Couple of days ago I made a small patch to yarnd (this pod effectively runs main) that filtered out “inactive users”, hard-coded to be LastSeenAt > 90 days and not bother fetching feeds for anything they follow. This has had a dramatic impact on the resources used by this pod (twtxt.net) – See screenshtos.
Has anyone noticed anything? that is y’all that actually do use this pod 😅
Wrong again ChatGPT !
– When will we stop this stupid idiot AI hype train?! This is really expensive garbage IMO and its super slow.
Why exactly do we think AI will take over our jobs exactly?!
– And it doesn’t learn! Try asking the same question in a fresh session.
Working with this CSS library hasn’t been too bad so far with simple trivial shit™ 💩
@bmallred@staystrong.run fuck’n you beaut 🤣
MOTD:
(Media od the day)
An interesting fog formation early this afternoon in the park tha our house backs on to, in full daylight 😱
What about y’all? Anything interesting to share today? 🤔
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hah it’s down for me too! 😱
This is what the last couple of weeks have been like at work 🔥
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bahahaha 🤣 The domain for that image is blocked on my local network 😅
twtxt.net), I'm going to be deleting 235 accounts today: https://gist.mills.io/prologic/0381c79977384051bb0b4afc89b4893d
I just dropped another 124 useless accounts 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh heck you’re right! 🤣 I noticed a few go by that I thought “fuck that’s probably worth keeping” 😅 Oh well, I have backups, and everything is “archived”. There are ~314 accounts left LOL 😂
:set formatoptions-=t in vim would stop the annoying line breaking I've been having in my twts... And I guess, that's it! Things are looking OK on my end.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Looks okay here for me, but then again I’m not as pedantic as @pedantic@arrakis.netbros.com 🤣
Looks like he’s just pressing enter twice really, resulting in what I think are hard paragraphs 🤣
e2 80 a8 is the hexdump for \u2028 – the unicide newline character used in multi-line twts.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Like deebs.net
🤔
I’d also be very interested to hear what some other users of yarnd have to say, sadly there are only a handful of pods around that I’m aware of and/or that peer with my pod (twtxt.net) 😢
Maybe Yarn.social/Twtxt has become boring or too niche? 🤔 Anyway cc @eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com @xuu @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @abucci@anthony.buc.ci
Hah 🤣 @dfaria@twtxt.net Your @dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu feed really does consume about >50% of a “Discover” search with filters “Without replies” and “Hide my posts”. 🤣
36/2 = 18 at 25 Twts per page, that’s about ~72% of the search/view real estate you’re taking up! wow 🤩 – I’d be very interested to hear what ideas you have to improve this? Those search filters were created so you could sift through either your own Timeline or the Discover view easily.
There’s also a pod-level setting (admins) that control what the “Discover” (or front page if you’re not logged in) display:
This is either:
- Local posts only (local to the pod)
- All posts in the pod’s cache
One of the problems I have with changing the way the “Discover” view works whilst at the same time keeping it “clean” (depending on who you talk to) is the behaviour between “Timeline” (what you follow explicitly) and “Discover” (a view into the pod’s cache). See attached, where I by default prefer a “collapsed” view (hiding replies). The default behaviour for Discover (no controls) is “everything”.
The reason I bring this up is that part of my “workflow” has become to occasionally use the “Discover” view to see if I’ve missed any “in-between” replies that often happen, find new interesting folks to follow and/or interact with, etc.
Changing this to anything but the current behaviour would break this flow for me 😢
Today in the news
Microsoft is a security risk
@bender@twtxt.net This is what I fell over and bunged up my shin 😱
@bendwr and I discussing something along the lines of:
I.e: How to deal with or reduce noise from legacy feeds.
Renders like this:
@mckinley@twtxt.net Looks like XMR is much more stable than bloody BTC which is nice 🤣
@sorenpeter@darch.dk Very nice! 👍
Whoot for Fibre Optics 🥳
Our local creek has flooded again 😱
@movq@www.uninformativ.de my best ever moon shot
Little Snitch 👈 This little nice macOS App is really cool 👌 @markwylde@twtxt.net introduced it to me years ago, and I’ve finally installed it in “Demo” mode for the last ~24 hrs and it’s so great 😅 Check this out:
– There are connections made by some apps like Plex Amp that I wasn’t aware of, which I’ve know subsequently blocked. Like pubsub.plex.tv wtf/! 😱
Guess what?! 🤣
$0 Fibre upgrade is finally available! 🥳 Placed an order this morning, expected installation date 15th Jan 2024 🤞
@movq@www.uninformativ.de All I get us NXDOMAIN 😁

SO now Linux GIzmos a website that I regularly like to subscribe to and read via RSS/Atom -> Twtxt has now suddenly gone down this path of “Please disable your adblocker, pretty please, because ads help support us!”
– Geez christ! 😱 🤦♂️ The answer is “fuck no”. Not only can your ads not be trusted as you have no control over them, they can be downright dangerous too! 🤬 Fuck me 🤦♂️ Wtf is going on here?! First Youtube, now some random little site?!
@linux_gizmos@feeds.twtxt.net Oh my god! 😱
When an App’s “Privacy Policy” links to some other random domain 🤦♂️
Oh okay, so Youtube is cracking down on “Ad Blockers”.
Rightio. 🤔 And paying for Youtube Premium costs $14/month?! 🤯
Get fucked 🤣 I guess I won’t be using Youtube anymore. #Youtube #Ads #Premium #Suck
Heh 😅
Had no idea the twtxt project was so busy and noisy 🤔
AmaIng that on these plane WiFi networks, clearly powered by satellites, even get this much bandwidth 🙃
Latency is pretty piss poor, but you kind of expect that with a moving target 🤣
302 to send me to https://fit.eapl.me/sign_in.php. Why? It also says nothing about what it is. Finally, my phone does all that, and more, automatically; why would I come to the web to record anything?
At what point do you concede defeat and just give on the idea of stable internet connectivity?! 🤔 if anyone ever tells you that ADSL, VDSL, XDSL or whatever other kind of copper DSL is “great technology”, just laugh at them 🤣
@adi@twtxt.net Oh my god! 😱 The demo is total garbage 🤣 It has so many UX things that are just “off” and kind of broken 🤦♂️
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah thanks! 🙏 I think I’ve read this very paper myself, the difference between centralisation, decentralisation and distributed systems are basically summed up in the figure:
podman works with TLS. It does not have the "--docker" siwtch so you have to remove that and use the exact replacement commands that were in that github comment.
I really don’t think TLS is supported yet.
