In-reply-to » No-one probably noticed, but the Twtxt Search Engine has been down for several days, and I've burned all the budget (well and truly) already 🤣 This has been due to a data corruption event, and I've had to a) fix the data corruption and b) migrate to Bitcask v2 where I'm continuing to make reliability improvements on the KV store used in a lot of my projects.

And it’s back! With hopefully minimal data-loss. Generally speaking Bitcask is designed to be pretty fault tolerant, in that if a data corruption occurs, you only corrupt the last key/value pair written to the WAL (write-ehad-log).

Sorry about this, it’ll be back up shortly 😅

In-reply-to » QOTD: Which web search engine do you use? 😂

On a more serious note, is there a viable alternative search engine that doesn’t suck today? One that doesn’t get into this “AI” nonsense? 🤔

In-reply-to » Google Search's 'udm=14' Trick Lets You Kill AI Search For Good An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: If you're tired of Google's AI Overview extracting all value from the web while also telling people to eat glue or run with scissors, you can turn it off -- sort of. Google has been telling people its AI box at the top of search results is the future, and you can't turn it off, but that ignores how ... ⌘ Read more

How about we put a pin in the “AI” garbage (Gemini included) until we’ve figured out how to make build a system that has any level of cognitive capability and understanding of concepts? Let’s toss this autocomplete garbage in the bin, the auto-complete we’ve built over the last few decades works great and consumes next to no energy at all. This so-called ‘AI” is worse than the fucking Cryptocurrency hyped up craze in terms of energy waste. 🤦‍♂️ #AI #Sucks

In-reply-to » A careless rm -rf just got me, big time. I realized what had happened and stopped it in less than a second, but it had already deleted ~3000 (70 GiB) of files I didn't want to delete. Luckily I had backups in Restic.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Nice! Restic is great! I’ve restored mostly my pod data at various times 🤣

In-reply-to » This was interesting: I didn't expect so much variation in reported times. If you happen to have #plan9 running on some other VPS, I'd love to hear your results. https://pdx.social/@a/112481970480703254

@anth@a.9srv.net Ahh in that case I can’t help I’m sorry. I wouldn’t even know what to do with Plan 9 😅

@anth@a.9srv.net Not sure if you follow me or not, if you do, I could do some comparisons on some on-prem private cloud?

In-reply-to » Amazon Defends Its Use of Signal Messages in Court America's Federal Trade Commission and 17 states filed an antitrust suit against Amazon in September. This week Amazon responded in court about its usage of Signal's "disappearing messages" feature.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net

They’re upset that they don’t get to spy on private information because they used an ephemeral channel to send it?
Are they upset because they erased the white boards too?

In-reply-to » Two mates and I went on a 25km hike yesterday to the Wasserberg (lit. Water Mountain) and Fuchseck (lit. Fox Corner) on the edge of the Swabian Alb. They arrived by train and of course it was delayed by half an hour, "due to limited availability of tracks". That was a first one, I never heard that reason before. Another train had a breakdown in a train station and later my mates' train had to be rebooted, too. That restart alone took 10 minutes. O_o Software problem, it can't be helped.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I wondered that too but I’m not sure now hmmm🤔
