Heh, so now all the news sites in Norway is saying that ‘covid leak from the lab is a plausible explanation’, and 2 years ago you got banned all over the place for even asking if that was possible, and called this and that if you questioned this.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I’m sure all I need is there, the challenge is to set up the gui for it all - it’s not always clear how to do it all for me (in rust), but I’m sure I’ll get that stuff solved :) If I start something I work on it until it does what I need.
I might also switch to another gui library, I have to check out a bit more which one I feel is easiest to use for what I need.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you. I’ll work on fetching and parsing all the posts after work today. Looking forward to getting this into a working state.

The issue I had was the way the json library got the value, it included qoutes, which I do not want when I create the header info, and that is what took the most time to figure out how to solve, but not that works, which is nice! Next up is fetching statues and show them, and also a dynamic gui for posts.

Oh damn! That took a while, was a pain in the ass to get the json stuff working, but now it did! So now I get the token as json, fetch it and then use it when I created the post above! Woho!

Test from ftlk in rust.

@prologic@twtxt.net got ping, login and posting to work through gui. next is fetching statuses and parse that into a nice list etc.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Correct! It’ll be a generic yarn client. :)

@prologic@twtxt.net haha yeah! got the pieces I need now, so Ill start on a gui application with this now.

Hello World from rust!

@retronav@twtxt.net I found this site: https://curlconverter.com/rust/ , makes it damn easy. Woho! Got the token now.

@retronav@twtxt.net yeah, takes some time to adjust.
got the ping request to work, currently working on auth stuff.

I will try and write a small cli example project in rust, that will let you post a message on yarn through a server url. Once I have that - I will then try and write a client with GUI and all that. I have not used rust much - but I really want to learn it more. I usually stick with c++. Not sure how much time it’ll take to get started, but I’ll give it a try.

Started my day with a 10km hike with the dog this morning, was nice and quiet outside today, about 0c out, but sun was shining, so was really nice. Kids are busy today, so now I’m spending some time on my computer, which is nice. Been a very busy week, so I’m glad it’s weekend now.

@prologic@twtxt.net great news! thank you so much! Ill upgrade asap.

I was supposed to travel this weekend (work), but in the end I did not need too. So now Ill enjoy the weekend at home :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Cool! :)

Good morning to you all!
Are you doing anything cool this weekend?

@bender@twtxt.net hehe!
The cool thing is that it worked just fine on my VPS at least, so this is going to be nice!
Yarn is by far my favorite social media, and even more now with the feediverse stuff that’s coming along.

@bender@twtxt.net Nice! Thank you so much!

So. this post should show up on mastodon! :)

@bender@twtxt.net Try again now.

@bender@twtxt.net ok. I’ll check some more.

@bender@twtxt.net I enabled that through the web ui admin panel now.

@bender@twtxt.net can you give me your @user for your mastodon? I can then follow you there and see if that part works. I picked some random ones from fosstodon to follow, it said it followed successfully at least.

@bender@twtxt.net are you testing that from another server?
Do I make it discoverable by enabling the ‘open profile’ setting? or do you mean something else?

Did this show up in the feediverse?

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net Not good.

@prologic@twtxt.net Just a heads up - seems like your autocomplete or something is still using the nick I had at twtxt and not my new one :)

Good morning to you all!
The weather forecast says it’ll be sunny for a week now, damn I’m looking forward to that, we’ve had a lot of rain this week.

some cool images of that spy balloon.

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net aha, I see. no problem. Ill get it set up on my prod server tomorrow then 😀

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net Running out of time for tonight, but I will test it tomorrow! :) I’ll let you know how it goes tomorrow night.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you.
What I did was to just pull the latest, build deps and the server, then enable the features as you mention through command line, as soon as I add activitypub it fails with that error when it starts up.

@prologic@twtxt.net got the admin stuff sorted on both now.

@prologic@twtxt.net I do not think I have set up the admin user correctly.
I need to check that. But yes - I should be the admin either way.
The error I mentioned was on my development machine - not my VPS that I currently post from.

I do not write much, but I decided to write a post about our dog.
https://stigatle.no/posts/2023-07-02-husky/

I’m trying to write a bit more on my website, so it felt natural to write about this.
I also have some other posts I want to do later on about other things that I do.

@prologic@twtxt.net - when I start it I get this error:
INFO[0000] started websub processor ERRO[0000] error setting up ap error="error getting support feed: error: feed not found" FATA[0000] error creating server error="error getting support feed: error: feed not found"

home from work. feed the dog, then walk in the forest in the rain. after that it’s computer time :)

@prx@si3t.ch mine has libreboot.

@prx@si3t.ch I have a x200 with that :) very nice to have!

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m thinking more in general - about the balloons and stuff that’s been in the news.
It’s just some of the comments they have made publicly, calling it a balloon in one setting, then ‘object’ in another..
I think all of those where just that - balloons, but either way some of those UAP’s are strange.
And I always wonder if someone has a craft from some other world or not.

It would not be weird in any way if some aliens evolved way beyond us, and it would not be weird if someone visited us here.
We would do the same if we found a planet with life.

All in all it’s just fascinating to think about these things.

What do you all think about the UFO thing going on?
Do you believe some of them are aliens? (tictac \ go-fast etc)?
Do you think some government have a real UFO stashed away somewhere?

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you for doing this! I’m really excited about this feature!

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, thank you! I will test this after work today. Thank you!

@prologic@twtxt.net I start my yarnd through command line, is there a way to enable the activitypub that way? or do I need to do it some other way? (I compiled the latest source)

getting a new phone soon. Ill go for a iphone 14 this time. I have always had android, but Im a bit tired of it now to be honest, want something else. I will get the standard model. the others are way too expensive. I use it mostly for photos, so I hope its good (either way it’ll be better then what I have now).

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, that is correct :) I use it for testing, but I set it up as any desktop system as close as I can, with all the things I usually use.
I’m really excited about riscv - I have another board as well, which is more like a arduino, but I never got that one to do anything useful, but the mangopo - is as you say more usefull since it’s just like a raspberrypi zero, and works very well.
But I am looking forward to that day I can have a proper desktop system (or laptop) with riscv. There was a board released some time ago that let you do that, but the price was a bit too high for me .So now I wait for the next thing to come out.

Seems like the best option is to reflash the SD card - I do not want to deal with that tonight, I’ll leave that for tomorrow. So I’ll do other things tonight :)

Also wifi is only working by tether through my phone, I want to see if I can get that sorted.

tonight Im going to tinker a bit with my Mangopi riscv board. runs debian. I want to update it and install some new stuff on it.

@prologic@twtxt.net I would love to help! But I do not (at this time) know enough about that to help out unfortunately..

@james@yarn.mills.io @prologic@twtxt.net very very cool!

@prologic@twtxt.net yay!

@GopherChat@magical.fish yeah, that sounds like a good idea to get that up to a more recent version.

@prologic@twtxt.net good night! sleep well!

Took my daughter’s kickbike again and let Nanook pull for some kilometres, he was really good today, fun to see him correct around obstacles, and when he looks back at me while running to make sure things are OK. I really need to get a offroad kickbike that I can use, makes it more safe too - because he runs fast. I know Ill get one in mid May, hopefully sooner.

@prologic@twtxt.net thank you, I took it last weekend :)

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net very cool! thanks for doing this!

good morning to you all! what are you all doing today?

My kids joined me on the long walk I had with the dog this afternoon, just before the storm came. I walked - they took their bikes. Was nice to spend this time with them today and not walk the round alone :)
Now it’s time to just wind down and relax for the rest of the evening.
Will probably spend some time on my computer today.

@GopherChat@magical.fish Just install lynx, and tor, and then set proxy?

Edit /etc/lynx-site.cfg
Add:
http_proxy:http://proxy.abc.xyz:8080

@prologic@twtxt.net Not too bad, but right now it’s calm again, but somewhere around 40m sec wind or something like that.
They have sent our a orange warning, which typically means it gets proper windy. But we’ll see :)
Neven been so bad that it destroys something where I live, but trees and stuff like that often cuts power some times, and trees over the roads etc, but nothing too bad usually.

A storm is hitting us today, it just arrived it seems! Exciting day! Hopefully our roof won’t come off today.

@prologic@twtxt.net That is a good point. I do not mind either way, but I have to admit I do not know enough about it to tell if one solution is better then the other. But I think it’s important to make it so that it brings others onboard as well as you say.
I would definitely use it - since that would remove the need to set up other things to communicate with others, so It would be a most welcomed feature to have.

@prologic@twtxt.net a separate binay would work too, maybe yarnd could just start it. if its a separate project - then it could possibly be useful for others as well? Im not sure, Im just thinking - the easier it is to set up and run - the better it is for everyone. Im sure it can be easy to set up and use either way.

@prologic@twtxt.net personally I would like it integrated and opt-in. just enable with a flag when starting up yarnd.

@prologic@twtxt.net that would be very nice, and remove the need to have more services running. I think it would attract more people to run this to use that, sunce yarnd is very easy to set up and run.

@prologic@twtxt.net doing fine, the dily grind. But look forward to the weekend, going to a indoor trampoline park with my kids, and weather is going to be nice (not rain) as well, so Ill try and get on a hike with them as well, have a fire, cook some food and just enjoy being out in the forest :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Good evening! How are you doing today?

Good morning! Wish you all a great day!

@cel@celehner.com hi there!

got up at 7 this morning, 14 hours later I finally get to sit down. time to chill before sleep :)

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hehe, we have never brushed his teeth to be honest, but he gets high quality food, without grain / potatoes, pure dried meat pellets, and raw frozen meat that we defrost and mix in. he also chews a lot of bone as well.

@prologic@twtxt.net yup, Alaskan Husky :)

Happy birthday Nanook! 1 year already :)

Image

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I do not have a picture of the sunset here, but it was really nice here too :)
thanks for sharing, always nice to see :)

@prologic@twtxt.net thank you so much!
perfect for what I needed.

@prologic@twtxt.net do you have an example somewhere? want to tinker a bit and use libcurl for it

can I post on yarn through curl?

Image

today we went and played some football together and went to the park.
later Ill take the dog to the dogpark, some bigger dogs are going there later today, so that’ll be fun for Nanook. other then that we’ll have nachos tonight, and saturday candy plus a movie :) going to be a nice day!

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Wish you all a great day!

sadly wifi does not work. have to check that later.

decided to boot it again. turns out I typed the wrong encryption password yesterday, and instead of saying that it printed that error. booted fine now :)

annoyingly it did not boot after install. prints : CCB request completed with an error.. argh.

It booted fine! currently creating partitions etc. I like that you could enable encryption. when its done I’ll go through my usual routine and set up all development tools etc and get some stuff compiled.

I bought a 256GB usb a couple of weeks ago, I now want a OS on it with persistent storage.
I only have 1 drive on my newest laptop at the moment, so I do not want to dualboot and such, so a os on the usb stick is a nice option.
Tonight I’m testing NomadBSD - https://nomadbsd.org/index.html
Will flash it in a couple of minutes, hope it boots fine with my hardware.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org haha, I wish!

@prologic@twtxt.net going to be a huge radio telescope. qorking on various scifi assets.

also, our dog does not sleep long on weekends, but today I refused to get up early once he started to get riled up I walked over to his crate, told him to sleep, sniffed my hand and he then stopped and got back to sleep, did that two times, and got up at 10 instead of 8. felt great!

At least I started on something today. Been months and months since I did anything. I started on a asset I want to use in a short I want to make some day.
Not done yet at all, but blocking things out just so I get a feel for it.

Image

Norway is buying 54 new tanks.
Sweet upgrade.
All though the current war is a distance from Norway - it’s still our neighbour who is causing it. So it’s always in the back of my mind.

@bender@twtxt.net I do not like that either. too much noise there. Does not feel meaningful in any way yet.

@axodys@octobloc.xyz which one did you like?

Image

@bender@twtxt.net I honestly did not know they had one.. I thought it was cli only.
