@bender@twtxt.net So far I’ve been following feeds fairly liberally. I’ll check to see if we have anything in common and lean toward following, just because this is new to me and it feels like a small community. But I’m still figuring out what I want. Later I’ll probably either trim my follower list or come up with some way to prioritize the feeds I’m more interested in.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Yes hit a Twt permalink URI and ask for application/ json

@prologic@twtxt.net Specifically, I could view yarnd’s copy here, but only as rendered for a human to view: https://twtxt.net/twt/st3wsda

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Uggh 🥵 That sounds awful and reminds me of our very odd little 3-day heat wave we had last week 😱

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks! 🙇‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de thanks for getting to the bottom of it. @prologic@twtxt.net is there a way to view yarnd’s copy of the raw twt? The edit didn’t result in a visible change; being able to see what yarnd originally downloaded would have helped me debug.

I see 🤔 Thanks!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This ☝️

@bender@twtxt.net Do you recall what you were clicking through? 🤦‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 31°C here, feels like 33°C, with a lovely 75% of humidity. It has been raining, on and off (to make matter “better”) the whole day until now. No horses here, but if you go outside you will smell the same smell of farm animals (like goats, or pigs). That’s because two or three kilometres from here there are private farms, and when the wind blows in such way, well, we are reminded of their existence.

I haven’t left the house, so it feels well under air conditioning. In two more hours I will call it quits from the work day, and will have to dash to the grocery to get supplies for tonight’s meal (arroz con gandules). I will let you know how it truly feels out there then. :-D

For those swollen fingers, nothing better than a mildly cold shower! Oh, and paws off the keyboard! :-P

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci well, those are top ten “twtxtrs” (as in, how many twtxts they have produced). @prologic@twtxt.net sure is a conversational fellow. :-D

@quark@ferengi.one wow everybody loves @prologic@twtxt.net

@bender@twtxt.net I like your website. Petty cool!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ha! Here are my top 10:

24056 "prologic"
5103 "lyse"
3932 "movq"
1984 "abucci"
1876 "adi"
1633 "fastidious"
1551 "jlj"
1455 "mckinley"
1413 "offgridliving
1280 "eaplmx"

Some of those I no longer follow, or do not exist, but their wisdom remains. LOL.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de good idea, considering it might occasionally not work at all (because of edited twtxts).

@dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com very nice, thank you for sharing! I like that kind of retailers too, so those are on my list now. 🙂

@prologic@twtxt.net I tried hosting my own Matrix server once, I got wrecked! 🤣 and I believe that experience established a good base line for me to avoid self-hosting anything federated (except for a TWTX feed).

Skill issues aside (since I’m willing to learn), my internet speed is a huge limitation (I have less than 1Mb Up) 🫠 Then again, there’s the Running stuff off of my RPI's SD Card 😅 that’s just asking for trouble.

Seriously, I should get a proper Job, at least I’ll be able to afford my curiosities 🙃

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You are totally right. The specs are at least “open enough” for us to consider that as an implementation detail. We, and by we I mean @movq@www.uninformativ.de @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net @xuu@txt.sour.is and others should discuss this in more detail I believe and try to see if we can agree on what we’re trying to solve.

Does yarnd provide an API for finding twts? Is it similar?

No, it doesn’t. But yarns (the search engine/crawler wrote) seems more fitting here. It’s been discussed before, the possibility of building a “Twtxt Register v1” compatible API for yarns. I think a search engine + crawler + registry (especially ones that can form a bit of a “distributed network) are far more useful I think in order to support the actual decentralised Twtxt / Yarn ecosystem (which is how I prefer to describe it).

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Ahh but this is solved now with the new single shot fetch?

Bom dia #MusiQuinta !
Esta semana falamos de #SoloApoteótico, e a verdade é que sempre que se falam de solos épicos, memoráveis ou apoteóticos (porque não), vem-me sempre e imediatamente à memória o brilhante solo de bateria em “Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy” dos ManOwaR.

A música no total tem quase meia hora, mas é uma história que vale a pena ouvir, pelo menos uma vez, mesmo que não sejam fãs do género!

The actual end-user problem is that I can’t see the thread properly when using neomutt+jenny.

@prologic@twtxt.net One of your twts begins with (#st3wsda): https://twtxt.net/twt/bot5z4q

Based on the twtxt.net web UI, it seems to be in reply to a twt by @cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org which begins “I’ve been sketching out…”.

But jenny thinks the hash of that twt is 6mdqxrq. At least, there’s a very twt in their feed with that hash that has the same text as appears on yarn.social (except with ‘ instead of ’).

Based on this, it appears jenny and yarnd disagree about the hash of the twt, or perhaps the twt was edited (though I can’t see any difference, assuming ’ vs ’ is just a rendering choice).

@prologic@twtxt.net I believe you when you say registries as designed today do not crawl. But when I first read the spec, it conjured in my mind a search engine. Now I don’t know how things work out in practice, but just based on reading, I don’t see why it can’t be an API for a crawling search engine. (In fact I don’t see anything in the spec indicating registry servers shouldn’t crawl.)

(I also noticed that https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/registry.html recommends “The registries should sync each others user list by using the users endpoint”. If I understood that right, registering with one should be enough to appear on others, even if they don’t crawl.)

Does yarnd provide an API for finding twts? Is it similar?

@bender@twtxt.net I’ve sort of lost the plot here a bit 🤦‍♂️ What’s the problem we’re trying to figure out? 🤔

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You are however right that registries always had a “search” capability, amost others.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Jenny hasn’t changed the way it computes hashes has it? (yarnd certainly hasn’t).

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org I think I’m missing something in my description. When I say “search engine” I also mean “with a crawler” that is able to self-discover feeds. A registry (as designed today, or as the spec described) required users to add their feeds to one or more registries, putting the burden on the user(s). I for example do not bother adding my feed to a registry (which one would I add it to anyway?)

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess I thought they were search engines. Anyway, the registry API looks like a decent one for searching for tweets. Could/should yarn.social pods implement the same API?

I just manually followed the steps at https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/twthashextension.html and got 6mdqxrq. I wonder what happened. Did @cuaxolo@sunshinegardens.org edit the twt in some subtle way after twtxt.net downloaded it? I couldn’t spot a diff, other than ‘ appearing as ’ on yarn.social, which I assume is a transformation done by twtxt.net.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org to my knowledge registries were never designed to crawl the Twtxt space. If they did, they would be considered a search engine 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net What’s the difference between search.twtxt.net and the /api/plain/tweets endpoint of a registry? In my mind, a registry is a twtxt search engine. Or are registries not supposed to do their own crawling to discover new feeds?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org So yes, you would ask a pod about the missing Twt by hash, or whatever. Pods do this already, even though there aren’t that many now, so it maybe a bit less effective today. However it’s more of a small/tiny “distributed” protocol, you ask any pod.

On registries however, I think a registry is the wrong approach. I see far greater value in feed crawlers and search engines like the (half baked one) I built over at https://search.twtxt.net/

@prologic@twtxt.net How does yarn.social’s API fix the problem of centralization? I still need to know whose API to use.

Say I see a twt beginning (#hash) and I want to look up the start of the thread. Is the idea that if that twt is hosted by a a yarn.social pod, it is likely to know the thread start, so I should query that particular pod for the hash? But what if no yarn.social pods are involved?

The community seems small enough that a registry server should be able to keep up, and I can have a couple of others as backups. Or I could crawl the list of feeds followed by whoever emitted the twt that prompted my query.

I have successfully used registry servers a little bit, e.g. to find a feed that mentioned a tag I was interested in. Was even thinking of making my own, if I get bored of my too many other projects :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Yes sir! 👌

@bender@twtxt.net I usually follow anyone and anything, then I unfollow when they turn out to be either not interesting or otherwise 🤣

@mckinley@twtxt.net Why is it so hard so you think? 🤔 What’s missing to make this an easy choice for folks? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks, it works!

But when I tried it out on a twt from @prologic@twtxt.net, I discovered jenny and yarn.social seem to disagree about the hash of this twt: https://twtxt.net/twt/st3wsda . jenny assigned it a hash of 6mdqxrq but the URL and prologic’s reply suggest yarn.social thinks the hash is st3wsda. (And as a result, jenny –fetch-context didn’t work on prologic’s twt.)

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s pretty hard, actually. There will either be more friction than people will accept (BitTorrent) or it won’t be decentralized in practice (LBRY/Odysee).

@bender@twtxt.net , do you depend on first-party Bluesky servers for the client application?

O processo de consulta pública do Plano de Ação de Ruído do Aeroporto Humberto Delgado para o período de 2024-2029 está em discussão até esta sexta-feira, dia 6 de setembro.

⚠️ Este processo está a ser conduzido de forma pouco transparente:

• Não está a ser utilizado o portal oficial participa.pt.
  
• A ANA só disponibiliza o resumo não técnico no seu site e obriga à marcação prévia para consultar o Plano completo.
  
• A consulta foi lançada silenciosamente em agosto, um período em que muitos estão de férias.
  

❌ A ZERO rejeita este plano por ser simplista, vago e sem ambição, colocando em risco a saúde pública de cerca de 400 mil pessoas na Área Metropolitana de Lisboa.

The PICO-ASL4, built on the 100mm x 72mm PICO-ITX form factor, supports Intel Atom

Is it really that fucking hard to use decentralized, Self-Hosted tech? 🤔 Or do people just not know how? 😢

@bender@twtxt.net Yes yes but this is exactly my point! We again have a social network claiming to be “decentralized” only to have “ top heavy” instances 🤣 – Mastodon is the same too 😅

Introduction to JuiceFS | JuiceFS Document Center – Thinking about using JuiceFS to solve a long-running problem I’ve always had.

• Be able to run services on any node in my cluster and let Docker Swarm pick whatever node it likes (instead of now where I have to pin some workloads to specific nodes, as that’s where their local storage volume is)
  
• Manage the scalability of data and growth over time instead of what I do now which is to extend EXT4 filesystems on my Docker Swarm nodes every few years.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah that’s for sure 👍 I use the Monaco font normally. Been using that for a few years now.

As a reminder, this is how zoomed in I normally am to read anything at all, Try doing this on the website 🤣

Fonts for me have to be crisp, sharp, without any crooked edges or boxed shapes. It has to be crisp and sharp at all zoom levels!

@bender@twtxt.net That’s just it, “pixelated” fonts are rubbish! 🤣 Imagine being blind for a moment, how well do you think you could read any of the text? 😅 I can’t even read it zoomed in! LOL 😝

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de my setup is pretty old-school tw.txt hosting-wise. just a text file and a very simple static bridge for pikkulog-style subscribers on gemini. i do try to keep up on the twtxt format spec so i’m publishing a modern and well-formed feed. my dual-hosted website/gemcapsule is meant to eventually be entirely bespoke (my friend wrote the gemini server i’m using, so that counts enough for now) and i’d like to eventually support some of the server extensions that yarn has piloted. follow-wise, rn i kinda just manually try to pick up on who is following me by browsing random feeds. my custom clients usually do a FoaF crawl, but i don’t have anything that really works running rn.
