Support (and thus abuse reports) are now disabled on this pod. There’s now a new setting in Settings -> Poderator Settings called “Disable Support”.

This happens again today. This is twice just today alone. Hmm I’m reconsidering this feature entirely, rarely used and if it’s just going to be abused by spammer, I don’t see the value in it. I’m certainly not going to try to build some kind of “anti-spam” filters or anything, sounds cool, I’d learn a lot, but smells of effort and time I simply don’t have 😢 #spam #sucks

Far-Right 'Terrorgram' Chatrooms Are Fueling a Wave of Power Grid Attacks
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Bloomberg: People in a quiet neighborhood in Carthage, a town in Moore County, North Carolina, heard a series of six loud pops a few minutes before 8:00 p.m. on Dec. 3, 2022. A resident named Michael Campbell said he ducked at the sound. Another witness told police they thought they were he ... ⌘ Read more

Like why does spammers even bother?! Don’t they realize how fucking futile and useless it is to be abuse something like a support form? I mean clearly nothing is going to come of this, except it’s going to be clearly ignored and toss in the bin. 🤣

Yeah, user error on my end, never mind. The persisted settings.yaml overrides the command line arguments. That's surprising to me. I expected the command line options to overrule the config file. Oh well.
⤋ Read More
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org to be fair the settings that you can change in the user interface are persisted to the settings YAML file and yes override any environmental command online options. This is always made sense to me because there are subset of settings that can be changed dynamically at runtime without requiring any restart.

I'm happy with the current implementation though, because the only reason you should be hitting the external profile endpoint at all is a) you're logged in and happen to click on someone's profile that is external to the pod or b) you're anonymous and just clicking through the frontpage (see a)

@bender@twtxt.net The problem with this is we just don’t know until we try. That’s why if the external feed you’re looking for isn’t found in the cache, it’ll try to fetch it in the background. It’s a bit of a sucky UX really, but its better than the experience of “waiting, waiting waiting and then timeout”.

It cooled off to 20°C today, but mid week is supposed to be crazy hot again. It was a nice walk, also plenty of people around, though. So we decided against going up our backyard mountain to avoid the masses. We finally took a path that we haven't checked out for years. That was pretty cool. I couldn't remember anything on that.

@prologic @falsifian This just popped up in my head: How about adding a “fetch context” feature? Point jenny to some mail file that contains a twt (or pipe it to stdin) and it will try to auto-discover and fetch all related things. Like, if it sees something like

@<falsifian https://www.falsifian.org/twtxt.txt>, then it will look in https://www.falsifian.org/twtxt.txt for a twt with hash tkjafka.

@movq Is there a good way to get jenny to do a one-off fetch of a feed, for when you want to fill in missing parts of a thread? I just added @slashdot to my private follow file just because @prologic keeps responding to the feed :-P and I want to know what he's commenting on even though I don't want to see every new slashdot twt.

One thing to bare in mind is that Twtxt (the original spec) is largely dead, this included the registry. The registry in practise was never really widely used, and suffers from “centralization” – Which registry do you use? Its for this reason we built a search engine/crawler to help with searching and discovery. Anyway I digress… LMK if you want to go down this path, happy to document it beyond the scripts I wrote.
