@bender@twtxt.net Cute cat 🐱

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh this is coming back 403 Forbidden here btw 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Picture where? 🤔

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz No worries 😉

Yes you were right. It was technically a failure. It is very difficult to reconcile the differences between a distributed network and one that’s truly decentralized.

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it will if we continue to support the community on the ecosystem 🤣

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club @abucci@anthony.buc.ci – I’ve already spoken to @xuu@txt.sour.is on IRC about this, but the new SqliteCache backend I’m working on here, what are your thoughts regarding mgirations from old MemoryCache (which is now gone in the codebase in this branch). Do you care to migrate at all, or just let the pod re-fetch all feeds? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think we found a bug in the lextwt parser actually 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de I mean I have a camper trailer here out the front so we probably have plenty of room for a Yarn party in real life 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Actually @kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it is just Profile (top right) and then Muted.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Also very nice! Mf favourite has to be

@thecanine@twtxt.net I mean I can restore whatever anyone likes, the problem is the last backup I took was 4 months ago 😭 So I decided to start over (from scratch). Just let me know what you want and I’ll do it! I used the 4-month old backup to restore your account (by hand) and avatar at least 🤣

@thecanine@twtxt.net I’m so sorry I fucked things up 🥲 I hope you can trust I’ll try to do a better job of backups and data going forward 🤗

OH wait! 😳 Why am I storing the timestamp as created = 2025-04-07T19:59:51Z ?! 😱 @movq@www.uninformativ.de’s feed shows:

2025-04-07T19:59:51+00:00	I wonder if my current Linux installation will actually make it to 20 years:

    $ head -n 1 /var/log/pacman.log
    [2011-07-07 11:19] installed filesystem (2011.04-1)

It’s not toooo far into the future.

It would be crazy … 20 years without reinstalling once … phew. 🥴

Hmmmm

I’m so confused. None of this code has changed in yarnd at all. Hmmm 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Not according to the output of ./yarnc debug <your feed url>:

I’m thinking you may have edited. Lemme check actually… yarnd (on this branch) will now restore every version, and maybe I might have introduced a bit of a weird behavior there. One moment…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Apparently you wrote it :D The hash doesn’t lie? 🤣 https://twtxt.net/twt/znf6csa

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t think so? Why? 🤔

📣 I’m going to try and restore a few accounts tonight 🤞

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Looking 👀 Thanks! 🙏

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Fair enough! 😂 Also a good approach, change the environment 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Ack 🙇‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Good luck 🤞

@movq@www.uninformativ.de All lies 🤣

Definitely open to taking on users 👌I only have open registrations turned off because of spam accounts and my pod being the most popular amongst spammers 🤣

Fuck

Got anywhere in mind? 🧐

@xuu@txt.sour.iseapl.me@eapl.me This is actually pretty cool 😎

Can you confirm the fix temporarily in browser before I make the CSS change? I’m rubbish at CSS 🤣

Ahhh! It’s all Soren’s fault 🤣

    Replacing Pico.css with Simple.css (#990)

    Replacing pico.css with simple.css along with some small UI changes

@bender@twtxt.net Didn’t we fix this ages ago?! 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net Fair enough 👌

@bender@twtxt.net It does right 🤣 (no highlights though, will have to figure out how I refactor the display code to support that)

Search syntax appears to be:

hello
"hello world"
hello AND world
hello OR world
hello NOT world
"this is a phrase"

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m open to other suggestions 🤣 But hopefully both adding the additional prompt, not allowing it to enter shell history and removing from my shell history prevents me from doing such silly things in haste by pressing ^R and using fuzzy search which if you type fast you sometimes get wrong 😑

I had a day like that just today, in fact I’ve had one of those weeks, actually no wait, I’ve had one of those months! 🤯

FYI: I’ve re-opened up search for anonymous use. So things like this now work without having to have an account on this pod or login. 👌 #search #twtxt

Fixed.

Confirmed. Fix inbound.

Is it just me or is there a display bug for “Yarn”(s) that are duplicating the root twt? 🤔

This is an example of what I believe every SRE should master and whatever Post Incident Review (PIR) should focus on. Where did the system fail. What are the missing or incomplete Safety Controls.

Then I cleaned up my shell history of all of the invocations I ever made of dkv rm ... to make sure I never ever have this so easily accessible in my shell history (^R):

$ awk '
  /^#/ { ts = $0; next }
  /^dkv rm/ { next }
  { if (ts) print ts; ts=""; print }
' ~/.bash_history > ~/.bash_history.tmp && mv ~/.bash_history.tmp ~/.bash_history && history -r

So I re-write this shell alias that I used all the time alias dkv="docker rm" to be a much safer shell function:

dkv() {
  if [[ "$1" == "rm" && -n "$2" ]]; then
    read -r -p "Are you sure you want to delete volume '$2'? [Y/n] " confirm
    confirm=${confirm:-Y}
    if [[ "$confirm" =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then
      # Disable history
      set +o history

      # Delete the volume
      docker volume rm "$2"

      # Re-enable history
      set -o history
    else
      echo "Aborted."
    fi
  else
    docker volume "$@"
  fi
}

This weekend (as some of you may now) I accidently nuke this Pod’s entire data volume 🤦‍♂️ What a disastrous incident 🤣 I decided instead of trying to restore from a 4-month old backup (we’ll get into why I hadn’t been taking backups consistently later), that we’d start a fresh! 😅 Spring clean! 🧼 – Anyway… One of the things I realised was I was missing a very critical Safety Controls in my own ways of working… I’ve now rectified this…

@bender@twtxt.net Please remind me to fix this after I’m done with this cachet branch and it’s merged 🤞

Okay that’s a bug 😆

Does mentioning @prologic@twtxt.netdoesnm.p.psf.lt not work? 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net I know! 😂 Thankfully I think I fixed most problematic bugs 🤞

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Just keep them for a while.

@bender@twtxt.net Whoohoo! 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very nice 😊

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha yeah 🤣 And thanks I’ll take a look but honestly it’ll be fine 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nah it’s okay 🤣 It would only be a partial restore anyway 😭

I need to get Peering working again on this branch! That will drag in many Twts Twts I now no longer have 😭

At least I’ve fixed many bugs with the new SQLiteCache 🤣

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Sounds cool! 😎

@movq@www.uninformativ.de We’ll recover just fine right ? 😆 It’s only 4 months worth of posts 😅 Not like it’s the end of the world 😂

Oh well, let’s just start over! 🤣

Oh well. I’ve gone and done it again! This time I’ve lost 4 months of data because for some reason I’ve been busy and haven’t been taking backups of all the things I should be?! 🤔 Farrrrk 🤬

@bender@twtxt.net Sort of, still fixing bugs. I had so much trouble with this sqlite driver, that in the end I swithced it to another driver and so far so good 😊 fingers crossed 🤞

Okay trying SqliteCache again with a slight tweak. I might have to rethink the hard-coded LIMIT 50.

Going back to old MemoryCache for now and going to bed 🛌

@xuu@txt.sour.is I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to do this too 😂

:{:|:&};:

Wait! What’s going on?! 🧐

Business trips / Off-Sites can be rather exhausting 😴

@xuu@txt.sour.is Yeah looks like an edge case. Because of the way he announces his preferred nick in the feed the “Reply” button spits out @eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me for me, which then gets eaten as two mentions, probably matching twice against my following list?

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me I replied in the fork, but essentially there’s no reason we can’t support two different models here. We already do this anyway with numerous single-user, single hosted and managed feeds + a bunch of multi-user yarnd pods that form a “distributed network”.

One of the biggest gripes of the community with the way the threading model currently works with Twtxt v1.2 (https://twtxt.dev) is this notion of:

What is this hash?
What does it refer to?

Idea: Why can’t we all agree to implement a simple URI scheme where we host our Twtxt feeds?

That is, if you host your feed at https://example.com/twtxt.txt – Why can’t or could you not also host various JSON files (let’s agree on the spec of course) at https://example.com/twt/<hash> ? 🤔

That way we solve this problem in a truly decentralised way, rather than every relying on yarnd pods alone.

This is what I’ll be facing into in the next few hours and over the next couple of days! Cyclone Alfred 🌀

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I meant “detect” lol 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Clients could detest edits 🤞

Reading into the so-called CLEAN architecture reminds me of the work I did nearly two decades earlier called circuits hmmm 🧐

The people have spoken! 🥳 twtxt.dev shall have a new logo of:

Short summary of Project2025 and Trump’s plans for the US:

• Abolish the Federal Reserve
  Why? To end what is seen as an unelected, centralized body that exerts too much influence over the economy and monetary policy, replacing it with a more transparent, market-driven approach.

• Implement a national consumption tax
  Why? To replace the current federal income tax system, simplify taxation, and increase government revenue through a broader base that includes all consumers.

• Lower corporate tax rates
  Why? To promote business growth, increase investment, and stimulate job creation by reducing the financial burden on companies.

• Deregulate environmental policies
  Why? To reduce government intervention in the economy, particularly in energy and natural resources sectors, and to foster a more business-friendly environment.

• Restrict abortion access
  Why? To align with conservative pro-life values and overturn or limit abortion rights, seeking to restrict the practice at a federal level.

• Dismantle LGBTQ+ protections
  Why? To roll back protections viewed as promoting LGBTQ+ rights in areas like employment and education, in line with traditional family values.

• Eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs
  Why? To end policies that are seen as divisive and to promote a merit-based system that prioritizes individual achievements over group identity.

• Enforce stricter immigration policies, including mass deportations and detentions
  Why? To prioritize border security, reduce illegal immigration, and enforce existing laws more aggressively, as part of a broader strategy to safeguard U.S. sovereignty.

• Eliminate the Department of Education
  Why? To reduce federal control over education and shift responsibilities back to local governments and private sectors, arguing that education decisions should be made closer to the community level.

• Restructure the Department of Justice
  Why? To ensure the department aligns more closely with the administration’s priorities, potentially reducing its scope or focus on areas like civil rights in favor of law-and-order policies.

• Appoint political loyalists to key federal positions
  Why? To ensure that government agencies are headed by individuals who are committed to advancing the administration’s policies, and to reduce the influence of career bureaucrats.

• Develop training programs for appointees to execute reforms effectively
  Why? To ensure that political appointees are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement the proposed changes quickly and effectively.

• Provide a 180-day transition plan with immediate executive orders
  Why? To ensure that the incoming administration can swiftly implement its agenda and make major changes early in its term without delay.

Do y’all agree with any/all/some of these poliices? Hmmm 🤔

I got promoted today to try using Passkeys on Github.com. Fine 😅 I did that, but I discovered that when you use your Passkey to login, Chrome prompts you for your device’s password (i.e: The password you use to login to your macOS Desktop). Is that intentional? Kind of defeats the point no? I mean sure, now there’s no Password being transmitted, stored or presented to Github.com but still, all an attacker has to do is somehow be on my device and know my login password to my device right? Is that better or worse? 🤔
