Recent twts from prologic

I made some improvements to the Twtxt Search service tonight. Hopefully this update makes it a bit easier to use and resolves some of your critical pieces of feedback @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 🤞 The main idea being that by default the search is basically a “Query String” type search, meaning that it does what you expect. If you search for a simple term, it’ll do that, If you enclose your search term in “double quotes” it’ll search for that phrase. If you then want to search against specific fields you can do so with mentions:prologic@twtxt.net for example. I hope this makes the useability much better 👌

In-reply-to » @prologic ZFS is fine but it's out-of-tree and extremely inflexible. If Btrfs RAID5/6 was reliable it would be fantastic. Add and remove drives at will, mix different sizes. I hear it's mostly okay as long as you mirror the metadata (RAID1), scrub frequently, and don't hammer it with too many random reads and writes. However, there are serious performance penalties when running scrubs on the full array and random reads and writes are the entire purpose of a filesystem.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Fair 👌

To be honest I don’t find it all that inflexible.

When you consider that you’re limited by hardware anyway, you plan your ZFS array ahead of time like I did.

As the years go on and drives fail you eventually replaces all disks with slightly larger ones.

In-reply-to » @lyse Speaking of which, can we make any obvious (low hanging fruit) improvements here? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’ve kept this thread open to think about… But honestly I’m drawing a blank. Do you have any ideas for improvements yourself here? It’s not super clear to me what we should do to make this easier and more useful 😅 I admit myself I also get confused between Match and Term and even though I understand what Query String search is, I tend to think it’s something we can support by “magical detection”™ of the input? 🤔

In-reply-to » @bender What would make standing up Yarn even easier? I can think of a few things that people might struggle with: a Domain, Pointing the domain at something valid, Maybe a reverse proxy setup. Running yarnd itself is just downloading a binary and configuring it (which could also be easier)

@mckinley@twtxt.net Thanks! 🙇‍♂️

In-reply-to » @eapl.me Is self hosting an instance (Yarn or Mastodon) just too hard for most? 🤔 I know standing up 'as to don is a biatch for sure 🤣

In-reply-to » We have great April weather over here. Yesterday sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, hail, sun, hail, sun, rain, etc. It didn't hail today, but sun alternatd with rain a bunch of times. Went out this evening and boy, what an absolutely gorgeous scenery!

That is one magnificent dandelion 😳

In-reply-to » Is there something simpler, and leaner, than Gitea, which will allow me to see (as in read only) git repositories nicely on a web browser? Preferably a one-file-only solution, written in Golang.

@bender@twtxt.net gitxt probably would do the trick for you 👌 It’s not quite as polished as I’d like, but it works.

In-reply-to » @prologic I believe that only a search box on the front page is better. Just like it is now. I still haven't got used to the advanced options, but that's an entirely different story.

I just think it’s hilarious that y’all say you don’t use Yarn / twtxt.net in one breath, but in the same you say you frequently visited the frontpage of twtxt.net to catch up on stuff 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net I’ll wait a while before doing something. For now I’ve unfollowed.

In-reply-to » Went on a 20-25km long hike yesterday. Birds were beautifully singing, the lovely smell of freshly cut grass was in the air and the terror of rotary mowers reached my ear constantly. It was a bit cloudy, but the sun peaked through every now and then. Really a wonderful day to be outside. About 21°C and some wind.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Lovely😅

In-reply-to » I think @abucci and @stigatle are running snac? I didn’t have a closer look at snac (no intention of running it), but if that is a relatively small daemon (maybe comparable to Yarn?) that gives you access to the whole world of ActivityPub, then, well, yeah … That’s tough to beat.

@bender@twtxt.net GoToSocial is actually great 👍 I’ve run it while testing/devel;ing my first activity pub integration for yarnd I would run it myself permanently, except that I honestly prefer Twtxt and want to keep Yarn.social alive and moving forward (even if slowly).
