In the holiday spirit i have donned my Santa hat. (shamelessly stolen from @movq@www.uninformativ.de)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I wish they just muted them out instead of making it an awfully loud meep sound.

@prologic@twtxt.net day 6 is super easy if you have int64 and some binomial theory. Skip ahead for the easy stars and catch up!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it shouldn’t need a full bignum implementation right? Just some left and right shifts for the sq/sqrt and carry for the addition right?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It took a little over a minute on my machine.. i should try to make it multi threaded.. 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net The “game” will involve racing and exploding cake - I think he got inspiration from SuperTuxKart. So will see how far we can go. He’s only five still..

@eapl.me@eapl.me I have many fond memories of Turbo pascal and Turbo C(++). They really did have a great help system. And debug tools! Its rare for language docs to be as approachable. QBasic was great. As was PHP docs when I first came into web.

@jason@jasonsanta.xyz if you do see this.. Welcome back! 👋🏼

@movq@www.uninformativ.de haha! I’m sure they had fun working around stuff like nineight

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Dang. Really going overboard with this!

@prologic@twtxt.net I didn’t have to do much backtracking. I parsed into an AST-ish table and then just needed some lookups.

The part 2 was pretty easy to work into the AST after.

@prologic@twtxt.net oh snap!

@prologic@twtxt.net you must not have any friends with plex shares. I got one.

@prologic@twtxt.net I long ago moved my evernote content to joplin.

Obligatory Twtxt post: I love how I can simply use a terminal window and some very basic tools (echo, scp, ssh) to publish thoughts, as they pop up, onto the Internet in a structured way, that can be found and perhaps even appreciated.

@eapl.me@eapl.me This is cool Windows history. Thanks for sharing

@darch@neotxt.dk webmentions are dispatched from here https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/branch/main/internal/post_handler.go#L160-L169

@prologic@twtxt.net its not.. There are going to be 1000s of copy cat apps built on AI. And they will all die out when the companies that have the AI platforms copy them. It happened all the time with windows and mac os. And iphone.. Like flashlight and sound recorder apps.

@prologic@twtxt.net the new product was GPTs. A way to create tailored bots for specific use cases. https://openai.com/blog/introducing-gpts (fun fact: I did an internal hackathon where we made something like this for $work onboarding. And I won a prize!)

The competed project is poe https://quorablog.quora.com/Introducing-creator-monetization-for-Poe which is basically the same idea. Make a AI bot tailored to a specific domain of knowledge. And monitize it.

The timing fits very well as openAI announced it just a few weeks ago.

@prologic@twtxt.net the going theory is that openAI announced a new product that pretty much blew up the project of one of the board members. So that board member got 3 others to vote to fire Sam.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I played that DOS Tetris game too over and over on my PC, mezmerized over the 3D graphics.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks for reaching out - just general wonkiness with the Epson printing job configuration UI. They offer Fedora software, but it seems that not all features are supported

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I lasted for a long time.. Not sure where or when it was “got”. We had been having a cold go around with the kiddos for about a week when the wife started getting sicker than normal. Did a test and she was positive. We tested the rest of the fam and got nothing. Till about 2 days later and myself and the others were positive. It largely hasn’t been too bad a little feaver and stuffy noses.

But whatever it was that hit a few days ago was horrible. Like whatever switch in my head that goes to sleep mode was shut off. I would lay down and even though I felt sleepy, I couldn’t actually go to sleep. The anxiety hit soon after and I was just awake with no relief. And it persisted that way for three nights. I got some meds from the clinic that seemed to finally get me to sleep.

Now the morning after I realized for all that time a part of me was missing. I would close my eyes and it would just go dark. No imagination, no pictures, nothing. Normally I can visualize things as I read or think about stuff.. But for the last few days it was just nothing. The waking up to it was quite shocking.

Though its just the first night.. I guess I’ll have to see if it persists. 🤞

So now that I have a basic Twtxt form, I can also update my feed even when I am not on my PC.

@johanbove@johanbove.info Sounds interesting. It is only for reading or also posting?

Building a Twtxt Gui with some JS and HTML as an example application.

@eapl.me@eapl.me are ISPs still injecting code into HTTP in this the year 2023? I remember getting notices that my comcast modem is out of date pushed into websites back a decade ago.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci predicting weather is literally a step up from the 3 body problem into n-body chaos. AI is just statistics pushed up into chaos. The future of computing is indistinguishable from magical incantations

I think is part of the code by @eapl.me@eapl.me that I have based my project on. So try to ask him.

I just backed up my twtxt.txt data on a medium that will last for years if treated well: 4 sheets of paper.

@prologic@twtxt.net Perhaps we should add a meta flag to Twtxt to stop indexation by ChatGPT and consorts? I already use robots.txt for this.

Reading the backlog of my twtxt posts and it’s nice to be able to just delete some outdated things by editing a simple txt file.

Upgraded my Twtxt feed to 2023 with the twtxt.net twthash extension.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Are the apps on F-Droid better?

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve even added the twthash message hash to my Twtxt bash CLI script so I can properly answer here.

@prologic@twtxt.net Cool to see you’re still here too.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de time to write your own browser? Or at least a fork maintained outside the EU?

@prologic@twtxt.net in the article they say they have a p99 of 15ms reading historical data. Which is pretty nuts.. Aside from having close to 900TB of SSD…

@prologic@twtxt.net curious that this feed has a image from a 3rd party domain.

@mckinley@twtxt.net you got some radiation issues? I am guessing this is non ECC rams.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I wish more standardization around distributed issues and PRs within the repo ala git-bug was around for this. I see it has added some bridge tooling now.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have seen these screen shots. But have not yet seen them in actuality. I use ublockOrigin. Maybe it gets these too unlike adblock.

For android I have revanced.. The only place I get ads is on TV. I haven’t found a replacement there.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that and malformed XML errors were hostile AF to users that came across them.

@prologic@twtxt.net I do similar. Though probably much more simple.. I have CGNAT and use wireguard to VMs to punch through for stuff like HTTP/SSH from external.

And for SMTP I have smart hosts on the VMs that will store anf forward to my mailbox if the connection goes down.

@prologic@twtxt.net I find the L2 mode where you have one interface and multiple hosts to be tricky. Its best if you are trying to make a full mesh style. But then all hosts need to be able to see one another.

I have had more success using point-to-point connections where there are only two ends to each interface. It means you have a ton of interfaces and udp ports. but you can share the host IP across the interfaces. Add to that a simple router proto ala OSPF or RIP and you can navigate around not having a full meshnet.

I have dozens of localnet wireguard connections and many more connections to others that use bgp for route propagation.

@prologic@twtxt.net we need to finally break away from twtxt URLs and embrace @nick@server to webfinger lookups.

@prologic@twtxt.net what is the maxlen one should keep in mind here? Like say if I was charing the collected works of Shakespeare? Or maybe just a gpg keychain?

moved my yarn to a new server.. will see if it still has the slow cache issue.

cc: @prologic@twtxt.net

@prologic@twtxt.net I had a peering to NNTP back in the day. That would be neat to setup.

@prologic@twtxt.net took with my phones 10x zoom

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yah we had a clear day and lucked out.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de the true 7 bit ascii

@movq@www.uninformativ.de that is soo much traffic. I don’t think I have ever broken 1TB /mo across my VMS ever.

@prologic@twtxt.net was this in reply to a different thread? Or maybe a hash collision?

@prologic@twtxt.net laughs.. I’m in danger.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, do you have an example of conf.json in which I can see all the configuration possibilities? Thanks!

@prologic@twtxt.net I prefer online radio because of the large number of stations from all over the world :-)

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci excellent work on embedding the YO in Hello

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @prologic@twtxt.net neat.. I saw this one quite a while ago. it is strictly line of sight and blocked by walls or things. The use cases were to have it integrated in the lights in a room and provide super fast connections to devices in an office or coffee shop.

https://youtu.be/AKvvEqm9Nv4

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci my last experience with it was with a Debian package which is known for being out of date :-D

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

@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.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org do you need to have an explicit Is function? I believe errors.Is has reflect lite and can do the type infer for you. The Is is only really needed if you have a dynamic type. Or are matching a set of types as a single error maybe? The only required one would be Unwrap if your error contained some other base type so that Is/As can reach them in the stack.

As is perfect for your array type because it asserts the matching type out the wrap stack and populates the type for evaluating its contents.

@prologic@twtxt.net is goryon not in the google app store?

@prologic@twtxt.net The hackathon project that I did recently used openai and embedded the response info into the prompt. So basically i would search for the top 3 most relevant search results to feed into the prompt and the AI would summarize to answer their question.

@mckinley@twtxt.net ninja backup and Borg

@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.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de § after we pass the key over to the GOV cloud for our protection.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci buuuuut it show when winter!

In the time scale viewed from the planets perspective, the climate has changed many many times.. The issue is whether that change that will inevitability come is hospitable to us meat bags. Or if we are doomed to take part in the next mass extinction event.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net you think we could get media cards to show youtube previews?

@prologic@twtxt.net hey.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci read my new skibloreet about why social meets payments is the next level idea! For just §5 bitshlongs a month on my serfdomage site!

@shreyan@twtxt.net probably ~1k up to 1.5k. One I found had 64G ram and 12C / 16T for 1.1k

@prologic@twtxt.net have trued to get a RasPi lately? Them things are Unobtainium

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Ben Shapiro has plenty to be ashamed of not the least of which is selling his home to Aquaman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9FGRkqUdf8

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net any photos on how it turned out?

@shreyan@twtxt.net my condolences for the pain you no doubt will inflict upon others that will have to maintain whatever you write in Ruby.

@prologic@twtxt.net closed as in you have to be an account on their service to interact with others. And can’t communicate cross service. Some require you to be logged in to view content. Others will pop up annoying overlays after scrolling some content to sign up for more.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

twtxt, as I believe it was originally intended, are short little status updates – that’s it.

So, basically a .plan file for finger. But, on the web. like a *web*finger. We have come full circle on this loop!

We could ask them? But on the counter would bukket or jan6 follow the pure twtxt feeds? Probably not either way… We could use content negotiation as well. text/plain for basic and text/yarn for enhanced.

An option would be to have /twtxt.txt be the base functionality as bukket intended without subject tags, markdown, images and such truncated to 140 chars. a /yarn.txt that has all the extentions as we know and love. and maybe a /.well-known/webfinger + (TBD endpoint) that adds on the crypto enhancements that further extend things.

@darch@neotxt.dk I think having a way to layer on features so those who can support/desire them can. It would be best for the community to be able to layer on (or off) the features.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci that is an ironic example. Since the inventor of the seatbelt gave rights to use the technology freely.

@chunkimo@twtxt.net lol. go walrus!!

@prologic@twtxt.net I always liked bit.
I am disappointed that a GUI app would not at least have screenshots.

@prologic@twtxt.net it is from the generator. But in the actual go implementation methods are represented with a unsigned short. So 65k is the hard limit in go.

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club apparently someone that generates graphql endpoints for a biiiig app

@prologic@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net this description is applicable. As with PH.D so with this hyper focus.

@prologic@twtxt.net I get the worry of privacy. But I think there is some value in the data being collected. Do I think that Russ is up there scheming new ways to discover what packages you use in internal projects for targeting ads?? Probably not.

Go has always been driven by usage data. Look at modules. There was need for having repeatable builds so various package tool chains were made and evolved into what we have today. Generics took time and seeing pain points where they would provide value. They weren’t done just so it could be checked off on a box of features. Some languages seem to do that to the extreme.

Whenever changes are made to the language there are extensive searches across public modules for where the change might cause issues or could be improved with the change. The fs embed and strings.Cut come to mind.

I think its good that the language maintainers are using what metrics they have to guide where to focus time and energy. Some of the other languages could use it. So time and effort isn’t wasted in maintaining something that has little impact.

The economics of the “spying” are to improve the product and ecosystem. Is it “spying” when a municipality uses water usage metrics in neighborhoods to forecast need of new water projects? Or is it to discover your shower habits for nefarious reasons?

@prologic@twtxt.net short version: context is a linked list that is passed down a call stack that can share timeout, cancellation, or other data as needed by lower functions in the call stack.

@prologic@twtxt.net the rm -rf is basically what go clean -modcache does.
I think you can use another form that will remove just the deps for a specific module. go clean -r

@prologic@twtxt.net aha, a hater! Just the kind I was looking for some serious business that requires some fervent hating. Pay is good, you up to? :-D :-P

interesting that in my pod this is showing in reply to something.. but in the twtxt is has no subject.

@prologic@twtxt.net The parse is correct. this seems to be something with the markdown render.

@prologic@twtxt.net boo, boo, boooooo! :-D :-P

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci So.. The issue is that its showing the password by default? Would making an alias to always include the -c help? We can probably engage Jason with a PR to enable a more hardened approach when desired. I’ve spoken to him before and is generally a pretty open to ideas.

I found this app that was created by the gopass author that does copy by default and has a tui or GUI mode https://github.com/cortex/ripasso

@mckinley@twtxt.net i use pass along with the android and browser-pass clients. it is very good and keeping in sync is pretty simple.

@mckinley@twtxt.net very weird things going on for me.. i can see your twt but its not showing up as a reply or fork?
