@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com I do the same too 😆

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com Hahahaha 😂 I hear ya and I tend to agree with your assessment 😅

So I managed to get my wife to build a couple of websites with a tool called Mobirize 👌

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net You haven’t caused any heat here at all ! 😅 This it totally good discourse, this subject though (programming) is just near and dear to my heart, and this guy Douglass” doesn’t seem to understand the problem space all that well 😂 – I also (as clearly evidenced) get “turned off” by BS like “Blah blah misinformation”. I’m a bit more direct and straight 😅 – Maybe the author could have said:

Most tutorials are shallow and don’t cover enough depth

I dunno 😅

Beer and Bath time for me 😅

They promote misinformation

That’s it, I’m out! 😂

I have no respect for anyone that starts peddling the “mainstream” narrative. If you don’t understand the space you’re talking/blogging about, just don’t try. “Must tutorials promote misinformation”?! seriously 🤦‍♂️ wtf is this guy smoking?! 😂

Programming is DIFFICULT

No it’s not.

Programming is a difficult topic to break into. It’s a complicated field

No it’s not. We’ve just created a HUGE industry around it and made it harder than it has to be.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Curious… How do you run your pod now? 🤔

Hmmmm

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com Well done 🥳 I assume you’ve now enabled websub too 😂

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Good Evening / Afternoon 👋

This must be what “first world problems” are like 😂

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com How did you “update”? There is no new binary release yet… You either have to “build from source” or run the latest Docker image prologic/yarnd:latest – If you do the later, you might have to docker pull prologic/yarnd first 😅

@mckinley@twtxt.net Thanks bud 🤗

Hey @frankiem@twtxt.net welcome! 😅 This post was just automated from the @support@twtxt.net bot on my pod 👌

@frankiem@twtxt.net Hey mate 👋 Welcome to my pod (one of many!) 🤗 We were just discussing on the phone, bring all your friends colleagues and even family if you want! 😂

I can probably contribute the most on the pwa repo.

Actually, if you’re good with Javascript and specifically MithrilJS you could help us get the PWA repo/project – Currently it’s just a bit of a skeleton. I also don’t like to use NodeJS or NPM as you can tell 😅 over complicates things for me!)

@justamoment@twtxt.net

Sadly, I don’t know Go Lang though, so my help is limited to the HTML/JS parts. 😁

This is fine! 💯 There’s a lot you can contribute to in the default theme – No real Go experience required really, the Go html/template is not hard to get used to 👌

There is also a Guide for Template Authors on our Wiki.

and the bird got mad.

Man fuck the bird! 😂

@david@netbros.com Thank you! 😂 Yarn.social has just become my “Let me Google that for you” 🤣

@novaburst@twt.nfld.uk Do you mind linking these as proper inline Markdown images next time? 😂 You might even ask your Poderator @jlj@twt.nfld.uk nicely to add tilde\.team to the “Permitted Image Domains” – as will I for my pod 😂

Example:

![drawing with a mouse is hard](https://tilde.team/~novaburst/img/drawingwithamouseishard.cleaned.png "Drawing with a mouse is hard!")

👌

@mutefall@twtxt.net Confirmed! 😅

@david@netbros.com @mutefall@twtxt.net I’m kind of curious too… Looking back through the parent Yarn here, I don’t see wtf you even did to get suspended?! 😳 I mean seriously?! C’mon Twitter™ – not that I care 😂 I myself went through this period of “create an account”, “delete my account”, “create it again”, “delete it again” to finally, “why the fuck do I want a Tiwtter™ account?” to several years later, creating Yarn.social 🤣

@mutefall@twtxt.net Can you link me to singlelogin? I’m also aware of solutions in the “throw away email” space, I don’t currently run one yet, but I’m thinking about doing so at some point as part of my greater effort towards Self Hosting all the things™ 😂

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com PS: Did you know you can add a Description and custom Avatar for your @support@yarn.yarnpods.com and other feeds 😂

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com Good luck! 🤞

I agree with both of you @mutefall@twtxt.net and @screem@yarn.yarnpods.com – I’d like to see an ecosystem grow for Smartphones whereby consumers can choose to have a Smartphone with either Android, iOS or Linux. The later of course does exist, but it’s just not very good, it needs more people involved I think. – Maybe that’s what needs to happen. I mean this is how Linux on the Desktop happened right? 😅

One thing I’d like to show and point out is the effect this feature has had on my Pod alone:

CPU Load on my twtxt.net Pod since enabling WebSub

The dip back up was me turning it off to fix some bugs 😅

@david@netbros.com Wow! 😳 High praise 🥳 Thanks @david@netbros.com 🙇‍♀️

How does this affects --fetch-interval

Basically, fetching “subscribed” feeds will be done via WebSub. During the Cache fetch cycle, which is controlled by --fetch-interval, subscribed feeds are skipped.

This has the effect of reducing inbound and outbound load on pods via “polling” and instead pods are notified in near real-time of a feed on a Pod being updated (note this is a yarnd only feature).

To see timeline, discovery, and mention changes now one must manually reload pages. Are these features changing this?

No, this will likely never change with the SSR (Server-Side Rendered) yarnd Web Interface as-is. We may (I’ve been talking about it for a while now) introduce a “You have X new items, Click here to refresh” banner at the top at some point when @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com and I figure out how to build that.

@david@netbros.com My apologies @david@netbros.com 🙇‍♂️ I should have done a better job here in documenting the new feature (maybe that’s why it’s still feature gated? 🤣) – Nevertheless…

what are the visible subtleties for users?

Hopefully none. The _only noticeable difference for cross-pod users in the Yarn.social network is real-time(ish) feed/cache refreshes as User A on Pod X makes a Twt and User B on Pod Y sees it within ~5s or so.

I’m not sure it’s a hardware problem per se… 🤔 The problem I have is even if there was a good Linux Smartphone of some kind, what would I do with it? The apps and UI/UX for them is umm well sucky at best 😂 The experience is rather terrible 😢 – What I really want is an iPhone running a variant of iOS that has all of Apple™’s iCloud and other “cloud” shit “code removed”. I just want a few essentials apps and maybe a browser. I honestly couldn’t care less about an “App Store” either, since you know… PWA(s) are a thing 😅

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com In the same vein as privacy/security, I’ve always had this idea of spinning up a service that lets users create random/unique email accounts, or throw away email accounts. Basically to thwart SPAM.

@justamoment@twtxt.net Showing a reference is in the works 👌 Agreed 😅You are welcome to help us improve the UX 🙇‍♀️ Source code is linked in the footer of any pod 👌

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Thanks! 👌 I think I’ve played with this before. But I’ll look into it again 🤔

@mutefall@twtxt.net This sounds like a cool project! 👌 Who will you use as the backing SIP provider?

Finally:

DevOps was never intended to make developers do both application and platform operations.

👏

And:

Enabling them to do so, on a technical level, is the job of the platform operators. This team works in the background, and keeps the platforms and systems humming along nicely. They are the enablers who lay the foundation upon which developers can perform their new duties in a DevOps way.

The last few paragraphs hits the nail on the head here:

Developers can practice the DevOps way of working by taking on the responsibilities of development and application operations. This allows developers to iterate fast. They can monitor, analyze, plan, and execute code changes in an agile way. It allows them to focus and put all their efforts into building value for the organization via application development.

I don’t normally enjoy much of the content that comes out of the CNCF but in this particular case this guest blog post on how DevOps is ‘misunderstood” is actually a great read. I empathize with a lot of the points made here and agree. 👌 It also makes me want to write a follow-up blog post in response to this, because there’s another aspect of “misunderstanding” when it comes to the “Platform Operators” as the author puts it here that I’d like to discuss 😅 #DevOps #SRE

@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com Hahahah ooops ! 😂 At least the original is preserved as well 👌

@adi@twtxt.net I’ll look into it a bit further 👌

@james@yarn.mills.io I just can’t put my finger out, things are muh more real-time now between pods, but I suspect there are still some edge-cases with how the Cache behaves 🥵

@adi@twtxt.net As I keep saying $5/month/TB is too expensive 🤣

@adi@twtxt.net Actually looks fairly decent 👌

Beer O’Clock 🍻

Hmmm

@justamoment@twtxt.net We’re going to need your help here to make this a better user experience. Please help us 🤗 I’m biased because I’m used to the current UX, but that doesn’t mean it’s correct or even the best user experience (yet) – I blame myself, I originally built most of it, now thanks to folks like @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com it’s getting a lot better 🤗

We’ve been lied to for decades now in this heavy Cloud/SaaS industry we find ourselves in with numerous so-called “free” services that aren’t really free at all, let alone private or even secure (there are data breaches and leaks pretty much every other day).

One thing I’d like to do is Write a blog post response to Moxie’s post – Because are some beefs I have with his opinion on this subject, namely statements like:

People don’t want to run their own servers, and never will.

👎 👎 👎

@novaburst@twt.nfld.uk Finally got around to reading this.

This guy sounds a lot like me with very similar views 😅 Why isn’t he on Yarn.social? 🤔

As an alternative approach, I advocate for software that is designed with self-hosting in mind first. These are applications that are designed to be as simple as possible, with as low of an operational burden as possible

👏 Absolutely 100% agree, this is what I’m most passionate about. Writing good software, tools and self-hosted apps and services is not really that hard…
