About ChatGPT rotting people’s brains, similarly could be said about search engines, and reference books. Oh, also doom scrolling, and mobile devices, and the Internet… :-P

Now I could. A few minutes ago I posted one, and it went to the void. I can’t delete, though. I get a lovely 403.

Can I create a post?

@prologic@twtxt.net no, good man. Follow the link, follow eet! :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz 🎵 Grafana ana bo bana fifo bo bana gra fana!🎶 Don’t mind me, I am nuts.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I recommend you to remain curious without crossing the threshold. Unless, of course, you truly want to follow a never-ending rabbit hole. 😂

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt so sorry for your suffering, and loss. :-P

@prologic@twtxt.net what are we seeing here?

@prologic@twtxt.net yes, I never understood you using micro.blog (and paying for it, nonetheless!). I don’t like it (as a platform), and have an unexplainable dislike for its creator.

I am also enjoying the tweaking of my Frankenstein monster CSS. LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net I am finding writing my Notes very therapeutic. Just create a markdown file and commit, push, and it’s live. Whatever comes to mind, whatever I want to keep as relevant. Silly things, more like a dump.

If I feel like it, I do. If not, I don’t. Not social, not intended for anyone to see them. I am enjoying it!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de why Gopher to babble, and not just HTTP? I mean, may as well just write plain text files on your machine, and leave them there, right?

Gopher and Mastodon are two completely different things. That’s where my confusion comes from.

@prologic@twtxt.net do you remember Hamachi? Tailscale/Headscale is Hamachi on steroids. They are used primarily for creating a VPN among all your devices so they can talk to one another as if they were on the same LAN, even when they’re not. That was, mostly, my WireGuard usage.

I still have WireGuard running—because it is so lite that it doesn’t matter—to use as regular VPN, but Headscale keeps all my devices connected forming their own “mini-Internet” 100% of the time.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de how does Gopher relates to Mastodon? Are you getting off the Fedi completely?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de the Rock Dove has some seriously sly eyes! LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net Tailscale is awesome! I run Headscale; it replaced my vanilla WireGuard install.

@prologic@twtxt.net will do. No worries, not a show stopper. I will suggest that the muted numbered list not be sorted, but latest muted first. That way we have a better idea. Maybe adding timestamps to those too? Just a thought.

Scratch that, 48 muted feeds!

@prologic@twtxt.net don’t remember now. I have 46 muted feeds. :‘-(

I swear that I have muted all the cat’s feeds already. Yet, a new(?) one popped up.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com all good now. Phew!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz awwww, wish I could help you with that! Is there anything people could do to help you manage it?

Hmm, something isn’t right.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I saw the original fine, but your reply (and mine!) show disconnected here. Hmm, “the plot thickens!” :-D Thanks!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz toally forgiven, and welcome back! :-) What’s new? Tell us all about it!

() @aelaraji@aelaraji.com I am missing the root for this twtxt. What was it? Hmm, referring to https://twtxt.net/twt/g5sjnlq.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOL. I barely use my mother tongue. 😫

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh, you bet someone is adding them. Being as we are a small community, I could almost guess who added what. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I am so tempted to agree with you on this one. There has to be a way to manage that without having to mute the bejesus out of them.

Hey, hey, happy Pride Day! 🌈

@nghialele@nghia.im it’s great to see another Yarnd pod in the wild. Welcome!

@starletvania@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz hello ((hello hello [imagine this as an echo])). ☺️

@thecanine@twtxt.net with this you meant Conversations, not XMPP, right?

“Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!”

On QRs, as long as they work (and they are quite resilient), it doesn’t matter. Their design, and colours, will be based on theme in which they are included. They are getting used more now in the US. They are king on East Asia. They are awesome.

OMG! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I didn’t stop to think on this one. 😅 Of course, duh!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is mind boggling. How come it looks just fine under Mosaic, and not under IE3? Man, am I glad I don’t use a Microsoft browser!

Once does the best of things when bored. :-)

Almost sure it would look even better if you removed CSS altogether for IE3, and the like. Your site is clean as a whistle, just vanilla, no CSS.

You got two plushies! A Tux, and a pretty anime girl! 🙈

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, that will work perfectly. Because you are using “please”—which we all know is a magic talisman word of obedience—all uploads of your code to Github will be automatically paused, until such magic word is removed. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I remember going through your “introduction to Golang”, I don’t remember the URL, but I vividly remember going through it, and I was lost at chapter one. So, about that “mastering” the core in hours, “I don’t believe you.” (insert I don’t believe you meme animated GIF here). LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net what’s to like? :-P

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I don’t like Golang much either, but I am not a programmer. This little site, Go by example might explain a thing or two.

Jokes aside, what’s the aim for doing this? Other than learning something new, that is.

@prologic@twtxt.net so, what did you have for dinner last night? How’s the weather Down Under a bit past 02:00? Do tell me. 🤭

Always glad to hear from you, mate. I understand work and personal life often demand attention. Just a well-being check, that’s all. ☺️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org an “informal” one. @movq@www.uninformativ.de doesn’t even need to reach out. Simply wait until they start playing, measure the tempo, and start bassing on queue! Oh man, I can already imagine it! Dreamy! :-)

Again, I was simply pointing out that, if he used AI to correct misspellings, and improve grammar, then this isn’t true:

“This post was written entirely by a human, with no assistance from AI. (Other than spell- and grammar-checking.)”

@thecanine@twtxt.net right. Spell checkers are not AI. Full grammar checking, and correction? That one I have not seeing, but on AI. So, what I meant was, let the grammar gaffes show; we type as we speak (most of the time). About spelling mistakes, well, let them be corrected as we have done since 1971(?).

@prologic@twtxt.net to err is human, to forgive is divine, right? I say let us err, and forgive. My grammatical errors make me me. Misspellings? Well, we need no stinky AI for that!

@prologic@twtxt.net Dustin’s last sentence on that post:

“This post was written entirely by a human, with no assistance from AI. (Other than spell- and grammar-checking.)”

Is it true that it was written “entirely by a human” then? Pfff.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz this is the way. Tell your pod I am very proud of them! 😂

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz you just described me, according to my wife. 😅😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I forgot to ask you about this. Did you ended up using TLS with Caddy, or you used something else?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org now, that’s as clear as water! See? How come @prologic@twtxt.net wasn’t able to put it that way? LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net I am not convinced. LOL. Can you ELI5 the problem, and what breaking the feed in smaller chunks solves?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org what is the advantage for keeping it small? Will tt/tt2 bog down if your feed isn’t rotated?

Grok’s “daddy” teaching it the good stuff early on:

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok has been repeatedly mentioning “white genocide” in South Africa in its responses to unrelated topics and telling users it was “instructed by my creators” to accept the genocide “as real and racially motivated”.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz wow, she is so extremely talented, not even funny!

@prologic@twtxt.net right. I wonder what prompted the measure. Perhaps Microsoft doesn’t want any scrapper but Copilot to be lurking around? That might even sound as anti-competitive. I wonder how long will it take for lawsuits to kick in.

@prologic@twtxt.net that will not be a problem; as long as it doesn’t affect authenticated users it wouldn’t make a difference. But we are comparing apples and eggs here. I don’t access GitHub while unauthenticated, but I can see how others might. It comes across as anti-web in general.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, “60 requests per hour”, eh? Was that a thing (that is, unauthenticated access to GitHub)?! I know I am on the minority, perhaps, as I rarely (or never) access GitHub unauthenticated.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org crispy! Lovely pic, Lyse!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hmm, I still see the first screenshot at my end. Is that something upcoming, or perhaps being rolled out slowly?

@javivf@adn.org.es use 6697 as port, make sure it is using TLS to connect.

That should minimise the need for muting all those awkward feeds, I figure. :-D Sounds good!

@prologic@twtxt.net where on IRC? Network, channel, nick? IRC is vast! It’s like saying, “meet me in Australia, and we go from there!” 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz so, where is the site? Show us, show us! I use Hugo exclusively, just a binary. My sites also build upon a commit, on my own VPS. 🙈

@prologic@twtxt.net you are certainly a special case of a luddite. Or you like to self-punish. Or both! LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net yes, @xuu@txt.sour.is was the one who mention it. That’s on Disney+, though.

@prologic@twtxt.net LOL. It is from the Severance, AppleTV+ series. I am about to finish watching it with my kid—well, what’s available for seeing. The series is still ongoing. I recommend it!

“Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world. None may atone for my actions but me and only in me shall their stain live on. I am thankful to have been caught, my fall cut short by those with wizened hands. All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am.”

@prologic@twtxt.net I will pull the email. The year is about right.

@anth@a.9srv.net happy birthday, “youngster!”

@terron@duque-terron.cat este gato habla Castellano, o Catalan? Esa oracion suena extranya en Castellano. Yo hubiera escrito:

“En estos momentos, no sé si le está pidiendo a un dios que libere su pueblo felino, o está mirando una paloma.”

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz woodworking is completely down @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ally. You could really say that he was born with a saw in his hands. Or an axe, I don’t remember.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de a first edition signed Superman comic book, carefully folded just to fit, but not damaged enough to have lost its value?

@xuu@txt.sour.is a Star Wars series, eh? Never been a fan. I am Trekkie instead; it comes across as more science fiction, less fantasy. Still, I would see it if only we had Disney+. 😩

@prologic@twtxt.net I read a little about her. Looks to be a good fit for the seat she is holding. I hope she gets to keep it.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz if I haven’t said it before, please allow me to say it now: I kinda like your attitude. Heck, I love it!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yes, it’s bad, but it’s the message what’s important. Now, if you want, I can give you a different perspective on the site, so that you will not see it as horrible anymore. And I will do for only $199.99. A bargain!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahaha! They sure have a point. There is always the next, shinny bandwagon to jump into.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz are you running Grafana in a separate physical machine (or VM) than the one you are pulling metrics from?

In other words, why didn’t you all do the same that @movq@www.uninformativ.de did, and setup a completely different feed for this?

Why are we testing, or playing with, an alternate non-fully-compatible feed format within the same feed that we use daily?

@prologic@twtxt.net hahahahaha! Don’t you go watering that seed, mate 😅. I mean, we all dream about it, ain’t that right?

So, Monday, we meet again. I mean, it is not a complain per se. I am glad to meet Monday! I am just not-so-glad to meet the working-from-office Monday. But, so it is.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk you wrote:

“This might even be backward compatible with older (pre-yarn) clients.”

Yarnd is as backwards compatible with older clients as this. I dare to say, even more so. 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz good day, bored girl! I just finished watching a “Black Mirror” episode, and I and also bored. I want to play Diablo IV, but now the TV is monopolised by wife. Cry, cry, cryyyyyyyy!

🧐🤨🤔

I am sure it wasn’t your intention (not even remotely), but it sounds a lot like corporate bullshit. Hahahaha! Are you sure you haven’t been institutionalised?

I wonder if this twtxt will kick Yarnd into working again. There is only one way to find out, right?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de welcome to a (for us, Floridians) “fresh day” temperature! Soon the daily rains will come, so it will be even hotter, and humid, and sticky. Lovely, eh? LOL.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org there are times that it works out to reply to the “flat” conversation, if it fully relates, or the participants are few, or if the strict topic is kept. When there are too many people, or too many topics being spit out, then forking constantly is the way to go. I am a strong proponent of forking. It’s like telling the rest, “you debate that there, I will take this one aside”.

This is up @movq@www.uninformativ.de ally, a tiny OS that runs in a boot sector. That’s, it’s only 510 bytes! But check it out, and see what it can do. Truly amazing. Can you beat that?!

@prologic@twtxt.net I can hear the moans of regret already. They are loud, and steady. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net hahahahaha! No, no, no. Every word has its use. But for things like these I like certain reactions. For example, I would have given a “thumbs down” to the original twtxt, and done with it. Now, composing a reply, to simply say “no, thank you.”, that I don’t like. It seems a waste of space, and it doesn’t “look good”. I like to see at least 140 characters! Ha!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com which snac instance did you see that looked pretty dope? On the ones I saw in the past, I found their web frontend to be rather messy (even more so on mobile).

@prologic@twtxt.net not me. I hate monosyllabic replies, specifically on the written medium, so I am just typing this to make it longer. But that doesn’t change the truth, and that is, I don’t want, nor care, about twtxt, and Activity Pub integration. 😅
