In-reply-to » @bender Well, so far, I’m using the standard web client. Haven’t found a great client yet. 🫤 Mastodon/Fediverse is also very different from twtxt, there are way more images/videos that I’d like to see – a TUI client like toot wouldn’t work for me.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Mastodon offers the “deluxe” experience, but it is a resource hungry beast, that can also be feeble as hell. I miss it, a lot, but am running GoToSocial instead because of its simplicity, and nimbleness.

I think it’s time I set up jenny for this feed… been echo-ing my twits manually and there came times when it made me feel like a dork xD Plus I don’t have my vim’s :set spell to catch up with the typos

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)

Worth noting that this is a local “forum”. BBJ uses an SQLite database.

@prologic@twtxt.net there is a bit more here: https://github.com/Calamitous/iris/blob/master/README.md#technical-bits. Of course, you could take a peek at the .rb file itself: https://github.com/Calamitous/iris/blob/master/iris.rb :-P

@skinshafi@thunix.net Cool!

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

In-reply-to » Anyone around is thinking, or planning, to play “Path of the Exile II”?

@prologic@twtxt.net it is an hack and slash ARPG game from Grinding Gears Games. It runs on Windows (and will run on macOS too, eventually), and game consoles (Xbox, and PlayStation).

It comes out on “early access” in 6 December 2024.

In-reply-to » Hi @prologic Hi @bender 😁 now, Why is my @ mention is all over the place? xD this feed has a # nick = skinshafi so... should I scream buuug ? 🤔

@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 ;)

In-reply-to » Problem 1: How much will the storage of logs cost for a standard, monolithic 100,000 RPS web application?

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

@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.

Why is my @ mention is all over the place?

Just the way yarnd (my client) behaves, which I’m also refactoring and improving the way mentions are expanded and auto-completed.
