Wanted to share that we’re so proud of our six year old son; after taking skating lessons himself, he taught me and my wife how to stop on skates today. He was so proud about that he could teach us something good. Enjoyed also playing table tennis with him in the park, even-though it got windy, we had fun and didn’t give up trying to have a decent game. And at the guided tour at the old hot-metal plant in Duisburg yesterday, he asked the best questions and could be the guide’s assistant - holding the flashlight.

Pequeno bug do Tusky esta manhã, poético e invernal

Image

I still wanna know whether you’ll get your pizzas on time 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Right, sooo strange. :-D But it worked, they managed to make me talk about that. Damn.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! Yeah, the evening (and also morning) sun creates an absolutely great light. I really love it, it never gets old.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de When looking closely in the woods, I can spot ants that are sized the width of a finger. Soldier ants are also often larger than the workers they protect. But yeah, most ants in our regions are relatively small. :-)

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net The specs seem fine for a low end laptop. 👌

I wonder what kind of performance this would offer for daily usage DC-ROMA Laptop II with 8-core RISC-V CPU

Ya know, like how yarn is stable 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Teue but it’s also likely pretty stable 😅

@bender@twtxt.net I can see that 😅 I’m thinking about buying two for the Mills DC to use as CI/CD build machines 🤣

Maybe 🤔

Test

Okay that bug is squished (was my bug, not bluge’s 🤣)

Far out, the new Mac Mini is actually cheaper than one from several years ago 😱

I will promote the feature then, as well as webringer and search (soon™) – After Which we can probably cut a “big ass” release 🤣 (well overdue 🤦‍♂️)

@bender@twtxt.net All good 👍

@xuu@txt.sour.is Which ones in particular do you think could be applied in a truely decentralisd context of say Twtxt/Yarn? Hmm? 🧐

Fuck! 🤦‍♂️ I keep finding bugs in bluge 😢

@bender@twtxt.net If it’s to be removed, what should replace it? 🤔 It’s been enabled as a feature for a while now on my pod, and I do use it occasionally.

@bender@twtxt.net Fair

One of the things I’m going to work on next (maybe today, we’ll see how much time there’s left in the day) is being able to load up old conversations (fallen off the cache) like this one.

Interesting list of features to protect users and communities on bluesky. I wonder if any make sense in text context.

This pod is now using the index for archive twts instead of the old (naive) disk-based index with that results in millions of files over a long time 🤣

I occasionally use the last 5 filters:

• Images/Videos
  
• Without replies
  
• Hide Bots
  
• Hide Feeds (which should be ‘Hide News”?)
  
• Hide my Posts

Anyone actively use filters here? 🤔 If so which ones? If not, why? Any more useful than others? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I think that’s why I spend so much of my “spare” time doing this right? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I did, that’s why I asked 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Why “Kaizen”? 🤔

I want to become a solopreneur 🤣 Build a service, or a set of small services with enough customers (not too many) where they provide enough revenue and receive the right amount of value for service that I can just do that.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Hmmm

very convincing from an expert !

According to Wikipedia Robert Deutsch is:

Robert Deutsch is an Israeli antiquities dealer, archaeologist, epigrapher, and numismatist. He is known for being accused of six forgery charges of several biblical archaeological artifacts in 2004.

i don’t know what to believe anymore 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh I see 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org very nice shot 👌

@bender@twtxt.net parsed and kinked ok for me?

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net I can’t make it, we tidy up our scout yard.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, cool. Larger than the the workers. I don’t know the actual size of this test tube, but when this is a regular sized one, the queen is still not that big.

@bender@twtxt.net HAHAHAHA xD I’ll do my best and try not to forget chanting: “Sic transit gloria mundi” as I package it for shipping.

@bender@twtxt.net You’d be surprised how many lifetime old accounts I still have, scattered all over the internet. I just don’t have much energy to go through deleting each and every single one of them. xD and here is a bonus image for LOLs

👋 Reminder folks of the upcoming Yarn.social monthly online meetup:

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net No worries. In the end you did it all with your backup. And sorry for my exported timezone mess. :-/

You need quant computer to host these key services. Nobody will do that. ActivityPub/Twtxt instance can be hosted on calculator

The Australia Labor government, Albanese and the honourable Michelle Rowland federal member for parliament and communications minster are fucking clowns. It’s stupid shit like this that’s the real problem with “big tech” social media platforms. These morons just simply don’t understand basic economics and basic business.

Why would a company like Meta, X and TikTok give up a large multi-billion dollar segment of the market. That is, young children from the ages of ~3 to 16 (yes kids these days can use a computer or device from a pretty young age!)

The whole masquerade of “online saftey” and the new Australia legislation of the Online Safety Act 2021 is complete and utter bullshit.

You wanna fix this whole cybercrime and cyber bullying that goes on (which btw if you understood how these fucking platforms worked in the first place, you’d realise drives up engagement on the platforms by abusing human emotional and psychological weakness), then ban and make illegal with multi-Billion dollar fines the following:

• Profiting off data collected by users on your platform(s)
  
• Categorizing users on your platform and performing A/B tests
  
• Targeting users (of any age) for advertising
  

In fact just ban targeted advertising period.

Disgusting 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net He sure did! 👏 Thanks @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 🙏

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Uh huh sure 😉 Bluesky, the “decentralized” social media platform that won’t steal and profit from your data huh?! 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net Yes and Will do! 👌

After several hard hours, I think I’ve recovered the last missing 1 Twt from @bender@twtxt.net 🥳 Turns out just before I accidentally nuked my pod, I took a dump of it’s cached just seconds before 🤣 – So I was also able to rebuild anything that was missing from the backup from the recent cache dump!

So long Blue Birdy 👋 it was a … Never mind, GTFO of my life already! 😆

Bluesky Says It Won’t Train AI On Your Posts
Bluesky, the social network surging in popularity, says it has “no intention” of training AI tools on users content. “The social network made the announcement on the same day that X (formerly Twitter) is implementing its new terms of service that allow the platform to use public posts to train AI,” notes TechCrunch. From the report: “A number of artists and creators have made their home … ⌘ Read more

Thanks to @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org’s own archived feeds we’ve managed to restore quite a bit and probably only lost a couple of hours. 🙇‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net I still have my Famicom from when I was 5 or so and this makes me think I might get away with selling it’s manual for pretty money instead of just framing it and hanging by the desk … wanna buy it? 😂

@bender@twtxt.net ROFLMAO! 🤣

… but using the service itself is considered enough compensation.

@wbknl@twtxt.net You of all are the most affected as our newest member of my pod and most recently joined. I’m so sorry 😢

🔥 ATTENTION: I have really bad news folks 😢

Today, (just this morning in AEST) I accidentally nuke my pod (twtxt.net). I keep backups, but unfortunately the recovery point objective (RTP) is at worst a month! 🤦‍♂️ 😱 (the recovery time objective is around ~30m or so, restoring can take a while due to the size of the archive and index) – For those that are unfamiliar with these terms, they essentially relate to “how much data loss can occur” (RPO) and “how quickly you can restore the system” (RTO).

This pod (twtxt.net) is back up and online. However we’ve last the last ~5 days worth of posts y’all may have made on your feeds (for those that use this pod).

I’m so sorry 😞

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m all in on paper. In fact I noted down a todo item today on a physical sheet of paper when I was on the phone with a workmate. It then occurred to me that I could have just written it in a scratch file.

The parchment, on the other hand, might be a bit wasteful for just temporary ideas that are not perfectly layed out yet.

@wbknl@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net For improved longevity you should consider carving in steel or stone. This also has the additional benefit that you think more carefully before actually noting it down.

yesterday, probably

@bender@twtxt.net The world is full of fools. One of ‘em might even buy that for this money. O_o Even the original price is a total ripoff in my opinion.

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh I see 👌

Not really sure how this is similar at all teally as Yarn like every other twtxt client just fetches feeds you tell it to? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I hear ya 👌 I feel very much the same 😅

@bender@twtxt.net LIL 🤣 Starting to wonder whether maybe I’m the one that’s wrong here? 🤔 And have a warped sense of the terms distributed and decentralized? 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Just because you can run it doesn’t make it decentralised. As @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt rightfully points out, where are the points of controls? It’s a distributed network with a protocol that forms a “network”. With key services operated by BlueSky this isn’t decentralised in the true sense now is it? 🤔

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club I’m feeling slightly better (though my sinuses are still giving my grief 🤦‍♂️) so I’ll try to answer this and properly state my position on the proposed minimum age restrictions being proposed by the Labor government.

Firstly I think it’s completely ineffective and unenforceable. The only way you’re going to get this enforced is to somehow makes all the “big tech” companies oblighes, which some already are. But then you can just work-around it anyway. Okay if you start requiring things like state-enforced age verification like a driver’s license or something, then things start getting even more weird.

Frankly I don’t think it’s the right approach. I think it will ultimately achieve nothing. It’ll be just like the many numerous attempts at banning alcohol and drugs. Once you’re addicted, there’s no way you can stop people from indulging in stupid crap that may possibly kill them.

The only way out of this mess IMO is to educate people, educate the parents and to make it practices of targeting, categorization and the manipulation of content based on metadata either you or a 3rd-party questionable obtained illegal.

In other words. The very foundation of what “bit tech” social media companies thrive on. Make that illegal. Problem solve. But oh wait?! 🤦‍♂️

Giving paper notebooks another try. I love paper notebooks. The problem is that I’m very chaotic writing my ideas.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt This is such a good response! 🙌 You are absolutely right in that Bkuesky is not decentralized 👏

Oh shit maybe not 🙀

I think it’s fixed now eight?

@xuu@txt.sour.is wut?! 🙀

So helpful 😮‍💨

Error: Error deleting last twt

Nope. 😐

Can I edit this twt?
