In-reply-to » Had a amazing bike ride with the dog today, the weather is a bit cold today (15c). Been wanting to find a gravel road that I can use, without meeting too many others. And today I found that. Got his pulling harness on, got my bike out of the basement, and headed out.

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

In-reply-to » Does anyone know what the differences between HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are? 🤔

@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🤔

In-reply-to » Does anyone know what the differences between HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are? 🤔

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

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

In-reply-to » Just realized that phone came with a bunch of “hidden” Meta/Facebook services pre-installed and they cannot be uninstalled, so I guess me trying to “fight” WhatsApp is pointless anyway. 🤪

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.

@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.

In-reply-to » Lyse you are completely correct. I run the local host website as a thin webpage right next to the NotePad 2 text editor, and I edit the webpage as I go along, while the web server shows you how it looks like on the Local Internet. That way I save dozens of editing mistakes when it finally become hosted on the grand Internet, plus I have an exact copy the my website at all times, should I lose something from the hosted Internet.

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

@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.

In-reply-to » Media Finally fixed so that usernames mentioned in a post shows up as @user , and not with brackets and twtxt file url, looks so much better now! One thing I want to focus on next - is handling replies to a status, that will make it much easier to follow a conversation.

@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 🙄

In-reply-to » It seems silly to me that we humans create thermal energy with coal, convert the thermal energy to mechanical energy with steam turbines, convert the mechanical energy to electrical energy with generators, and convert the electrical energy back into thermal energy with glass-top stoves and electric heaters.

@xuu 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 🔥

In-reply-to » @bender Haha, no worries. I do like that you enjoyed your real life and not wasted it online. :-)

@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.

@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…”
