Twts matching #b

Thinking about doing Advent of Code in my own tiny language mu this year.

mu is:

  • Dynamically typed
  • Lexically scoped with closures
  • Has a Go-like curly-brace syntax
  • Built around lists, maps, and first-class functions

Key syntax:

  • Functions use fn and braces:
fn add(a, b) {
    return a + b
}
  • Variables use := for declaration and = for assignment:
x := 10
x = x + 1
  • Control flow includes if / else and while:
if x > 5 {
    println("big")
} else {
    println("small")
}
while x < 10 {
    x = x + 1
}
  • Lists and maps:
nums := [1, 2, 3]
nums[1] = 42
ages := {"alice": 30, "bob": 25}
ages["bob"] = ages["bob"] + 1

Supported types:

  • int
  • bool
  • string
  • list
  • map
  • fn
  • nil

mu feels like a tiny little Go-ish, Python-ish language — curious to see how far I can get with it for Advent of Code this year. 🎄

In-reply-to » Alright, this yarnd installation has been properly fixed.

cat /etc/mokou/yarnd.conf
exec=/usr/pkg/sbin/daemonize -c/var/db/yarnd -u www -p /var/run/yarnd.pid /usr/pkg/sbin/chpst -e /usr/local/etc/yarnd /usr/local/sbin/yarnd -b 127.0.0.1:[classified information]

I know this might seem a bit overengineered, but the previous command until now had the secrets exposed on the process list

In-reply-to » I just noticed this pattern:

And regarding those broken URLs: I once speculated that these bots operate on an old dataset, because I thought that my redirect rules actually were broken once and produced loops. But a) I cannot reproduce this today, and b) I cannot find anything related to that in my Git history, either. But it’s hard to tell, because I switched operating systems and webservers since then …

But the thing is that I’m seeing new URLs constructed in this pattern. So this can’t just be an old crawling dataset.

I am now wondering if those broken URLs are bot bugs as well.

They look like this (zalgo is a new project):

https://www.uninformativ.de/projects/slinp/zalgo/scksums/bevelbar/

When you request that URL, you get redirected to /git/:

$ curl -sI https://www.uninformativ.de/projects/slinp/zalgo/scksums/bevelbar/
HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2025 06:13:51 GMT
Server: OpenBSD httpd
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 510
Location: /git/

And on /git/, there are links to my repos. So if a broken client requests https://www.uninformativ.de/projects/slinp/zalgo/scksums/bevelbar/, then sees a bunch of links and simply appends them, you’ll end up with an infinite loop.

Is that what’s going on here or are my redirects actually still broken … ?

Design trends I think will take off in 2026
but tierlist

S - move from flat design to more detailed, 3D, more complex logos.

A - glass, not just liquid, Windows Vista, 7, 11,… accessibility concerns, but I like to see it.

B-/C+ - black and white icons, favicons. I did it before it was cool, but it’s getting overused.

E - gradientslop, barely started, already all blends together.

In-reply-to » @bender Really? 🤔

@zvava@twtxt.net Going to have to hard disagree here I’m sorry. a) no-one reads the raw/plain twtxt.txt files, the only time you do is to debug something, or have a stick beak at the comments which most clients will strip out and ignore and b) I’m sorry you’ve completely lost me! I’m old enough to pre-date before Linux became popular, so I’m not sure what UNIX principles you think are being broken or violated by having a Twt Subject (Subject) whose contents is a cryptographic content-addressable hash of the “thing”™ you’re replying to and forming a chain of other replies (a thread).

I’m sorry, but the simplest thing to do is to make the smallest number of changes to the Spec as possible and all agree on a “Magic Date” for which our clients use the modified function(s).
