Recent twts from eaplmx

@prologic@twtxt.net if I remember correctly someone suggested a tool to ask for time preferences, and supposedly it gave you the best options for the group.
I signed up for one but never really used it.

We could try for the next one…

In-reply-to » Had my first eye exam in forever last night and ordered some new glasses now that I have an updated prescription. I went with frames that are pretty similar to what I already use, but image mockup technology has improved a lot since the last time I ordered so I amused my kids with pictures of myself with wild frames first.

@axodys@octobloc.xyz What’s image mockup tech? A preview of how you will wear some frames? 😮

In-reply-to » @darch @prologic is there any way to remove @~eaplmx (texto-plano)? It's a 'dead' twtxt currently. I only use @eaplmx (English) and me@eapl.mx (Spanish)

@prologic@twtxt.net Hmmm, let me split it into 2 things:

  1. darch was replying to #3dgf3ma and tagged the wrong eaplmx. I’ve seen that sometimes Yarn Web tags the wrong people. I don’t know if that’s the case here.

  2. The account in texto-plano appears in twtxt.net as a mention suggestion although I’ve unfollowed it. I don’t know if having a lot of ‘garbage’ accounts is a matter.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, thanks!

I’m aware that those cheap devices FM have awful quality and low range.
I’m thinking of something like: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/05B-Transmisor-estaci%C3%B3n-0-138-supermercado/dp/B0B251XK2R/

But I’m seeing bad reviews, on a lot of static and bad audio quality. And again, now Bluetooth has much better quality than FM can give, so it’s more for nostalgic purposes, like LoFi music, artificially adding noise.

For DVDs, damn, we’ll need to make backups, especially for content hard to find again Who would think?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @movq@www.uninformativ.de Pinterest is amazing! In fact, I’ve replaced FB, Reddit, and Google Photos with it.

It has its own problems, but my main use case is discovering related images. For instance, memes and funny pictures for my wife, visual ideas for work, or even random comics and photos just for the sake of it. It autodetects language, so it’ll mostly suggest content in languages you already know, and it has few ads.
Also allows you to store your own content publicly or privately, so I use it to save or pin my images instead of on a shared Drive Presentation or a random chat.
I don’t use it that much to save websites, but I see a lot of people doing that.

Finally, I don’t know if a Self-hosted Pinterest is useful for me. To manage my own content I’d look for a Google Photos replacement, and I’ll miss the discoverability from other authors.

In-reply-to » Hmmm... Go instead to the lower limit of Miller's Law (about having 7 +/- 2 options)

@darch@neotxt.dk Looks amazing! I’d only add the checkmark from my previous image or any other way to know if something is toggled on or off. At first sight it’s difficult to know if On twtxt.net is on or off.

In terms of a11y, I have never done that, I guess instead of <a> it could be styled checkboxes due to the on-off nature.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Is that really happening with your original CDs/disks?
I thought the lifespan was decades 😮 is it perhaps a matter of humidity?

I threw away all my CDs and DVDs so I don’t have that problem anymore, but I wonder what would happen with my grandpa’s discs. And yeah, moving home with physical media, music 💿, books 📚, magazines 📜, is troublesome.

I leave a few links on the topic, if anyone is interested

In-reply-to » Does anyone want to try the current alpha of the Yarn Android app? - New name, new icons, and logo - Default instance is https://twtxt.net - It doesn't delete the login info when there is no Internet connection or on Airplane mode - Splash screen now adapts to Light or Dark theme, based on your Android settings

@justamoment@twtxt.net Haha, that’s amazing… Could you raise an issue on Gitea, please? 😀

In-reply-to » On things you don't need to know but I'm going to tell anyway, I'm a bit sad b/c our current income is not enough to buy the house 🏠 my wife (and I) desire.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net 450k-720k USD? Sounds to me like a big number!
A decent house here is about 50k-100k. With 500k you can get a small mansion in important cities.

Also, the average wage in my country is about 500-1,000 USD/month, so I guess it’s a matter of numbers. Thanks for sharing, it gives me perspective.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net That’s part of the plan. Sadly the monthly payment for that house is 2-3x the cost of the rent. The interest rate is about 10.5% yearly (I guess it’s not huge, IDK how it is in your countries)

Here by law, the debt must take up to 20 years (WTF!) to be paid, so shouldn’t be longer than an average lifetime. But if you are unable to pay at that time, they don’t give you the credit, so you feel like you have no options.

Well, enough ranting. That’s how it is, so we’ll keep looking for options 😄

Thanks everyone! I had a tough but important talk with my wife after receiving the negative from the bank, and we’ll lower the expectations while we work as hard (and relaxed) as we can.

In-reply-to » (#yux6gca) @prologic well, yeah, the Web is going extremely fast and the mobile app/API is very far from having all those features 😵‍💫

I wonder how you guys manage to do so much with a full-day job, kids, and such. My respects, as always :)

In-reply-to » Do you guys think twtxt/yarn should have 2 factor auth system? I know good passwords is enough but it would be more better if twtxt/yarn have 2FA/2 factor auth.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have implemented TOTP on Python and PHP (and a decade ago on Java J2ME), if any of you need help with the UX @ me in the issue.

In-reply-to » One of the things that attracts me about the "twtxt social network" is how radically decentralized it is. Not only each user is its own node (maintaining its own text file feed), there's no limits to the protocols used to access each feed. Sure, most of the feeds are probably being served over http or https, but there are feeds being served over gopher, and I bet some of them over ftp/ftps. But it doesn't have to be that way - feeds can be distributed in any modern equivalent to the sneakernet, you can save yours in a usb stick or a floppy disk, hand it over by hand or send it via postal mail; you can distributed them on a mailing list, on the usernet... The limit is your imagination. This reflection made me realize that there's no reason to wait for secushare, twtxt feeds can already be used, shared, maintained and spread on GNUnet, taking this social media platform to the GNU Internet.

@marado@tilde.pt I’m serving my twtxt in Spanish on Gemini as well, and perhaps we could serve Yarn/twtxt.net on a proxy.

I like that the ‘protocol’ goes beyond federalization and it’s mostly decentralized, with some inherent disadvantages like discoverability, so you can federate it, have pods, instances, directories and such. I’m missing some interoperation like on ActivityPub but not having it is a kind of feature.

For me is like a self hosted blog with RSS.
