@chrisgarrod@twtpub.com Hello 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 🙌

@david@daiwei.me I bet, you’re absolutely right. ;-) Let’s start the countdown: 10, …

@arne@uplegger.eu @david@daiwei.me Most do actually look really good, but of course I prefer the birds. :-)

Can’t have them all, because it’s even harder to spot counterfeit notes I reckon.

@david@daiwei.me Hahaha, I love it! :‘-D I need very high precision pliers.

But now I’m owed something for that! Nearly made up for it. I can use the new clamp to press hard and shrink the coin a bit.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de give up on what?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL 🤣

@david@daiwei.me I’ll find one 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de “when this stuff still mattered” LOL, true :-D

Right, the good old pen test! Never gets old. :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That sounds pretty elaborate. We did something similar last year (when this stuff still mattered, lol), but it was super easy to spot.

And then there was this, of course: 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Zur Hardware zurückzugehen merke ich hier (noch?) nicht. Aber sonst alles andere, ja und ja. Ganz genau.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de When a mate was learning Czech a few years ago, he sometimes told us about some crazy words and sentences. But it could very well be that these were out of norm extremes. Not sure. You’re right, I also expected a little worse. :-)

@thecanine@twtxt.net Hahaha, this is cool! :-D

@thecanine@twtxt.net This is brilliant, I love it. 😃

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org there is a Czech song, intentionally written to include no vowels except “a”, with “a” being included in every word, except the one letter long ones:
https://youtu.be/eB1cL4I5OZ8

This is obviously not common, and the author is a legend for accomplishing this.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hmm! I expected worse. 😅 (Never heard Czech in person.)

@prologic@twtxt.net I only have one potential machine for this: My old netbook. I don’t want to accidentally brick it, though … 😅 It was scary enough to run my own OS on this.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

Aber Auslöffeln werden es trotzdem wieder ganze andere Leute müssen. Wie immer. Das ist das bittere an der Sache. Trifft immer die Falschen.

Prinzessin Müllabfuhr. Den Namen mache ich mir jetzt zueigen. Mich dagegen wehren kann ich eh nicht. 😐

Kollege meinte mal halb sarkastisch, irgendwann werden Firmen dann wieder Menschen einstellen, weil die billiger sind.

Wir gehen teilweise von Cloud-IaaS-Hostern wieder zurück zu Hardware, weil das billiger, flexibler, schneller ist … Derzeit zumindest. Die Cloud-Hostern kommen mit dem Nachkaufen von RAM nicht hinterher, sodass ständig „die Cloud voll“ ist. (Und, ja, natürlich wird sich darüber heftigst aufgeregt, aber dass das genau am eigenen Verhalten, nämlich der religiösen Liebe zur AI, liegt, merken sie nicht.)

Es ist auch jedes Augenmaß weg. Die „fette“ Kiste mit 64 CPUs, 256 GB RAM und 2 TB Platte wird nach allen Regeln der Kunst vollgekleistert. Irgendein Furz-Workload braucht 24 GB RAM, aber das ist jetzt normal und wird akzeptiert. So ist das jetzt halt.

@david@daiwei.me if you have some weekend home type place, with no Internet, getting TV through an antenna and a DVBT box, my recommendation is to just buy some old Dell monitor with HDMI to 3.5mm audio output built in, so you can connect speakers to it.

Doesn’t have to be Dell, but you can often just buy one of those from your employer, for under $25 here.

Were this sadly makes much less sense, in with Internet TV services. Those usually need a dedicated TV app to function and while that can be replaced with a $200 TV box, that some providers force you to rent, thus making you pay more for your Internet TV forever - this also means giving up the “archive app”, that gives you access to all the on demand content, included in the price of your mandatory TV license. None of these overpriced boxes come with it, as they’d mauch rather make you pay, for yet another subscription service instead.

So yes, you can kinda do it with an Internet TV too, assuming you trust the expensive box to not spy on you, but in that case you’re mostly just paying a whole lot more, for a lot less, than you would be, with the LG TV.

@david@daiwei.me I don’t believe in impossible! 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Good question. Short answer, I don’t know. But I’ll look at this a bit more closely.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No I haven’t :/

Just out of curiosity, have you ever ran this on real hardware? 😃

Only QEMU. Would you like to help test it on real hardware? 😅 I’m not sure I have anything worth testing it on!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe it’s already too late ‘o clock, but I don’t find it overwhelmingly crazy. The Czechs, on the other hand, do they even know what vowels are? :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Da hilft nur, die alle mit vollem Karacho gegen die Wand fahren zu lassen. Aber Auslöffeln werden es trotzdem wieder ganze andere Leute müssen. Wie immer. Das ist das bittere an der Sache. Trifft immer die Falschen.

Kollege meinte mal halb sarkastisch, irgendwann werden Firmen dann wieder Menschen einstellen, weil die billiger sind.

@prologic@twtxt.net Just out of curiosity, have you ever ran this on real hardware? 😃

Hm, interesting: https://git.mills.io/prologic/muos/src/branch/main/nucleus/nucleus.asm You’re clearing the VGA buffer in each mode (real mode, protected mode, long mode). Why’s that? Wouldn’t it be good enough to only do that after you’ve reached long mode? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ja und auch so: „Raus mit den Entwickler:innen! Das Marketing macht seine Software jetzt mit KI selber!!1!“ Kannste dir alles nich ausdenken. (Jaja, ist natürlich im Moment billiger. Aber diese Kurzsichtigkeit …)

@david@daiwei.me I seei tnow 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Pff, wer will schon Ansätze von Qualität? GESCHWINDIGKEIT!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net @david@daiwei.me I agree about @xuu@txt.sour.is (still a few months left before hitting this timeout). :-D

But I don’t know the feeds anymore, because, well, I deleted them. :-D

@david@daiwei.me Yeah, it’s a bee keeper channel. Oh, with all the epoxy, this handle is really strong.

@lafe@tilde.club Try again, that’s only a quarter of the year! :-P

@thecanine@twtxt.net This is of course disgusting! I have first hand experience with my neighbors next door where I told them about one of their LG (older models) “spying” on what they were watching. I’ve of course since blocked that shit™ at the network level for them, But man, don’t ever buy LG. In fact don’t ever buy any of this “Smart” shit™. Period.

@bender@twtxt.net probably just too busy with real life and work to interact with us plebs 🤣

@david@daiwei.me Danke 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org which ones?

@david@daiwei.me Go ahead and grab something, mate!

@david@daiwei.me Cool! 😎 Though I think this can be improved somewhat.

@david@daiwei.me Might not have tested that path very well. Can you make a note of this on Gitea?

@david@daiwei.me you’re not missing anything. It is only set on grant / connection time. If you disconnect and reconnect, it should become an option. I haven’t figured out how to refresh capabilities.

@david@daiwei.me You’re not missing anything. It is set on grant / connection time. So disconnecting and reconnecting will give you that option. I haven’t figured out a way to refresh backend capabilities like this.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Great, I had some cherries. :-)

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com You are most welcome! 🙏

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com twtd landed too 🥳 Hosted feeds (twtpub.com) and self-hosted twtd can publish # follow = now — the operator offers it with --allow-follows, then it’s the same toggle in Settings. Off by default at both ends 👌

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Both 😅 Just shipped: Settings → Backup & restore. Export everything (or follows only) as a JSON file and import it back — or feed it any twtxt.txt and it’ll harvest the # follow = lines. There’s a copy-paste # follow = block in there too if you’d rather hand-edit 👌

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com So we going with an Import/Export feature? Or would you also like optionally to write # follow = into the feed too? 🤔 Can do either/or or both.

@david@daiwei.me This has now been fixed! 🎉

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com I think it would have to be specific to the App itself. So say you somehow didn’t save a recovery key or some shit™ You could still get back up and running with ease if you had exported a config? 🤔

Okay I’m fixing this in lextwt, yarnd and twtxt.app (takes a different path). Soon you’ll be able to write shit™ like (<this>) and it’ll get escaped and rendered correctly on the page. Basically you are really writing HTML here, but not intending to do so, Twtxt never supported HTML, and I don’t think it ever should. We extended the format to support basic Markdown, and I think that’s where it should end.

Probably time we wrote a Spec for this really.

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Based on your description, I think it makes snse to have an Import/Export settings in the UI? RIght? 🤔

@david@daiwei.me Kk I’ll look into it 👌

@david@daiwei.me I mean we can probably do that I suppose. I’d make it an option in Settings though?

@david@daiwei.me I see it now. Is this also a problem in the app too? Or just yarnd or both?
