I can walk you through some examples later tonight when I get back if you like?

A pointer is basically a reference to a variable. It is typically used with structs and especially in pointer receiver methods so that you can modify fields of a struct.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh! I can totally help you 🤗 I love Go! 😍

Also post as much as you want! It’s a free world. It’s your feed. It’s your daughter. 🤣 nobody actually has to read any of it let alone follow you if they don’t want to. 🙃 that’s kind of the beauty of a truly decentralized slow social media ecosystem. 😎

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You should’ve seen me back in the day! These days I try to post a little less often so as not to cause too much noise in the ecosystem 🤣 nobody cares what I think anyway right? 😅

help i’ve had this account for barely 2 days and i’m nearly at 100 posts

i am not a #gamer at all but i wanna play this it looks sooo cute https://studiopixel.sakura.ne.jp/keroblaster/index.html

my friend is getting into snh48 and its sister groups and it makes me miss being a fan but my oshi (shen mengyao) graduated so i don’t have any reason to follow them. but the thing about snh48 is that it’s a group full of messy toxic lesbians with mental problems so there is always some wild ass drama going on. you can never leave snh48 standom

i fucking love tux paint it’s so cute i wish i could draw

ladyflash by the go team is sooo good my friend just shared it and i’m obsessed already

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz https://memoria.sayitditto.net/user/andjuly/

my camcorder videos are gonna go so hard yall like i can post them exclusively to my own youtube site and just do whatever tf i want with it. i should make more vlogs

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz anyway when i get the memory stick i will record something silly and exclusive for yarn friends i can’t wait <3

@prologic@twtxt.net EVEN COOLER

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i also like the separation inherent with using dedicated devices. like i have a DAP, a fiio X1 ii from 2019, and it’s still going strong. it’s perfect for on the go music listening and i never have to worry about like going somewhere with no reception and the music drops out. it’s all local AND the battery lasts longer because i’m not using wi-fi or bluetooth or data. also i can directly access the file system and just add files anytime. this goes for my point & shoot and other devices too. i love this shit i’m such a nerd

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz yarnd actually stores your feed in plain text on disk too 🤣

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i think what i love about “retro” (relative to me because i was born 2004) is that it has friction but in a different way than modern tech does. sure there’s friction with getting a video from your phone to a computer unless you’re a nerd like me with android and syncthing. but not only is that something that could be but isn’t easier, it’s just… it makes sense for a camcorder from ~2009 to have the kind of friction it does

my camcorder battery & mini dvds came in the mail so i did a test recording! it’s so cool i love the crap quality. i do hope the memory stick arrives soon though because for the discs i can’t get them on my computer (not even a rom drive filesystem mount) without “finalizing” the disc which is like an old camcorder thing. i still think i’ll prefer disc recording though even if a limit of 30 minutes (or longer for lower quality) is strict. i like limitations like that

@prologic@twtxt.net this is epic… you’ve made a great platform!!! screw big tech we got literal threads here. X, The Everything App, wishes it had literal yarn threads smh my head. also twtxt is so cool like i love that yarn is a frontend for it but also its own thing. all plaintext… coolest shit ever

@prologic@twtxt.net oooh i should’ve figured yeah!!! epic…

@prologic@twtxt.net 9am wow!!! 6pm here now :P

@prologic@twtxt.net oh yeah i had to do a custom caddy build for that once but then i reverted because i didn’t need it anymore (well i kinda do but for now i’m just manually doing it instead of wildcard certs/TLS on demand i’m lazy af). otherwise i love caddy

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev What do you mean by API? yarnd (which powers Yarn.social pods like twtxt.net) does have an API, however that API is designed for clients to interact with the pod and the user’s account and feed. e.g: there is a command-line client called yarnc and I used to maintain a mobile native app (using Flutter).

What use-case did you have in mind?

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz So far it’s been alright. I wasn’t too impressed with Caddy’s logging capabilities though or the fact you have to custom build caddy just to support DNS-01 ACME challenge. But other than that, it’s okay.

@bender@twtxt.net Well technically now I can turn off ingress access to my infra on ports 80/43 etc and just rely on the outbound wireguard tunnelling for the ingress back in.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nah I’m fone with using their DNS. I could shove DNS onto Vultr too I suppose or run my own DNS server(s), but I don’t see the value in that…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I was using Cloudflare primarily for 3 reasons: 1) For hosting DNS records 2) For reverse proxying into my infra’s services and 3) As a layer of defense against DDoS attacks or stupid misbehaving bots. I’m still using Cloudflare for 1) but 2/3 are now done entirely by something I’ve built myself (and working well). Turns out in order to have decent analytics (metrics, stats, etc) on traffic, you have to pay Cloudflare $20/month. That’s fine, and I did/do that for twtxt.net. But, if you want to know the originating IP address of requests, that’s an “enterprise” feature and that’ll cost you $200/month 😱

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Good Morning! It’s ~9am here 😴

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Pretty sure this is a combination of inspecting the User-Agent and Accept headers of a HTTP requests and responding appropriately with the right resource(s).

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz When I set about creating Yarn.social back in ~2020 I deliberately wanted to avoid things like reposts, likes and notifications. I wanted to build something simple and non-distracting. I didn’t want to fall into the same traps of “big tech” social media with the only goal being to increase engagement, ultimately to then sell ads 🤦‍♂️ – Twtxt was then a fantastic base to work off of and the rest is history!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net twtxt-el ?

it’s epic that twtxt slash yarn doesn’t have reposts or likes. it’s just chill. replies and posting is all a site needs

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org if i ever get to it i will absolutely post tux-in-progress pics!!! just a creature….

cron jobs are witchcraft and sorcery

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i’ve really wanted to make one of those sites you can curl that’s terminal friendly but looks different on the browser like how does wttr.in do it… magic

i like this little ideas utility i’ve been using like i keep pulling up the idea table to see what i’ve added and it makes me wanna start one of them like the CLI app i wanna write in golang with charmbracelet’s bubbletea even though i only have a vague idea of what i want in a CLI app

good morning new yarn social/twtxt friends (it is literally 5:30pm where i am i woke up at 3pm and i am still drinking coffee)

@prologic@twtxt.net YAYYY fuck cloudflare!!! caddy+wireguard amazing combo

On my blog: Real Life in Star Trek, Rascals https://john.colagioia.net/blog/2025/01/02/rascals.html #scifi #startrek #closereading

This year is a perfect square: 2025 = 45². Most of us reading this at time of posting won’t be alive next time that happens since 46² = 2116, 91 years from now. This has been bouncing around the internet but for some reason I felt compelled to record it here!

Django channels are cool! I had the chance to make a online gaming framework with Channels and Django Rest and was a great experience.

I’m looking forward to doing something in Django LiveView soon.

My twtxt feed has now been rotated, an archive for the second half of 2024 can be seen here:
https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt-2024H2.html

(#bwkz64a) <@prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> is that the reason why https://search.twtxt.net/ is giving an SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT error?

My side project explains very well https://django-liveview.andros.dev/ 😁

Oh nice, it snows. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm, what’s this Emacs client you heard about?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Unfortunately, there is no feed URL or nick in the User-Agent, it just consists of “xt/0.0.1”, that’s it. And this client was only active from mid-November until the end of the month.

It’ll probably remain a mystery, we’ll never know.

The link is public!

@arne@uplegger.eu Danke! Ui, sehr schön, das sind zweifelsohne hervorragende Upcycling-Projekte. :-) Ja, im Baumarkt Holz zu kaufen ist ziemlich teuer, erst recht, wenn man sich mal die Qualität genauer anschaut.

@prologic@twtxt.net Is it possible to interact with twtxt.net from outside? For example, an search API

@prologic@twtxt.net Yiha, that’s great news! Now you just have to migrate away from their DNS, too. :-)

I live in one of 17 states that now requires uploading gov’t ID just to watch pr0n. Major security risk. I can’t believe this is reality.

I am now proud to say, that as of this moment, I am off of Clownflare 🤣 Still using Cloudflare for DNS, but no longer proxying through their services or terminating TLS at their edge. Instead, all my sites and services now terminate TLS on my own edge proxy running Caddy+Wireguard (so all ingress is actually egress 🤣) 🥳 #Clownflare #Cloudflare

@bender@twtxt.net We’ve met him before on our of our video calls 😅

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev That’s kind of cool to hear! 👂 – Why HTML over Websockets though? I personally think the ideas behind Hypermedia Systems is great. Just a few extra controls and you nearly get everything you ever really needed or wanted.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Bah 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net Sorry if I don’t reply to you. I don’t have any mention notification system… at the moment… Thanks for the suggestion and for fix the error 😄

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ein Prachtstück hast du dir da gebaut! Bei mir werden aus den Stöckern Rankhilfen, Nivellierunterlagen, Insektenhotels, Untersetzer und und und. Im Baumarkt zahlt man dafür bis zu 2€, pah! :)

I want to share the video of my last talk: Creating an Instagram in Django for an Iberian lynx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW69cYIULh8 (Spanish) #django #python

At my job, htmx is the starndard. However, I think that HTML over WebSockets is better.

@bmallred@staystrong.run Ya know… Your running twts are making me think I should go back to running eveyr day. Do you run every day or every couple of days? 🤔

Could this be the Emacs client I’ve heard about? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I wouldn’t know sadly. I don’t pay attention to the actual clients themselves as you know. I just let yarnd do it’s thing.

Once again I glimpsed at my twtxt feed access log. Now I’m wondering: is there a twtxt client named xt out there? Does anyone know? I did not find anything for “xt/0.0.1”.

Easy: 4.06 miles, 00:08:51 average pace, 00:35:59 duration
51F this morning with a bit of a breeze which was great. felt easy but i think the enjoyment of being outside brought my pace and HR up a bit. actually slept well last night and woke up refreshed… been about a month or more i think.
#running

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh nice, I’d love to see some progress photos. :-)

Gesundes Neues, @arne@uplegger.eu! Was machst Du mit den Raketenstecken? Bastelst Du damit tolle Dinge? Ich hab damit zwei kleine Regälchen zusammengeleimt: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/tischbohrmaschinenregal/10.jpg

Der Wind hat mir soeben einen neuen Stecken beschert, lag er doch plötzlich vor der Tür. Muss wohl vom Dach runtergekommen sein. Damit hab ich ganze zwei dieses Jahr. Hier wird sehr stark auf Böller gesetzt, ein absolutes Unding!

Thank you, @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz and @ionores@twtxt.net! Yeah, number four looks like a forest fire.

It was supposed to start raining this afternoon, but a rain cloud hit us in the morning just when we approached the foot of our backyard mountain. With the dark sky above us and wind speed picking up, we decided to take the next turn and head back. Luckily, the rain didn’t last long, so we paid the tadpole pond a visit to prolong our stroll. My mate told me that it was frozen a few days ago, but there was not much of the icy cover left today. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-01-02/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha

But why, oh why, would people still use SVN these days. 🥴😅

I thought svc had gone the way of the dodo 🦤

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i’ve actually built a lot of stuff with it so far and I’m planning on starting a new little project with it as well soon.

@prologic@twtxt.net omg i keep hearing so much good about HTMX i really gotta try it!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz All Yhanks yo HTMX 🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah and far lighter than the likes of react! it kicks ass

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz It has a nice SPA like feel doesn’t it 😅

Look ma! No react!

🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ☝️

@prologic@twtxt.net totally understandable! i used the web app from my phone and it worked perfectly 🫶 i can’t imagine the headaches that maintaining apps brings…

SvarDOS: DR-DOS is Reborn as an Open Source OS
SvarDOS, a compact open-source operating system derived from DR-DOS, has switched to using the EDRDOS kernel, marking a shift from its FreeDOS distribution roots. The change allows the operating system to fit on a single 1.4MB floppy disk while offering a network-capable package manager that can fetch from a repository of over 400 packages.

Unlike its rival FreeDOS, SvarDOS can run … ⌘ Read more

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yeah sorry but maintaining a mobile app with Flutter became too hard and complicated as the whole mobile ecosystem is just a giant PITA 🤦‍♂️ Every new version of Xcode, Android, Flutter, etc… Something would break 😢

@prologic@twtxt.net hopefully!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net oh i meant to hit reply but i forgot lol

it’s so cool!!!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz 🤞

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz No worries! I consider Yarn.social to be really an ecosystem of clients, tools and services. Twtxt is the underlying exchange format used and extended (See https://twtxt.dev)
