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.

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

@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 :

2024-08-13T07:36:15Z Look how my puppies are growing
2024-08-14T07:36:15Z How hard can it be ? 🤣
2024-08-15T07:36:15Z Very interesting conf by Dave Cheney

But why?

something like :

• centralized export
  
• converting it to one model
  
• twtxt.txt it

I just want to test it. I am very curious about all those solutions. Can be good to centralize all my socials activity (ok I have none but … still) to create a twtxt out of it.

I fully support “small scale” and “slow” here. I think if you’re going to be successful at “self hosting” that’s kind of the design and architecture you need to go for IMO.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Me neither. I did a bit of research but couldn’t find anything. So if we created something, it’d have to be our own thing I think.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Would there be any standard way of indicate this behavior at all that you’re aware of? Any special way of linking the image? Or something? Hmmm 🧐

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh cool! Thank you 🙏 FWIW yarnd has a built-in feature similar to this too where an operator (what we call a poderator) has to “whitelist” domains that may serve images before it’ll render them inline at all (to prevent abuse).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh I see! Interesting 🧐 Would you prefer that clients like yarnd prefetch resources liks this, cache them and serve the cached copy? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de confirming that the issue isn’t present when using alacrity. Wow.

I just realized, this is the last Saturday of the month. So Yarn.social meetup is up again tomorrow. Same time as last time if anyone is interested/around to join and hang out!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com What does “hotlinking” even mean? What feature and web server has this? I’ve never heard of this before till now 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Oh! 🤔 That’s really weird. Why does that error like that? 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com That screenshot you posted doesn’t load for me? Error 1011?

You are both silly, LOL, does not GOD empower those who seek Him with wisdom?

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.

@tkanos@twtxt.net Nope. What is it? Why do I want to use it? 🤔

Did someone already tested https://github.com/CEREBRUS-MAXIMUS/Surfer-Data ?

oh dang. i think thats the go path not the github path.. missing the branch name. here is the pkg one: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/quic-go/quic-go/http3

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

@bender@twtxt.net Haha that’s what u do 🤣 Can’t stand going to see doctors 🙄 (Sorry, I mean GPs)

@bender@twtxt.net No the domain is black listed from this pod at the moment.

@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 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes 🤣

On my blog: Real Life in Star Trek, Power Play https://john.colagioia.net/blog/2024/08/22/power-play.html #scifi #startrek #closereading

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

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org the reason behind his sporadic disappearances is that he runs things from a Raspberry Pi, at home, I believe. That impacts reliability, I figure.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de my fault! Err, I meant to say, @bender@twtxt.net’s! LOL.

@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? :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I mean, dinosaurs “evolved” by getting wiped, right? :-D

@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.

@bender@twtxt.net it sure breaks the index formatting.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com, this one, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, is slightly breaking my neomutt index. Will post screenshot from @bender@twtxt.net’s account.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, 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 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.
