In-reply-to » @bender My index formatting is intact, probably because I still haven't figured out how to set up my terminal to show RTL text correctly! 😅 but hey, that won't be a problem anymore, I don't feel like twting in Arabic. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com not inconvenience at all. Just something out of the ordinary. :-) I thought it might have been a jenny’s bug, only reason I brought it up. LOL.

In-reply-to » You are both silly, LOL, does not GOD empower those who seek Him with wisdom?

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net hmm, are we talking about the same “GOD”?

” When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies.”

🤔 or…

“However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them”

Is that Him? Empowering and wise, indeed.

Many good people have this gift of wisdom, so learn to discern those who are wise and helpful in our lives.
By their fruits ye shall know them.

I remember one science person was in charge of doing “gain of function” research, creating GM organisms so viruses from other animals could infect humans. Why would a science person be interested in this? Why intentionally make viruses from other animals infect humans? But they did, and still do…. I would call this kind of science evil in the least, and the fact it was brought before the USA counsel suggests not all science people are doing good science. Wisdom is defined as the ability to know the difference between good and bad decisions. We learn this ability by getting into studies on topics. Start learning and stop being deceived.

In-reply-to » @lyse isn’t it great? I remember when email, and Usenet threads were always like that. Alas, came Google, Microsoft, heck, even Apple doesn’t do threading anymore, and things started to go down the drain since.

@bender@twtxt.net do you think we need to think about any new kind of visualization for these large yarn threads? 🤔

In-reply-to » @movq Is there a good way to get jenny to do a one-off fetch of a feed, for when you want to fill in missing parts of a thread? I just added @slashdot to my private follow file just because @prologic keeps responding to the feed :-P and I want to know what he's commenting on even though I don't want to see every new slashdot twt.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de You actually only really want the missing root Twt. You could just fetch this from any Yarn pod. There are scripts I built way back when yo do this 😅

Yes I have personally taken this horse paste many times myself and can vouch for its wonderful affect on removing both cancer and parasites from your system.

The Internet is trying to bag this drug from the layperson, like all wonder drugs on the www. Medicine is a money making business, they do not want you to be made well. Vaccine injury is possible the biggest contributor to the business of making you ill, so than for the rest of your life you seek the doctor who treats your disease, rather than affect a cure, because most cures are too late. Its a great system, and people trust science too much these days, but as you can see not all science is bad, some people are doing a wonderful job. Shalom

In-reply-to » Correct, @bender. Since the very beginning, my twtxt flow is very flawed. But it turns out to be an advantage for this sort of problem. :-) I still use the official (but patched) twtxt client by buckket to actually fetch and fill the cache. I think one of of the patches played around with the error reporting. This way, any problems with fetching or parsing feeds show up immediately. Once I think, I've seen enough errors, I unsubscribe.

@quark@ferengi.one It’s a giant mess at the moment. I started rewriting it from scratch in January last year. But that’s also a big undertaking. And that’s why I stopped. I should proceed, though. Let’s see.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ah, if only you were to finally clean up that code, and make that client widely available…! One can only dream, right? :-)

In-reply-to » @movq, that would be a nice addition. :-) I would also love the ability to hide/not show the hash when reading twtxts (after all, that's on the header on each "email"). Could that be added as a user configurable toggle?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you said you liked seeing the hash (which is a fair choice!). All I am asking is for a reconsideration as a user configurable feature. ;-) It looks redundant, in my opinion.

Let me take this opportunity to recommend something to @bmallred@staystrong.run: https://staystrong.run/user/bmallred/twtxt.txt returned 200 but no Last-Modified header - can’t cache content :-)

Another modification I made is to actually cache it anyways. Otherwise, tt wouldn’t show anything. I implemented that for some other feed that doesn’t exist anymore.

In-reply-to » @lyse so, is it safe to assume you occasionally, but carefully, vet your feeds, and have contingencies in place to not keep requesting a seemingly dead feed over and over?

Correct, @bender@twtxt.net. Since the very beginning, my twtxt flow is very flawed. But it turns out to be an advantage for this sort of problem. :-) I still use the official (but patched) twtxt client by buckket to actually fetch and fill the cache.

tt is just a viewer into the cache. The read statuses are stored in a separate database file.

It also happened a few times, that I thought some feed was permanently dead and removed it from my list. But then, others mentioned it, so I resubscribed.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Ah, I see. 🤔 Maybe I’ll add that. To be honest, I have the same “problem” regarding the slashdot feed. 😅 It’s mostly stuff that I’m not interested in – but from time to time someone replies and then I want to see what it’s about.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t know if I’d want to discard the twts. I think what I’m looking for is a command “jenny -g https://host.org/twtxt.txt” to fetch just that one feed, even if it’s not in my follow list. I could wrap that in a shell script so that when I see a twt in reply to a feed I don’t follow, I can just tap a key and the feed will get added to my maildir. I guess the script would look for a mention at the start of a selected twt and call jenny -g on the feed.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You mean fetching the feed temporarily and then discarding all its twts again? 🤔 I don’t think there’s an easy way to do that, other than filtering in your mail client, yeah. 🤔

In-reply-to » @bender Hmm I think you've uncovered a bug (or interesting side effect) of the crawler in yarns (the search engine) 😢

But you should not be seeing any requests from this pod

Just curious, how are you accomplishing this? Using egress iptables blocks?

In-reply-to » @bender I'm not a yarnd user, but automatically unfollowing on 404 doesn't seem right. Besides @lyse's example, I could imagine just accidentally renaming my own twtxt file, or forgetting to push it when I point my DNS to a new web server. I'd rather not lose all my yarnd followers in a situation like that (and hopefully they feel the same).

Imagine if SMTP behaved like this. It would be mayhem! SMTP bounces are certain number of retries, thus alerting the user that the email address, or server, is wrong. By the way, this same problem happens on the various implementations of ActivityPub (Mastodon, all “romas”, all “keys”, and GoToSocial, which I use). Some have implemented a process to drop federation, after certain number of delivery attempts fail.
