@jason@jasonsanta.xyz / @movq@www.uninformativ.de Help me debug something I just observed here… @jason@jasonsanta.xyz posted a Twt (https://twtxt.net/twt/4cgtisa) with raw line of (from his feed):
2022-09-03T03:40:19Z (#ohihfkq) @<maya https://maya.land/assets/twtxt.txt> you got starlink?
Basically replying to “something” that hashed to #ohihfkq
However #ohihfkq appears nowhere that I can find. I know this can sometimes happen due to edits, or deletes, so just curious to see what happened here. Also @jason@jasonsanta.xyz, @maya@maya.land as far as many of us that have been using Twtxt/Yarn over the years have come to understand that she is basically a 1-way poster, posts to Mastodon and mirrors her posts to a Twtxt feed, but never responds to anyone or anything 😅 Just FYI 🤗
I found her Twt by that Hash with our search engine
=> https://search.twtxt.net/twt/ohihfkq
Which is even more intriguing now… 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net It looks like yarnd ate that twt. It’s definitely on the original feed, but not on the external user page.
@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm, it’s not on twt.nfld.uk’s external user page either.
Gonna keep looking for they “how” and “why”
Oh ! 🤦♂️ I know exactly what’s happened here! It must be that time of year again where whatever part of the world @maya@maya.land posts from has switched to Daylight Savings Time and sadly her script(s) still have a bug. Her post is in the future! 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net It’s definitely a good thing that malicious actors can’t just make a post in the future and effectively be “pinned” on every Yarn pod. I’m glad that was fixed.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Pretty sure this is the case. We confirmed that exact same thing the last few times this happened 🤣
@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is exactly how we work this out last time too 👌
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Did you time travel into the future to post those? Anyway that is weird and if the system clock is fine then the posts should more be in the future.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah in the US the clocks did not change yet. It switches in Novemeber.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah its a mystery why that would happen
@prologic@twtxt.net @jason@jasonsanta.xyz @movq@www.uninformativ.de I went on the mastodon feed and it seems the twtxt posts have been ahead by an hour since at least July 1st. It’s possible the bug was never fixed but we didn’t notice until someone with a different client tried to respond to @maya@maya.land.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s alright, time zones are challenging to work with :)
@mckinley@twtxt.net We need to make something like computer time or something like that so people using a computer can say like lets have a chat thursday at 7:00 and no timezone things.
@jason@jasonsanta.xyz Isn’t that called UTC? 😂
@prologic@twtxt.net Though no one ues it though
@jason@jasonsanta.xyz True 😆
What about Internet time? 🤔
Also known as swatch time
@jason@jasonsanta.xyz You can use it in twtxt files. From the original spec (emphasis mine):
The twtxt file contains one status per line, each of which is equipped with an RFC 3339 date-time string (with or without UTC offset) followed by a TAB character (\t) to separate it from the actual text. A specific ordering of the statuses is not mandatory.
Actually, feeds generated by yarnd are on UTC, using the zulu suffix
@mckinley@twtxt.net Correct 😂 Easier that way 😆
@prologic@twtxt.net That is confusing and no one will understand how to use it. But I did not even know UTC means Coordinated Universal Time. We need to make a revolution to get rid of timezones on the internet and just use UTC
@jason@jasonsanta.xyz Haha good luck with that 😂
interesting hash this yarn 😆
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah its never going to change but its an option to use UTC
