Fire-proof safes are generally designed so the internal temperature stays at or below ~350°F. Is there a computer medium I can write that's likely to survive an extended stay around that temperature? Storage size doesn't matter too much; a CD would be plenty (although an actual CD would presumably turn to soup).
@anth@a.9srv.net If you can find a UL 150 certified media safe it should stay at or below 150°F which should protect tape, CDs, etc.

Speaking of “AI” … I guess I gotta find out soon how to disable/sabotage Microsoft’s “Recall”, before this garbage takes over the family computers. 😩

</> htmx - high power tools for html really liking the idea of htmx 🤔 If I don't have to learn all this complicated TypeScript/React/NPM garbage, I can just write regular SSA (Server-Side-Apps) and then progressively upgrade to SPA (Single-Page-App) using htmx hmmm 🧐
Its quite nice. I have been half tempted to make a twtxt client with it

So what do we think of the Reddit IPO? 🤔
in the matter of political voice in the US money is speech and therefore companies use their “free speech” to donate and gain access to politicians. Therefore companies are people. Thanks a lot “citizens united”
1U server, intel atom 4G ram, debian (used to be main. now just has prometheus)
a mini ryzon 16 core 64G ram, fedora (new main)
multiple docker services hosted.
synology nas with 4 2TB drives
turris omnia WRT router -> fiber uplink
network is a mix of wireguard, zerotier.
wireguard to my external vms hosted in various global regions.
this allows me ingress since my ISP has me behind CG-NAT
zerotier is more for devices for transparent vpn into my network
i use ssh and remote desktop to get in and about. typically via zerotier vpn. I have one of my VMs with ssh on a backup port for break glass to get back into the network if needed.
everything has ipv6 though my ISP does not provide it. I have to tunnel it in from my VMs.

wat da fuq does being "woke" even mean?! 🤦♂️
@bender@twtxt.net It is the new “politically correct”. Something that was used to describe acting in a more civilized way with one another. Turned into a scapegoat for the other side to label, demonize, and attack.
My email is such a cluster of noise. The only time i actually use it is to find out I have to do my security training or something. All communication is slack now days.

yarnd does not do auto discovery via webfinger though.. i cant put @username and have it fetch the feed url from webfinger. to fully make feeds portable. would also need to be able to use that for hashing.

yarn should define its own federation protocol that extends the basic twtxt in ways that twtxt doesn't allow. it's time. and i've got ideas!

Yeah, the lack of comments makes regular JSON not a good configuration format in my view. Also, putting all keys in quotes and the use of commas is annoying. The big upside is that's in lots of standard libraries.
and then i have a compact version that makes things more grep’able in scripts.

I can query the configurations a few different ways. i can request the specific name foo.bar or a glob like foo.* or trace the hierarchy trace:some.deep.name.space which will give me the namespaces some, some.deep, some.deep.name, and some.deep.name.space. These can be combined.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org its a hierarchy key value format. I designed it for the network peering tools i use.. I can grant access to different parts of the tree to other users.. kinda like directory permissions. a basic example of the format is:
@namespace
# multi
# line
# comment
root :value
# example space comment
@namespace.name space-tag
# attribute comments
attribute attr-tag :value for attribute
# attribute with multiple
# lines of values
foo :bar
:bin
:baz
repeated :value1
repeated :value2
each @ starts the definition of a namespace kinda like [name] in ini format. It can have comments that show up before. then each attribute is key :value and can have their own # comment lines.
Values can be multi line.. and also repeated..
the namespaces and values can also have little meta data tags added to them.

@lyse Lack of comments are definitely a shortcoming of JSON. I don't like TOML because it lets you have nested categories ([foo] [foo.bar] [foo.baz]) and it just feels confusing to me, even with indentation. Simple INI files are okay.
@mckinley@twtxt.net Don’t forget the syntax for arrays of sets [[foo.bars]] [[foo.bars]] [[foo.bars]]
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha! yeah sounds about like my HS CS program. A math teacher taught visual basic and pascal. and over on the other end of the school we had “electronics” which was a room next to the auto body class where they had a bunch of random computer parts scavenged from the district decommissioned surplus storage.
The advanced class would piece together training kits for the basic class to put together.

(#rehtvsq) @movq before this century. Back when colleges taught C++ instead of Java for CS degrees.
@quark@ferengi.one pascal was high school for me 10th grade. I remember making an over the top Yahtzee game with text windows and everything. My instructor got mad at me because it was a ton of pages printed out to review.
I finished my data structures classes with C++ and the next year they changed it out with Java. When i transferred up after my assoc degree it was C++ using the counter-strike source game engine.

Go 1.22.0 introduces a new experiment for range functions. Have you tried them out? What do you think it can make easier to accomplish?
Things can get very interesting when we add the iter.Pull function in the mix. It works like pythons yield from.

the function can yield two values to include an index.

The range function can signal when to stop running by returning false from the yield function.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de NASM is great. I remember playing with it back in my HS days. It has lots of little helps to make assembly more approachable.

@mckinley weird you mentioned my with the anthony.buc.ci account. I am assuming these kind of bugs were never addressed by @prologic. :-(
@movq@www.uninformativ.de its always fun to look back on old projects. I talked to an old coworker about a codebase i made back in 2010 that still has lots of the same architecture i built into it back then and is still in heavy use.
