@yarn_police@twtxt.net yay! Law and order on the watch!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, haven’t seeing the @yarn_police@twtxt.net for a while. I often wonder if we are, finally, crime free. :-D

@quark@ferengi.one We’re having a nice day out here, Clear sky, 26.2 °C (altough it feels like a ~30 °C) … no storms! And the most annoying thing is, THIS happens to my monitor whenever there is a power outage:

Image

With each one a row of pixels gets chipped out … and no I can’t afford a UPS at the moment.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woot! Yes! Perfect now. Hitting reply opens it with insert, and prompt at the end of the first line. Just as I wanted it. Thank you much!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org welcome! :-) I am doing my best to get more acquaintance with vi/vim. I think nano has spoiled me too much. LOL.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hmm, I am already using au BufNewFile,BufRead jenny-posting.eml setl completefunc=jenny#CompleteMentions fo-=t wrap, from jenny. How would I go to incorporate that there?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “good, good, and fascinating indeed” – says Quark, all while eating an overflowing toast with butter, and blackberry jam. :-D

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com power outages happen here almost every single time strong storms pass by, I know the feeling mate. It truly sucks.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hmm, I guess I could do that too. I have startinsert set on my .vimrc, so I will either have to take it out, or exit insert, $, then insert again. I think the way you do it would be the way to go.

I tried setting VISUAL to be something like vim -c 'star!', which does the same thing, but no dice. :-/

Throw your “Get rich quick” plans at me, I wanna be able to afford suing somebody/something about this. 😂 It’s not the first time that this happened and I’m sure it’s not gonna be the last.

Keeping people safe! <3

POWER EFFIN’ OUTAGE!!! Electricity came back after ~10 min like… no beggie BUT, Internet stayed out for like 2 more hrs 😅

@quark@ferengi.one Thanks! 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, maybe you can help me with this. I want to place the vim cursor at the end of the first line on replies, and forks. I have tried adding to this to jenny’s configuration:

"editor": "vim \"+normal $\"",

But that doesn’t work. How would you go about it?

@prologic@twtxt.net sounds fair. Let’s see how it works for @abucci@anthony.buc.ci. Speedy fix, that’s awesome! :-)

I’m happy with the current implementation though, because the only reason you should be hitting the external profile endpoint at all is a) you’re logged in and happen to click on someone’s profile that is external to the pod or b) you’re anonymous and just clicking through the frontpage (see a)

@bender@twtxt.net The problem with this is we just don’t know until we try. That’s why if the external feed you’re looking for isn’t found in the cache, it’ll try to fetch it in the background. It’s a bit of a sucky UX really, but its better than the experience of “waiting, waiting waiting and then timeout”.

I’ve pushed a slightly improved version of this that will return a HTTP 404 Not Found if the UserAgent is determined to NOT be a Browser.

On my blog: Developer Diary, Women’s Equality Day https://john.colagioia.net/blog/2024/08/26/womens-equality.html #programming #project #devjournal

Pena que o @vostpt@vostpt esteja a falar sobre o #sismo… mas só na rede ao lado.

Aqui fica um resumo do que por lá dizem:

#ATerraTreme #Sines #Portugal Dados ipma_pt: Um sismo de 5.3, a uma profundidade de 16km a Oeste de #Sines fez a terra tremer um pouco por todo o lado.

Se sentiste este sismo de 5.3, preenche o questionário no site do ipma_pt em https://bit.ly/sentiumsismo (vai demorar um bocadinho a abrir, que ainda está a tremer)

Para quem só acordou agora:

• Sim, houve um sismo e tu não deste por nada, e garantimos que não foste só tu que não sentiste o sismo.
  
• Não há risco de tsunami
  
• Podem existir réplicas
  

Mais uma vez prova-se a necessidade de termos, em #Portugal, um sistema de #CellBroadcast para quando ocorrem estes fenómenos.

Desde o sismo das 5h11 já foram registadas 3 réplicas, sem qualquer registo de terem sido sentidas. O registo é um processo técnico e científico, o sentir é o que muitos hoje experienciaram às 5h11.

-

Já o #IPMA, que não anda por cá, disse por lá isto:

Aviso de Sismo Sentido no Continente 26-08-2024 05:11
2024-08-26 05:11:00, mag 5.3.
O Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera informa que no dia 26-08-2024 pelas 05:11 (hora local) foi registado nas estações da Rede Sísmica do Continente

A new uncensored search engine has been launched by enthusiasts, I don’t know if you’ve heard about it or not https://cdg.iounews.com The search engine uses its own database for searching. It works even for me in Windows XP

Now responds with an error page; but still a 200 OK which I’m not entirely sure I agree with or am happy with? Hmm

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I’ve fixed this and pushed a commit to main. Will test it on my pod and see how it goes. Basically reporting an error if the feed isn’t in the cache and you’re unauthenticated (anonymous).

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, but the thing is, I don’t even remember when/how/why I got to bed yesterday 😅

/ME is confused.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup! 👌

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Hmmm I’ll have a look at this today, hopefully. 🤞 Thanks for bringing this up! 🙇‍♂️

@xuu@txt.sour.is we really must invest more time and effort into salty im 🤣

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com good morning! Are you wake up that early?! 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it looks like it would kill you. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Now, the Question is: Who’s body was in the garbage bag!? 😏😂

Good Morning, 30 min till Sunrise.

@bender@twtxt.net and I saw some conspiracy theory that he knew he was going to be arrested. He was working with French intelligence on a plea deal to defect. And now Russia is freaking out that Ukraine allies can have war comms access.

Yikes! If only they had salty.im!

@bender@twtxt.net The whole album, it’s pretty good. It’s available on YouTube but it’s missing from all the music streaming services (Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, etc). I especially like Tenth Avenue Breakdown.

So you have to manually refresh…

It’s a crime that Slow Motion by Supertramp isn’t available on any of the streaming services. It might even be the Crime of the Century.

There is a bug in yarnd that’s been around for awhile and is still present in the current version I’m running that lets a person hit a constructed URL like

YOUR_POD/external?nick=lovetocode999&uri=https://socialmphl.com/story19510368/doujin

and see a legitimate-looking page on YOUR_POD, with an HTTP code 200 (success). From that fake page you can even follow an external feed. Try it yourself, replacing “YOUR_POD” with the URL of any yarnd pod you know. Try following the feed.

I think URLs like this should return errors. They should not render HTML, nor produce legitimate-looking pages. This mechanism is ripe for DDoS attacks. My pod gets roughly 70,000 hits per day to URLs like this. Many are porn or other types of content I do not want. At this point, if it’s not fixed soon I am going to have to shut down my pod. @prologic@twtxt.net please have a look.

@mckinley@twtxt.net He’s signed up three times now even though I keep deleting the account, which is enough for me to permaban this person. I don’t technically want open registrations on my pod but up till now I’ve been too lazy to figure out how to turn them off and actually do that, and there hasn’t been a pressing need. I may have to now.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org We have some native blackberry species but around here (Northern California) we have Himalayan blackberry bushes which are very invasive. They match your description but I don’t know much about the different species. If left unchecked in an area with plenty of sun, they’ll smother all the lower plants and expand until they can’t anymore.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right. I wonder if Usenet would have faded away earlier if it wasn’t for file sharing. It’s only still in use for that because the annoying parts have been papered over with easy-to-use software and the protocol offers unique characteristics that make it almost perfect for that sort of thing.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci What did he do?

Nothing going on, Gopherland?

User error on this one. It works perfectly!

Never mind, I simply searched and deleted them all (D then ~f sender). :-) Phew!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de is there a way to purge twtxts from a feed I no longer follow?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, using the branch on topic right now, it works perfect. The only thing I found was that I had to quit neomutt, and re-open, to see the perfect thread. Other than that, I love it!

@bender@twtxt.net hmm, I wonder if these are simply twtxts auto created from an ActivityPub feed. Ah, crap, they are. LOL.

👋 Hello @nigergibe@anthony.buc.ci, welcome to Buccipod, a Yarn.social Pod! To get started you may want to check out the pod’s Discover feed to find users to follow and interact with.

I am just finding out its founded by a Russian national?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Definately! Next time I’ll make sure I announce it a few days in advance. 🙄😅

This ☝️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I certainly am 🤣 I wonder whether she is one of the yontest? 🤔

My 9yr old daughter just made her Git commit today, her first website, setup two-factor authentication and used several credentials (which I helped her with) 🤣 – next lessons: password hygiene/management.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s all in this single Converge() method. Let me see if I can decipher and document wtf is going on here…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, they should rotate though, but yes.

@hacker-news-newest@feeds.twtxt.net Oh! Wow! 😮 Does anyone know or have any insight as to the arrest of the Telegram CEO (Pavel Durov)? 🤔 #Telegram

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Please do! 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Didn’t know there was a yarnd IRC channel!! hopping in to say Hi 😁

@movq@www.uninformativ.de There’s a lot going on on Usenet, but it’s all in alt.binaries and co.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de All good! 😊 I totally get it 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is fair 😅 Most development with Twtxt / Yarn.socail continues to be “asynchronous” and “slow” in nature 🤣 – regardless of whether we see you on IRC or not 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is gone though right? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I’m mostly talking about compare twt chain

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m here ! 😅 It’s an open window sof ~4 hours, so plenty of time to jump on 🤣

On my blog: Free Culture Book Club — Morrisa Jeanine https://john.colagioia.net/blog/2024/08/24/morrisa-jeanine.html #freeculture #bookclub

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Yeah this is a good idea. Opening up the little tiny API that yarnd has for “peering” between pods for this reason. It’s quite simple really and its actually open publicly, so you can just use the scripts I wrote.

One thing to bare in mind is that Twtxt (the original spec) is largely dead, this included the registry. The registry in practise was never really widely used, and suffers from “centralization” – Which registry do you use? Its for this reason we built a search engine/crawler to help with searching and discovery. Anyway I digress… LMK if you want to go down this path, happy to document it beyond the scripts I wrote.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes, fetching the twt by hash from some service could be a good alternative, in case the twt I have does not @-mention the source. (Besides yarnd, maybe this should be part of the registry API? I don’t see fetch-by-hash in the registry API docs.)

Thanks Bender for quoting the NIV version: Deuteronomy 20:13-14 New International Version (NIV)

Let me see this in the KJV: De 20:17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:

Ge 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

It seems to me GOD gave these people groups over 400 years to repent of their evil ways. Even when Jericho was such a city, Rahab, a prostitute was saved along with her family because she had faith in God, the only one saved from destruction of Jericho (see Joshua chapter 2). Since God is grace and mercy as well as just and a judge over sins, is not GOD able to spare people in cities as He see fit? or even remove their probation of living?

Ps 7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity “aven” , and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

If you study the Hebrew there is a Hebrew word called “aven” which refers to the epi-genetic potential that drives all our genetic expressions, and records all our propensities of ourselves and our parents. This epi-genetic potential kicks in when you are over puberty, and unless GOD drives out these propensities, you become as your parents before you, doing the same sinful habits as they did. After 400 years, is there any possibility of a child seeking God over his inherited potential from sinful parents before him? Rahab is one example, so God is able to save some, but others choose to be lost, because of their own doings. Hope this helps. Shalom

To be able to centralize all my social activities (If I had) in twtxt.txt.
For example I post a family picture in Facebook, a stupid meme in twitter, and I like 1 video on youtube (that I want to share), in some clicks :
