow. So it is necessary to pause and allow ourselves to process and recover.

A beloved colleague passed away after a terrible car accident a couple of days ago. Thoughts go to her family and colleagues.

the ‘yeet jeffy b into space’ petition is going really well. sign now if you haven’t! https://www.change.org/p/the-proletariat-do-not-allow-jeff-bezos-to-return-to-earth?utm_content=FuckOff&recruiter=852121435&recruited_by_id=8453d7e9-a325-47cd-ac4f-5d30eee874c6&utm_source=FuckOff&utm_medium=FuckOff&utm_campaign=FuckOff

Entirely sensible, & no reason for file storage to match the wire format. I’m just really curious what’s going on on macOS! I can test on hfs+ later.

this entertainment news stream that i’ve been working on has served the dual-purpose of giving me more information to work with to point out systemic flaws that nobody will ever admit exist. i think using an entertainment medium to talk about these ideas is good because its never going to be about winning an argument. we are presenting information in a fun way for the sake of education. a lot of western people are (possibly intentionally) ignorant of their genocidal history and practices that often continue to this day. there is a lot of injustice propping up western hegemony that must be answered for. there is a lot of organizing to do to provide adequate resources to the people that western culture continually treads on. to bring back the beauty that the white man keeps trying to burn down, suppress, or kill in the name of economic progress. https://www.twitch.tv/LeftistsFiteLeftists

we need a fundamentally different way of being it seems. society is broken and wrong and a lot of people are going to die because of that.

now advocating to use way more energy to preserve species that are threatened by climate change. if we aren’t going to head this thing off, might as well lean into deregulation and use nukes to save vital plant and animal species.

I had a Pleroma node up for a little bit. It sort of died for some reason a few months later because its resource usage kept going up.

I keep going back ‘n’ forth on whether to experiment with Pleroma on my Pi. :-) A Tildes post on the sad news that Feneas is struggling has rekindled the fire, oddly. I just like knowing, first-hand, what’s involved in running these services; I feel it makes me a better yarn.social advocate. ^⨰^

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @adi@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Awesome man! Welcome to the Go coding for work club!

Just over a week left to apply to Summer of Code. Plan 9 is in there, and ~200 other good orgs. Go apply and tell students you know. https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/

going all 32bit with my 9grid, who even needs more than 32 bits?

Sure. I think search, if it’s going to exist, should be the client’s responsibility. But I also value the readability of the raw twtxt file a lot more than y’all do.

We built a wind powered vehicle designed to go directly downwind - faster than the wind. This is the second run of our first outing. We intended these first attempts only as shakeout runs. But we ended up doing better than our ultimate goal of twice windspeed. As a result, we’ve now set our goal at 3X windspeed. https://vimeo.com/10477373

we need like 3-5x more space organizations lifting stuff and developing tech for long-term space travel. jeffy b and the muskrat don’t cut it. are we really going to let imperials take the first serious steps into space?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org (#hut4mnq) I am so sorry for you. I left my Java job for Go. Though through “restructuring” its become a Python job.

i’m most interested in systems that are meant to stay small enough for folks to go build their own clients and servers easily and without big teams.

very happy to see progress on this front, i would love to use this as an opprotunity to go over my nawat learning materials again and copy them into a textual format using the new maya unicode allocations when they are ready

counterpoint: it is now the year 2021. if folk were going to develop any infosec hygiene regarding the web browsers they’d have done it by now. ~djsundog

I’m unclear if I’m going to do the twtxt.net discovery protocol; neither my web server nor Plan 9’s default capture agent strings. :-/

@prologic@twtxt.net Looks like twtxt.net is already happy with it, so that’s good! I’m just going to aim for that.

Hey @xuu@txt.sour.is another mention that didn’t render ☝️

@thewismit@twtxt.psynergy.io Hey! It’s easy. Just install the twt CLI with something like:

go get github.com/jointwt/twtxt/cmd/twt/...

Then use it in some hooks/scripts to post some content to your Pod.
