@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz DIDN’T WORK

test

wait i just realized this pod’s time zone is not my time zone hold on lol

should put together my new pi and set up the DIY KVM thing i’m doing but ehhh tired

should get back to reading doctorow’s internet con, it’s so good

thanks to prologic i now know i can post video here. sorry for bringing idol fancams to this humble network do you still love me

Video

SEABIRDIE IS HERE!!!!!!!!

@gretahayes@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz yesssss u got this!!!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz OH MY GOD IT WORKS

testing video posts here’s a yunjin fancam

Video

@prologic@twtxt.net OH SICK I GOTTA TRY THAT

@prologic@twtxt.net hahahah yeah it’s a bit heavy for what i need but i do like that it’s advanced enough that it’s easy for friends to use :P

yesterday i was gonna buy new batgirl & birds of prey issues but the comic store didn’t have either

@gretahayes@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz <333

@gretahayes@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz HI RUS OMG

@prologic@twtxt.net mediacms! it’s janky yeah but it does the job ultimately (even if sometimes videos don’t encode and i gotta do some weird python venv shit to force the encode lol…)

why’d it announce my test account LOL

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz ok nvm just temp enabling registrations for this bc it just won’t work lol i’ll play with it another time

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz wondering if the smtp_host variable is expecting something other than just the mailjet hostname…

hey yarn pod hosting friends, how do i enable an SMTP relay in the env settings? i’m trying to get a friend on here and i’m pretty sure my env config is good but it won’t send emails even after restarts which is strange. i have the right hostname for mailjet, user and pass are in there, same with from address, i’m wondering if the port is messing it up bc it has to send from 587?

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz (that is targeted only at me. i do not shower enough. exposing myself)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz though i feel like this doesn’t need to be said because if anyone is that pretty they are not a self hoster because they regularly shower

in case anyone here has the impression that the girl in my icon is me, somehow, no it’s a k-pop girl her name is wonyoung and she is the prettiest girl alive

rose put crack in apt because jesus christ i just find myself mindlessly chanting “apateu apateu” under my breath at the most random times. some brain programming shit

i’ve been transitioning CLI text editors from nano (godforsaken editor) to micro (normal and not overly opinionated to the point where i feel like i’m defusing a bomb trying to learn its keybindings) and the only weird thing is that i can’t get it to persist an alias from nano to micro when i run sudo despite me configuring that. well at least on my servers, it persists on this machine. idk i’ll look at it later

posting from CLI just cuz i can lalalala i have nothing to talk about

i love posting to my own personal youtube site i can just do whatever tf i want. no content ID here just vibes and finger crossing that i don’t get a cease and desist one day

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz after some fighting with this janky software (that i still love despite the jank) we now have stupid tux as our logo. slayyy

changing my video site’s logo to this silly no thoughts head empty tux clip art. because i can. https://openclipart.org/detail/103855/tux-the-penguin

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh no good luck!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net we live in hell

went out with my family today, brought my camcorder, resulted in a little vlog :) https://memoria.sayitditto.net/view?m=SjbDq15bL

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woah it’s like a cheatsheet with explanations! java is kind of arcane magic sorcery to me so i’m having trouble understanding it but i have that with most programming languages. this is like so much easier to actually look at and read instead of my eyes glazing over lol

@prologic@twtxt.net YEAH it’s so cool!!! i was thinking about trying it as sorta practice for golang lol

the windows CSS frameworks are sooo epic like you mean i can click a win aero button in my browser?!?! WITCHCRAFT!

morning yarn friends i’ve been playing with astro the SSG and it’s a blast i see why my friends love it and rec it to everyone. i may think javascript was a mistake but this is super cool

@prologic@twtxt.net that’s iconic af though like i should do the same bc i hate cloudflare that much i just refuse to use them

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh nah it came out like that lol! i actually love how squished it looks it feels accurate lol

oh yeah i think i might have a tripod around but i do need a sandbag or something i could use as one. maybe yeah a giant bag of rice could work LOL. thanks for the tips!!! i took a video class last year in college and we worked with cameras and tripods with sandbags so it was on my mind

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah! as long as it’s fun :D experimenting with it like picking up the camera every once in a while to point somewhere else, or in editing inserting more video in between the static angles, that could be fun!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is why people like me can’t code this is boring eyes glazing over kinda stuff lol

@prologic@twtxt.net oooh gonna have to look into this, doubt most of my sites need it but i’m thinking one or two could use it

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz here it is :) https://memoria.sayitditto.net/view?m=UyMOOoiOy

i recorded my first camcorder video!!!! it’s just me practicing guitar after sooo long of not playing it. my acoustic, to be specific (well, it’s an electric acoustic thing but i can play it without plugging it in lol, i do have a stratocaster though). it’s capped at ~30 minutes because i used one mini DVD for it and decided i wasn’t gonna use another one to extend the run time. so yeah. it was super fun! i hope i can share it soon, i’m ripping the disc with make MKV right now, then i’ll re-encode to a web friendly format, and upload to my site and hope that works well

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’d be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i’d have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda “sew with me” video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that’d be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.

magnetic tape camcorders omg!!! mine is digital but i’d LOVE to get a tape camcorder

@bender@twtxt.net aw thank you so much!!! rambling is the best… just gotta keep on going about what we love and somehow people like it lol!

@bender@twtxt.net wow almost 6am damn!!! yeah i’m EST too :)

need to come up with ideas for camcorder videos… i have one but it’s just ‘talk in front of camera about fave songs i listened to in 2024’ and i wanna do more fun things even though rambling in front of cam is already fun af

i want to make camcorder videos with this girl’s vibe she is insane https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg9isnie-qBpPIWx4ZQOnJw

good morning yarn friends! it’s noon here but i woke up an hour ago. much better compared to waking up at 4pm yesterday

@prologic@twtxt.net oh it’s ok! thank you for the explanation! i think for me when it comes to programming i learn best by doing, so like written examples or talking about it helps less, BUT baseline explanations like what a pointer is does help! i was so confused and i still need to fix the error i’m having but i will figure it out!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org AWWWW OMG THAT’S SO CUTE

@movq@www.uninformativ.de REALLLL

fighting for my life trying to learn golang WHAT THE FUCK IS A POINTER (rhetorical)

@bender@twtxt.net probably lol!

@prologic@twtxt.net nooo post away!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net fuck yeah!!!

help i’ve had this account for barely 2 days and i’m nearly at 100 posts

i am not a #gamer at all but i wanna play this it looks sooo cute https://studiopixel.sakura.ne.jp/keroblaster/index.html

my friend is getting into snh48 and its sister groups and it makes me miss being a fan but my oshi (shen mengyao) graduated so i don’t have any reason to follow them. but the thing about snh48 is that it’s a group full of messy toxic lesbians with mental problems so there is always some wild ass drama going on. you can never leave snh48 standom

i fucking love tux paint it’s so cute i wish i could draw

ladyflash by the go team is sooo good my friend just shared it and i’m obsessed already

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz https://memoria.sayitditto.net/user/andjuly/

my camcorder videos are gonna go so hard yall like i can post them exclusively to my own youtube site and just do whatever tf i want with it. i should make more vlogs

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz anyway when i get the memory stick i will record something silly and exclusive for yarn friends i can’t wait <3

@prologic@twtxt.net EVEN COOLER

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i also like the separation inherent with using dedicated devices. like i have a DAP, a fiio X1 ii from 2019, and it’s still going strong. it’s perfect for on the go music listening and i never have to worry about like going somewhere with no reception and the music drops out. it’s all local AND the battery lasts longer because i’m not using wi-fi or bluetooth or data. also i can directly access the file system and just add files anytime. this goes for my point & shoot and other devices too. i love this shit i’m such a nerd

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i think what i love about “retro” (relative to me because i was born 2004) is that it has friction but in a different way than modern tech does. sure there’s friction with getting a video from your phone to a computer unless you’re a nerd like me with android and syncthing. but not only is that something that could be but isn’t easier, it’s just… it makes sense for a camcorder from ~2009 to have the kind of friction it does

my camcorder battery & mini dvds came in the mail so i did a test recording! it’s so cool i love the crap quality. i do hope the memory stick arrives soon though because for the discs i can’t get them on my computer (not even a rom drive filesystem mount) without “finalizing” the disc which is like an old camcorder thing. i still think i’ll prefer disc recording though even if a limit of 30 minutes (or longer for lower quality) is strict. i like limitations like that

@prologic@twtxt.net this is epic… you’ve made a great platform!!! screw big tech we got literal threads here. X, The Everything App, wishes it had literal yarn threads smh my head. also twtxt is so cool like i love that yarn is a frontend for it but also its own thing. all plaintext… coolest shit ever

@prologic@twtxt.net oooh i should’ve figured yeah!!! epic…

@prologic@twtxt.net 9am wow!!! 6pm here now :P

@prologic@twtxt.net oh yeah i had to do a custom caddy build for that once but then i reverted because i didn’t need it anymore (well i kinda do but for now i’m just manually doing it instead of wildcard certs/TLS on demand i’m lazy af). otherwise i love caddy

it’s epic that twtxt slash yarn doesn’t have reposts or likes. it’s just chill. replies and posting is all a site needs

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org if i ever get to it i will absolutely post tux-in-progress pics!!! just a creature….

cron jobs are witchcraft and sorcery

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i’ve really wanted to make one of those sites you can curl that’s terminal friendly but looks different on the browser like how does wttr.in do it… magic

i like this little ideas utility i’ve been using like i keep pulling up the idea table to see what i’ve added and it makes me wanna start one of them like the CLI app i wanna write in golang with charmbracelet’s bubbletea even though i only have a vague idea of what i want in a CLI app

good morning new yarn social/twtxt friends (it is literally 5:30pm where i am i woke up at 3pm and i am still drinking coffee)

@prologic@twtxt.net YAYYY fuck cloudflare!!! caddy+wireguard amazing combo

@prologic@twtxt.net omg i keep hearing so much good about HTMX i really gotta try it!

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah and far lighter than the likes of react! it kicks ass

@prologic@twtxt.net totally understandable! i used the web app from my phone and it worked perfectly 🫶 i can’t imagine the headaches that maintaining apps brings…

@prologic@twtxt.net hopefully!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net oh i meant to hit reply but i forgot lol

it’s so cool!!!

i had ideas for my fancy new idea table list (https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea) that i’ve fallen in love with but i forgot what they were…

this is so cool i hope i can get friends to join

posting from my phone yayyy just downloaded a random tabbed browser off f-droid for this bc my main mobile browser is firefox focus which isn’t great for persisting data

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz this is that telnet zine cms by the way, it’s epic https://github.com/caraesten/dial_a_zine

really wanna make an ssh zine app inspired by a telnet zine cms i found on github. i’m gonna probably go ahead with the telnet zine idea i have if i can get people for it but if i could build my own ssh mirror for it with golang and the charmbracelet wish library that’d be epic

i absolutely love that i can post here via terminal with yarnc like fedi and bsky should take notes this is epic

asciinema is really cool. thought about self hosting my own upload site which they have docs for but i don’t need to host everything even if it’d be a fun project. the default/main site is fine enough for me when i won’t be uploading a whole lot.

messing with gemini again, this time a static site generator called gssg - https://git.sr.ht/~gsthnz/gssg

my capsule is linked in my profile but just in case it’s over at gemini://lazuli.sayitditto.net

i should use my media goblin instance

i need a tux plushie so bad i’m literally asking my sister to teach me how to sew just so i can make a tux plushie

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org these are beautiful!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz just spent like an hour playing with this and adding newjeans ASCII art this is the cutest shit ever

this is sooo cute and so fun i got it for timer stuff bc lord knows i need a timer on my computer and now i’m staring at animated ASCII cats that kiss https://github.com/poetaman/arttime

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz and this is how superlove got made

being a k-pop fan in nerd circles means no one will ever take you seriously. the solution is to be so unserious and insane that it wraps back around to people taking you seriously as you do cool things while being deeply unserious
