@abucci@anthony.buc.ci does fail2ban work with ipv6 yet?

It’s the same type of antenna on both buildings, all though one is a actual building, and the other is just the antenna with a smaller building under the mesh structure.
I often fly flightsims, its my hobby, so I often work with waypoints, so I now just looked up the waypoint to find it’s information, to do that I looked up the closes airport, then looked around until I found the waypoint:
https://opennav.com/navaid/KR/SEL/ANYANG

So would they really place a navaid on a building that contains a UFO? I do not think so.
Would a UFO crash that close to Seoul without a since photo or video? I do not think so either.

I understand your thoughts on this, but I would not call it a failure - because you learned a lot from it, and lots of things worked as well.
And there are alternatives for those who needs\wants activitypub, so I think also yarn\twtxt benefits from you focusing on that instead of dealing with the frustrations of activitypub integration. And maybe it’ll feel a bit better to put that on the backburner? :)

@hecanjog@hecanjog.com I have a script for tmux that sets up a new if needed among other things.

http://github.com/brandur/tmux-extra

Works great with powerline.

@prologic@twtxt.net no worries :) and as you know I appreciate the work you put into it!

I had issues with the current activitypub implementation here on yarn (people could not follow me properly) and I cannot see their posts and stuff like that, so I decided to host activitypub separate from here.
So I will turn it off here - and use this site has as before - but without activitypub turned on, and then do all my activitypub stuff over on that other service.
I can be added through: @stigatle@activitypub.stigatle.no
This does not affect the development of the desktop client, I will still work on that, I’m here to stay :) I just need a way to follow the others properly on the other services..

I did not want to join mastodon, and I did not want something complex to host, so I decided to set up Snac2 - https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2 . It’s super lightweight, easy to set up, and worked out of the box for what I was looking for.

Question to all you Gophers out there: How do you deal with custom errors that include more information and different kinds of matching them?

I started with a simple var ErrPermissionNotAllowed = errors.New("permission not allowed"). In my function I then wrap that using fmt.Errorf("%w: %v", ErrPermissionNotAllowed, failedPermissions). I can match this error using errors.Is(err, ErrPermissionNotAllowed). So far so good.

Now for display purposes I’d also like to access the individual permissions that could not be assigned. Parsing the error message is obviously not an option. So I thought, I create a custom error type, e.g. type PermissionNotAllowedError []Permission and give it some func (e PermissionNotAllowedError) Error() string { return fmt.Sprintf("permission not allowed: %v", e) }. My function would then return this error instead: PermissionNotAllowedError{failedPermissions}

At some layers I don’t care about the exact permissions that failed, but at others I do, at least when accessing them. A custom func (e PermissionNotAllowedError) Is(target err) bool could match both the general ErrPermissionNotAllowed as well as the PermissionNotAllowedError. Same with As(…). For testing purposes the PermissionNotAllowedError would then also try to match the included permissions, so assertions in tests would work nicely. But having two different errors for different matching seems not very elegant at all.

Did you ever encounter this scenario before? How did you address this? Is my thinking flawed?

This whole twitter thing got me motivated to code on the yarn desktop client.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I work with 3D and code at work every day, so I very rarely make 3D at home, but for the first time in a looooong time I felt like making something. I like the technical parts of it, setting up simulations, tinker with advanced materials and such things.

wanted to use my oculus to do some flightsimming on Friday, but now Meta forces you over to facebook. super annoying message that constantly pops up in the desktop client, but then after 10 minutes of flying they show the same message in fullscreen inside the VR glasses. so fuck them. I will try and get it to work on linux instead one day soon when I have time.

we went to the beach today, straight from work. was really nice, and water was great too! really nice day! our kids had a really nice time, and dog too :)

@prologic@twtxt.net i have the mangopi riscv, works well, but I will get this new milkv here next. I have not seen that nanopi before, cool! Always fun with new stuff :)

Hehe, as you all might have noticed - I test OS’es often. NixOS was too much of a pain to work efficiently in (the way I wanted), so hopped over to Fedora now. Got all my stuff working there now, as well as the desktop client. I really like how portable the code is, and how easy it is to compile on different os’es. Installed fedora with LXQT, I really like that desktop, I do not like gnome at all - I really dislike the way gnome works. LXQT is just what I need.

@prologic@twtxt.net that would work if it was using shamir’s secret sharing .. although i think its typically 3 of 5 so you get 3, one to the company, and one to the “third party”. so you can recover all you want.. but if the company or 3rd wants to they need one of your 3 to recover.

but still .. if they are providing them then whats the point of trusting they don’t have copies.

I setup Joplin with caddy as the WebDAV server. Works okay. The e2e encryption can get messed up sometimes. Supports markdown and images.

We have Monday off work again, going to be super nice with a long weekend again! :)

GTK4 libraries are not detected by cmake, even though I have it installed on my system. I’ve googled a bit - and others have solved it a bit differently. So I’ll try a couple of things to see if I can get it to work.

Also, got almost everything I use up and running on NixOS, last thing I need now is a way to develop directly on my source, I think I need to set up one of those development shell files for it, so that I then can work from vscode or kdevelop. Cmake is currently happy, and I tried to install everything on my system, but the ‘nix build’ works fine - but that pulls from remote repo, I want to compile the local edited source as I work on it.

I need to add multithreading to the desktop client, I have not done that before in c++ - so that’ll be fun to figure out. I need it for the fetching of the timeline so that it happens in a separate thread. That way the GUI does not freeze while fetching the timeline. Also need to add a status bar that can show what the application is working on.

@mckinley@twtxt.net not much, enjoying time off work and family time :)

Still undecided between TiddlyWiki, DokuWiki, Bear, Benotes, Memos, my blog software, standardnotes, apple notes and more. I like them all quite a bit, but standardnotes, the only one that has reall multiplatform is so fucking complicated to host on your own and then they have this stupid offline subscription thing that allows rich text or the block editor that works like notion. I also found codex docs which is really really nice. Unfortunately they lack proper authentication. 1 / 2

I have not used AI much at all, I have not paid any attention to it. But today I decided to give stablediffusion a test run, I do only have a 1080 card, so it took some tweaking to output 512x256 images, and I must say it works pretty well. I also had to get one of the memory optimized versions. Fun to test.

“…still working on the frugal priors though”

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, we had some discussion about it once it was announced. I said what I felt (And I do love VR - but for flight simulators etc) - but I just knew it would fail.
Especially when they showed the ridiculous screenshots that they where so proud of with the quality of 15 years ago.
And they they pushed it as a place to work or have meetings during the pandemic.. haha.
And they did not even use it themselves in the company.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oof, rust.. Glad I put that away. I do not think I’ll ever pick that up again unless I’m getting paid to work with it.

Trying to work out if it is possible to churn out an atom file to update mastodon with twtxt

One thing I did in another project was to use sqlite that had encryption. I might do that here as well. That would work well for this.

Worked a bit on the desktop client tonight, now I store username/pass/server url, but it’s insecure at the moment. I need to find a way to store it more securely.

@prologic@twtxt.net I will try and get that tonight. (Currently at work).

@funbreaker@twtxt.net I tested now against twtxt with a account I created -it segfaulted if you had a / at the end of the server url.. My bad.. works if you remove the slash. I will fix it in the client so that it removes the slash if it’s in the server url.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net it seems like the ssl verification works now, I enabled it - but also added another option as well that I now saw in the docs, and now it did not fail on my end (which it did before). I will add a ‘enable ssl verification’ checkbox (checked by default) so that those who do not need or want it for testing and such can disable it if they want.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net okay, so something goes wrong in the response you get. Hm. I see you use twtxt, ill check against there tomorrow and see if I can find the issue (midnight here now). Also ill work on better error output as well when I find the problem.
Thank you for testing!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Also - I agree with the rest of what you say. I just have a habit of making stuff work, then improve, but what you mention is somethig I need to be better at doing from the start, so I’m glad you mention these things. Also - the TLS check - it refused to connect if I have it enabled, and from what I saw online you need a copy of the servers cert locally to have that enabled, that’s at least what I found when I looked into it, but it’s worth a second look for sure. Pizza was great today, i’m stuffed! :)

I played around with parsers. This time I experimented with parser combinators for twt message text tokenization. Basically, extract mentions, subjects, URLs, media and regular text. It’s kinda nice, although my solution is not completely elegant, I have to say. Especially my communication protocol between different steps for intermediate results is really ugly. Not sure about performance, I reckon a hand-written state machine parser would be quite a bit faster. I need to write a second parser and then benchmark them.

lexer.go and newparser.go resemble the parser combinators: https://git.isobeef.org/lyse/tt2/-/commit/4d481acad0213771fe5804917576388f51c340c0 It’s far from finished yet.

The first attempt in parser.go doesn’t work as my backtracking is not accounted for, I noticed only later, that I have to do that. With twt message texts there is no real error in parsing. Just regular text as a “fallback”. So it works a bit differently than parsing a real language. No error reporting required, except maybe for debugging. My goal was to port my Python code as closely as possible. But then the runes in the string gave me a bit of a headache, so I thought I just build myself a nice reader abstraction. When I noticed the missing backtracking, I then decided to give parser combinators a try instead of improving on my look ahead reader. It only later occurred to me, that I could have just used a rune slice instead of a string. With that, porting the Python code should have been straightforward.

Yeah, all this doesn’t probably make sense, unless you look at the code. And even then, you have to learn the ropes a bit. Sorry for the noise. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org We use gitlab daily at work. but for my own projects I use gogs. I have some scripts that I used for a gnusocial client that I maintained (before leaving gnusocial). I’ll see if I can adapt that and make deb files for the yarn client - I mostly use debian \ Trisquel my self, so I also like .deb as well.

Moving my source to git today, I have just developed on a local copy until today.
I needed to move it before going too crazy with it. Starting the work on the timeline that I’ve mentioned.
Yesterday I ran out of time, but today I have some free time to work on things. Very pleased with the software already, I know I’ll use it all the time. So today I will work on refreshing the timeline, and then fix so that it’s a bit smarter then now, the class that holds the statuses will also contain the GUI elements for each status, that way I can more easily append new statuses into the timeline - instead of grabbing the whole timeline and rebuild all it’s gui each time it refreshes. I know what to do - so I do not expect it to take too long to fix.

Need to rework the timeline a bit, I want it to append new statuses after refresh, right now it fetches the whole timeline and just inserts it as a whole. So I’ll work on that alongside the refresh functionality.

So glad I switched to GTK4, so much easier to work with then FLTK.
