Keep in mind it’s early still, but a lot of things works and I use it all the time my self..

Threads is following Twitter by getting rate limits and all that good stuff.. hahaha

Kids has gone to bed, watching some youtube before they fall a sleep, Marlyn is playing PUBG, husky is sleeping on the couch after a long late evening walk, and I’m sitting on the couch listening to podcasts and just chilling. Nice way to end this Monday.

Finally the rain and wind stopped, now we’ll have nice weather for the rest of the week it seems. Happy to see that! :)

House Republicans Accidentally Released a Trove of Damning Covid Documents
New documents show a scientist calling a lab leak “highly likely” — after drafting a paper claiming the opposite.

Portioned out some raw meat for the dog, we usually buy it as frozen meatballs, but they have bigger frozen sauages of raw meat that you can buy, more meat for less price. So decided to go for that now, so got my axe and made it into daily portions.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very cool! Amazing animal!

Just compiled the Yarn desktop client on OpenSuse, was no issues getting it to run there, I love how portable it is. I initially wanted to run OpenBSD on this laptop, but it would not detect wifi, which is a dealbreaker for me, so I installed OpenSuse tumbleweed instead, and will run OpenBSD in a VM and try from there instead.

Yeah, that would be nice! At least when you think about the way things are going these days..

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net OpenBSD is a great OS! I really do like it, especially their ports system, very easy to compile stuff from source on any supported platforms.

no wonder he cut off API access and added rate limit.

why am I not surprised?… https://uk.pcmag.com/ai/147757/elon-musk-will-train-his-ai-project-using-your-tweets

Enjoy the day everyone! :)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thank you! :)

vacation starts now :)

@prologic@twtxt.net haha, money goes out fast. but its nice too see some savings grow a bit.

Today one crypto I invested in went up over 70%, the other 20%. The bank I have fucks us over with the current economy, and earns record amounts for themselves. This is why I put savings in crypto and not in the bank. Im not trying to come across as a cryptobro or anything like that with this post (I rarely write about it).

@linux_gizmos@feeds.twtxt.net very nice! I think I have to get this one!

It’s the same type of antenna on both buildings, all though one is a actual building, and the other is just the antenna with a smaller building under the mesh structure.
I often fly flightsims, its my hobby, so I often work with waypoints, so I now just looked up the waypoint to find it’s information, to do that I looked up the closes airport, then looked around until I found the waypoint:
https://opennav.com/navaid/KR/SEL/ANYANG

So would they really place a navaid on a building that contains a UFO? I do not think so.
Would a UFO crash that close to Seoul without a since photo or video? I do not think so either.

Came across a twitter post claiming that there is a UFO in a building, meaning the ufo crashed, and then the building was built to cover it.

The tweets are here:
https://twitter.com/realityseaker/status/1677744254918049794
and here:
https://twitter.com/UAPodcast850/status/1678855434705182721

I wish it was true, but I have doubts about it.
It’s easy enough to find the building on google maps:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/37%C2%B024’48.5%22N+126%C2%B055’44.4%22E/@37.4134617,126.9264272,572m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d37.4134617!4d126.9290021!5m1!1e4?entry=ttu

And if you zoom out you see that it’s not even remote. So a UFO crash here without any pictures \ videos is extremely unlikely.

Also, the antenna on the roof got me thinking, I’ve seen that before, and that is where I often walk our dog, see here:

https://www.google.com/maps/@58.0845749,7.9084282,63m/data=!3m1!1e3!5m1!1e4?entry=ttu

@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net looks really good!

I understand your thoughts on this, but I would not call it a failure - because you learned a lot from it, and lots of things worked as well.
And there are alternatives for those who needs\wants activitypub, so I think also yarn\twtxt benefits from you focusing on that instead of dealing with the frustrations of activitypub integration. And maybe it’ll feel a bit better to put that on the backburner? :)

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net Finally.

my next goal is to save up to buy this one. its been my dream since we got our dog.

@prologic@twtxt.net no worries :) and as you know I appreciate the work you put into it!

I had issues with the current activitypub implementation here on yarn (people could not follow me properly) and I cannot see their posts and stuff like that, so I decided to host activitypub separate from here.
So I will turn it off here - and use this site has as before - but without activitypub turned on, and then do all my activitypub stuff over on that other service.
I can be added through: @stigatle@activitypub.stigatle.no
This does not affect the development of the desktop client, I will still work on that, I’m here to stay :) I just need a way to follow the others properly on the other services..

I did not want to join mastodon, and I did not want something complex to host, so I decided to set up Snac2 - https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2 . It’s super lightweight, easy to set up, and worked out of the box for what I was looking for.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de wow, very nice!

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net *iphones

so. if you join threads (meta’s new twitter clone) - then you cannot leave without nuking your instagram..

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net dystopian. get ophones, use lockdown mode.

how are you all doing today?

had a nice walk today.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org not much there anyways, and if it provides jobs and crestes a industry then thats good. also miningrules are strict in Norway, so its better then getting it from some 3rd world country with few regulations etc.

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net nice! if it helps people - then go for it!

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net oh wow!

when the kids are outside he likes to check on them :)

@shamanix@mastodon.gamedev.place - do you see this? (testing from my end)..

@prologic@twtxt.net hey! how are you today?

This whole twitter thing got me motivated to code on the yarn desktop client.
Currently working on adding support for links in the post, so that you can open and view the links that are in the statuses. It’s a bit tricky to do - since I do not have ‘clickable links’ in the status label. So for now I added a dropdown that has all the links that are in a post, you can then select a link and then open it.
It’s not ideal, but I do it this way now so that I got all the parts I need. I will also check more into how I can add links directly on the status label.

aha, this explains the current twitter issues.

twitter is so shit right now. down all day for me, the ratelimit bug.

Patrick has his birthday today! 9 years today! so today we are celebrating :) Happy birthday Patrick!

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net that is crazy if they do that.

my stress level has gone down 10x today. been stressed a lot lately, but now Im much better. nothing has been wrong or anything øike that, just been stressed out. and now its only two weeks until I start my 4 week vacation, that will be super nice.

@wincent@twtxt.net I had one of those blade servers some years back, I could not have it in my house, crazy noise level on those. I almost build a box for it outside the house, haha.

@wincent@twtxt.net No, they are not noisy. I have one of these my self as well, and it does not make much noise (can sleep in the same room). They are not like rack servers with turbo fans, hehe.
