I don’t know what all the facets mean. E.g. what’s the difference between “Integrity” and “Authenticity”?

Yes, I totally get where you’re coming from. However after ~22 results, I think y’all have figured out how to rank them appropriately anyway 🤣

Sharing the comments of the poll (anonymous so I have no idea whom the comments are from):

your poll should include questions about markdown. personally i think inline bits like style, links, images are yes. block quotes, code blocks, bullet lists are mid. but tables and footnotes are no.

Yes sorry about this, I wasn’t able to change much after publishing the poll 😅

HP Is Adding AI To Its Printers
An anonymous reader quotes a report from PCWorld, written by Michael Crider: The latest perpetrator of questionable AI branding? HP. The company is introducing “Print AI,” what it calls the “industry’s first intelligent print experience for home, office, and large format printing.” What does that mean? It’s essentially a new beta software driver package for some HP printers. According to the press release, … ⌘ Read more

@bender@twtxt.net I believe it is Unix-Unix Copy Protocol. Not Unix Copy-Copy Protocol.

83(4) GDPR sets forth fines of up to 10 million euros, or, in the case of an undertaking, up to 2% of its entire global turnover of the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher.

Though I suppose it has to be the greater of the two. But I don’t even have one euro to start with.

Wind’s picking up. The guys are busy; you’re in charge. Ya know what? You’re a goddamn swordboat captain! Is there anything better in the world?

@bender@twtxt.net Well as you’ve pointed out in the past, both protocol suffer from Discovery (as I’ve stated as well) and more often than not, users that publish Twtxt feeds over these protocols tend to just “point into the void” and it’s next to impossible to have any kind of “social interaction” (ignoring personal choices of course, if one’s feed is intended for 1-way …)

I think there’s a bug in yarnd hwoever:

$ yarnc debug https://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt

bqor23a 2024-09-26T11:09:28-07:00	if twtxt 2 is dropping gemini support, i will probably move on and spend more time on my gemini social zine protocol instead. i think the direction of the protocol is probably fine, but for me web is a tier 2 publishing channel. if the choice is between gemini and http i'm always going to pick gemini. its been a fun ride, but i guess this is where i get off.

The yarnc CLI tool and the lextwt parser we use in yarnd correctly parses the feed and sets the Twter.HashingURI to the latest # url = found in the feed. However my pod hasn’t picked this up 😢 I follow @cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org as https://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt

Gemini/Gopher Twtxt feeds account for less than 1% in existence:

$ total=$(inspect-db yarns.db | jq -r '.Value.URL' | awk -F'//' '{if ($1 ~ /^https?/) print "http/https:"; else print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | awk '{sum+=$1} END {print sum}'); inspect-db yarns.db | jq -r '.Value.URL' | awk -F'//' '{if ($1 ~ /^https?/) print "http/https:"; else print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | awk -v total="$total" '{printf "%d %s %.2f%%\n", $1, $2, ($1/total)*100}' | sort -r

4 gopher: 0.38%

Note however this doesn’t solve the problem of Caching at all. It just works around it and with enough clients fetching a Gopher/Gemini feed, this # refresh becomes useless anyway at a certain point of scale.

@bender@twtxt.net Well this is the thing really. Gopher and Gemini are very broken ways to distributed content. Broken in the sense that for Twtxt either support a) caching in any way shape or form b) discovery in any way shape or form.

This is a bit of a problem because if a Feed author complains (nad they have in the past) that their Gopher/Gemini feeds are being hit “too hard”, well that’s really kind of on them for choosing to host their feed on an ill advised protocol thatc cannot possibly support Caching at all.

This is primarily one of the reasons we introduced the idea of a “feed advised refresh interval” that clients SHOULD respect.

See: https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/metadataextension.html#refresh

refresh
This optional field is used by feed authors as a hint to clients to control how often they should fetch or update this feed.

The value of this field is seconds represented by an integer.

NOTE: An empty, bad, or unparsable value is ignored.

@bender@twtxt.net To be fair, this has never been a problem for folks that have/use stable Feed URI(s) 🤣

This is confirmed to be the case:

$ for url in gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt https://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt //sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt; do yarnc hash -t '2024-09-26T11:09:28-07:00' -u "$url" "if twtxt 2 is dropping gemini support, i will probably move on and spend more time on my gemini social zine protocol instead. i think the direction of the protocol is probably fine, but for me web is a tier 2 publishing channel. if the choice is between gemini and http i'm always going to pick gemini. its been a fun ride, but i guess this is where i get off."; done

Yup confirmed!

# url = //sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt
# url = https://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt
# url = gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/twtxt/tw.txt

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org has changed the url of their feed (yet again) and changed every hash in their feed.

@antonio@twtxt.net is right to call this out. We should drop the reliance on the # url metadata field and in fact we should probably just drop this entirely from the spec and go with # uuid as the basis of a feed’s identity.

Even though this happens very rarely (feeds moving to new locations) it more frequently happens with folks that try to serve their feed from Gopher, HTTP and Gemini.

@bender@twtxt.net Hmm I think I know why…

2024-09-27T01:28:53Z	(#bqor23a) @<cuaxolotl https://sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/twtxt/tw.txt> Wait, what!? We're dropping Gemini support!?

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org We probably won’t in fairness. i only called it out because discovery is made much harder with Gopher and Gemini. Caching is also impossible too.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org If rsync is interrupted, it doesn’t delete any files that were transferred completely so it will “resume” from that last complete transfer. However, it does delete any partially transferred file. --partial keeps that partial file around on the destination machine so it can continue right where it left off.

I usually end up using -rtz because I’m usually not 100% sure all the permissions and ownership information are right and I hate littering directories with inconsistent permissions. For a big transfer, I’ll start with -rtvz --stats --dry-run and make sure it’s only transferring the files it should, then I’ll do -rtz --stats --info=progress2 --no-i-r to get one progress bar to watch for the whole transfer.

@prologic@twtxt.net that “little database that could” is simply amazing, isn’t it? I run Conduwuit (nevermind, this one is RocksDB), and GoToSocial using it as a backend, no issues. And, of course, sqlite is the database of choice for a lot of things under iOS.

No reason I haven’t switched. I trust Gitea (for now).

@prologic@twtxt.net, are you running Gitea with an SQL backend, or using sqlite? Any reason have haven’t moved to Forgejo?

@david@collantes.us Yup! 🤞

@prologic@twtxt.net a wise plan! Who knows, ideas change, and often plans do not hash, right? Mature, mature! :-)

@david@collantes.us Staying private until I’ve matured them a bit more 😅

@xuu@txt.sour.is was that 2% picked out randomly? I like it! LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net I like the, allegedly, original:

“It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience.”

Not as simple as the interpretation you used, yet often context is king (or queen).

@prologic@twtxt.net and one could say that “for every simple problem, there is a solution that’s confusing, convoluted, and right.” :-P

@prologic@twtxt.net so, where are they? I want to take a peek at HomeTunnel (even though I don’t a use case for it at the moment). Show us repos! :-P

I’ll write a complaint to the main Gopher server and the hurricane will pass you by.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and @movq@www.uninformativ.de thanks for sharing those options, they’re a good point to start from. Much appreciated! 🙏

@mckinley@twtxt.net I mean, yes! I’ve heard a lot of good things about how efficient of a tool it is for backup and all; and I’m willing to spend the time and learn. It’s just that seeing those +400 possible options was a buzz-kill. 🫣 luckily @lyse and @movq shared their most used options!

Hurricane Helene is passing by. Close enough to give us a day off tomorrow, but not that close to cause major harm. Well, we think. Hurricanes often have a mind of their own, and decide changes on their path. Either way, I shall be back at work on Friday 😩. LOL.

3.2 Timestamps: I feel no need to mandate UTC. Timezones are fine with me. But I could also live with this new restriction. I fail to see, though, how this change would make things any easier compared to the original format.

Exactly! If anything it will make things more complicated, no?

I hear from sources that Khzae will soon shut down. I hope am wrong.

Episódio estranho num táxi em Coimbra. Entrei depois de sair do comboio, e o taxista disse-me logo que tinha de pagar em dinheiro porque não tinha MB. Tudo ok, vamos lá. Quando chegámos ao destino, situação bem estranha:

– Ora bem, são 6.70€
– Ok, vou é precisar de fatura
– Ah não, fatura não tenho
– Como assim?
– Não posso passar fatura
– OK, então temos um problema porque eu tenho de declarar a despesa
– Amigo não lhe posso fazer nada, se não quiser não pague
– o_O como? É assim?
– Pois, se quiser não pague e vá à sua vida
– Ok, uma boa tarde para o senhor
– Boa tarde

O senhor não foi nada mal-educado, simplesmente encolheu os ombros. E eu lá fui à minha vida, sem pagar.
