In-reply-to » Oh boy, I'm looking for trapezoidal (like ACME thread) screws and nuts in left hand form. The rods are already expensive, but nuts feel like a total ripoff. A hex nut for Tr20x2 being 30mm long and 30mm in "diameter" costs me 22 bucks! O_o Just a single one, made of regular steel. A meter of rod is 21€. The more common Tr20x4 hex nut is just 7€ and the rod 17€, but 4mm pitch is a bit much for a leadscrew for semi-precision work I reckon.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org what are you building now? The things you are mentioning I couldn’t even start wrapping my head around them! 😅 They sure sound expensive, tough.

Well, maybe I just use metric threads. I will sleep on this.

In-reply-to » (#5slaifq) @slashdot They must have spent such an ungodly amount in legal fees by now that I wonder if they'll come out of this in the green if they get to keep all the money from in-app purchases. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're doing it, but I think there's a reason why Epic Games is the only one fighting for app store neutrality.

@mckinley@twtxt.net they are fighting to make more money. Seeing it any other way is rather naïve.

Context for those who don’t know: Epic Games is the company behind the hugely popular video game Fortnite. As far as I know, the core game is still free-to-play and supported by microtransactions. It’s available on Windows, consoles, and mobile platforms. They sued Apple a few years ago because they felt the 30% cut Apple takes for in-app purchases was unreasonable and that they should be allowed to distribute their software independently of the App Store. It didn’t turn out so well for them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Apple

In-reply-to » 👋 Thanks for joining us on our Sept monthly Yarn.social meetup today y'all 🙇‍♂️ We had @david @sorenpeter @doesnm @falsifian and @xuu 💪 Nice turn out! (not all at once of course, as we normally run this over 4 hours as we span many time zones!)

@prologic@twtxt.net That can only work if I happen to have the original one as well. But what are the odds for that? Quite low I’d say. It’s rare that I see a once working thread to be cactus later on. Usually, when I arrive, police already broke up the party. Yarnd might be more lucky in that it constantly pulls, but I don’t.

Anyway, I won’t implement that in my client. Sounds too much effort for the tiny gain.

In-reply-to » Yesterday's April weather offered nearly everything. Sun, rain, clouds, wind. Luckily, the rain wasn't too bad, we precautionally brought our rain jackets and took cover under some trees for 5-10 minutes. From then on, it alternated mostly between sunny and cloudy. Perfect conditions for photography.

Ta, @movq@www.uninformativ.de and @bender@twtxt.net! No, that is Wäschenbeuren: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%A4schenbeuren My town is in the opposite direction.

And yes, it literally took hours to remove 90% of the photos. It’s the necessary evil. I’m never looking forward to the sorting process. The longer the hike, the worse the aftermath.

We had 3°C the other night, quite cold. That’s the price to pay for the nice temperatures at daytime.

In-reply-to » @prologic yup, it was muted. I didn't do it purposely, though. I truly don't know how that happened. That beget the question, shouldn't that be disallowed? That is, muting ourselves should not be possible. That same for following/blocking ourselves (if that breaks functionality).

@bender@twtxt.net Good point! 👌 I’ll make it so 👌

In-reply-to » should i delete gemini support from twet? iirc in twtxt v2 it starts prohibited. And all of my fields are https

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt No.

iirc in twtxt v2 it starts prohibited

This is not true. There are no issues supporting fetching feeds via Gemini/Gopher. This is totally fine. What will likely happen is “recommendations” and “drawbacks of using Gemini/Gopher”

In-reply-to » There we go!

@prologic@twtxt.net Regarding the new way of generating twt-hashes, to me it makes more sense to use tabs as separator instead of spaces, since the you can just copy/past a line directly from a twtxt-file that already go a tab between timestamp and message. But tabs might be hard to “type” when you are in a terminal, since it will activate autocomplete…🤔

Another thing, it seems that you sugget we only use the domain in the hash-creation and not the full path to the twtxt.txt

$ echo -e "https://example.com 2024-09-29T13:30:00Z Hello World!" | sha256sum - | awk '{ print $1 }' | base64 | head -c 12

Rightfully so, @xuu@txt.sour.is pod has it on cache: https://txt.sour.is/twt/v6eemvq. This pod (twtxt.net), knows nothing about it, so it seems.

I don’t see it on the client (Yarn), but as you can see it is on the raw feed. 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net I wonder where did this one went to:

2024-09-29T12:08:15Z	 @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> love 27! Is that your town as seeing from the mountain, or some other town? From 395 to 40 is quite some picking! I figure that’s the most difficult part, right?

Ah, 16°C… what dreams are made of! 😍

@prologic@twtxt.net If I understand correctly, then this means that twt hashes no longer uniquely refer to one specific twt. When someone talks about #1234567, it could refer to the original or some edit of it. It is up to clients to find out what this hash could mean (by keeping a historical database of all feed versions, basically).

Isn’t this essentially the same as only including url and timestamp in the hash?

Personally I don’t see it as a problem. I didn’t even really see edits as a problem either tbh, but this is just an incremental improvement I think.

@prologic@twtxt.net So this hinges on clients keeping a history of the twt hashes. Clients that clean their cache or simply start following a feed later on have no way of reconstructing older twt hash versions and thus no way of reconstructing existing threads. Right?
