@darren@twtxt.net Happy New Year to you too! 🥳

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Haha very nice! 👌 I just did nothing till 2am and went to bed 😅

@xuu Ahh I see 🤔 Never heard of that 😆 – Seriously though restic is great 👌

@xuu@txt.sour.is 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very nice indeed! 👌 What a way to end the year 🥳

Yhe germ “assholary” comes to mind for the former 😆

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Hmmm 🤔

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci LOL 🤣

From the Censorship: Wikipedia article:

Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or “inconvenient”.[2][3][4] Censorship can be conducted by governments,[5] private institutions and other controlling bodies.

Based on the original Roman definition, I feel like either a) we’ve changed the definition over time to suit us or b) we’ve gotten this oh so wrong

Hmmm 🤔

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Oh I didn’t see that bit 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Hmmm? 🤔

The censor (at any time, there were two) was a magistrate in ancient Rome who was responsible for maintaining the census, supervising public morality, and overseeing certain aspects of the government’s finances.[1]

But then:

A census is the procedure of systematically acquiring, recording and calculating information about the members of a given population.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I think we so easily misuse these terms and so much of the Internet and even social media (which isn’t particularly a new thing btw, Facebook™ didn’t invent it 🤦‍♂️) has become full of “noise”, “mistrust” and outright “garbage”. We have to use terminology a bit more precisely 😅 – You should see the shit that flies past my pod (just go checkout the Discover timeline at some random points throughout the week or day 🤣) – I don’t care 😅 I don’t have to follow things I don’t want to 😆 – But violate the abuse policy, that’s a different story 🤯

Bit over an hour and a half late, but Happy New Year 🥳 to all our New Zealand Twters 👌 (assuming there are any?)

restic · Backups done right! – In case no-one has used this wonderful tool restic yet, I can beyond a doubt assure you it is really quite fantastic 👌 #backups

Sorry about that, I’m working on a new backup strategy and well my backup script works just fine, but Docker Swarm is misbehaving for some weird reason 🤔 Stopped/Restarted containers don’t come back up properly and Swarm thinks the service is still down 🤦‍♂️

@tkanos@twtxt.net Oh? 🤔 Go on… 😅

@justamoment@twtxt.net Yeah, its a bit of a problem/blocker at the moment 😅 But don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll collectively sort it out (that’s what’s go great about open source afterall right? 😅

@mckinley@twtxt.net God only knows, but I just made it 6 deep 😅 Has anyone tried to build a visualisation tool for Yarns yet? 🤣

@justamoment@twtxt.net Me too 👌 But I’m presently blocked on Issue #647 😢

@mckinley@twtxt.net Agreed. Fortunately (somehow) I had the foresight to ensure that by default a pod is run with open registrations and even open profiles turned off 😅

@mckinley@twtxt.net Not that I ever would of course 🤗

Docker volume backup and restore with restic - HedgeDoc – Opinions/feedback welcome 👌 – I may publish this as a blog post if I get good feedback on this 🤞

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I should have said this in the first place, but the only reason I linked/shared it at all was this interesting tidbit at the end:

Both sides argue that faith and science are not compatible.
Isn’t this hypocritical?
Whether you believe in God or Simulation Theory, the real question is:

What’s the difference?

That’s all 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I regret sharing it now 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh gawd 😳 That sucks man 🤦‍♂️ Ajat is it with all these ducking monopolies 😢 Also why do people feel the pressure to fading into this shit?! 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net Fine fair point 😆

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Fair enough 😅 That being said, I do find some of his videos interesting, kind of reminds me a bit of Mythbusters in some ways…

Ooof I hit a nerve 😆 But interesting points 👌 I never said I bought into this… but found some of the last bits interesting where he sort of attacks both sides 🤣

The evidence we are living in a Simulation is everywhere. All you have to do is look. - YouTube – This has to be one of the most interesting episode of the “Why Files” I’ve seen so far… 👌 All about Simulation Theory… Watch it! 😆

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Hold up… Yet another financial exchange goes belly up and they declare they will be taking up to 55% of customer funds to balance the company’s balance books and liabilities? 😳 I could be wrong here, but I’m 99.99% sure this is called theft on a grand scale. This has to be highly illegal 🤦‍♂️

Plain text files for the win! 😆

@mckinley@twtxt.net I’d really like to see if we can make Git + Twtxt work 😆

That is, fully decentralized issues, patches and reviews and of course code!

@xuu Yes! You can change this back in Swttings 👌

@mckinley@twtxt.net Srill I have to try 😆

@anth@a.9srv.net Yes actually, we have been looking at that recently. Once upon a time I came up with my own hacky (indieweb / git / go inspired) way of doing something similar, but I think yarnd instances could have builtin support for WebFinger pretty easily (server-side and client lookups and expansion).

@mckinley@twtxt.net Thanks! 🙏

Open Letter to Apple™ 💌

Dear Apple 🍏

Whenever I purchase a new Apple™ device, whether it be an iPad, iPhone or MacBook or Mac. I always go out of my way to turn off 99% of all iCloud™ services. The only ones I leave on at all are “Find My”.

For the love of god and all that is good. Please respect my decisions and privacy and stop turning things back on whenever I upgrade or purchase new devices. Its getting really fucking annoying, as-if, you (the company) have no regard for user decisions.

Thank you kindly! 🙏

James Mills / prologic

PS: I’m stuck with Apple™ due to my vision impairment and Apple™ still being the best for accessibility, but please stop trying to force users into using iCloud™ services!

@mckinley@twtxt.net Thanks! 🙏

@tkanos@twtxt.net Ahh yes. And after reviewing, I believe the correct format anda git incarnation would be:

$ git --no-pager log --all --reverse --date=format:'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ' --format=format:'%cd%x09%s' > twtxt.txt

This produces correct output 👌

OTOH if we continued to abstract out more of yarnd’s codebase, in theory we could basically have a social Git forge/hosting solution that basically uses Twtxt everywhere, including Profiles for Orgs/Users (think Twtxt feed preamble/metadata) and you could follow orgs and users as well as repo logs (or should that be a specialised feed like repo events taht contain things like commit events, merge-request events, etc?)

I think if we did support multi-user / multi-org, it would have to be kept deliberately rather simple. That is, it acts basically like a group of repositories and nothing more. Access tokens/keys would still be stored in (for example) .git/authorized_keys or .git/authorized_tokens

@mckinley@twtxt.net That’s a great question actually. Should we go for multi-user and org/user? Or keep it simple? 🤔 What are you thinking here? 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net Hmmm 🤔 @xuu@txt.sour.is Does the lextwt parser not recognize an @-mention with a comma terminating it? 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net Yup that’s a great idea, I think we’ve discussed this once before in another context. I think this would be a great way to “follow” projects and their git repos.

Was it not before? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I’m actually not sure what that feature even does 😆🤦‍♂️

No nothing has changed. I’m just very familiar with themm 😆

@darch@neotxt.dk Looks good 👌

inet256/inet256: Identity Based Network API with 256-Bit Addresses – interesting project 🤔

@justamoment@twtxt.net For now 😅
