@prologic@twtxt.net mediacms! it’s janky yeah but it does the job ultimately (even if sometimes videos don’t encode and i gotta do some weird python venv shit to force the encode lol…)

In-reply-to » hey yarn pod hosting friends, how do i enable an SMTP relay in the env settings? i'm trying to get a friend on here and i'm pretty sure my env config is good but it won't send emails even after restarts which is strange. i have the right hostname for mailjet, user and pass are in there, same with from address, i'm wondering if the port is messing it up bc it has to send from 587?

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz ok nvm just temp enabling registrations for this bc it just won’t work lol i’ll play with it another time

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz wondering if the smtp_host variable is expecting something other than just the mailjet hostname…

In-reply-to » Any idea What's this "twtxtfeevalidator/0.0.1" UA about? I thought I could ask before throwing a 1000GB file at it 🪤 could it be the same 'xt' thing @lyse was talking about the other day?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ta! It’s just the millenia old tabs vs. spaces debate. ;-) Here’s a screenshot, that also kinda serves as a preview of the ugly – yet functional – web interface:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh! no need to be sorry and feel free to keep at it if it helps, I don’t mind. It’s just that I’m always on the lookout for corpo-bots and crawlers slipping through the cracks (a fun little game of sorts) 😅 the only thing I let them see is a robots.txt telling them to :diffoff

Also, I’m curious about the invalid lines in my feed. is it something I should lookout for in future?

In-reply-to » In the process of temporarily removing and securing all my hard disks. They’ll be turning this building into a construction site for the next weeks/months. Lots of heavy drilling and hammering. Not sure what this means for spinning disks and I’d rather be on the safe side. 🫤

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I am sure they would have been just fine. Should we assume your main driving machine is on solid state?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear. All the best of luck with that noise! And the disks.

In-reply-to » For some reason, I was using calc all this time. I mean, it’s good, but I need to do base conversions (dec, hex, bin) very often and you have to type base(2) or base(16) in calc to do that. That’s exhausting after a while.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks! I already found it and patched it to run in my ancient Python version (no match keyword and exec(…) only allows globals and locals as positional arguments). :-) https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/mcalc-patched.py.txt

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That sounds super useful! I always used bc and ibase=2/obase=2 for conversions. But your digit grouping is what I always lacked. I gotta switch.

In-reply-to » The fact that the official Python docs don’t clearly state what a function returns, grinds my gears. This has cost me so much time over the years. You always have to read through a huge block of text.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, the Python docs are more like a book. They absolutely shine if you have no idea and read them from top to bottom. The tutorial is baked right in. But they don’t work all that perfect as cheat sheets. I also remember looking for the return types way too long in the past.

I would have thought that this could be easily improved when type hints are in place. And it sure does: https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/httpclient.html#tornado.httpclient.HTTPClient.fetch

In-reply-to » i recorded my first camcorder video!!!! it's just me practicing guitar after sooo long of not playing it. my acoustic, to be specific (well, it's an electric acoustic thing but i can play it without plugging it in lol, i do have a stratocaster though). it's capped at ~30 minutes because i used one mini DVD for it and decided i wasn't gonna use another one to extend the run time. so yeah. it was super fun! i hope i can share it soon, i'm ripping the disc with make MKV right now, then i'll re-encode to a web friendly format, and upload to my site and hope that works well

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh cool, I wish I had a similar subject in school. :-)

I cobbled that together yesterday, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com. Since I was too lazy to write some tests, I simply hit your feed as I knew it contains two invalid lines right now. Sorry mate! :-( Next thing is to actually write some proper tests, improve the messages, etc.

Here’s the code: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/validator

Looking forward to that, @prologic@twtxt.net. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woah it’s like a cheatsheet with explanations! java is kind of arcane magic sorcery to me so i’m having trouble understanding it but i have that with most programming languages. this is like so much easier to actually look at and read instead of my eyes glazing over lol

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh nah it came out like that lol! i actually love how squished it looks it feels accurate lol

oh yeah i think i might have a tripod around but i do need a sandbag or something i could use as one. maybe yeah a giant bag of rice could work LOL. thanks for the tips!!! i took a video class last year in college and we worked with cameras and tripods with sandbags so it was on my mind

In-reply-to » need to come up with ideas for camcorder videos... i have one but it's just 'talk in front of camera about fave songs i listened to in 2024' and i wanna do more fun things even though rambling in front of cam is already fun af

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah! as long as it’s fun :D experimenting with it like picking up the camera every once in a while to point somewhere else, or in editing inserting more video in between the static angles, that could be fun!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Static angles for too long get indeed a bit boring to watch in my opinion, but just experiment with it. What’s the worst that could happen? Wasted disk space or people increase playback speed to time lapse or fast-forward. Hence, not a huge issue. Even if only you had fun recording it and learned something along the way, it’s already a win. Everything else is a bonus on top.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yiha! I reckon the video is a bit squished together on the horizontal axis. Maybe your video site messed something up in postprocessing? No idea. Anyway, you’re already better at guitar than I ever was.

If you don’t wanna buy a tripod, you could make yourself a makeshift one with some sort of a sandbag, cherry pit pillow or an old, cut off and sewn shut trouser leg section filled with rice, lentils, etc. This gives you a shapeable surface where you can simply rest the camcorder on. It allows for some limited vertical up and down pitch. Obviously, that won’t work for extreme angles, but might be just enough for your application of recording at your desk. You just have to watch out for the side to side roll, this could otherwise lead to a slanted sailboat video. ;-)

In-reply-to » @andros What do you mean by API? yarnd (which powers Yarn.social pods like twtxt.net) does have an API, however that API is designed for clients to interact with the pod and the user's account and feed. e.g: there is a command-line client called yarnc and I used to maintain a mobile native app (using Flutter).

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt It is the same API that yarnc the command-line client uses.

Want this API for Goryon or just Goryon with support to just twtxt.txt. I can’t read timeline without visible replies and missing twts
