@bender@twtxt.net Good question! XFCE us a better choice IMO

But why?

I fully support “small scale” and “slow” here. I think if you’re going to be successful at “self hosting” that’s kind of the design and architecture you need to go for IMO.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Me neither. I did a bit of research but couldn’t find anything. So if we created something, it’d have to be our own thing I think.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Would there be any standard way of indicate this behavior at all that you’re aware of? Any special way of linking the image? Or something? Hmmm 🧐

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh cool! Thank you 🙏 FWIW yarnd has a built-in feature similar to this too where an operator (what we call a poderator) has to “whitelist” domains that may serve images before it’ll render them inline at all (to prevent abuse).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh I see! Interesting 🧐 Would you prefer that clients like yarnd prefetch resources liks this, cache them and serve the cached copy? 🤔

I just realized, this is the last Saturday of the month. So Yarn.social meetup is up again tomorrow. Same time as last time if anyone is interested/around to join and hang out!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com What does “hotlinking” even mean? What feature and web server has this? I’ve never heard of this before till now 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Oh! 🤔 That’s really weird. Why does that error like that? 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com That screenshot you posted doesn’t load for me? Error 1011?

@tkanos@twtxt.net Nope. What is it? Why do I want to use it? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net do you think we need to think about any new kind of visualization for these large yarn threads? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Haha that’s what u do 🤣 Can’t stand going to see doctors 🙄 (Sorry, I mean GPs)

@bender@twtxt.net No the domain is black listed from this pod at the moment.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de You actually only really want the missing root Twt. You could just fetch this from any Yarn pod. There are scripts I built way back when yo do this 😅

@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 🤣

@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 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 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🤔
