The “annoying” thing about hardware these days is that it basically keeps working “forever”. At least much, much longer that you’d expect.

Now that I think about it … I only remember one PC of mine actually dying because of a hardware failure – and that was probably because I did too much overclocking. 😂 If it wasn’t for changes in software, I could probably still use them all. I mean, why not, my Pentium 133 still works and I use it for gaming regularly.

So … my little NAS probably won’t die any time soon. Hmmm.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Not really sure, to be honest. Probably a couple hundred GB … ? 🤔 With the changed data, it might be half a TB to transfer? I’m just guessing.

Let’s see how it goes next time. I don’t expect to add much data any time soon. (On the other hand, I’ll swap the USB disks for the next run, so it’ll take the same ~9 hours, again. Meh.)

I think the solution is to have less data. 😈

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s no fun at all. I don’t like to throw away working hardware either, but I wouldn’t wait 7 hours (CPU-bound!) for my manual backup to complete if it could be done faster on a 10 year old laptop with AES-NI. How much data did you add?

In-reply-to » I just cleared my following list. Kicked out all the 26 feeds that have not been updated for two years or more. This will reduce a bit of useless traffic.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, only ~30 of the ~133 feeds I’m following have had a twt in the last month … 56 in the last year. Some had their last twt in 2016. 🫤

In-reply-to » TikTok Sues US Government Over Law Forcing Sale or Ban Less than two weeks after President Biden signed a bill that will force TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the popular social media app or face a ban in the United States, TikTok said it sued the federal government on Tuesday, arguing the law was unconstitutional. From a report: TikTok said that the law violated the First Amendment by effectively removing an ... ⌘ Read more

Ninguém pode obrigar PS ou AD a ir a debates. Mas é de todo inaceitável que a sua indisponibilidade sirva de chantagem, que se resolva discriminando todas as outras candidaturas para colocar estas duas em posição de destaque.

Fica bem o Bloco, que ameaça com uma providência cautelar se as televisões insistirem nessa ideia:

In-reply-to » Righto, it's time for a rotation into archive feeds again.

@prologic@twtxt.net It always fetches the canonical feed URL and, when it can’t find the latest twt hash (that it saw in the previous run) it traverses the archived feeds until it does find it. Something along those lines.

I just got one such notification:

Date: Tue, 07 May 2024 15:56:01 +0200
From: me@pinguin
To: me@pinguin
Subject: [regularly] jenny

Fetching archived feed https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt/1 (configured as prologic, https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt)
Fetching archived feed https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt/2 (configured as prologic, https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt)
Fetching archived feed https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt/3 (configured as prologic, https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt)
Fetching archived feed https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt/4 (configured as prologic, https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt)
Fetching archived feed https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt/5 (configured as prologic, https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt)

Now, your feed did not get archived, as far as I can tell. So why am I getting this then? Have you edited a twt just now? That would explain it. 😅

In-reply-to » @prologic Newcomers might have a little difficulty because just “installing” a Go compiler is not enough – you also need to add ~/go/bin to your $PATH, at least I did. I’m not sure what to do about it, though. 🤔 This doesn’t really belong into Yarn’s setup guide and it’s mentioned as one of the first things in the Arch wiki, for example, but still … To newcomers this might look a bit like a broken build process:

For some reason the latest version of Chrome is stripped #fragment(s) from the HTML body being served.

In-reply-to » What does a yarnd setup look like to anyone? 🤔 Let's say it exists, and it helps you setup a Yarn pod in seconds. What does it do? Of course I'd have to split out yarnd itself into yarnd run to actually run the server/daemon part.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, was I? I don’t recall any of that. But who knows. ;-)

@prologic@twtxt.net I won’t see any activity again, unless somebody else I follow interacts with them. Yep, fetching the feeds still happens with a patched version of the original twtxt client. tt is just a viewer of the database contents.
