@bender@twtxt.net The good thing is that it’s already pretty battle-tested. 😅 There was this dumpster fire a few years back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31114554 This was on their front page for quite a while, just look at the number of comments … 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net woot! 🎉🎉🎉

@bender@twtxt.net Yes, but I consider this to be a flaw in the human species. Think about it, what good does it serve? What possible reason do we have to have such traits today? Survival of the fitness? pffft 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL. At least now you know your infrastructure and web server can handle some traffic. Consider it a test, in addition to the fleeting recognition. 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net that possible in any profession. Contrary to what @prologic@twtxt.net’s think, I don’t think it is a human weakness. That some people are absolute and despicable assholes? Yep, I agree on that.

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net No 🤣 I think it’s a human weakness, someone born in the genes of some 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de TLs is cheap, we built hardware encryption modules for AES-256 which TLS still uses so you’re fine 😅

@arne@uplegger.eu Indeed. I’m glad that it’s all just static HTML. The most expensive part about this is probably TLS. 🤷‍♀️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hacker News hug of death. :)

@bender@twtxt.net

oh, I knew it wasn’t you. It is just nice to see your hobby was noticed. :-)

Ah, I see! 🤗

@bender@twtxt.net Doing tail -f access.log looks like a Matrix screensaver at the moment. Whoooooosh …

@bender@twtxt.net … boom, 5500+ hits on that blog post. 🤣 Should I start monetizing this shit?! 🤪 (Don’t worry, I won’t. German law gets super annoying if you do that kind of thing.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh, I knew it wasn’t you. It is just nice to see your hobby was noticed. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Oh, well, thanks, I guess? 😅 (This “zdw” person isn’t me. I don’t even have an account at HackerNews. 😅)

@bender@twtxt.net upvoted too 👌

Upvoted, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48331329

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com noticed absolutely nothing. Happy developing!

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Excited to see twtxt tooling in the Node ecosystem! Any plans to implement the Twtxt v2 extensions? Things like Twt Hash + Subject (proper threading), Multiline, etc. — all documented at https://twtxt.dev 👀

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com All good here 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Thank you, we think so too.

I’m glad you like it!

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com that second one… 😍! Shadow is such a handsome boy!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, a ride indeed. Exactly, this affected each and every Atom feed and only Atom feeds. All RSS feeds worked like nothing ever happened. This std::string to time_t to std::string to time_t dance only happens for Atom feeds. RSS feeds, on the other hand, go right from std::string to time_t and be done. That’s precisely what the second option is aiming to propose for Atom feeds, too.

I will clarify that tomorrow in the article.

It’s very interesting what kind of quirks accumulate in software over the years. Especially quirks, the basically noone knows of anymore. Until something explodes and gets rediscovered. Luckily, that doesn’t happen all that often.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, nice. That was quite the ride. :-) And all that because of locales. 😳

But, did I understand that correctly? All Atom feeds were broken, right? Because they all use that same code path with that strftime/strptime dance in it?

@bender@twtxt.net No way, impossible! Which pattern could you have possibly spot? :-D

@bender@twtxt.net Doesn’t happen often. And when it does, it’s a matter of just a few minutes.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yes, very cruel. Absolutely. But also beautiful sometimes.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, quite the background noise! I like the birds, though. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org love them! I hunt for those here. I enjoy watching it as it happens. Never that red, though.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I notice a theme here, but can’t quite place my finger on it… 🤭

@movq@www.uninformativ.de that was lovely! I especially liked the rain. I truly am a sucker for rain!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It’s OK, it’s still WIP. You’re just helping make it more robust. 😁

@arne@uplegger.eu I’m similar… I use “I” most of the time (mostly in planning or trying to focus, ex: “I’m going to do X, then Y”), but I also use “you” when fussing at myself for my perceived faults or mistakes (that’s my “lizard brain”, we don’t get along so well because he’s kind of a jerk).

@prologic@twtxt.net you went to sleep so early! It’s barely 14:19. 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nature is cruel.

And the humidity sucks. It’s been a horrible day. 🥴

@prologic@twtxt.net Jesus, that’s expensive. 🥴

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net my gosh, that’s some expensive lottery! I have the feeling I would win, but I never play. 🤭 Wife, on the other hand, does. East and west coast, with a bunch of her friends (a pool). They win nothing, for many years. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de $95 🤣 So I’m down a fair bit 😳

@prologic@twtxt.net lol, well, better than nothing, eh? What did the tickets cost? 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I came across that in some of these threads, too. I should probably give OpenRsync a shot.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I guess I’m not so lucky haha 🤣 Only won $32 AUD 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @tftp@tilde.town Someone has pointed out that there’s OpenRsync:

https://www.openrsync.org/

Since I run OpenBSD on my servers, I actually do use that and have never noticed any incompatibilities with the “normal” rsync.

@bender@twtxt.net I’ll think about it. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hah 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hah 😅 One thing I’ve learned in my life (as I’ve had many good manegers over the years teach me as much) is:

Strong opinions, held loosely.

I have my opinions too, but I also see positives and benefits and I am optimistic that we will collectively figure out a path forward.

@prologic@twtxt.net You actually did? 😅 Good luck. 😅 I never dared to, I’d probably get addicted. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Amen 🙏

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh yeah, same here. 😞 Let’s all just win the lottery and stop with this damn work thing. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de All good, I’m tired too. Work has been burning me out lately 🥵

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes 👍
