@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sorry but what’s a partial hash exactly? 🤔

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Did you recently change the url metdata key of your feed?

# url = https://sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/twtxt/tw.txt

Was this at one point # url = https://sunshinegardens.org/users/xj9/twtxt/tw.txt?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Please for the love of god, elaborate 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org da fuq?! same here, what did you just reply to?! 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org da hell are you replying to?! 🤣

Offline backups currently cost me around ~$2.00 AUD per month.

Spent the day performing backups (hadn’t done it in a while 😱) and wrote a full backup definition internal document that defines my backup process, scope, security, frequency, backup locations, capacity and backup and restoration procedures. Very happy with the doc and the updated (now fully documented) plan and scheduled backup frequency (once per month, which I’ll put into my calendar as it’s done by hand for now, with tools). So far backing up ~410GB out of a possible ~12.8TB worth of data in two locations – I deliberately don’t backup everything as much of the data can be re-created (music, videos, tv shows, etc). #Backups #Data

I’ll share my opinion on this later 🤣

What do we think about this? 😅

Swa this pop up in my Github news feed today 🤔

Which links to https://github.com/musingstudio/go-subclub

A Go (golang) library for interacting with the sub.club API.

So I got curious and had a peek 👀

Hmmm 🤔

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net I can only see a mass exodus of uses fleeing telegram as the service becomes less secure or less privacy focused and basically more shit.

@quark@ferengi.one cheers 🍻

it might have made sense in the days of hose and buggy and smoke signals to centralise everything, but these days we have a globalized interconnected society with fast transport and communications. There is no reason for this model anymore 🤣

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Can we please stop this whole “Back to the Office” garbage nonsense?! 😱 If a job does not require the physical presence of a person(s) to perform their role, or they are not “customer facing” or in a job that’s required to “serve the public”, let’s just stop this utter nonsense. As much as I want my shares in Cromwell to go up, I really don’t care. Let the corporate office buildings burn to the ground for all I care, turn them into cheap housing estates or apartments. Why we ever thought centralizing in once place to live and work is beyond me 🤦‍♂️

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org No you’re not the only one. I do this too, I often think about a problem in my head, even imagine the code, sometimes for weeks, hell even months, before I even write a line of code 🧑‍💻

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thankfully it’s quite cool here so far 👌

Interesting 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net That sucks 😢 Sorry to hear you didn’t sleep well 😴

@bender@twtxt.net I was in bed 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Haha I aggressively unfollow feds that are like this now 🤣

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Yes hit a Twt permalink URI and ask for application/ json

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Uggh 🥵 That sounds awful and reminds me of our very odd little 3-day heat wave we had last week 😱

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks! 🙇‍♂️

I see 🤔 Thanks!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This ☝️

@bender@twtxt.net Do you recall what you were clicking through? 🤦‍♂️

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You are totally right. The specs are at least “open enough” for us to consider that as an implementation detail. We, and by we I mean @movq@www.uninformativ.de @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net @xuu and others should discuss this in more detail I believe and try to see if we can agree on what we’re trying to solve.

Does yarnd provide an API for finding twts? Is it similar?

No, it doesn’t. But yarns (the search engine/crawler wrote) seems more fitting here. It’s been discussed before, the possibility of building a “Twtxt Register v1” compatible API for yarns. I think a search engine + crawler + registry (especially ones that can form a bit of a “distributed network) are far more useful I think in order to support the actual decentralised Twtxt / Yarn ecosystem (which is how I prefer to describe it).

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Ahh but this is solved now with the new single shot fetch?

@bender@twtxt.net I’ve sort of lost the plot here a bit 🤦‍♂️ What’s the problem we’re trying to figure out? 🤔

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You are however right that registries always had a “search” capability, amost others.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Jenny hasn’t changed the way it computes hashes has it? (yarnd certainly hasn’t).

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org I think I’m missing something in my description. When I say “search engine” I also mean “with a crawler” that is able to self-discover feeds. A registry (as designed today, or as the spec described) required users to add their feeds to one or more registries, putting the burden on the user(s). I for example do not bother adding my feed to a registry (which one would I add it to anyway?)

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org to my knowledge registries were never designed to crawl the Twtxt space. If they did, they would be considered a search engine 🤣

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org So yes, you would ask a pod about the missing Twt by hash, or whatever. Pods do this already, even though there aren’t that many now, so it maybe a bit less effective today. However it’s more of a small/tiny “distributed” protocol, you ask any pod.

On registries however, I think a registry is the wrong approach. I see far greater value in feed crawlers and search engines like the (half baked one) I built over at https://search.twtxt.net/

@bender@twtxt.net Yes sir! 👌

@bender@twtxt.net I usually follow anyone and anything, then I unfollow when they turn out to be either not interesting or otherwise 🤣

@mckinley@twtxt.net Why is it so hard so you think? 🤔 What’s missing to make this an easy choice for folks? 🤔

Wow! 😮 That’s huge!

@bender@twtxt.net Hehe this is soo true 🤣 And I hate it 😅

Is it really that fucking hard to use decentralized, Self-Hosted tech? 🤔 Or do people just not know how? 😢

@bender@twtxt.net Yes yes but this is exactly my point! We again have a social network claiming to be “decentralized” only to have “ top heavy” instances 🤣 – Mastodon is the same too 😅

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Hang on a minute!!! 😱

This rapid growth led some users to encounter the occasional error that would state there were ‘Not Enough Resources’ to handle requests, as Bluesky engineers scrambled to keep the servers stable under the influx of new sign-ups,”

I thought BlueSky was supposed to be a decentralized social metwork?! 🤦‍♂️

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Very interesting! 🤔What makes this “offline” first though? 🤔

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Interestinf 🤔 Thanks for supporting the work we’ve done too! Happy to hear improvement suggestions too 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de All totally makes sense actuallly 🤣

Introduction to JuiceFS | JuiceFS Document Center – Thinking about using JuiceFS to solve a long-running problem I’ve always had.

• Be able to run services on any node in my cluster and let Docker Swarm pick whatever node it likes (instead of now where I have to pin some workloads to specific nodes, as that’s where their local storage volume is)
  
• Manage the scalability of data and growth over time instead of what I do now which is to extend EXT4 filesystems on my Docker Swarm nodes every few years.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah that’s for sure 👍 I use the Monaco font normally. Been using that for a few years now.

As a reminder, this is how zoomed in I normally am to read anything at all, Try doing this on the website 🤣

Fonts for me have to be crisp, sharp, without any crooked edges or boxed shapes. It has to be crisp and sharp at all zoom levels!

@bender@twtxt.net That’s just it, “pixelated” fonts are rubbish! 🤣 Imagine being blind for a moment, how well do you think you could read any of the text? 😅 I can’t even read it zoomed in! LOL 😝
