@prologic@twtxt.net Heck yeah, gorgeous! Did you hike up there?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Uuuh, nice! Despite the weather service claiming that it is snowing at this very moment, there is absolutely nothing here.

It just worked fine like nothing had ever happened when I booted my laptop this morning.

Getting my knowledge refreshed on web accessibility through a course on deque university.

I have been on Twtxt for five years straight now. Hurray me.

Nice view from up on the mountain side 😎

Esta #musiquinta é “pra chocar a família”, e então aqui vai uma música de Fuckness. Não é algo que costume ouvir, mas por acaso ouvi disto anteontem, e foi o que me veio à cabeça quando li o tema desta semana.

A música é a “Domingo de manhã”, mas podia ser qualquer uma, as músicas deles são todas elas na mesma onda 😛

I like to think of it like this. It takes approximately five months of power, relatively speaking to power, the human brain vs. multiple megawatts hell even multiple gigawatts of power to power even some of the most modest and yet surprisingly complex AI models.

There is something about human intelligence that we don’t quite yet understand, and it isn’t in the complexity or increasing the number of parameters to the order of billions 🤣

In other words, I don’t think we can realistically even come close to emulating, emotion, depth, and creativity

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This random comment from another Slashdot article pretry much sums up my view on so-called “AI”:

Elevator music
Tony Isaac 20 minutes ago
If you derive your income from producing “elevator music” you might indeed be in danger of losing that income to AI. Also, bumper music–music used to fill otherwise silent gaps between segments of a podcast or radio show–might be a candidate for AI takeover.
But if you produce real music–music with depth and emotion–your job isn’t going anywhere.
How can I be so sure? I’ve seen the kind of code AI writes. I’ve seen the kind of prose AI writes. Both are amazing, for something computer-generated. But neither would be mistaken for the work of someone skilled or proficient in the art. Music won’t be any different.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net why are so many banging on against Bruce Perens in the comments of this Slashdot article? 🤔 what has he done?

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh yeah that’ll do it 🤣 I couldn’t find a reason for the martial law myself 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net What do you mean?

this place is cool

@movq@www.uninformativ.de there is no appeal.

Ask Bruce Perens Your Questions About How He Hopes to Get Open Source Developers Paid
Bruce Perens wrote the original Open Source definition back in 1997, and then co-founded the Open Source Initiative with Eric Raymond in 1998. But after resigning from the group in 2020, Perens is now diligently developing an alternative he calls “Post Open” to “meet goals that Open Source fails at today” … ⌘ Read more

My 7-year old invented the word guakilijion which is a 1 with a bazillion zeroes following after it. He wants to be a word inventor.

Was on the receiving end of multiple robocalls originating from the UK so now I blocked the whole of the UK from being able to call me on my phone.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de tried translating that and it said Art lover/enthusiast, that could be correct since that despise of the artificial stems out of “Love for the Actual real Art” although that’s a subjective statement in itself; xD duckduckgo’s translation thing spat out “künstliche-Kunsthasser”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :-D

Thank you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! Luckily, I can disable it. I also tried it, no luck, though. But the problem is, I don’t really know how much snakeoil actually runs on my machine. There is definitely a ClownStrike infestation, I stopped the falcon sensor. But there might be even more, I’ve no idea. From the vague answers I got last time, it feels like even the UHD/IT guys don’t know what is in use. O_o

Yeah, it is definitely something on my laptop that rejects connections to IPv4 ports 80 and 443. All other devices here can access the stuff without issue, only this work machine is unable to. The “Connection refused” happens within a few milliseconds.

Unfortunately, I do not have the slightest idea how it works. But maybe I can look into that tomorrow. Kernel modules are a very good hint, thank you! <3

You’re right, it might be some sort of fail-safe mechanism. But then, why just block IPv4 and not also IPv6? But maybe because the VPN and company servers require IPv4, there is zero IPv6 support. (Yeah, don’t ask, I don’t understand it either.)

Haha, I never ran across this before: http://www.wtfpl.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/wtfpl-strip.jpg

LOOOOL, great programming tutorial music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yup8gIXxWDU

@skinshafi@thunix.net Ah nice, it indeed fixed it. I don’t get the warning anymore. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congrats! :-) I still have to survive work next week.

Fuck me dead, what a giant piece of shit. On my Linux work laptop I have the problem that some unknown snakeoil “security” junk is dropping any IPv4 connections to ports 80 and 443. All other ports and IPv6 seem unaffected. I get an immediate “connection refused” when trying to estabslish a connection.

I had this problem four weeks ago on Friday morning the very first time at home. On Thursday evening, everything was perfectly fine. Eventually, I plugged in the LAN cable in the office and everything got automatically fixed. Nobody can explain what’s happening.

Then, last week Friday morning out of the blue, the same issue was back. So, I went to the office yesterday and it got fixed again by plugging in the network cable. This evening, I have exactly the same bloody problem again.

What the hell is going on? Does anyone have any ideas? I’m certainly not an expert, but I don’t see anything suspicious in iptables or nft rules. I also do not see anything showing up in /var/log/kern.log. Even tried to stop firewalld, flush the iptables and nft rules, but that didn’t result in any changes.

@david@collantes.us my replay stayed pinned to the bottom of neomutt like an eye soar, I had to delete the OP. xD I still don’t know how to archive stuff in (neo)mutt.

Happy Barbara day!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com as you can see, not much. Things continue to work fine (my fake one is cached on Neomutt). :-)

Problem 2: Your SSD-backed database has a usage-pattern that rewards you with a 80% page-cache hit-rate (i.e. 80% of disk reads are served directly out of memory instead of going to the SSD). The median is 50 distinct disk pages for a query to gather its query results (e.g. InnoDB pages in MySQL). What is the expected average query time from your database?

Share your solution via Twtxt and how you arrived at it and I’ll share my solution tomorrow!

@skinshafi@thunix.net That would be cool! Lemme know how that goes!

@bender@twtxt.net there’s Pub too but is still experimental I think …

Warning: pub is still in development, if it breaks, you can keep the pieces.

@skinshafi@thunix.net You might want to consider adding basic caching support:

… returned 200 but no Last-Modified header - can’t cache content

Or https://git.mills.io/prologic/static

@bender@twtxt.net zs integrates my static server yes 👌

Btw, zs supports CGI

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ok 👌

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 🤣valet’s merge 🤝

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s because Luke the “others”, it’s designed to be a “fast socials media” 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net You know what! let me get back to you on that–I’ve never never tried to do CGI scripting before and have zero knowledge about it.

/Me adding a new entry in a #Todo list.

@mckinley@twtxt.net To help saving the planet is a good reason. :-)

Upd: it should show 500 because fpm daemon is broke but i didnt setup reverse_proxy for php

@bender@twtxt.net Looks like Irish was created around 7 years ago too 🤔

Also interesting:

edit_hash: When a message is edited, a new message is created– this field holds the hash of the modified message. The client follows the chain of edit hashes to end up at the final, edited message to display. This lets us keep an “undo” history (not yet implemented) and is a marker so the client can display a marker that the message has been edited.

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks! Also very interesting rid bits here 🤣

The author, parent hash, timestamp, and message values go into the hash. (see Message Hash for details)

LOL the rest of it appears undocumented 🤦‍♂️

Iris leans heavily on convention. Iris’ security and message authentication is provided by filesystem permissions and message hashing.

@skinshafi@thunix.net Oh! interesting hmmm 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Are CGI scripts possible? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve seen plenty but I doubt you could use any (other than PHP) to actually serve your pages, anything you want to serve, you put in a ~/public_xyz folder (your php files go there too for Apache to serve), no config files/server setting.

But don’t take my word for it, I just got there and still yet to meet people and learn a bit of IT wizardry from them ;)

I’m considering becoming a gold or platinum sponsor of the ladybird project

My solution to:

How much will the storage of logs cost for a standard, monolithic 100,000 RPS web application?

• 512 bytes logged per request
  
• 100,000 RPS
  
• ~50MB/s
  
  • ~4TB/day
    
• $0.02/GB Blob Storage
  
  • $0 ingress
    
• 90 days retention
  
  • ~400TB
    
  • $8k Blob Storage
    
• Costs:
  
  • ~$88/day
    
  • ~$2.6k/month
    
  • ~$32k/year

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com i’m more after general feedback on how to improve the search facilities so that I can also improve the global search engine as well. 🤣

on that particular pubnix that is

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com PJP is the only really viable scripting language for websites, right?

@prologic@twtxt.net Twtxt wise, it was kind of disparate at first xD with no access to logs as you may have read on the alt-feed itself. But then, @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s script came to the rescue … like, just in time 😁 Otherwise, everything else is fun as publicised, exploring and learning along the way.

@prologic@twtxt.net There’s always my log.html page if it helps… and while we’re still at it here’s the other twt #z2ymlkq for reference ;)

@bender@twtxt.net what kind of game is this? What do you play it on?

So how has the experience been so far?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yup! I re-read that yarn 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah! If you remember I was curious about how people managed their stuff hosted on a Pubnix (this thread -> #z2ymlkq ) and I’ve just managed to join one …
