@darch@neotxt.dk Ahh okay! 👌 Do we need a dedicated page for that? 🤔

@xuu does this mean you got it working? 😱

@eaplmx@twtxt.net I think “platform” in our industry is often taken to be some centralised service. I think that’s why I prefer to call what we’re building together an ecosystem 😅 I dunno 🤷‍♂️ I could be wrong!

So… Just out of curiosity (again), back of paper napkin math. Based on Vultr pricing, running my infra in the “Cloud”™ would cost me upwards of $1300 per month. That’s about ~10x more than my current power bill for my entire household 😅 (10 VMs of around ~4 vCPUS and 4-6GB of RAM each + 10TB of storage on the NAS)

And… As y’all know, I’m a big promoter of Self Hosted software, services and running shit™ on your own infra 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci You are right, its not just economics that are and have been driving many folks and companies to the so-called proverbial “Cloud”™ – What is it then? Convenience? Scale? Flexibility? All these points in my experience are kind of bullshit. Part of me thinks we need to go back to our root and rethink how we’ve evolved software and services over the years. It shouldn’t ever cost hundreds of thousands to run basically what amounts to “project management” software.

There’s sin infamous guy that proved this once where he ran something that scaled to stupid amounts of scale on a few bucks a month. I forget what the site/service was though… Anyone? 🤔

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Hmm, no it’s there now ==> https://anthony.buc.ci/conv/lbokgna

Do you follow the Slashdot feed at all? If not, then it may take some time for your pod to fetch the root twt from mine, pods actually try to find the root twt from its peers at random.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You should never remove feeds from a client 🤣 I’ve leanred over the years, that sometimes they come back 🤣

Such an amazing TV series, Voyager 👌

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Most of the history behind Yarn.social can be found on the About Yarn.social page – But essentially we’re building an ecosystem, not a “platform” as you mentioned. yarnd the software behind what we call Yarn.social pods, is just one implementation of the Twtxt1 spec and Extensions2 – Then there are other tools3 and services4 we’ve built up over time and probably more to come… (just some examples)

@darch@neotxt.dk The “How to Follow…” isn’t working yet right? 🤔

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Ewww 💩

@eaplmx@twtxt.net self hosted net

We should support this, I think

@bender@twtxt.net we did say we would support this right

Hmmmm this story from Basemap and 37Signals in the cost of Cloud is really interesting to me. When I left Facebook™ I left with an internal post asking and discussions:

At what point or what scale does “Cloud” become too expensive.

The answer to this question may vary depending on your use-case / needs; but even at small-scale like running a home lab / mini dc like I do, the cost of cloud is insane (mostly in storage for me, but the compute would be kind of nuts too).

Remember kids:

Cloud™ is not cheaper.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Ahh I see. Hmmm I’ll have a re-read of the About page later…

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Hmmm is this music created/played by humans or machine? 🤔 I’m not sure I like it 😅

@eaplmx@twtxt.net Nice! 👌

@GopherChat@magical.fish No but, since you publish these messages to Twtxt we are all here 😆

@justamoment@twtxt.net Ahh I see 🤔

@justamoment@twtxt.net Hmmm 🤔

@justamoment@twtxt.net sounds like a scam call 😆

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Interesting 😆

@mckinley@twtxt.net Yeah somehow this keeps happening for “some” folks. But I’ve never seen it myself 😢

You able to jump on IRC at some point? 🤔

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk Got it thank you! 👌

@xuu Hmmm

Can’t repro here 🤔

Test

@xuu Hmmm check your cookies?

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci No worries! 👌

Your data. Your privacy. In your control. #SelfHosted

@cringe@git.sr.ht They’re called Twts or Yarns 🤣

@xazin@twtxt.net Yeah I think I know why… I removed that field from the API on my pod, we decided for privacy reasons to remove that. We should probably fix the App to match though 🤣 (if only I could rebuild it).

@xazin@twtxt.net Oh hey! 👋 Welcome! 🤗

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very lovely 👌

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Also this guys (Alexandru Nedelcu) is spot on 👌

#DeleteTwitter #JoinYarn 🤣

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci git pull, make server and add the following to your enabled features:

webfinger
filter_and_lists

Hopefully soon™ we’ll cut a release 🤞 Still a few issues left 😅

@marado@twtxt.net I signed it too 👌

@scounty@twtxt.net Can’t tell if this is spam or not 🤔

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I have to admit, coming from CVS, then Subversion (SVN) then Mercurial (hg) and finally Git (git), I actually kind of agree with some of the points there from the SQLIte author… – That being said, I’m not switching from using Git anytime soon, as I’ve gotten so used to it. Maybe one day I’ll write my own version control system 🤣 (kidding, or am? 🤔)

@kdx@kdx.re This is really cool and funky man! And I can buy and download in FLAC?!😱

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah corrupt for sure

https://sourcehut.org/blog/2023-01-09-gomodulemirror/ – This is the problem when you work for a corporation. You are almost never incentivized to do the right thing 🤦‍♂️ Slack Google 😆

@bender@twtxt.net No worries 🤗

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wow! 😳 That’s still pretty cool though and nice astrophotographers 👌

@marado@twtxt.net Cool! 👌

Also how does a disk die in a virtual machine?! 🤔😆
