@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Yup! But you should not be seeing any requests from this pod, only the search engine ;‘(until I fix it) 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Hah! 🤣 Please remind me to try to fix this. Just been looking at the code, nothing is “quick”, except to add your domain to an internal blacklist, recompile and redeploy (uggh)

@bender@twtxt.net Hmm I think you’ve uncovered a bug (or interesting side effect) of the crawler in yarns (the search engine) 😢

@bender@twtxt.net Btw, as you know, one thing the yarnd client has always lacked is some kind of “in-app” notification of sorts. Something to inform the user, “hey, you know what feed you follow, it’s looking like it’s kind of dead, maybe consider unfollowing it!” 🤣

I took a guess based on my shell history 🤣

"darch follows https://arrakis.netbros.com/user/pedantic/twtxt.txt and was last seen 625 days ago"

@bender@twtxt.net No no, I get it. It’s just not as simple as any particular solution. Right now I don’t even know what the feed’s full URI was nor who on this pod (if at all) still follows it? I’ll bet it’s an inactive user right? Gimme the full URI was it was and I’ll have a poke at the DB? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org To be fair I think this needs to evolve anyway. Authoring new “personas” isn’t really that wildly used beyond the admin of a pod and even that’s really just me 🤣

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net What drug is that?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Hah! Remind me to talk to you about how yarnd peers with each pod in its own network to do exactly that. Maybe we could open up the protocol and you could potentially pee with other pods?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Same here! His server is notoriously unreliable but I know he is somewhat active on Twtxt 😅

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org This is why yarnd has never implement automatic un-following for this very reason. It’s hard (likely impossible) to get 100% right.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Hah! 😅 Totally didn’t see this coming 🤣 AI and LLM(s) as a “service” posing new security and privacy threats? 🙄

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It certainly looks like a reasonable approach to me so far 👌

@bender@twtxt.net If you look at your Following list yarnd is continually improving the tools and data available to you especially regarding feed acailabiliry and maybe this helps you manage who/what you follow? 🤔 – I’ve certainly found it immediately useful!

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net oh oh! There goes the Australian economy 🤣

Haha!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hmm let’s add it to the switch that marks feeds as “dead” 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net Currently internally feeds are marked as “dead” for some known statuses. But yes nothing is automatically done (yet).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org errors are already reported to users, but they’re only visible in the following list.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Good goal! 👌

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net Getting hot eh? 🥵

@bender@twtxt.net Unfoetunately that isn’t actually true as it depend on the ingress architecture and networking.

@bender@twtxt.net I’ve blocked it from this pod for now 🤞Not sure which users are still trying to fetch the non-existent feeds sorry!

@bender@twtxt.net define hammering?

Gotta keep up to date 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Is the other yarn.mills.io?

@xuu@txt.sour.is it’s always interesting to hear how these things happen.

@bender@twtxt.net Yes, why? 🤔

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Off interstate on a work trip at the moment and just got up and it’s like 7C 🥶

Then I realized there’s more than one version of “BMP”

🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That is super weird 🤔 I don’t get what’s going on either? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha! 🤣 Teasing the original post makes me realize the true meaning of the word “confluence” 🤣

@xuu@txt.sour.is That’s a 404 🤣 – Also wouldn’t my ingress into my cluster (Traefik) have to support HTTP/3 (QUIC) too? 🤔 How does this even work in practice hmmm🤔

@xuu@txt.sour.is Wow! 😱 That’s nuts! How did they take over the account? Password leak and no multi factor auth?

@xuu@txt.sour.is Yeah I can see QUIC being a bit “snappier” especially on mobile networks.

@xuu@txt.sour.is That’s my basic understanding too after doing the research.

Do you think yhere’d be any noticeable tangible benefits observed for self hosting? 🤔

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Cool! 👌

Does anyone know what the differences between HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are? 🤔

It also helps a lot to a) ensure you turn off all things “iCloud” when you setup your device and b) teach your wife and children the benefits of doing the same and risks of not ensuring you do a) and c) ensuring that you keep doing a & b 🤣

Some of those *.apple.com DNS requests look legit and valid, like itunes (the App Store) and push notifications. Need to investigate what some of the other ones are. There are some Apple domains I already block as well that I’ve figured out over the years.

Last ~24 hours of DNS Requests:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah I’m pretty confident in what my iPhone and other Apple devices (Macbook, Mac Studio, iMacs, etc) do and don’t do in regards to talking back to Apple over the Internet. I mean, I do DNS filtering at my home network and most of the time I ensure my phone is connected to my VPN so that all DNS traverse through my own network and filters,

Obviously I can’t guarantee that it’s not making its own DNS requests and sneaking through my filters, I could go and check at my router level, but I’m fairly confident it probably isn’t.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de At least with an iPhone I’m not forced to use anything like Google, Facebook, or TikTok. None of those “things” are ever pre-installed, hidden or otherwise.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh geez that sounds like an awful phone 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup!

My daughter won her first match!!! 🥳

@bender@twtxt.net I’ll see if I can start a discussion upstream.

@bender@twtxt.net Or maybe because I block Youtube?

All I see is random white noise? Hmmm 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net True

@bender@twtxt.net LOL looks bloody centered to me 🤣 How many pixels off are we talking? 😅

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Those look like encoding errors. You’ve likely used characters not supported by the encoding of the document. Easily fixed!

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Personally I use this thing I built called zs 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net wtf?! What is this? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I’m not really sure what you mean tbh? 🤔 How are buttons misaligned exactly?

@mckinley@mckinley.cc That is pretty cool! 😎 Reminds me of something I also want to either find or build; a FUSE filesystem or a Go library that acts as a limited cache with maximum time-to-live on files written. Think, caching Youtube videos for tubeproxy but where storage is always capped at an upper bound. Older items get constantly deleted.

~2 years later…

Yeah I’m kind of glad they’re better at Hardware too and not this (questionable) “social media” thing 🤣 #Mitre10 #Hardware #Social

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Very cool! 👌 Makes me want to redo the yarnd UI using BeerCSS from scratch, but it’s an awful lot of work 🙄

@xuu@txt.sour.is Haha 🤣

@Rob@jsreed5.org Hmm Coal -> Heat -> Stream -> Generator -> Electricity -> Resistance -> Heat

You do have an interesting point there 🤔 Seems rather wasteful just to produce some heat 🔥

@golang_news@feeds.twtxt.net Cool! 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah this is why I haven’t done it yet because I don’t know how to build it 🤣

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net See I told y’all 🤣 AI is “artificial incompetence” 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Yup!

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh gotcha! That could be simple enough to work or maybe a different background for the card? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net This is basically the problem. Even if you wanted to there generally isn’t any state for feeds stored on behalf of the user, in other words, a read status.

I don’t know how we will handle the resetting of it, after reading…

I thought about it a few times, but I’ve never really been able to figure out a way of coming up with a viable solution to that.

@bender@twtxt.net A tiny dot you say eh? 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net It’s looks like it’s basically all-in-one so yeah but simpler to use 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Both. I use it locally. Its basically a linter.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes I feel your pain 🙄

@xuu@txt.sour.is Yeah it seems to be quite easy to operate actually 👌 Love the zero configuration!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Welcome back! Didn’t notice 🤣

@xuu@txt.sour.is I don’t get it? 🤔

In fact I recommend this really, it’s just less “mucking around” and what we call “zero configuration”.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net If you’d like to try something new (I know I know!); I just modified your site’s file a teeny weeny bit and got it working with FrankenPHP a nice little portable web server written in Go that “just works”™ that is able to handle and execute PHP for you and your site basically “just works”™ out of the box locally, run from any directory.

I mean if you didn’t really need PHP (I suspect you do?) you could run any ‘ol web server in the current directory where you have your site and just serve that straight up locally.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Normally, in the days when I used to run Linux on the Desktop and used Apache once upon a time, the default configuration would mean files served out of your public_html directory in your home directory was the place where the web server looked for to serve files from. This would make something like http://localhost/~your_username work. But it’s been a while since I’ve done any of this myself…”

Dear OnlyDomains, part of Team Internet. Do you think you could stop being so incompetent when it comes to Domains, DNS and basic HTTP? I reported this to you on Friday, and you are still arguing with me over Support the legitimatecy of the claims? Seriously?! 😧

$ dig @1.1.1.1 +short onlydomains.com.au a
198.50.252.65

$ nc -vvv 198.50.252.65 443
nc: connectx to 198.50.252.65 port 443 (tcp) failed: Connection refused

#OnlyDomains

And errors out expectedly using dash or ash, very nice POSIX Sh compliant shells:

$ ./foo.sh
./foo.sh: line 5: [: bar: integer expression expected

So the lessons here are twofold:

• Always use shellcheck to check your shell code
  
• Never use Bash or rely on Bash(isms). Always prefer POSIX Sh

Which once fixed, removing the extra [ and ] errors out with shellcheck as expected:

Invalid number for -eq. Use = to compare as string (or use $var to expand as a variable). [SC2170]

I was/am right of course :D

In POSIX sh, [[ ]] is undefined. [SC3010]

Also, why isn’t shellcheck being used here? It would have picked this (contrived) example up?

bar is referenced but not assigned. [SC2154]

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It did however rain all night here however 🤣 Perhaps they were right afterall, just wrong on the location? 😅

What a glorious morning for a public holiday 💪 What shall I do today? Hmmm 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m not looking forward to summer at all 🥵

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Probably used one of the filters? 🤔

This is why you stick to POSIX sh as @mckinley@twtxt.net points out 🤣 Prwtry sure this is a “Bashism” right?

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net And we are surprised why? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net No bubbles burst 💥 hehe 😝 All good! 👍 I think I was aware of the search results and the lack of interactivity there, artifact of borrowed template code from the search engine 😢 Just need to refactor it to use the same template as the normal timeline, but also support highlights, something it doesn’t do now either.

@bender@twtxt.net You are right. I’ll have to fix the later for sure, the finding “reading” in “foo-reading” is probably a behavior of the indexing and search library being used. It probably behaves that way.

I like how tags like #reading now actually work correctly on Yarn pods 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ooof that’s a bit warm 🥵

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What’s the temp? 🤔

Transparency petition - Whistleblower Justice Fund

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Normally you would so something like this on Ubuntu:

sudo apt install apache2

In fact I highly recommend you follow this guide:

Install and Configure Apache

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Can’t argue with the some of the feats we’ve achieved for sure 😅 I think some of the good stuff is in smarter auto completion: summarization and pattern reproduction.

But “intelligent” it ain’t 🤣

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Bahahaha 🤣 I doubt I could write a chess engine now 😅

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org I don’t believe so. But then again we’d have to define what cognitive understanding really is 😅 LLM(s) have none.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah in Australia it’s only 20 paid days of annual leave (paid)
