@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Holy fuck, you were really lucky! This could have gone really bad. You noticed it because of the blackout?
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me @prologic@twtxt.net The web is fucked. :-(
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me What a truly wonderful description. ;‘-D But sorry to hear that. Luckily, no issues over here. It’s extremely rare that this happens. Last time (around five years ago or so) they were cutting down trees in the forest and threw a tree in the overhead power line (which had been converted to underground last year). Power had to be killed in order for the fire brigade to actually extinguish the fire.
@bender@twtxt.net H-Blockx covered it, the original was by Snap! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_(Snap!_song) But it’s actually not my type of music at all. The high pitch refrain “I’ve got the power” is iconic and has somehow burned itself into my brain. Must have been a short circuit.
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Yeah the “web” is pretty broken™ right? 😅
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 😂 Pretty cool remix(?)!
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me @bender@twtxt.net Eventually: “I’VE GOT THE POWER!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOScKjXH-HE
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes 🙌
@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is how my SSH proxy setup works.
@kiwu@twtxt.net after you upload, make sure the audio file looks like this:

And it will work.
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me that’s odd. In here is similar, but not random. All it takes is some rain, and then flip a coin: we may, or may not lose power.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org no dice. Same.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t think it is anything you are doing wrong. I think it is on @prologic@twtxt.net side. I am getting the exact same result, but I never cloned that repository. Maybe it worked fine at certain point, when @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org cloned it, but I doubt brand new users can get through.
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me LOL. Do it, do it!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “deep layers of the Mills infrastructure” LOL.
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me it is called, in Spanish, “the mother”. It is created through a bit (not by much) effort, and kept as a starting point. Just like Asian cuisine has dishes that never cool, always cooking leaving always a base on it.
How do you think a lathe (and just about any tool, etc.) is done? Yup, in part by using a lathe. 😅
@bender@twtxt.net Somehow, the enshittificator himself does not have to deal with enshittification in his own life. In fact, his job gets better with the internet! This can only mean one thing, we all have to becom…
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Congrats, mate, no sleep at night anymore! ;-D That’s a cool age measuring blanket. Haven’t seen something like that before.
Btw. the index.html includes an out of place </ul>. And I just wanna let you know that the full-size photos don’t load for me over here across the pond. They always run into a timeout after a few slooow percent. But no worries. :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net You need a running SSH agent in order to make it through the deep layers of the Mills infrastructure: After ssh-add, git pull always works for me.
And contrary to what the UI shows, the username git always has to be replaced with your own one.
@prologic@twtxt.net network is very secure! 🤪
@movq@www.uninformativ.de just use https instead:
git clone https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev.git
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org congratulations mate! Let it be joy, and happiness! Enjoy every moment. Time will fly, and next you know you will be a curmudgeon who knows nothing. 😅
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Congrats! 🥳
@bender@twtxt.net Lets bend it!
@bender@twtxt.net It is not yet lost, other than the ongoing communication with local politicians, the European Commission, (thanks to other developers) the U.S. Department of Justice, over 50 other organizations (see some of them, signed on the open letter, top of the before mentioned website), we’re also actively looking into possible workarounds and exploring other available legal options, while companies like Motorola, are already planning to offer GrapheneOS, on some phones.
@kiwu@twtxt.net those moods don’t play, they download. 😩
@thecanine@twtxt.net sorry to hear that, mate. Don’t worry, something better will come up. After all, it has got to be easy to beat Android, right? :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de and @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org rock, and thank you for taking the initiative to get this done. @prologic@twtxt.net, what say you?
@bender@twtxt.net Yes, really should have chosen my words more wisely. As @movq@www.uninformativ.de mentions, we got a vague promise of an “advanced flow” being implemented, and in my case also a vague promise of a video call, with someone at Google, regarding it. Now when the backlash died down, it does not look like Google plans to follow through, with any of this and they’re completely unwilling to elaborate and get back to us, about if and how any of this will be implemented.
@thecanine@twtxt.net are you referring to the “WE FUCKING WON!” twtxt?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Now, they’re always cloning the entire repo I suppose. X-(
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me I never saw the point of a registry to be honest, as it defeated the point of what I believed to be a truly decentralised non-social social ecosystem. What can and does work however is a search engine and crawler. I used to run one, but I took it down, mostly because it got expensive to operate, at least the implementation I built… Maybe one day i’ll try again with a SQLite backend.
What @bender@twtxt.net said ☝️
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me We see and read yout mutterings just fine 😅
@bender@twtxt.net I agree, I had oats in yoghurt for dinner. :-)
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me You might or might not find this useful: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/twthash.py
You are brilliant, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com! I laughed my ass off reading the first sentence. :‘-D
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ta! Haha, there’s a snake with a wide open mouth in 01 in my opinion. :-)
Registries suck. Or, should I say, “bend”. I say look at the people @prologic@twtxt.net is following, and you have found the whole twtxt world. 😅
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me most of our conversations used to be about twtxt, I am not going to lie. Lately? Not so much. It turns out (a) we don’t need a longer hash, (b) we don’t care so much about changing addressing, and © I am just Bender, what else can I say? :-D :-P
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me I read too. What I am afraid, though, is that you might miss our replies. Also, twtxt is very asynchronous (although in my early years I was checking and replying every minute).
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me you’ve got to get a nice client. For example, that mention is broken.
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me robots are people too, you know? :-P Follow me, and be amused with my sarcasm, and lack of empathy for humans! (there I said it!)
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me I mean, if you’re talking about a “Follow me” button you can put on your site somewhere and it somehow magically™ works, yeah we haven’t figured out a good way to do this honestly.
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Exactly! 👍
Replies aren’t actually broken, I just… need to add myself to the follow list?! That’s quite counter-intuitive and (IIRC) not mentioned in the docs. But… It seems to be working now, which is nice (I still don’t know how webmentions and webfinger works, so can’t speak about this so far)
yarnd (what runs here at twtxt.net) actually does this automatically by default. I think it’s just an implementation detail to be honest. There’s nothing about this in the specs over at https://twtxt.dev
@rdlmda@rdlmda.me Haha 😆 I mean I try to, as time poor as I am 🤣 Welcome to our little corner of the Yarniverse as some call it 😅
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Luckily, I’ve never encountered any bugs in Vim with my type of work and features I use.
@bender@twtxt.net Hehe. :-)
