In-reply-to » When you try to change a file that’s currently running, it used to say text file busy. Example:

I guess the question now becomes;

Why does it cause the running process to crash?

@asquare@asquare.srht.site We’ve collectively as a community (welcome to the community too! 🥳) had a many-week, multi-thread debate over this. It all boils down to Content Addressing vs. Location Addressing and the benefits, pros/cons of each approach. Ultimately though threads in Twtxt take advantage of a convention we formalized as the Twt Subject. This is combined with a Location-based Addressing, the Twt Hash extension. In the end we are likely to stay with this approach, but fix the parameters we use and truction.

The V: pattern itself is quite good because you can do quite a lot of powerful things with selected text.

For example: ggV}:s/^/ -/ will insert a - at the beginning of every line turning your bunch of lines into a Markdown list of items 😅

In-reply-to » (#olheqvq) @aelaraji … this made me realize that I don’t really know anymore which commands I use. It’s all muscle memory by now. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same here 🤣 My fingers know everything, my brain does not 😅 Same with passwords too, at least the important ones, master password, passwords for my machine(s) and work laptop. Don’t ever try to interrogate me for them, only my fingers know 🤣

@asquare@asquare.srht.site And actually…

does a one-off fetch of any feed @-mentioned by a pod member

What is true here is if someone visits your “profile” on a pod whilst logged, it, yes yarnd fetches it in the background if it wasn’t already cached, as a “once off”. This is true.

In-reply-to » @asquare (I wonder if that will ever show up without me mentioning you. 😅)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh yes, that is probably the case 🤣 To be fair I don’t think too much about how things enter my cache, I just assume it’s either someone on my pod following them or whatever.

I didn’t follow at first because:

asquare may not follow you

Which probably means @asquare is probably using a client that doesn’t publicise its user agent or has it turned off? 🤔

In-reply-to » The WordPress ecosystem has lost its mind… - YouTube 👈 This is a pretty good summary of how fucked up the Wordpress ecosystem is now thanks to Mat 🤦‍♂️ (not that I've ever used Wordpress uggh 💩)

@bender@twtxt.net Fair enough 🤣 To be honest, I don’t really have an opinion either way, I think what he’s done is a bit “silly” of course, but I dunno. I’ve never. been invested in Wordpress as I said. I’d like to think I’d behave much better than Mat in a similar circumstance, but then again I’m not lucky? enough to be in that position (stink’n rich and wealthy), so who knows 😅

If you mean, remote code execution, none of these devices are remotely, even connected to anything that resembles any kind of network connectivity.

The only advantage of the Renogy over the KickAss/ITech models is it has Bluetooth monitoring and an App capabilities so you can check the state of the battery/charging/etc from your phone.

In-reply-to » @anth (I’m also a bit confused by the UTF-8 topic. I thought that the original twtxt spec has always mandated UTF-8 for the content. Why’s that an issue now? 😅 Granted, my client also got this wrong in the past, but it has been fixed ~3 years ago.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah this is why thin @anth@a.9srv.net is that and that any v2 spec we get around to actually publishing with far better quality than the bullshit half-baked attempt I tried to 🤣; should just mandate utf-8 period. Just assume it to be true, there is no other content encoding we should ever support 😅
