@movq@www.uninformativ.de sounds like a very good place to start! 😊

@Rob@jsreed5.org you forgot to add “said no one”. 🤭

@prologic@twtxt.net towards the end of the month.

@prologic@twtxt.net will miss the first couple, but will sure join when we return from vacations! 😊

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no you mean, you don’t want the dog mauling everything in the house while you are away? 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de indeed! We just landed in Los Angeles, and they are still at it!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ll tell you in a couple of weeks. Currently on our way to Japan. 😊

@movq@www.uninformativ.de mine is -1.

@prologic@twtxt.net having to go to search to read an older conversation is inefficient, unseemly, and an overall poor user experience. There has to be another way, right?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com it looks good, mate. All set! 😊

Spring cleaning! 😊

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com off topic, I think you are using hard wrapping, or something similar, on mutt/neomutt. The formatting of your twts come up a little off. Specifically, the line wraps.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com well done! Now do 48 hours without a computer, nor Internet. Baby steps! 😅

@dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com a fun read indeed, thanks for sharing. The author has other interesting stuff, it’s a good site!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org dear lord, that’s nuts. Now, when he is driving they don’t show the driver. Still, seemingly a feat!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this almost made me choke:

But on the flipside, we’ve also been abused as dumpsters again. Some asshole brought us a deep fryer. With the oil still in it. Unfortunately, we discovered that too late.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk that’s finicky. Got to make it more robust! :-)

Yeah, I was correct. He originally posted “and image”, and I replied to that one. Then he edited the twt, changing it to “an image”, and you replied.

@mckinley@twtxt.net because the OP edited the twt, after Yarn had already cached it. I replied to the original one, you replied to the edited version (o vice versa, haven’t checked).

@prologic@twtxt.net under maintenance now.

@prologic@twtxt.net how old is the actual appliance? You can replace disks all you want/need, but the life of the appliance itself is finite.

@mckinley@twtxt.net the best way to suffer no data loss is to not have data at all. 😂 I haven’t lost a single datum.

@prologic@twtxt.net I am following @dbucklin@ but mentioning him renders that broken thing you see on this twt.

@prologic@twtxt.net this happened. Mentions often break. 😩

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com images are linked using markdown “standard”, like so:

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hehehehe, I was trying to mention dbucklin but Yarn is broken.

I vote for jenny too. It is pretty cool. Even more so if you are a mutt’s fan!

@dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com Hi there! Well, I got your message. Let me know if you have gotten mine.

@dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com further test. It seems Yarn is very finicky.

Let’s see if this works, shall we? 😊

@someone@www.davebucklin.com testing…

And that’s… bad, right @prologic@twtxt.net?

So, started following https://www.davebucklin.com/twtxt.txt, but there is no way to interact with him. Mentions will never come out right.

Ha! Found it:

Due to the Btrfs RAID issues, Synology chose Linux RAID. Based on the diagram below, Synology has implemented the layers in between the file systems and disks to ensure that Synology has full control to achieve the highest stability.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I am curious now, though. Doesn’t Synology use RAID Btrfs? How in the world do they do it? Researching…

@mckinley@twtxt.net “Warning: The RAID 5 and RAID 6 modes of Btrfs are fatally flawed, and should not be used for “anything but testing with throw-away data.” – Yikes!. Gulp.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de what password manager do you use on the CLI? Is it pass?

@prologic@twtxt.net that’s some service!

@prologic@twtxt.net I remember when I first ran Yarn on arrakis, it was a mess. Remember I had to start it again from scratch? If I were to run Yarn today, I will have to ask you what -u to use, if I am going to run a web server on it (say, Caddy), and what to do to keep the huge cache Xuu and I like. LOL. Granted, I could figure it out myself after some trial and error too.

To make Yarn install easier? An installer script that would prompt for the settings, generate config, and install the systemd, because, whether we like it or not, the biggest Linux distros around use it.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t see how OP will see the replies. Does Yarn proxies to Gemini?

@prologic@twtxt.net ooooohhh! I like Legit quite a bit. “Oui, il est le git!” :-D Thanks!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org mind it, English is my second language, though I have been using it since 1992, almost constantly.

“Next weekend”, is the weekend after the one coming up. The one coming up is “this weekend”, or simply “the weekend” (as in, “see you this weekend!” or “will mow the lawn on the weekend”). I don’t like the perceived ambiguity of it, thus I strictly use dates (“lets get together on Saturday, 4 May 2024”). 😅

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.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hahahahaha! Good findings. Yes, most of them are invented, and medical/drug related. The kick with the German ones is that they summarise an entire paragraph, with not just meaning, but also feelings, and–hypothetically–hard to describe extra meanings rather difficult or impossible to translate to other languages.

One of Lyse's photos

Wow, so pretty, dude! The one you used on this twt (tiny photo too, not sure what happened here) doesn’t make justice to the entire set. Very good clicks there!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL. That’s pretty much it, and it just means “extraordinary”. 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net I think it happens more, and more, while on mobile. I use iCloud Private Relay, if that helps.

Now, don’t misunderstand me. With all the perceived drawbacks/flaws I listed, Yarn works. Could it be much better? For sure. But it works. :-D

@eapl.me@eapl.me you wrote:

I don’t use Yarn/Twtxt.net anymore, although I read the homepage a few times a week to catchup on anything interesting.

Then you do use it, no? Right? :-D

I barely twt from my PHP instance.

Because PHP sucks! See what I did? I am “encouraging” engagement! :-D

… it’s too superficial to have a meaningful conversation.

Microblogging is often the antithesis of meaningful. You talk about everything, and anything you want. Even to the void. You have done it!

Yarn is niche. With it’s forks, and yarns, it comes across as a “weird” microblogging for some (weird was the word a friend from Philippines used to refer to Yarn). The UI/UX has issues (I am not an expert, but I would say copying “the others” and slightly adjusting to give Yarn it’s own uniqueness should work), and that keeps people away. The cache blows, I want to be able to see everything, at all times. The built-in search blows, I want a more “ala Google” kind of search. There is more, but you get the gist.

@prologic@twtxt.net standing up Mastodon isn’t that much complicated. It is just a little bit more demanding than Yarn, that’s all.
