@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Broke on me for having alt-urls I think 🥲

twtxt---profile-layout: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, ("https://aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt" "gemini://box.aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt" "gopher://box.aelaraji.com/0/twtxt.txt")

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, maybe. What browsers are you using again for these two?

@mckinley@twtxt.net And there is the bracketed text duplication bug again… Actually with lots of twts. Did you edit a twt? Do you remember? /cc @prologic@twtxt.net

@mckinley@twtxt.net b

@bmallred@staystrong.run Surprisingly, my

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

seems to work. Or maybe those bastards change their user agent and claim to be someone nice. In any case, I just added a bunch of

location = /robots.txt {
    add_header Content-Type text/plain;
    return 200 "User-agent: *\nDisallow: /\n";
}

in my nginx config. No need for any bot to visit, crawl and index most of my sites.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Photographic memory, eh?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I also thought that I have a new Linux friend the other day. But it was just a fake KDE look from Redmond. :-(

Totally agree @jost@jost.sdfeu.org @prologic@twtxt.net

I have uploaded a new version of #twtxtel 🥳. It’s now possible to view profiles, either your own or others. #twtxt #emacs

Did you want to mine Chia? Or Twtxt Coin? 😂

@jost@jost.sdfeu.org Happens to everybody. 😂 Well, except for a few people. I have this colleague at work who remembers everything. It’s scary. 😅

@jost@jost.sdfeu.org Yeah, this AI crap is a big reason not to blog.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev The article is a good reminder of the true blogging mindset. But let’s try to think beyond. 2 ideas: (1) writing “forces clarity, structures your thoughts, sharpens your perspective”. But it also generates thoughts in the sense of Heinrich von Kleist (1805). (2) You’re writing for “the future you, one right person, one day” but you are also writing for the AI. The idea of AI as an audience.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It happens to the best of us :-) On a more serious note: I’m relieved to hear that I’m not the only one who is completely perplexed by his own projects when returning back to them after a short hiatus.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So they say. :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net Ha,ha :-) I do not maintain anything! In the context of that post I was just an ordinary citizen. So the ‘we’ refers twice to “we, the citizens of the Baltic States”. (Classical case of social media ‘talk at cross purposes’. Now I understand, why they do this Introduction-thing over on mastodon ;-)

@xuu@txt.sour.is Why? To both issues:

@prologic@twtxt.net we need to remove: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/go-lextwt/src/branch/main/ast.go#L776-L784

apparently i can’t make the edit via gitea.. i am guessing its hitting one of your firewall rules.

@xuu@txt.sour.is da fuq?!

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Awesome! I’ve seen the demo earlier on mastodon, things are getting better and better with each update 👌 Good luck!

I’m realizing that my performance bottleneck is @prologic@twtxt.net ! It is actually calculating the hash to make the replicas, and specifically users with very long feeds 😂 . I’m seriously thinking about enabling replies via configuration.

I have infinite scroll now! I can finally focus on replies and mentions 😋

Video

Look at the size of this coffee!!! 😱

Well, that’s another bug: The search https://twtxt.net/search?q=%22LOOOOL%2C+great+programming+tutorial+music%22 yields the wrong hash. It should have been poyndha instead.

@prologic@twtxt.net hmm this isnt right..

@prologic@twtxt.net hmm this isnt right..

@thecanine@twtxt.net Lol… I just don’t change my default profile pictures. (Well, only when my teammates ask me to.)

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Haha, that’s great! :-D

hmm interesting work here.. ill give it a look.. @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org do you know if it is even storing the url into the AST object? afair the code to parse tags url should be the same as the mention url.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Some precious cloud space. Probably the Atlassian one.

How does one end up with an avatar of that weird size to begin with? :-D

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Do you want me to reconfigure my nginx to look at the User-Agent in order to serve you a different file for the time being? ;-) Good luck with your paper!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Open-plan offices are just a giant mistake. I’ve never seen a single working one where people can actually concentrate. Except when I was the first one around in the morning.

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Looks like something for /dev/null.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Schön mal noch eine Querreferenz zu haben. Danke!
Beide O-Maten haben ähnlich Ergebnisse für mich. Das bestätig mich in meiner bereits getroffenen Wahlentscheidung für den 23. Februar.

@arne@uplegger.eu Der Real-O-Mat ging neulich auch rum: https://real-o-mat.de/ (Ändert bei mir im Ergebnis nix, die Antworten/Begründungen sind aber interessant(er).)

While I now have a somewhat working fix for it in yarnd (https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/pulls/1232), I also have the feeling that I should fix literal formatting in lextwt as well. This also uncovered more bugs I believe: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/go-lextwt/pulls/28

But then there is also the question why the textarea is populated with @<url> in the first place rather than @<nick url> or yarnd’s own @nick@domain/@nick syntax. It indeed has to do something with whether I follow the mentioned feed or not.

Anyway, something to investigate for future Lyse or maybe @prologic@twtxt.net and/or @xuu@txt.sour.is. G’night!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This time it works! (For the first time). Using mutt, yes, and the config is yours. I’ll contact you later, when I have more data. Some time needed to experiment. Thanks!

@jost@jost.sdfeu.org Hmm, not really, no. Could you share your mutt config? (Are you using mutt?) Feel free to send me an email, if doing this over twtxt doesn’t work (yet). You can find the address on https://www.uninformativ.de/contact.html ✌️

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net I can reproduce this locally, too. But it doesn’t matter if I follow the feed or not. With JS enabled, hitting “Reply” opens a textarea with @<url>. Submitting this writes @<domain url> instead of @<nick url> in the feed.

However, when I have JS disabled, “Reply” jumps to the top of the page, but the the textarea is at the bottom. So, after scrolling down, the textarea is not filled with anything. Which is expected I reckon. Entering @nick@domain or just @nick resolves to the correct @<nick url> in the feed.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I sadly agree.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Whether in the office or at home, I get nothing done. ;-) Well, while this is almost true, I actually tried to respond to the other thread I started myself, but starting the editor it switched immediately to this one. Any idea why this happens?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So true! Either I’m hanging around with my direct teammates socializing in person in a meeting room or some other workmates are making so much noise in the open-plan office that I cannot concentrate at all. In any case, completely unproductive. :-D Luckily, I very rarely have to go to the office.

@bender@twtxt.net Bwhahahahaaaahaaaahaaaaahaaaaaaa! :-D Oh man, my cheeks are hurting and eyes are watering. :-D I love it!

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Yes! The first part about the history was my favorite. Not that the second one about finding life on Mars wasn’t interesting, no, not at all! But maybe it’s just that Earth is a bit more relatable. :-) I’m sure they will dig up something eventually.

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net right. I don’t follow you. I will restart following you once Yarn has fixed this problem. :-P

@bender@twtxt.net Every base is base 10.

@bender@twtxt.net Every base is base 10.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it. The beginning part about the history of life on Earth was fun to watch having just read Dawkin’s old book The Selfish Geene, and now I want to read more about archaea. The end of the talk about what might be going on on Mars made me a bit hopeful someone will find some good evidence.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The light pollution map reports red for my town. That’s fairly accurate, I’d say. The view from home is not all that great. Yeah, I can see Ursa Major and a bunch of other stars. Maybe even some satellites. But there’s definitely a sky glow at the horizon.

When I leave town, I can see a bit more. However, it doesn’t compare to the alps or even some rural parts in Australia. The latter was by far the craziest I’ve ever seen in my life. Looked like a space telescope photo in person. Soooooooooooooo many stars and the band of the milky way was easily visible to the naked eye. Up until then, I didn’t even know this was remotely possible down on earth. Absolutely stunning. :-)

@johanbove@johanbove.info Ours also inlcudes the streaming portal https://www.filmfriend.de
It’s nice to watch some arthaus and off main stream movies.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk It depends on your requirements. If you just want to put your code somewhere for yourself, simply push it over SSH on a server and call it good. That’s what I do with lots of repos. If you want an additional web UI for read access for the public, cgit comes to mind (a mate uses that). Prologic runs Gitea, which offers heaps more functionality like merge requests.

@jost@jost.sdfeu.org Hello jost!

@prologic@twtxt.net Go just moved back to second place. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice! I would have missed the plane if you hadn’t pointed it out. :-) Venus is very visible these days. When a mate and I went on a night walk during clear sky this week, the night sky looked really great, it was easy to spot the second planet. We got lucky, ISS just passed above our heads, too. Most of the week, it was cloudy, though.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, that’s a good one! :-D I came across this one before, but couldn’t remember the answer.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m gonna give you a hint: Octal, decimal. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That is a good one! It took me 15 minutes to get it. 🤓

@prologic@twtxt.net In the EU there are Laws, Rules and Regulations for many things. I’m not an expert, but your case may sound like it could match to the EU Digital Services Act.

[…] for example, the obligation to establish points of contact for authorities and citizens […]

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Es ist immer noch so ähnlich. Da kommen so viele verschiedene Ebenen innerhalb und außerhalb der TYPO3-Umgebung zusammen, dass man sich wundert.

Und die TYPO3-Core-Entwickler nehmen gefühlt jeden fancy Shice mit, den sie gerade finden. Das reißt dann immer wieder Prozesse ein oder es muss ein gigantischer Aufwand betrieben werden, damit “grundlegende” Funktionen wieder hergestellt werden.
In den Kommentaren ist dann immer nur zu lesen “Tja, Pech. Gibt’s nicht mehr. Sei froh, dass wir ‘ne undokumentierte Schnittstelle dazu im Code versteckt haben. Bau’s dir selbst.”
Und der OpenSource-Gedanke ist bei einigen Erweiterungen (die als Quasi-Standard gelten) auch nur noch zu erahnen. Da müssen teilweise Abos abgeschlossen werden, damit einige Funktionen genutzt werden können.

Es wird auf jeden Fall nie langweilig.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Wazzaaaaa… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsJLhRGPv-M

That’s my alt-feed by the way! 😉

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The one in question is more like the javascript version for unwrapping errors when accessing methods.

 const value = some?.deeply?.nested?.object?.value

but for handling errors returned by methods. So if you wanted to chain a bunch of function calls together and if any error return immediately. It would be something like this:

b:= SomeAPIWithErrorsInAllCalls()
b.DoThing1() ?
b.DoThing2() ?

// Though its not in the threads I assume one could do like this to chain.
b.Chain1()?.Chain2()?.End()?

I am however infavor of having a sort of ternary ? in go.

PS. @prologic@twtxt.net for some reason this is eating my response without throwing an error :( I assume it has something to do with the CSRF. Can i not have multiple tabs open with yarn?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org would it work wit cats instead? there has been a whole flock of them in the neighborhood the last couple of days, one female and a gazillion males taking turns 😅 … at least they’d be good for something other than their non-stop after midnight opera 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net Which one? I don’t mind the ternary operator at all. In fact, I often find myself missing it in Go. I don’t find the two alternatives particularly elegant:

foo := "eggs"
if bar {
    foo = "spam"
}

Or:

var foo string
if bar {
    foo = "spam"
} else {
    foo = "eggs"
}

To my eye, this just would look a lot nicer:

foo := bar ? "spam" : "eggs"

Or at least as the Pythons do it:

foo = "spam" if bar else "eggs"

The ternary operator especially shines with relatively short expressions.

@arne@uplegger.eu Ohjemine, TYPO3! O_o Lass mich schreiend davonlaufen!

Mit dieser absoluten Katastrophensoftware vor dem Herrn haben wir mal ein Studienprojekt gemacht. Die hat alle Vorurteile komplett übererfüllt. Angefangen von Fehlerseiten, die statt 4xx oder dergleichen immer mit HTTP 200 ausgeliefert wurden oder auch, dass das generierte HTML leider einfach ungültig war. Über die Implementierung von Löschen durch einen Deleted-Schalter in der Datenbank, das Speichern von Passwörtern im Klartext bis hin zu völlig umständlichen Bedienungskonzepten. Alles hat immer brutal viele Schritte gebraucht. Das Zeilennummernrumgeeier im TYPO-Script erinnerte eher an Basic. Uns kam es auch so vor, als ob man damit nicht ernsthaft was sinnvolles machen könnte.

Zu allem Überfluss hatte irgendwer noch ein ganz hundsmiserables Buch ausgegraben, das als Vorbereitung dienen sollte. Ich kann mich zum Glück weder an den Titel noch den Autor erinnern, aber ich weiß noch, wie das komplett inkonsistent geschrieben war. Anfangs gabs mehrere Seiten zu Unicode und UTF-8 wurde angepriesen, aber alle Beispiele haben dann auf ISO-8859-1 gesetzt. Gezeigter Beispielcode war häufig unterste Schublade. Selten hab ich so merkwürdige Erklärungen gelesen: „Wenn Sie die Sicherheitswarnhinweise stören, kommentieren Sie doch bitte im Quelltext die die()-Funktion in $ZEILE aus.“ Oder ein anderer Klassiker: „Ausgeschrieben würde der Code wohl folgendes tun…“. War sich der Autor also nicht ganz sicher, ob sein Codeschnipsel vllt. doch in Wahrheit was ganz anderes tut.

Seit diesem gigantischen Trauma (das hat mich wirklich sehr nachhaltig geprägt, wie man Dinge nicht machen sollte) hab ich erfolgreich einen Bogen um das TYPO3-Universum gemacht.

Ich kann nur hoffen, dass es zwischenzeitlich ein wenig besser geworden ist. Aber Deinem Kurzbericht zufolge scheint da ja immer noch der Wurm drin zu sein. Mein Beileid! :-(

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org one time i saw that operator when working with ruby on rails and i was so confused by it that i got stuck on the same code involving it for 9 hours straight

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh yeah i forgot to mention i changed the domain to pinktape lol! sorry about that! https://pinktape.girlonthemoon.xyz/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah i get so nervous doing version upgrades, this is technically my first time not doing it as a fresh install from a live USB, so i’m glad this went smoothly lol. scared to try it for my servers though!

@Prologic@twtxt.net Threema states the findings of that security research are all plugged. Still reading on it. Truth is that my family is difficult to get away from WhatsApp. And yes, I plan to buy them a license key.

@Prologic@twtxt.net Looking at Threema because it is European with servers in Switzerland and it has GDPR conformity, among some other reasons.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “Sommer ist der schönste Tag im Norden”. :D

Heute war ich mit dem Ziehkind in der Stadt unterwegs.
Mitten beim Eisschlecken fährt die Polizei in einem zivilen Wagen quer durch die Fußgängerzone. An der Bank am Markt dann weitere Uniformierte und kein Einlass für Kunden.
Da mussten wir uns in der Stadtbibliothek erst einmal Material zu dem Thema besorgen.

@prologic@twtxt.net part fun part exhausting lol!

@lukas@lukasthiel.de Willkommen bei Twtxt! 😘

Danke an @arne@uplegger.eu, der mich hier in einen komplett neuen Kosmos gebracht hat! Ich bin gespannt!

@prologic@twtxt.net Believe me, I’ve yapped on twtxt in the last couple of moths more than I did anywhere else within the past +5 years in all other platforms together. 🤣 Here, is the only place I can be myself which I have all of you to thank for.

@prologic@twtxt.net Or databag self-hosted on a RaspberryPi you can throw on a corner of your basement (or a small vps if one is willing to pay for threema) and never look back. The hardest part is getting others to at least test anything other than the already mainstream apps.

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, easy just crop it! [TW] 😆

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Sweeeeet! Just gave it a try, you’ve done a wonderful work 🫡 I wanted to replay from there but couldn’t go past the first page of the feed. It kept freezing on me and complaining about some bad Url (as mentioned on the test twt), so I’ll have to dig through my follow list and see where I effed up this time. 😅

Here’s a twt from @andros@twtxt.andros.dev ’s new version of Twtxt-el 🥳 It feels WAaaaaY better! although it freezes on me as soon as I navigate to the next page complaining about some bad url, but the chronological sorting of the feed as well as the navigation buttons (links?) are a great addition. Looking forward to the next update already! 😁 🥳🥳🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net I believe @andros@twtxt.andros.dev is referring to the one on the original twtxt docs . I’ve been meaning to contribute to the discussion on the git but I’m just lazy 😅 amma throw in a little something in a minute Poke a bee hive and run away style 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net I’d stumbled upon #FrankenPHP while reading through #Caddy stuff and thought maybe it’s bit overkill for what i need it for but then again, it will be just a “One container in for two out”, that’s win in my book 😆

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz franz von stuck is one of my fave artists and i was so delighted to see one of his pieces displayed in person but i got separated from my family when i saw it and just barely got a pic before my sister dragged me back to follow them away T__T next time i will see if the met has more of his art… https://remix.girlonthemoon.xyz/u/accendio/m/franz-von-stuck-inferno-1908/
