@prologic@twtxt.net I’m writing this msg feo. I the Goryon app right now. BTW, today I downloaded the Goryon repo and tried to run it, but it’s giving some errors. What’s the best way to share the errors and receive some tips?. I’m on Win10 64 bits.

@~eaplmx@eapl.mx Ok, it seems this thing is working https://eapl.mx/twtxt/

I’ll have to improve the password system, but now should be enough to send a few twts in spanish

I had forgotten I wrote a bit a few months ago 🤔 What’s missing is about the commercial net as a required opposite of the hobbyist side

https://text.eapl.mx/my-take-for-the-hobbyist-net-in-2022

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee hehe!

@tkanos@twtxt.net something I’d like is to have an ‘app’ to twt, currently I connect to my server on ssh, but it takes many steps.
I was thinking on having the easiest possible way to do it, but I don’t want a whole website for it.

I’ve seen some single PHP script for it, but my server doesn’t have support for PHP (yet)…
So, it’s a not so painful problem for me, right now

@tkanos@twtxt.net what do you mean by lack of encryption?

A federated alternative to Reddit
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/index.html

@prologic@twtxt.net @abucci@anthony.buc.ci sorry for the typos 🙃

On the updates, I’m in the middle, I understand of being always on beta, more if the development model is like that (Google vs Apple mindsets for instance, buying a product vs being the product)

What could we do to avoid that feeling?

@prologic@twtxt.net @abucci@anthony.buc.ci as a developer, well, in some way I like from some platforms to feel pressured to update, othrteidr you’ll never find time to do it, but at the same time you do the barely minimum to comply with the reqs.

That said, yes, I see a planned obsolescence in everything. For instance the topic in my industry today was the discontinuation of Amazon Game Sparks so many important games won’t have online matches until the Devs achieve replace on a rush the online system. (I mean in a rush since it’s not a priority until it occurs)

@prologic@twtxt.net @abucci@anthony.buc.ci he, yesterday I tunerd on an Android 13 phone I haven’t used in a week and I received a notification to update about 40 apps (I install every update manually to read what are they about) . It’s insane as a user.

Also I updated some Ubuntus I have (Desktop and VPS) and it’s the same, dozens of updates which I only say, Yes to all.

I should retake my text about the Hobbyst Net vs the Commercial Net

P. S. Both run over the ‘Internetz’

@prologic@twtxt.net @abucci@anthony.buc.ci that said, the model of Reddit, as a modern forum with karma and basically every topic or subreddir available is appealing, and has the main network effect.

I’ve looking for some other alternatives, HckrNews, lobsters, and some decentralized ones. What do you use for your Hobbyst interests?

@prologic@twtxt.net @abucci@anthony.buc.ci we understand the capitalist issues (aiming for the maximum profit, owning the production means and making the investors happy)
Sadly, removing the money interest doesn’t remove the money supplies need to run the operations.

I think co-ops are a good middle, where the users or the workers are at the same time micro-investors, so the have the bones in it, instead of being an external capitalist investor (only bringing money)

@prologic@twtxt.net @abucci@anthony.buc.ci in this case who’s going to subsidize the costs while the income goes over the expenses?

In FB it depends on VC capital, expecting to suddenly have a monopoly. In Hobbyst projects we run with our pockets and those donations could never come.

and we are at home 🏡 over and out until tomorrow

@prologic@twtxt.net hehe, it was a surprising conversation, I wasn’t expecting your response and suddenly it happened.

As a UX designer myself, I would say there is many things to improve, forgive me for that 😁
But after the setup, it’s working amazingly, congrats!

Working on a IM is not an easy task, and I can see a lot of effort behind the ‘simple’ experience of sending messages. Kudos for that!

In my mind I currently have:
What tech stack should I master on the next few months? I’m thinking in a Unity, Flutter, RoR

Also, what should I do with the Game Studio? In thinking on restructure it from the scratch, stating as a co-op, redesigning how to bring resources to create new products.

And for me and my family, I think we are doing OK, but need resources for the next immediate goals

So I have a lot to think, but at the same time I should not obsess overthinking 🙃

Well, we’ll start driving for 10 hours to arrive home 🏡

And in the meantime I’ll be thinking about appealing stuff to work on for the next few months.

@prologic@twtxt.net Ok, I tried with your server and it seems to work. I should try with my server (which has the newest version of Go), but that will be later this week

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net Xfce

@prologic@twtxt.net Salty.im

Could I create an account in you server?, and do you have a 101 guide to test the service, thx!

On making your own machine press (in this case, create your own micro-blogging platform or your own protocol)

https://text.eapl.mx/crea-tu-propia-imprenta

After a few hours driving to the North 🚘, we are gonna take some rest before the last part, to return home 🏡

How is your Monday going?

@prologic@twtxt.net I tried to setup the DNS configs in my server and running the Go client but I received some errors and never tried again.

I could try again, and send you a msg.

@prologic@twtxt.net OK, I’ll take a look into the repo and I’ll start with the Hello World after the vacations

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks for the advice! I worked on Cordova and Ionic in 2016, with React Native in 2018-2019, and I switched to Unity for the last 3 years, so I suppose I have foundations to learn Flutter.

I was learning Ruby to join a possible back-end project, but why not start learning Dart/Flutter to see how it goes?
BTW is this the current repo?
https://git.mills.io/eldersnake/goryon

Finally, I need to understand better Salty.im, since I tried to use it a few months ago and I was unable to connect. Working on a Messaging App would be awesome, but really complicated due to all the requirements. We should try chatting there in following days.

@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry, I haven’t used Flutter nor Dart enough, just Hello worlds… Currently I’m looking for a good platform to aim for job opportunities (besides Game Dev which is unstable) and interesting projects for the portfolio.

If you recommend me learning it, and you might wait a few weeks, I could try.

About publishing on Android and iOS, and doing QA, that’s what I do every day.

@darch@neotxt.dk @prologic@twtxt.net what about mirroring it to IPFS and linking the hash 😛

@prologic@twtxt.net need any help with that?

I was looking for a side project, for instance a twtxt reader on Unity/C# but could be something different

@prologic@twtxt.net you use VSCode with Neovim? I don’t know how that’s posible, is that a plugin inside Neovim?

Now I’m connecting from the Android client Goryon.

It seems the latest version is from 2020 but at the same time looks like is fetching the Twts correctly. 🤔

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I use VSCode on Ubuntu and Win, how inconvenient is to use Codium talking about the updates, plug-ins and such?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci well, I think that’s a feature to avoid censorship. But that’s a problem as well with some content like child porn or leaked files.

I’m not a heavy user, I got to say, but it sounds like an interesting technology for some specific use cases

@maya@maya.land consumerism vs minimalism?

@justamoment@twtxt.net I’ve been trying to learn (neo)vim and replace Nano, VS Code and VStudio, but has been a difficult curve.

Creating quick notes sounds like a simple case to practice.

I was checking in my notes from 2019, that before using https://enso.sonnet.io, I used Calmly Writer

https://www.calmlywriter.com/online/

Pretty similar but w/o the fading lines. What do you use to write your texts?

@thecanine@twtxt.net It looks like a whole replacement for G Suite, G Drive and more :o

Interesting, thanks for sharing!

And lastly, I’m researching to install Piwigo in the server as an alternative to Google Photos which has been really convenient for the last 10 years, but we all know the privacy concerns.

Do you have another alternative to Google Photos? I’m looking for:

• A simple way to upload my photos from a few mobile phones (mainly Android) to the cloud
  
• I don’t care about web or public galleries
  
• I remove most of the photos from the phone, to check them with Google Photos App and sometimes with the Web site

For this travel I’m using a forgotten laptop (Dell Inspiron of 2012 I think) and it’s working amazingly with a new SSD and Xubuntu 22.04

And now, I’m updating my personal VPS (eapl.mx/eapl.me) to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and also doing some clean up of personal stuff.

Looks like a nice saturday over here

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci 😃✌️

it has been a (complicated) topic for us. Sustaining the project for a decent amount of time, among with the interest of the users, the volunteers working on it, and paying the bills.

Keeping something on for free is extremely difficult when there is an scarcity of resources (like free time or spare money coming from a wage).
Perhaps an incentivized donation is better? I recall that Wikipedia has enough money and anyway they ask for donations in a passive-aggressive way 🤔

@movq@uninformativ.de Stupid sexy money

I’ve trying to create the habit to write more about my work (what brings money to my family) and my passions (that brings some additional joy that work sometimes can’t bring)

I’m using https://enso.sonnet.io and has been amazing to focus on one line at the time, instead on overthinking on a complicated text, it’s more similar to have a conversation. That’s something I like from microblogging (ignoring some disadvantages of async communication with small messages)

Hello everyone, I’m enjoying my vacation over here, but checking twtxt.net has been a good hobbie to think about a community/platform creation. I’ve seen also some work on specifications, protocols and such.

I got to say it’s a nice conversation

@tkanos@twtxt.net BTW what would happen in the case of a hash collision?

Once I calculated that it’s remotely possible, but with a massive usage, it could occur 🤔

#prematureOptimizationFTW 🙄😁

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess we could consider the original version like 0.9, the current one 1.0 and the yarn extensions the 1.1 like with HTTP, hehe
And then we could wait 20 years for the 2.0

https://www.baeldung.com/cs/http-versions

@mckinley@twtxt.net go for it!

So, if someone doesn’t care about their privacy or health, well, we are lost as a community

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci what’s the difference? a lot!

Example: Health is important for a good quality of life, but if you don’t care about your life (in the short term at least), you won’t take care of something important.

@tkanos@twtxt.net 10 seconds?!
Is it opening all the connections at the same time?

(I don’t use Go in a daily basis, but I think I understand the code a bit), great work!
