@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Haha I’ve always loved my Apple Wireless Keyboard(s), very low travel-time for all the keys, love it 😍

@thecanine@twtxt.net Yes yes I do 🤣 I have done so for years 😅 Why?

@nwu1dm@twtxt.net Also if you chose to host your own feed (you’re welcome to keep using my pod, it’s there for use by all!), one thing to keep in mind as you either pick a client, figure out how to host your feed, etc is the HTTP User-Agent header that many clients will use to tell you they have fetched your feed. This is an important discovery aspect of Twtxt and we extended this as well to support multi-user pods like yarnd.

See: https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/useragentextension.html

At a bare minimum, you basically need to parse your web server access logs. There is a tool that @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wrote called useragent that helps with this.

@nwu1dm@twtxt.net In order for you to find others to follow and they to follow you, I’d recommend using the search.twtxt.net search engine. As you’ve already found your way to my pod (a multi-user client with a Web App, API and Mobile App) you’re already being followed by a few in the small but growing community 😅 – Find folks is well hard in a true “decentralised” ecosystem. But we’re here 😅 The best way to build your “network” is by interesting with others, you will find over time your network of followers will grow and change over time and what you follow will also 👌

feeds.twtxt.net is also a good course of “external feeds” (many of which are 1-way mirrors of Mastodon users or RSS feeds of websites, news, etc).

@nwu1dm@twtxt.net I think we’re talking about different things. If by “disaster” you mean reading your twtxt.txt (feed) file, then yes, you need to have a “decent” client. There are a few around, not just yarnd.

That being said, you can and are free to create your own client however you wish. jenny for example (which you can find on the landing page at https://yarn.social) treats every Twt as an Email. And then you can use something like mutt to navigate your feeds you follow, replies and your “timeline”.

Does this make sense? – I actually thought you were referring to some scalability problem, but I don’t think you were, you were talking about the UX? Today the best clients that exist are the ones that are listed on Yarn.social. If someone comes up with another client that’s just as compelling (good), we’ll be sure to list it there ! 👌

@nwu1dm@twtxt.net How will it be a disaster? 🤔

Cool my keyboard rest thingy arrive today. 👌

@marado@twtxt.net Is this a case of “The rise of the machines”? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net You’re probably right. We’ll do our best to explain how things work 🤞

Even as a user on my multi-user pod (twtxt.net) you are free to do what you want, and even host your feed in multiple places just as @marado@twtxt.net does, and I believe takes advantage of the yarnc sync tool and api 👌

@marado@twtxt.net Yeah to be honest I’m a bit confused by the OP’s question here really (sorry @nwu1dm@twtxt.net) – hence why I’m asking what the “use-case” is… – In case it’s not clear, @marado@twtxt.net is 100% correct, Twtxt and also Yarn.social (which uses Twtxt and some Extensions) are arguably (IMO) the only truly decentralised social ecosystem that I know of in existence today (bay maybe a few other obscure ones, do we count finger?! 😅)

@marado@twtxt.net Yeah sorry I have no idea, the only thing I’m aware of that can actually cause a missed 404 is when the deployment in my infra is updating, but I sort-of solved that by adding a fallback service (a sort of catch-all) that returns a 503 Service Unavailable and a maintenance page instead, so I’m not sure and looking at the deployment my pod hasn’t re-deployed in over 2 days so I don’t get it :/

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club

For the longest time, people were responsible for creating content for the web. And, in an ideal world, search engines were the tools to help you discover said content. Then money got involved, people started tweaking their content in order to win the SEO game and rank higher and higher, and quickly the web become the cesspool that it is now. You can’t trust the first 10 or 20 results for any given search because you constantly land on some garbage website. This is the state with just people writing content.

So very true 😢

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club I know right, I wish this nonsense would stop already. Just really, c’mon Putin, just give it up 🤦‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Did you guys buidl that snowman? ⛄️

I also have lots of Docker Compose / “Stacks” I can share if you like.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Nice ! 👌

@nwu1dm@twtxt.net What’s your use-case? 🤔

@nwu1dm@twtxt.net That would basically just be a read-only feed. And in that case, yeah it would act a bit like RSS feeds. In fact this is how we do RSS -> Twtxt via https://feeds.twtxt.net/

@marado@twtxt.net Can you try again? I’m not completely sure what could have happened there…

@marado@twtxt.net Hmmm really? Lemme test…

@antonio@twtxt.net I think it would actually. I can easily setup a Drone Runner on my Mac Studio for the purpose. I already have some custom runners for other purposes (bit hard to build iOS/Android apps in Docker Containers as Runners 😅)

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah I did that, and well I “guess so” 🤷‍♂️ a) I was unfamiliar with the UI and b) I’m not unfamiliar with the language 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Oh! 🤦‍♂️ Then I clearly did not understand whatever the UI was showing me as “code” 🤣 Ooops sorry!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Haha 😝

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I can’t work out the UI 🤦‍♂️ LInk to a sample? 🙏

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Bahahaha 🤣 It never realy stays at Zero 😅 You just have to get it to approach near zero 🤣

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Oh man that does sound nice 👌 Makes me wanna go out camping soon™ 🤞

Keep this up and I’ll have to do something about self-serving more and self-managing 😅 Only blocker to this is Auth/Authz. The idea would be to use existing pods as auth via its IndieAuth, I have been working on the other side of an IndieAuth library (client-side).

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Most welcome 🙇‍♂️

Please contribute ideas to @darch@neotxt.dk if you have a better suggestions, I admit I’m the last person that should have any say in UI/UX – a) I suck at it and b) I’m vision impaired 😅

@nmke-de@yarn.zn80.net Sorry I probably should have used less “forceful” words in that first bullet point 🤣 The 3rd bullet point is where I said I think Settings might go 🤔 In any case, my point was a drop-down with 3 items in it:

• Settings
  
• Profile
  
• Logout

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Good evening! 👋 My Friday is done! Just had some Table-Tennis 🏓 practise for an hour! 🥵

@darch@neotxt.dk I’m even thinking about a slide in from the right for filters…

You slide left to slide that panel in.

On the mobile app it works like this

@darch@neotxt.dk

before we make a dropdown we need to think how that should work on mobile

Good question I don’t actually know 🤣

Fix NBN in my Suburb - Elizabeth Watson-Brown MP – For all you aussies in and around the part of the world I live in and surrounds, including other states and jurisdictions, think about sending the NBN Minster an email and put pressure on NBN to get this god forsaken country up-to-speed with the rest of the modern world, with actual fibre to the premise! 🤣 #NBN #Sucks

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Done 👌 There seemed to be no logo for the scala weekly specifically, so I just picked the scale logo itself, hope this suits you 👌

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yes always 😅

@bender@twtxt.net That’s hilarious!

Cool! 👌

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Wow! 😱

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci hmmm speaking of which, did you want an avatar on that feed? 🤔 Looks like it wasn’t able to detect one to use 😢

@justamoment@twtxt.net Is this kind of what you also had in mind? ☝️

@darch@neotxt.dk This is starting to look like what I had in mind, and what I’ve seen that works quite well 👌 – If we:

• Get rid of the “Settings” button
  
• Put the name of the user instead of “Profile”
  
• Make it a pure CSS (no JS) ddrop-down that drops down into Profile, Settings and Logout
  

What do you think? 🤔

@darch@neotxt.dk I prefer this last one 👌

Also #activitypub based “social platforms” tend to form a “distributed network”, as opposed to a “decentralised” one like what we have here with Yarn.social / Twtxt 👌 (even if things are a little slower, by design…)
