@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hope you get some time to relax :)

Gonna code a bit tonight. Clean up the image code, then I will rewrite some of the code that uses libcurl, make a more generic function that I use in the calls, instead of many functions. That will be nice.

@prologic@twtxt.net They have some markdown support that you can use, but I have not looked into that yet, I might check on that for clickable links in label.
I now just get all the attached links in each post, check for direct links to images, download them and show them as in the screenshot.

Got a really nice chain from my stepdad today, gonna rig it up in the garden so that the dog can be there as much as he wants without me worrying about him jumping the fence.

Working on showing attached images in the desktop client, it worked on first try.
Now I need to fix the scale and alignment - but cool that it works already!

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah, I keep my account too - do not want to get rid of it, but I do not post much anymore there at all, just retweet stuff I find interresting. Also I’m so boring there that I get almost no followers and such, never got any traction there, even though I’ve been there since 2008. I write more here then there, and get more response here as well.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Been thinking about leaving twitter recently, so much drama there. But I have not decided yet. It’s still a bit useful for me for getting my tech related news stuff and things like that, so I cannot get my self to leave yet.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah, that seems to be the case :)

Hm, unusually quiet here today - started to wonder if something was locked up on my server.

@prologic@twtxt.net The good thing here at least is that you get back on your taxes if you loose money, so that helps a bit, and if you buy mining gear you can write some of the cost up as well etc. So it’s a pretty nice that they have done it that way here. The only downside is what I mentioned already - the complexity of filing it all.

@prologic@twtxt.net The one I actually use for something is Monero. I also mine it (asic resistant, mined with cpu). The others I just put some savings in every month. The whole pyramid scheme thing - I do not think much about honestly. Crypto is here to stay, won’t go away. And for me it’s better then stocks because I know nothing about stocks and such. I do not put much into it. I also had some NFT stuff that I minted - which I sold for 10x the price later on, but honestly - last year I gained as much as I lost, so it evened out to almost 0.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah. Everything else on my taxes are already folled in. For crypto you need to add each and every transaction. The online service I use has api to each major exchange, pulls the data and crunches the numbers for you though. The problems start when you use decentralised exchanges or unsupported wallets etc. Took some hours to sort out on my end. But now I do not have to worry about it. 😀

Had to add all my crypto to my taxes, damn that is a painful process. There are online services that helps with that part, so I use that to help. but I have transactions all over the place, so it takes a lot of time. But now it’s done for this years tax report :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Woho! Good to hear!

How are you all doing tonight?

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s been ruunning smooth sll night/day now.

@prologic@twtxt.net ooofff. Hope you get through it quick.

I do not like that they snoop around here. But I’m not surprised.

“Nordic media reveals Russia’s secret operations in waters around their states”

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/04/19/7398468/

@prologic@twtxt.net It did not crash today (after it did earlier today), I now compiled and updated to latest, I’ll let you know if it happens again.

Does this help?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=233356

@prologic@twtxt.net I will try and get that tonight. (Currently at work).

Getting a very frequent crash in yarn. Have to restart it several times a day now. Ill pull down and compile latest later today and see if that helps.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net good night! Sleep well!

Time to get some sleep! Good night to you all!

@shreyan@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net I like the way he did that interview, that way they cannot warp what’s being said etc.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net no need to feel dumb. This is why testing is nice! That being said - ill make a fix for that too :) this is why I appreciate you taking the time to test, because we have now found many things to improve already 😀

@funbreaker@twtxt.net I tested now against twtxt with a account I created -it segfaulted if you had a / at the end of the server url.. My bad.. works if you remove the slash. I will fix it in the client so that it removes the slash if it’s in the server url.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net Also, did you compile rapidjson from source? Or install the package with your OS? I built the latest version and installed that - if the problem continues now after I fixed the error on my end - then that might be the cause.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net I have pushed a fix now to git, I now got rid of the error when I use it on my end. I will create a test account on twtxt later tonight (after dinner and all that) if needed. If you test the latest on your end before that - let me know :) And thanks for your patience.

15 degrees + today, feels like summer. Gonna chill all day outside today and enjoy the nice weather :)

@prologic@twtxt.net no, its on my end.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net seems to be related to the way the timeline array is done. I will rewrite that part. I’ll start tomorrow.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net Ok, I saw that error here now as well - but it does not crash. I have put it in the issue tracker, I will fix it and let you know once I’ve tracked it down.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net thank you!

@prologic@twtxt.net haha yeah. I had a good laugh from that.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org thanks again! I’ll get those things sorted.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net Could you pull the latest code and rebuild? I have added SSL verification now.
If it still fails I’ll make a twtxt account and look into it more.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net it seems like the ssl verification works now, I enabled it - but also added another option as well that I now saw in the docs, and now it did not fail on my end (which it did before). I will add a ‘enable ssl verification’ checkbox (checked by default) so that those who do not need or want it for testing and such can disable it if they want.

Nice morning walk today.

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net thank you, found that as well. Had a read, and well.. behavior like that is not easy to deal with.

@prologic@twtxt.net I get ‘forbidden’ on that link.

Huh? Not sure what you are referring to here to be honest.

@prologic@twtxt.net yes I will test it :) cloudflare is something I do not have on my end, so I never thought of that, so glad you mention that as a potential issue to solve. Ill check on it.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net yeah, that can be a issue. I will check some of these things tomorrow :)

@funbreaker@twtxt.net okay, so something goes wrong in the response you get. Hm. I see you use twtxt, ill check against there tomorrow and see if I can find the issue (midnight here now). Also ill work on better error output as well when I find the problem.
Thank you for testing!

@funbreaker@twtxt.net cool! Can you launch through terminal and check if it outputs the problem?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Also - I agree with the rest of what you say. I just have a habit of making stuff work, then improve, but what you mention is somethig I need to be better at doing from the start, so I’m glad you mention these things. Also - the TLS check - it refused to connect if I have it enabled, and from what I saw online you need a copy of the servers cert locally to have that enabled, that’s at least what I found when I looked into it, but it’s worth a second look for sure. Pizza was great today, i’m stuffed! :)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org valid points and noted. 😀
It will improve shortly. I had not thought about quotes in password, so that was a nice catch that needs to be fixed.

Baking pizza tonight! Pepperoni pizza, yummy!

If anyone of you pulls the code and compiles it - then please let me know :)

The code for the desktop client is now public here: https://github.com/stig-atle/YarnDesktopClient , I will create tickets for the known things I need to fix and such later today.

@prologic@twtxt.net I will give it a shot today, that and to show attached images in the status would be great to have. I just need to figure out the curl for posting image, then the rest would be easy to implement :) I would use that a lot since I often post photos and such.

@prologic@twtxt.net hehe, yeah! That’s the way to get things done - use it daily, fix everything that needs to be fixed :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Great! Thank you!

@prologic@twtxt.net By the way - can I call my application ‘Yarn desktop client’? Is that OK with you? Or do you want it to have another name - but then have ‘a desktop client for yarn’ as information in readme etc?

I will release the sourcecode for the desktop client tonight. I will put it on github (sorry to anyone who prefer other places), but the reason is that I do not want my own git to be open for public. So I’ll put it on github where I have all my other public projects. I have to write the readme, then add some info on the login page (link to source etc), then it’s ready to release with the current features. I then hope others will give it a try and use it if they want :) I also have many other features I need to implement, but all the main features that makes it usable has been implemented, so I’m very pleased with it (And I use it all the time now).

@prologic@twtxt.net That sounds great! I’m looking forward to doing that too here! We also go to the local lakes and such when it gets warm enough! Always nice to spend time in the water :)

Good morning to you all! Started my day by walking about 5km around a lake that’s next to the ocean, a really nice place to walk. It rains today, so not many people out (which I like). So now the dog is sleeping on the sofa. My daughter went to a friend for a visit today, and my son is just chilling and watching youtube. So it’s a nice chill start to this Saturday :) Hope you all have a great day!

Got up before 7 this morning, now it’s 14,5 hours later - and I finally got to sit down for the first time today. Been a busy day, but a good one. Now it’s time to relax a bit (code on the desktop client) and then relax for a bit. Tomorrow the weather is going to suck, but I’ll still go for the usual weekend hikes with the dog, trying to plan a new place to walk tomorrow.

Good morning, wish you all a nice Friday!

@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net nice! I want to upgrade on my x200 soon.

That reminds me about something, I want to test if I can compile my desktop client on my mangopi riscv board with debian. That would be cool to run on it.

“PineTab2 and PineTab-V tablets available for pre-order for $159 and up with a choice of ARM or RISC-V chips”

https://liliputing.com/pinetab2-and-pinetab-v-tablets-available-for-pre-order-for-159-and-up-with-a-choice-of-arm-or-risc-v-chips/

Image

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net yay!

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club indeed, that is how I learned about that machine :)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I love ‘exotic’ computers, especially riscv. But one of the most prized computers I have is the Lemote Yeeloong, Loongson mipsel laptop - http://web.archive.org/web/20151220055337/http://www.lemote.com:80/en/products/Notebook/2010/0310/112.html , very cool machine, I cannot part with that one, gonna put in in my coffin when I die. Got a hold of it about 10 years ago, cost a lot, but it was worth it. I run openbsd on it, and have to compile everything on it. took over 2 weeks to compile sylpheed email client on it LOL.

https://hackaday.com/2023/04/11/a-miniature-mnt-for-every-pocket/

I would love to have one of these..

Image

@adi@twtxt.net Nothing really, I tried it in a VM a long time ago, never got to install it on HW, might give it a try again soon (I enjoy to set up my machines with various OS’es and test them etc).

@adi@twtxt.net Dragonfly BSD - that is one OS I have never run properly before - but I’ve always wanted too. Also not often at all I see that OS being mentioned ‘in the wild’.

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s mostly ready now I feel, got a lot done, so I’ll focus on getting it out there this week, A bit busy the next days, but I’m sure I’ll find time to get it uploaded and hosted on my VPS so that others can use it as well.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, good point. I will see if I can selfhost it in a good way, I’ll think about it for the next days, I’ll also create a subdomain on my website where I can put some info and git links and what not, nice to have a info page to link back to from the application.

@prologic@twtxt.net thank you 😀

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thank you! Yeah I fixed that now, short statuses got shifted, but that has been fixed. :)

I added all the timelines, so now you can switch between ‘discover’, ‘timeline’ and mentions from the drop down menu :)

Image

Progress - progress, love it when things fall into place.

If you hit ‘reply’ on a post it fills in the mentions as well in the status entry box.

Image

So now it looks like this:

Image

One thing I need to also fix - is the way a reply is done, I need it to add the mentions as well, so that you can reply to a person more easily, instead of just the thread.

Added refresh of the timeline, currently a button that you press to do so, I will move it to a timed function shortly.. But nice to get something added tonight.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org We use gitlab daily at work. but for my own projects I use gogs. I have some scripts that I used for a gnusocial client that I maintained (before leaving gnusocial). I’ll see if I can adapt that and make deb files for the yarn client - I mostly use debian \ Trisquel my self, so I also like .deb as well.

@prologic@twtxt.net I agree with you points, and I feel the same.
I currently run a gogs instance on my webserver, I’m putting my source there for now.
Currently registrations are disabled and such, I’m the only user, that is the main issue I think - people need to register to submit a change. and I do not want people to register on my own git instance either, so I have to think about it a bit.

Also - I would like to know where you all like to have git hosted..
Github? Some other place? Do you mind self-hosted git servers? (I currently have my own)..
What do you all prefer? Do you mind compiling software from source if instructions are clear and easy? Or do you prefer to download a released binary and run that?

I also later on (as soon as it’s in usable state) want to make flatpack, appimage as well, that is something I have not done before - but I want to set that up as well.

Moving my source to git today, I have just developed on a local copy until today.
I needed to move it before going too crazy with it. Starting the work on the timeline that I’ve mentioned.
Yesterday I ran out of time, but today I have some free time to work on things. Very pleased with the software already, I know I’ll use it all the time. So today I will work on refreshing the timeline, and then fix so that it’s a bit smarter then now, the class that holds the statuses will also contain the GUI elements for each status, that way I can more easily append new statuses into the timeline - instead of grabbing the whole timeline and rebuild all it’s gui each time it refreshes. I know what to do - so I do not expect it to take too long to fix.

@prologic@twtxt.net They mention them at 2.5 admins podcast all the time, seems pretty good. I have not used it though. But all I hear there is positive things.

Need to rework the timeline a bit, I want it to append new statuses after refresh, right now it fetches the whole timeline and just inserts it as a whole. So I’ll work on that alongside the refresh functionality.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sounds like a really nice day!

We went on a drive today, to another city, spent time at the seaside, eating ice-cream , walked the dog together, spent time on the playgrounds, weather was fantastic too, so was a really nice day today!

Going out for a hike with the dog. Then I’ll code a bit later today.
Want to fix the timeline refresh, and then create one timeline for each timeline, and buttons to switch between them.

So glad I switched to GTK4, so much easier to work with then FLTK.

Time for a new screenshot :)

Image

Reply button seems to work!

First test post from GTK UI!

@chunkimo@twtxt.net thank you! Very pleased with it. I finally have vacation, got up early, took our dog for a long walk this morning, so now I can code a bit. I’ll complete the status entry gui today, so that I can post statuses, after that I need to add a tomer for refreshing timeline, and then some way to store some settings.

@prologic@twtxt.net Refurbished thinkpad from ebay is also a good option.

@chunkimo@twtxt.net Welcome!

Got the gui to scale properly with the window now, was easy to fix… Looks much better already!

Image

The GTK gui client is coming along nicely.
Added avatar support, and reply button.
It’s pretty obvious that the GUI does not scale properly yet, but I’ll worry about that once the last feature is added. Now I’m only missing the ‘post status’ gui, I need to think a bit about how I want that implemented.
Anyways - here’s the latest screenshot..

Image

Im going to fall a sleep standing up tonight it feels like. Holy shit I’m tired today. Just one more day then it’s much needed vacation time.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net No worries, I’m just glad to see that someone likes what I spend my time on.
Always fun to make something that someone else finds useful. I’ll definitely get it into a usable state as soon as possible.

@funbreaker@yn.vern.cc Hi! I have attached the current screenshot, as you see it’s not done yet, I need to add some things, but a lot of work is already done.
I will fix the remaining things and try to make it usable enough this week so that I can upload the source.
Need to add the remaining reply button, image loading and width of the text etc first.
I had that in the FLTK client, so I just need to add it to this new GTK gui.

Image

Here is what I had with FLTK
https://yarn.stigatle.no/twt/4nuoc7q

I did not have time to work on those things today, ran out of time. But I’ll resume tomorrow.

Got some good progress on the GTK gui today, got the timeline to work!
Took some time to figure out how the UI layout stuff works, but it looks good now.
I will add the avatars next.

The way it is right now - I got this up and running in a couple of hours, instead of ‘days’ with FLTK.
So I’m glad I made the decision to switch to GTK,
Right now I’m doing all development on Trisquel OS, windows version will come later on.

Also - since I thought about the possibility that I wanted to switch early in the process the code that does all the work is UI independent, meaning this was easy to do. +1 for planning ahead.. :)
I will post a screenshot of the new UI soon, once it’s a bit polished.
