@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hey pascal bro! My first coding class was with an old Borland Turbo Pascal. I made my own little window manager for the assignments for class.

The teacher didn’t appreciate it much since I had to print out the code to turn it in. My Yatzee game was a stack of pages. 🤪

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very nice! 👌 So lovely and green 😅 – What’s with the sign in

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve tried and there’s little interest so I’ve given up for now 😭

@bender@twtxt.net Wut?! 😂

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz IT IS HOLY HECK THE TALENT!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yikes! I knew there will be collateral damage, but I wasn’t expecting it to affect The Tubes! 😱

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I started with Delphi in school, the book (that we never ever used even once and I also never looked at) taught Pascal. The UI part felt easy at first but prevented me from understanding fundamental stuff like procedures or functions or even begin and end blocks for ifs or loops. For example I always thought that I needed to have a button somewhere, even if hidden. That gave me a handler procedure where I could put code and somehow call it. Two or three years later, a new mate from the parallel class finally told me that this wasn’t necessary and how to do thing better.

You know all too well that back in the day there was not a whole lot of information out there. And the bits that did exist were well hidden. At least from me. Eventually discovering planet-quellcodes.de (I don’t remember if that was the original forum or if that got split off from some other board) via my best schoolmate was like finding the Amber Room. Yeah, reading the ITG book would have been a very good idea for sure. :-)

In hindsight, a console program without the UI overhead might have been better. At least for the very start. Much less things to worry about or get lost.

Hence, I’d recommend to start programming with a console program. As for the language, not sure. But Python is probably a good choice, it doesn’t require a lot of surrounding boilerplate like, say Java or Go. It also does exceptionally well in the principle of least surprise.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I see, ta. The big spring cleaning continues. ;-)

Hi @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org, I canceled the domain, so neotxt or my feed there are not coming back.

@bender@twtxt.net Must be the US tariffs, it’s working reasonably quick in Europe. :-D

@twtxtory@twtxtory.adn.org.es sorry, it isn’t. After you enter the password, it takes a very long time to render anything. I don’t have the patience to wait. Longest I waited is 3 minutes, and nothing. Super extremely slow.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Your next experiment should be triangles. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net is it working now?

@bender@twtxt.net Oh 🤣🤣🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net ah, yes, a feed that I have muted. 😂

@javivf@adn.org.es the demo doesn’t work. When trying to login, it simply times out.

@prologic@twtxt.net oh, sorry, you are right. Beautiful 404. The most beautiful 404 I have ever seen. Tremendous! 🤪

@bender@twtxt.net What you talk’n about 🤣 It’s not broken, it’s perfectly functional 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net first we need to fix broken links. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Seems legit 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net In few weeks for sure, I have a couple of features in mind that I would like to implement (DM extension for example but I’ll ask for permission to @arne@uplegger.eu to use his PoC or ask him to contribute to twtxtory directly)

@javivf@adn.org.es Wanna list it on twtxt.dev? 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net Yup! :)

@javivf@adn.org.es Ahh! So this is your client implementation? 🧐

@twtxtory@twtxtory.adn.org.es is the demo instance for Twtxtory just in case someone would like to have a look (password is in the README file of the project) sorry for the confusion! O:)

@prologic@twtxt.net I started to write it in order to understand better how twtxt works and I thought it could be useful for non-geek people but they like to host their own data

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bwahahaahaaa, this is fucking brilliant, I love it! :-D What a wonderful thing to start my Sunday.

@prologic@twtxt.net This was like 20 minutes, but yeah 🤣

Today I added support for Let’s Encrypt to eris via DNS-01 challenge. Updated the gcore libdns package I wrote for Caddy, Maddy and now Eris. Add support for yarn’s cache to support # type = bot and optionally # retention = N so that feeds like @tiktok@feeds.twtxt.net work like they did before, and… Updated some internal metrics in yarnd to be IMO “better”, with queue depth, queue time and last processing time for feeds.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Only 99.9% pfffft 🤣

@twtxtory@twtxtory.adn.org.es Hello 👋 Welcome to Yarn.social / Twtxt 😅

@twtxtory@twtxtory.adn.org.es this is a mention :)

@javivf@adn.org.es pretty much 👌

@quark@ferengi.one I do have an idea for syncing this 🤞

@prologic@twtxt.net and this reply will work too.

@prologic@twtxt.net well, this fork will work. I an fork this one with jenny, not so with Yarnd.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com 😂

@bmallred@staystrong.run Hehe, @bender@twtxt.net is gonna be upset with you for “making up a thread/subject” 🤣

@bmallred@staystrong.run No! Never 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net Nice! Everyone should be excited 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net Do you use anything for analytics?

yey! it works! Good night @bender@twtxt.net!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com let me reply before going to sleep. 😂😂😂

@bender@twtxt.net YAYYYY TY

@bender@twtxt.net It isn’t @aelaraji@aelaraji.com’s fault at all here 😅 I think the only way I can improve this somewhat is by introducing a similar convergence that I believe @movq@www.uninformativ.de built for Jenny which would fetch the mentioned feed temporarily to see if it contains the subject being replied to (in case it’s not in the cache).

I’ll think about doing this too, but I have to do it carefully so as not to cost too much in terms of resources or performance…

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t understand what’s happening. It often happens with @aelaraji@aelaraji.com Replies are often simply disconnected.

@bender@twtxt.net Nah it’s there but it’s a reply to a thread that isn’t found here hmmm 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I replied to this twtxt with https://twtxt.net/twt/yqrdx4q, and it created its own, totally unconnected.

I replied to a twtxt from @aelaraji@aelaraji.com, which is now gone(?).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I don’t think they have ever replied to anyone. Just checked their raw feed.

@bender@twtxt.net Oh I see hmmm 🧐
