Is it a typo of Proposal right? =P (Genuinely asking)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hmmmm the smell of burning cotton 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hmm you ate right 😆 Also did you volunteer to fix this 🤔🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net If you’ve got the feed URL in yarnd’s cache, you can easily look up a missing nick. If you can’t find it, just show the URL (or maybe just the domain name to be halfway consistent with this @nick@domain thing that yarnd invented) and be done. It’s really that simple.

When yarnds peer with each other, the odds of actually having come across that feed URL in the past are higher than with traditional clients that only have their local set of subscribed feeds. One additional improvment would be to also look at all the mentions and see if somebody used a nick for that URL and go with that.

Yeah, yarnd currently renders some really weird shit when the mention contains just a URL, but I’d call that a bug for sure.

Personally, I do not like the @nick@domain syntax at all. It looks silly to my eyes. What might have also contributed is the fact of this mentions syntax gotten screwed up so many times by yarnd in the past. But that’s a totally different topic.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @prologic@twtxt.net So, a burning roll of yarn…? :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net Since I live in Germany, I do believe the media here is generally reputable. It really depends where you live of course. Source I look at are Reuters, NPR, The Guardian, Die Zeit, NY Times, CNN, Tagesschau, Spiegel Online, RP Online (for local news), … I would never just trust what I see in my social media feeds.

@gallowsgryph@prismdragon.net Sorry to hear that dude 😢 Hope things improve for you! 👌👌

Wow, what a busy month-and-a-third it’s been. Between family health issues and my own injuries, I’m finally getting a bit of a decent breather.

@bender@twtxt.net Yes yes I konw 🤣🤣

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz It most certainly was us fucking around 🤣🤣 Turns out to be a side-effect of the way the Twt Subject extension is implemented in yarnd and now apparently jenny 🤣🤣 Where it strips out the subject from the displayed/rendered content. Which is what you want… But oh well haha 😆

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Haha, that’s why we came up with the name “yarn” and “yarn social”. A yarn is an Australian and Canadian (and a few other places) term that means “to have a friendly conversation”, “to have a chat”. Usually around a campfire 🔥

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz The twtxt files for yarnd are stored under /path/to/data under the feeds directory. Oner per user.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

Was there ever a reason to do that? 🤔

I’m not sure to be honest. I have no idea why you’d ever want to do a “nameless” @-mention@twtxt.net.

As an aside, if we could all agree, I’d personally just say we scrap this whole fragile broken shit and bring out WebMentions and be done with it. And then mentions are always @nick@domain and looked up, cached and can never be screwed up haha 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

What’s the motivation for deprecation?

Namely that without the mention having a label (as such) it becomes very hard to render it in any sane/nice way. I think we should just stick to @<label url> personally. It makes implementations have to worry about far less edge cases.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org This could just be a bugger Makefile or something. I’m not sure what version @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz built/deployed from? 🤔🤔 – Also I need to release v2.0 soon™

ROFL 🤣

Thanks, I’m trying my best. Also, nice to meet you (and welcome back?) @oevl@twtxt.net, never seen you around before. 🙌

@prologic@twtxt.net Don’t you dare fix it xD it’s not a bug, it’s a feature! xD

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I’m all in!

Hmm, I just noticed that the feed template seems to be broken on your yarnd instance, @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz. Looking at your raw feed file (and your mates as well), line 6 reads:

# This is hosted by a Yarn.social pod yarn running yarnd ERSION@OMMIT  go1.23.4
                                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Looks like the first letters of the version and commit got somehow chopped off. I’ve no idea what happened here, maybe @prologic@twtxt.net knows something. :-? I’m not familiar with the templating, I just recall @xuu reporting in IRC the other day that he’s also having great fun with his custom preamble from time to time.

That “broken” comment doesn’t hurt anything, it’s still a proper comment and hence ignored by clients. It’s just odd, that’s all.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very cool!

tt currently supports all three forms: @<nick url>, @<url> and even the illegal @<nick>. The difference between the last two is whether the token in angle brackets looks like a URL or not. Whenever a nick is available, the nick is rendered. In case there is just a URL, it tries to resolve the nick from the subscriptions. If that also does not work, it displays the URL.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i don’t even have like time or space to stream unless it was no mic/video and just me doing stuff on my computer which can be boring without even mic input. plus no way to use camcorder that way. but. it’d be cool if i could so i dream

i wanna try streaming with owncast using my camcorder as the input device because i found out that i might be able to do that and now i really wanna fuckin try it lol

trying to set up @movq@www.uninformativ.de’s jenny client… currently trying to find where twtxt files are stored on the server so i can set up the scp script i have for this

good morning yarn friends. we need a funny name for yarn posters. what’s something that fits the yarn theme…. i mean we quite literally have threads here. yarn threads. how epic is that. now us posters need a funny name too.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Thanks!

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Well, the original Twtxt Specification explicitly allows for the short form with just a URL and no nick: https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/twtxtfile.html#format-specification

Mentions are embedded within the text in either @<source.nick source.url> or @<source.url> format […]

I’d just continue supporting it, even though I don’t see it all that often in the wild. I guess more common is the case where just a nick is given, which is illegal. But yarnd users seem to produce it every now and then.

What’s the motivation for deprecation?

Lol why you and bender twts are rendered but my with simular content are skipp3d? Upd: nevermind, i’m dumb, my twt are created in future because i type date -iS and replaces +03:00 with Z: https://twtxt.net/twt/yctmi7a

@movq@www.uninformativ.de An ähnliche Aktionen, von vor 20 Jahren, kann ich mich auch noch erinnern. Viel aktueller als damals™ waren unsere Spiele gestern auch nicht. BF1942, CoD, Flatout, CnC, AoE2, Unreal und Quake3, um nur einige zu nennen.

Show HN: Tetris in a PDF
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris.

It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation “fields” works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box.

All in all it’s quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The lin … ⌘ Read more

For the record; we consider the new authority on the Twtxt spec(s) going forward (has been for some years actually) to be implementers / primary maintainers of widely used clients. To date that is:

• yarnd @prologic@twtxt.net (me and others)
  
• jenny @movq@www.uninformativ.de
  
• tt @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
  
• Timeline @darch@neotxt.dk / @eapl.me@eapl.me and others
  
• twtxt-el? – @andros@twtxt.andros.dev
  

Full list of supported and widely used clients can be found at https://twtxt.dev/clients.html – which I note a few above are actually missing from this page haha 🤣

What say you @movq@www.uninformativ.de @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @eapl.mx@eapl.mx / @darch@neotxt.dk @andros@twtxt.andros.dev (new client author)? 🤔 Shall I PR this up?

Otherwise if we insist on allowing things like @<url> then I have to do quick a bit of dancing to figure out how to render such mentions sanely 😅😅

@bender@twtxt.net I agree. I’m just saying spec-wise, this makes implementations have to worry about less edge cases like this 🤣

🤔 Prosoal: Disallowed the @<url> form of mentions. Strictly require that all mentions include a nickname/name; i.e: @<name url>.

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net It’s not mangled, just the rendering is weird now 😢😢
