@prologic@twtxt.net Le Me! both twtd and twtxt.app 👌

🥳 Finally! After nearly 4 years, yarnd v0.16.0 “Silver Sojourner” is out! 🚀 Twt Hash v2, SQLite FTS5 search, HTMX-powered UI, first-time setup wizard and literally hundreds of bug fixes 🐛

Release notes: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/releases/tag/0.16.0

Upgrading is fully automatic — the Twt Hash v2 migration re-fetches all feeds on first start, so expect the first cycle to be a bit heavier. Images on Docker Hub as prologic/yarnd:0.16.0 👌

cc @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @abucci@anthony.buc.ci @shinyoukai@yume.laidback.moe @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club 🙏

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I could in toehry publish a specification for what twtd implements, which forms the basis of the API between twtxt.app <-> twtd, if you wanted to write your own twtd / twtxt.app compatible publishing backend (assuming you didn’t want to use Github/Gitea, etc).

Yeah to @david@daiwei.me’s point re Editing. It’s only really safe to do so if you are sure that no-one has yet fetched your feed or replied to your Twt. But even then, you have to be quick 🤣 Editing/fixing a Twt inside of an existing thread is “oaky”, as long as it also doesn’t get forked and becomes the root of a new conversation 😅

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Thank you for doing this 🙏 – Just a thought… It might be possible for this to be fully automated from the Twtxt Search engine / crawler? Right? 🤔 It has all of the data… I also think it might be possible to distinguish between 1-way feedsa and “real folks” (ya know, 2-ways feeds) 🤣

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Such tilde(s), etc, could in theory just run a twtd instance per user, or if I was convinced enough to make twtd also multi-user capable (optionally) that would also work. But many ~tilde(s) barely implement the Twtxt specs we continue to build and improve (albiet slowly and carefully).

See: https://canvas.mills.io/a/JywwWQwt

We someone need to get @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz to update her pod hmmm 🤔

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Unfortunately I tried to support SFTP but ripped this out as Browsers (which the Swag framework uses under the hood as a framework to build PWA(s)) doesn’t support raw TCP connections. So FTP / SFTP is not possible without hacks like a proxy. Which I don’t really want to support. So only things that have some kind of HTTP API are possible viable publihsing backends right now. That is Github/Gitea, twtd, Yarn, etc.

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That should work. LMK if you run into any issues!

@david@daiwei.me Nice! 😊

So… Quick count. Hands up those who are using the Twtxt App? 🤔 – And who’s also pairing this with the twtd publishing backend?

@david@daiwei.me Good! 👍

@bender@twtxt.net Test!

@bender@twtxt.net @david@daiwei.me Good debugging session 👌 Sounds like the root cause is twtxt.app on mobile — +00:00 timestamps and quoted mentions. I’ll dig into Yarnd’s side of that 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, Yarnd’s mention parser is pretty naive — if twtxt.app wraps the mention in quotes it probably strips them wrong. Worth fixing 🤔

@david@daiwei.me now I am forking:

I see @bender@twtxt.net twtxt just above this one. Good, so far.

@david@daiwei.me bender variable in. First thing I see on Yarnd is that my mention is broken. It was entered between quotes on twtxt.app. Yarnd has always had parsing problems, so I am not blaming twtxt.app this time.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this one:

2026-07-11T17:28:31Z	() No yet. Let’s keep it rolling a little bit longer. I am reply to “[..] I don’t see any broken threads here. 🤔“. I can’t tag followings while on mobile. <-- THIS BROKE

Was a reply to:

2026-07-11T16:39:22+00:00	(#iqqsqst5vokf) @<david https://daiwei.me/twtxt.txt> Well, I don’t see any broken threads here. 🤔

Hmm…

This is how it shows in jenny:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is what I see on twtxt.app (all looks good there, though, but not here, on Yarnd):

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I will dissect the twtxt that one was a reply to, as soon as I get home.

@david@daiwei.me Oh no, what a giant waste of time. :-(

@arne@uplegger.eu Diese Karten sind ja echt winzig. :-)

Aber da fällt mir ein, ich sollte mir auch mal wieder ein Taschenmesser zulegen. Hab ich es doch über all die Jahre geschafft, alle schlussendlich zu verlieren.

@david@daiwei.me Ta, I continued my fun with studying the tcell and cbind code bases for key bindings. My plan is to eventually not only support custom key bindings in the tt configuration file, but also to enable multi-key sequences, such as gg to jump to the top of a list/tree. Or use other vim-like navigation movements like 7j or 25gg etc.

And it turns out there are only a hand full oft tcell/cbind version combinations that work together. Only if all stars align, there’s chance of success. I will probably end up pulling cbind in to simplify my life. There are situations where tcell.EventKey’s triple of key, modifiers and rune are not all that intuitive to me. Let’s see.

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, 15 shows the site. On the left, I had a roll mat on a tarp. I borrowed some “NVA tarps” from the scouts for this trip. The scouts got them from the National People’s Army, the German Democratic Republic’s armed forces after Germany was reunited. They’re 1.75m x 1.75m in size and weigh 1.3kg, quite heavy, but super awesome. One tarp on the bottom, another one to cover up the clothes, shoes and sleeping bag in order to protect against the thaw. Finally, a mosquito net over all that, hung from a rope between two trees.

My mate just used a hammock with a mozzie net on the right hand side. The third tarp served as the luxurious bedside carpet. :-)

We sat on my second tarp to chill and enjoy the sunset and surroundings. It was nice to notice birds etc. die down. It took a really long time for the last light to fade away. Since we have a very high risk of forest fires, we of course couldn’t have a camp fire. But after all the exhaustion, I didn’t even miss it for one second.

Since we had dinner at home before leaving, all we brought were two lye rolls, two grain rolls, two brezels, some sausage and chocolate biscuits for breakfast. From the 2.5l of water, I ended up using 2l. It’s always good to have a little extra, despite the unnecessary weight. We had brekkie a few kilometers further on a bench in the shade. The first bench was already in direct sun.

Our camp site was maybe 30m to the side and a few meters down of a summit path hidden behind some trees and bushes. We were quite lucky, the other side of the hill got quite a bit of a breeze at night. We could hear the leaved treetops making much more noise behind us.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, these kind of dogs should really be strictly forbidden!

It’s not illegal if you own the forest or ask the owner. :-)

@david@daiwei.me Yeah, no clue. But my mate said the dog is disqualified from such adventures in the future. :-)

The temps were supposed to hit 14°C just before sunrise. Since we didn’t bring a thermometer, I can’t tell for sure. I was rather hot in my sleeping bag, so I had to pull out my arms every now and then. My mate’s sleeping bag was a little lighter and, unfortunately, the zipper jammed up. Since it didn’t close all the way, it felt quite a bit cold I was told in the morning. When we got up at 6ish (we said, we don’t care about time at all), it was probably already 16°C if not more. I brought a jumper, but a t-shirt was already nice enough to wear. The jumper just served as my pillow. The mercury raised by the minute then.

Yeah, I circled the spot with a biro to keep an eye on it. Until now, there’s absolutely nothing to see. Looks like I got lucky.

@bender@twtxt.net All the other ones worked but this broke? What’s different here? To which twt hash should this be a reply? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me this one broke. 😭😭😭

@david@daiwei.me forking this one now:

So, a reply on bender’s fork on u2bwyyfbwsxb.

@david@daiwei.me Well, I don’t see any broken threads here. 🤔

@david@daiwei.me and this is a fork on u2bwyyfbwsxb, second twtxt.

@david@daiwei.me good, let’s get this test going. This is simply a reply to iqqsqst5vokf (first twtxt).

@bender@twtxt.net No idea. I can only tell you that the correct hash would have been rwzz277nkyju for this line:

[2026-07-11 14:47:17+00:00] [(#5bpwpdcjnhcz) <a href="https://yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz/external?uri=https://daiwei.me/twtxt.txt">@david<em>@daiwei.me</em></a> (This thread is broken again on my end. Another bug or fix not released yet? 😅)]

Can you figure this one out, @movq@www.uninformativ.de?

This one isn’t showing right on Yarnd (here):

And I don’t know why.

@bender@twtxt.net Ah, the first twts were from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Fastidious/fastidious.github.com/master/twtxt.txt, not https://daiwei.me/twtxt.txt. Fetching the GitHub feed completes the thread. 👍

@david@daiwei.me hmmm, now this one came disconnected. I forked @movq@www.uninformativ.de reply, the one stating it was broken.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hmm, I see the same on twtxt.app, and Yarnd. On twtxt.app:

On yarnd:

@david@daiwei.me (This thread is broken again on my end. Another bug or fix not released yet? 😅)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org But but but but but … is that legal?! 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org No piccies of your camp site? 🤔

We slept in the forest. It was really great except of my mate’s fucking terror dog who was barking and snarling the entire night to each and every sound. I had maybe half an hour of sleep in total. Despite that, it was pleasantly warm. Well, the night, that is. The heat was brutal during the days. Literally streams of sweat were running down on us on the way there in the evening and back in the morning.

Surprisingly, there weren’t any mozzies around at night, I would have lost all safe bets. On the way there, my mate convinced me to take a shortcut through the taller and taller growing grass. It’s been some time that somebody traveled on this track, so we had to search around a bit for the overgrown path where we could cross the mostly dried up creek. In the beginning I said that this will be a bad idea. Lo and behold, I discovered a tick on my inner upper leg the next morning. Luckily, I got it out with my tick hook on the first attempt.

@bender@twtxt.net Immediately reminded me of the German children’s song “Laurentia, liebe Laurentia mein”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q0aky9FvLc

Have a nice weekend!

Well, this looks good, I guess: 🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net Let’s give it a shot! Test!

@bender@twtxt.net Speaking of drawers at the office … this is mine:

Looks a bit sad, eh? 🤣 (Or you could say: Minimalism!)

Fixed the broken hashes in the Twtxt App (https://twtxt.app) 🥳 It was hashing your twts with a client-side timestamp the server never used 🤦‍♂️ Now it keeps the canonical created/hash the pod (or twtd) returns, and the GitHub/Gitea backends write a # url = preamble so every client hashes your feed the same way. Thanks @fastidious@tilde.town for the report 🙏

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net oh wow, looks like a big crowd, for sure! What was the protest (I am assuming it was a protest) about?

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net congratulations, but pics or didn’t happen! 😛
