In-reply-to » @bender I built my own, a much smaller one with a multi stage build... shouldn't that do the trick? šŸ¤”

@bender@twtxt.net Dud! you should see the updated version! šŸ˜‚ I have just discovered the scratch #container image and decided I wanted to play with it… I’m probably going to end up rebuilding a LOT of images.

Got waaaay too many toys to play with lately, I might just have the right toy to rule them all: nb and all of it’s juicy options for organizing tasks, notes and bookmarks… etc. all from terminal.

No he jugado tanto el Pokemon TCG, mƔs que en Game Boy y ahora en telƩfono.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.pokemon.pokemontcgp

Es un juego que, al menos en la primera parte, estĆ” muy bien hecho, aunque al poco tiempo se acaba el factor ā€˜wow’.

Como vemos en ā€˜Leyendas y Videojuegos’, el juego móvil es mĆ”s una demostración para una experiencia de como serĆ­a que colecciones las cartas

Siento que mucha gente va a interesarse en coleccionarlas gracias a este ā€˜demo’.

In-reply-to » I guess I should setup some kind of past-bin or something, I bet somebody's already angry about them last couple of long twts šŸ˜… Sorry, not sorry! but I'll try to fix that.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just seen that one as well as MicroBin on selfh.st , it looks prettier on your instance than it did on their live demo šŸ˜†. But I’ve already started playing around with microBin and will see how things go from there.

Wanted to share that we’re so proud of our six year old son; after taking skating lessons himself, he taught me and my wife how to stop on skates today. He was so proud about that he could teach us something good. Enjoyed also playing table tennis with him in the park, even-though it got windy, we had fun and didn’t give up trying to have a decent game. And at the guided tour at the old hot-metal plant in Duisburg yesterday, he asked the best questions and could be the guide’s assistant - holding the flashlight.

played this by feel. such a cool day with a breeze making everything feel comfortable. at around 3 or 4 miles in i realized my pace was probably pretty quick and told myself i would just attempt to maintain. near mile five it started to hurt but just pushed through and got a pb!

In-reply-to » Been curious to see if can filter out my access.log file and output a list of my twtxt followers just in case I've missed someone ... I came up with this awk -F '\"' '/twtxt/ {print $(NF-1)}' /var/log/user.log | grep -v 'twtxt\.net' | sort -u | awk '{print $(NF-1) $NF}' | awk '/^\(/' spaghetti monster of a command and I'm wondering if there's a more elegant way for achieving the same thing.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah I’ve played with it for a bit and read through the code hoping I could steal some of your regex. I’m trying to up my awk(1p) game but failing miserably. šŸ˜†

I installed GrapheneOS for the first time on Wednesday last week on a used Pixel 7a, and I’m impressed. Installation was almost seamless, and I was able to do it from another Android phone. I’ve run into very few wrinkles, even using Google’s proprietary apps with GrapheneOS’s ā€œsandboxedā€ version of Google Play Services. The main problems I’ve noticed: I can’t cast, and Google Timeline doesn’t seem to work (though I imagine the intersection between people keen to use GrapheneOS and keen to have Google log their location history is pretty small).

In-reply-to » After the behaviour of a clearly very angry feed author over the past few days, I'm very tempted to give up on Twtxt and allow it to go back to being dead. What really is the point of building and supporting a way to exchange little pieces of text with one another in a completely decentralised way, if you're just going to keep humping up against such hostility? I don't know why I do this anymore.

the test would be: how often does unwanted content get pushed on your feed? do incongruent posters easily disrupt harmonious connections? &c. less about the community, more about how the social dynamics play out as various groups and individuals interact.

More thoughts about changes to twtxt (as if we haven’t had enough thoughts):

  1. There are lots of great ideas here! Is there a benefit to putting them all into one document? Seems to me this could more easily be a bunch of separate efforts that can progress at their own pace:

1a. Better and longer hashes.

1b. New possibly-controversial ideas like edit: and delete: and location-based references as an alternative to hashes.

1c. Best practices, e.g. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

1d. Stuff already described at dev.twtxt.net that doesn’t need any changes.

  1. We won’t know what will and won’t work until we try them. So I’m inclined to think of this as a bunch of draft ideas. Maybe later when we’ve seen it play out it could make sense to define a group of recommended twtxt extensions and give them a name.

  2. Another reason for 1 (above) is: I like the current situation where all you need to get started is these two short and simple documents:
    https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/twtxtfile.html
    https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/discoverability.html
    and everything else is an extension for anyone interested. (Deprecating non-UTC times seems reasonable to me, though.) Having a big long ā€œtwtxt v2ā€ document seems less inviting to people looking for something simple. (@prologic@twtxt.net you mentioned an anonymous comment ā€œyou’ve ruined twtxtā€ and while I don’t completely agree with that commenter’s sentiment, I would feel like twtxt had lost something if it moved away from having a super-simple core.)

  3. All that being said, these are just my opinions, and I’m not doing the work of writing software or drafting proposals. Maybe I will at some point, but until then, if you’re actually implementing things, you’re in charge of what you decide to make, and I’m grateful for the work.

All this hash breakage made me wonder if we should try to introduce ā€œmessage IDsā€ after all. šŸ˜…

But the great thing about the current system is that nobody can spoof message IDs. šŸ¤” When you think about it, message IDs in e-mails only work because (almost) everybody plays fair. Nothing stops me from using the same Message-ID header in each and every mail, that would break e-mail threading all the time.

In Yarn, twt hashes are derived from twt content and feed metadata. That is pretty elegant and I’d hate see us lose that property.

If we wanted to allow editing twts, we could do something like this:

2024-09-05T13:37:40+00:00   (~mp6ox4a) Hello world!

Here, mp6ox4a would be a ā€œpartial hashā€: To get the actual hash of this twt, you’d concatenate the feed’s URL and mp6ox4a and get, say, hlnw5ha. (Pretty similar to the current system.) When people reply to this twt, they would have to do this:

2024-09-05T14:57:14+00:00	(~bpt74ka) (<a href="https://yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz/search?q=%23hlnw5ha">#hlnw5ha</a>) Yes, hello!

That second twt has a partial hash of bpt74ka and is a reply to the full hash hlnw5ha. The author of the ā€œHello world!ā€ twt could then edit their twt and change it to 2024-09-05T13:37:40+00:00 (~mp6ox4a) Hello friends! or whatever. Threading wouldn’t break.

Would this be worth it? It’s certainly not backwards-compatible. šŸ˜‚

In-reply-to » @slashdot At least Android has fDroid. Apple is a dominatrix.

@bender@twtxt.net F-Droid is a platform/app that lets you side-load/install and serve android apps without the need for Google’s play store’s blessing. I also use Aurora Store to install Play Store’s apps without having to associate my phone with Google account. 🦾 it makes me feel good about myself 🄸

In-reply-to » @lyse so, is it safe to assume you occasionally, but carefully, vet your feeds, and have contingencies in place to not keep requesting a seemingly dead feed over and over?

Correct, @bender@twtxt.net. Since the very beginning, my twtxt flow is very flawed. But it turns out to be an advantage for this sort of problem. :-) I still use the official (but patched) twtxt client by buckket to actually fetch and fill the cache. I think one of of the patches played around with the error reporting. This way, any problems with fetching or parsing feeds show up immediately. Once I think, I’ve seen enough errors, I unsubscribe.

tt is just a viewer into the cache. The read statuses are stored in a separate database file.

It also happened a few times, that I thought some feed was permanently dead and removed it from my list. But then, others mentioned it, so I resubscribed.

In-reply-to » Came across YTCH yesterday, and it is very addictive. Simple, and well done. You can host it yourself if you want. The trick I haven't figure out yet is how to create the list.json that drives it.

Its like old school TV but with youtube videos. Each channel has a subject and the channels play in a sort of realtime. so no going forward or back. Perfect for channel surfing.

If some of you budding fathers want to know how I created a computer nerd to one day work for Facebook in the big USA, well you purchase a $1000 Xmas present, an enormous thick book with C++ programming, and say, you can play as many games as you like kids, but James has to create them using computer software.

SO James created once a 3D chess program with sound, took 6 months or so, really hard to beat, not based on logic moves point by point like other chess programs, this one was based on the depth of looking for patterns, set it to 5 moves ahead and you were toast every time. Nice program too, sadly gone over the years, computers suffer from bit rot. We used to try and mark rotten hard drive discs once as bad sectors, not sure how UBuntu does this these days, I see a dozen errors on the screen every time I load.

Today I would purchase for my kids AI CAD simulation software with metal 3D printer and get your child to build fancy 3D models and engines from scratch. This will make them an expert in the CAD AI industry by the time they are 14 years old. Sadly AI is here to stay and will spoil the Internet.

I’m still alive ! Here’s a quick, brainless recap dump before I switch back to the other side:

  • Been daily driving FreeBSD on the o(ther)ld machine for the last couple of days.
  • Read through the handbook, played around with jails, pulled on my hair because of network issues (I think I might have maybe fixed that) … etc.
  • Still procrastinating over migrating my Jenny/Mutt setup out there. until then, I’ll be getting my Twtxt fix reading through conversations over on the twtxt.net ✌
  • Gave a couple of Nostr based platforms a try, it was … not for me to say the least.
  • Started learning Emacs (I know, I’m in trouble LOL) and might even start twtin’ from there instead.

In-reply-to » Is Yarn.social dead or just too niche? (uyrrria) 🧐

I think @abucci@anthony.buc.ci and @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no are running snac? I didn’t have a closer look at snac (no intention of running it), but if that is a relatively small daemon (maybe comparable to Yarn?) that gives you access to the whole world of ActivityPub, then, well, yeah … That’s tough to beat.

Yes, I am running snac on the same VPS where I run my yarn pod. I heard of it from @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no, so blame him šŸ˜ snac is written in C and is one simple executable, uses very little resources on the server, and stores everything in JSON files (no databases or other integrations; easy to save and migrate your data) . It’s definitely like yarn in that respect.

I haven’t been around yarn much lately. Part of that is that I’ve been very busy at work and home and only have a limited time to spend goofing off on a social network. Part of it is that I’m finding snac very useful: I’ve connected with friends I’d previously lost touch with, I’ve found useful work-related information, I’ve found colleagues to follow, and even found interesting conferences to attend. There’s a lot more going on over there.

I guess if I had to put it simply, I’d say I have limited time to play and there are more kids in the ActivityPub sandbox than this one. That’s not a ding on yarn–I like yarn and twtxt–I’m just time constrained.
