@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @prologic@twtxt.net VR, really? You have one of those things? 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bloody AI stuff! 🤪😂

4 week vacation time is done tomorrow, then it’s back to work. A bit excited to see what happens there for the rest of the year, a bit stressfull too, but It’ll be nice to get back to work. This summer vacation has been super nice, and also felt like it lasted long. Been a super time with my family, we got to visit a lot of cool places, and went on a lot of trips etc. Been really nice. And we’ve already planned what to do next year - so I already look forward to that :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah :) That’s correct!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s a god one too!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup, definitely VR!

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Ahh so it’s your way of trying to win a small lottery 🤣

Fixed so that when you hit ‘reply’ on a post - it adds the already mentioned people in the post (excluding yourself). Makes it much easier to reply properly to a thread.

@bender@twtxt.net If anything was going to be an NFT, a domain name would probably make the most sense, but I don’t think that system would be any better than the current one and it would make domain squatting even worse.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org I do on my other feed, @mckinley@mckinley.cc, but it’s too hard to keep it under 140 characters when you’re using mentions.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hm, that has to be VR.

I’ll go first: Noise cancelling headphones. 😂 I often put them on in the evenings, no music, just enjoying the silence. ✌️

QOTD: What’s your favorite technological advancement in the last ~10 years? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Nothing yet, I have it set up for solo mining, so if it finds something - then I get full reward.
Someone with a bitaxe found a block last week, all though it’s very unlikely. But there is still a chance.

I suppose there’s no harm in increasing it to 2kB 🤔

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net

James your twtxt is way too short….

Seriously?! 😅 1024 bytes (1kb) isn’t enough?! 😱🤦‍♂️🤣

part 2, James your twtxt is way too short…. say 2 tonnes of wheat, costing me say 15,000 thats 7,500 for a tonne or $7.5 for a Kg of wheat. That is about 12 times for expensive than wheat is today, ans this assumes the cow manure has any minerals in it, which I know from experience doesn’t. So I would have to add NPK, Ca and Mg along with B, Mn, Co, Zn and Cu, all adding thousands to the overall cost.

The chooks would love to eat such wheat, but imagine the cost of making it?

Great to have you back, @off_grid_living@twtxt.net! It’s always a treat to watch your garden and build projects. Maybe you can work on getting the pictures a bit sharper. :-)

I’m wondering, what’s the reason behind the carpet for the chickens? To help with cleanup?

Wheat just tastes good. I’m a sucker for bread. But not limited to wheat only, the majority sure is, though.

With the summer on full blast here, it’s funny to read about frost. I’d immediately trade your weather. :-D

Heyho @falsifian@www.falsifian.org, I don’t either. :-)

A picture of our lovely hens. Notice the red arrows of the feed they waste and leave alone.
Wheat. They hate wheat, lying around in huge 3m area on the carpet.

Obviously the wheat has few minerals in it and not worth eating,,,fancy that we eat wheat bread all the time. What a waste of time !!! eating nothing in it…. I might trying growing my own wheat with at least 60 minerals in it, but costly to make.

Whoo @off_grid_living@twtxt.net is back! 🥳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL 🤣 Good to see search engines axtually index our content 🥳

Got a bit bored for a second and “googled” my own domain. DuckDuckGo’s results are almost completely spammed by results from twtxt.net: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22uninformativ.de%22 🥴😅

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Nice! 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah 🤣

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org I usually open it up for a 4hr window that works around the multiple time zones 🤞

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks. It’s from a non-Euclidean geometry project: https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2022/01/17/s3d/

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks for the invitation. What time of day?

@prologic@twtxt.net I use ClownFlare for now. Used to be on Google Domains, but you know Google: if something is doing well, they shut it down.

Probably not enough to cover the electricity cost, right? 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net LOL! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net he is making -$13/month. A bargain! 😂

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no How much is this baby earning you? 🤔

Anyone recommend a domain registrar, that’s only a domain registrar and nothing else? I’m not interesting in Email Hosting, Web Hosting, Parking, or whatever other silly nonsense. Just domain registration, delegation and renewal.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org by the way, on the last Saturday of every month, we generally hold a online video call/social meet up, where we just get together and talk about stuff if, you’re interested in joining us this month.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org That was the original idea and motivation! 😅 Still is 👌

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org That’s awesome! And nice Avatar! 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Fair enough! I just added some metadata.

Thanks @prologic@twtxt.net! I like the way Yarn.social is making all of twtxt stronger, not just Yarn.social pods.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Ahh cool! 😎

At this point I’m thinking of migrating away from OnlyDomains and choosing a different registrar. If OnlyDomains can’t even do something as simple as maintain their own fucking domain name, how am I supposed to trust them as a service/registrar of my domains?! 🤔 – Not only that, but recently they’ve put all their domain prices up too on a bunch of TLD(s).

@bender@twtxt.net That ain’t the half of it. The worst part is, they (support) don’t give a crap, seem to be poorly trained in “incident management” and you can’t even tell anyone at the company about this (that cares) 🤦‍♂️

Not only that, but how embarrassing is it for a domain registrar to not be able to get domain management right? Support tell me things like:

We only have onlydomains.com we don’t use onlydomains.com.au

To which I reply:

No, you are wrong. I’ve been a very long-term customer and your portal has always been available on both domains. You don’t know your own company’s history.

Also tweaked the settings of my Bitaxe bitcoin miner, it was running a bit unstable, tweaked some settings and now it finally runs like it should.

Holy moly! 😱 It’s still down and has been over night. This has probably been down for longer hmmm 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net I use this: https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_secure_storage

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Is saving the password a good idea security-wise? Or do you save/load it from the user’s password manager using an API to do so? 🤔

Fixed a thing in the flutter client tonight, it now stores the username \ password and server url.. Which is a nice feature, no need to copy\paste anymore to log in.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Well no shit! But not only “agile” but this stupid over-uses thing called “micro services” 🤦‍♂️

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You need an Avatar 😅

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Nope we don’t! yarnd only has a limit (configurable) to prevent abuse really.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Welcome to Yarn.social 🥳
