Reminded me of this classic:
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net OMG I finally watched this!!! So freak’n hilarious! 😂
@novaburst@twt.nfld.uk sigh Why couldn’t XMPP have used the HTTP transport 😢
@novaburst@twt.nfld.uk Does it still requires all these silly ports to be open in my firewall? 🤔
@cvshumake@twtxt.net Chris bdudy! 👋 Hello! How have you been?
Update your Avatar 😅
Another (what looks like) an awesome decentralised / self-hosted Video Conferencing written in Go sing the awesome Pion WebRTC library – Alternative to Jitsi Meet and Peer Calls
I can’t do XMPP. I just can’t. It’s so fucking complicated, uses a bazillion ports I have to punch into my firewall and all kinds of stupid bits of configuration that you really don’t give two shits about for a small instance.
Sorry XMPP enthusiasts, I just can’t even. 🤦♂️
Too hard™
Now we just need some nice Russians to setup Yarn.social pods 👌
@novaburst@twt.nfld.uk Thanks 😂
@technicalsuwako@netbros.com / @david@netbros.com What’s the confusing part here? 🤔 Hiw can we improve the UX?
Check out sole of the more modern clients 😆
@ionores@twtxt.net So sad 😢
@justamoment@twtxt.net There is someone that’s working on an Android app, I just don’t recall whoo. You might be interested in using that and helping test it? I think you’d be better of going manual by the sounds of it, hopefully the documentation for doing so is pretty straight forward https://yarn.social#manually 👌
@jsreed5@jsreed5.org I think you’re about 4 days too late to this story? 🤔 Didn’t this happen days ago? 🤔
@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com That’s okay, there isn’t a lot of context on my website either 😅
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Will watch later! 👌 #Bookmarked
@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com Looks pretty good mate 👌
@justamoment@twtxt.net stay as long as you like! Or don’t, whatever, it’s up to you or spin up your own pod or host your own feed manually 🤗
Either way big welcome to Yarn.social 🥳
@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com Yes absolutely! Let’s get those out of the way 🤗 I don’t like having long-running WIP PR(s) lying around if we can help it 😅
@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com No, what we said was, “code freeze” right? 😅 But yeah let’s work on this tonight! 🤗
We should define a list of things we want to polish up and finish off before we unfreeze and roll yarnd v0.14 finally. Wanna help define this? @david@netbros.com you too? 🤔 (anyone else?)
@prologic@twtxt.net I’d be keen to get your input on my website when I’m done for accessibility, if that’s ok.
Of course! 👌
@ionores@twtxt.net Is there a way to search this table / dataset ? 🤔 I’m kind of curious to know:
- Which is the most green
- Which is the most red
😅
does the US make their own rocket engines? 🤔SpaceX / Elon Musk
@caesar@twtxt.net I’ve never used WhatsApps, so I can’t really comment on any specifics, only what I knew (at one point) and observe (from Meta’s behaviour). I try to encourage all my friends, colleagues and acquaintances to never use WhatsApps and get off it and use Signal instead.
One of the difficulties is quite simple this; If a piece of software that millions, hell even billions rely on is closed source, how can you really trust it? Unlike Signal that has been audited (both the spec and the app’s source code), trusting a messaging app/service of any kind from a company whose business it is to know everything about you and sell that information to advertisers, is, a “fools errand”.
Contrast this to Apple’s iMessages, a company that is NOT in the business
of collecting information about you or selling it to advertisers. You can
largely trust iMessages the app and service to a greater degree, I say greater
because it’s not open source so you have to trust Apple’s word here that the
contents of the messages are in fact e2e encrypted and not sent or stored in
the clear.
Anyway… </rant> – Trust is hard™
Don’t trust “FREE” services from a company whose business model is Advertising.
@rebelljoe@twt.nfld.uk Speaking of Websites, CVs, Gemini capsules, Gopher holes, Github profiles and all sorts of things you might want to link from your Yarn.social profile – We should get Links working @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com 😅
@rebelljoe@twt.nfld.uk That’s might good of you Sir! 🙇♂️ I wish there were more people like you 🤗
When I used to work there (Facebook Inc.) they had only recently purchased WhatsApp. At the time it was basically a “pick it all up” and “place over here”. WhatsApp had their own locked offices on campus, and their own DataCenter space.
They spent the next few years integrating with the rest of the Facebook ecosystem, now they are just a part of the Facebook infrastructure, data, graph database and family of apps.
You read into what what you will 😅
@caesar@twtxt.net You are right about WhatsApp using the same Signal protocol. However it is questionable at best as to whether it is implemented strictly as per the stated specification.
On the subject of Metadata however, this is not quite right. Signal itself (https://signal.org) does not store or collect any Metadata about you or who you interact with whatsoever. They go out of their way quite a lot to also e2e encrypt this data too. You can read about it on their blog posts.
Bottomline is; try really hard not to trust WhatsAppa (from Facebook) 😂
Hey @darch@twtxt.net – I emailed Aral some time ago (18th Feb) and so far I’ve gotten no response. What about you? 🤔
@caesar@twtxt.net WhatsApp is not end-to-end encrypted. It hasn’t been for some time now since it was acquired by Facebook – An advertising company.
@rebelljoe@twt.nfld.uk Oh gawd that’s so disgusting and disappointing 🤦♂️
@justamoment@twtxt.net Hello! 👋 Welcome 🤗
@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com It’s pretty good software actually 😆 I can vouch for the developer 😂
@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com You should also checkout beehive 👌
I too share the same concerns. Shutting down Russian DNS infrastructure is not a viable solution here or even remotely helpful. However as I stated before, terminating their TLS certificates and Certificate Authorities however is. A lot of secure systems like financial systems rely on secure transport communications (hence TLS), without this it would be hard to trade internationally, buy arms, munitions, etc, helping to further cripple the economy and help end the war much faster IHMO.
@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com Well I have a lot of respect for the guy (Edward Snowden), but I can’t for the life of me think why he’d be “pro-Russia”. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve known many Russians, and they’re good people, but if the idea of pro-Russia is to be involved in stupid cold wars for decades, have a “president” that changes the laws so he remains in power, then start pointless wars against other countries and commit human atrocities and crimes, I’m sorry I just can’t even. I hope to god the people of Russian revolt and rebel against all of this. 🤞
@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com And what’s the relevance here? 🤔
@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com I primarily use Signal too 👌
@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com Is there some context to this Tweet? 🤔
@rebelljoe@twt.nfld.uk oh yeah I totally got the aesthetics 👌
@jlj@twt.nfld.uk Hmmm maybe – maybe not @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com thoughts? 🤔
I just put together this quick little beauty which I’ll try to refactor as a web app and service at some point over the next coming weekend(s) 👌
@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com I’ve had to learn myself 😅 It’s not that difficult, a quick course in SVGs will get you along your way ! 😂
I really highly recommend you spin up even just a test account on my pod over at twtxt.net to get an idea/feel for the value this simple “threading” model brings 😅 – At it’s simplest, you need only preserve the (#xxxxxxx) subject you might see in a feed you might want to reply to and add to 👌 You are also welcome to install and use yarnc hash as a tool to compute hashes…
@hecanjog@hecanjog.com You might think you don’t need these until you start interacting with many more folks around the greater ecosystem, at last count there’s over 500+ active users and growing every day 😅
@mutefall@twtxt.net Good sound advice really 👌
@mutefall@twtxt.net So jealous 😂
i’m also rather inspired by your small website. meanwhile i’m trying to bribe @prologic@twtxt.net into learning css for me.
Oh I know CSS! I’m just not very god at UX 😅
