@prologic@twtxt.net thank you! And same to you and your family :) christmas tree is ready, food in the oven, gonna be nice tonight :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, they have that here too, couches and such, you pay extra for that. But they have 5 halls, and we went to the smallest one. Luckily not sitting next to anyone sick :) haha, but yeah, it crossed my mind.. Have not caught anything recently, and a bit risky to go to packed places right before Christmas, but it went fine this time :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, it costs a lot here too (500 NOK for tickets for 2 adults and 2 kids), and about 200 NOK for some candy there.. (2 sodas, and 2 other items).. But we do not do it often, so I do not think too much of it.
But yeah, it costs a lot.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So.. i eventually made it to the end on this one.. was able to reuse code from days 8 and 9!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hehe, we won :) but they did good!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very nice!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de so the pathfinding puzzle has arrived?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you are probably right.. there seems to be a final 10 trend found over on Reddit.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ooff, same here :(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de tossing around inline ASM for the AoC..

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.. 🤔

Executed in   68.96 secs    fish           external
   usr time   60.84 secs  242.00 micros   60.84 secs
   sys time   12.52 secs  252.00 micros   12.52 secs

@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.

@johanbove@johanbove.info With pygame or something else? 🤔

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

I am back on twtxt for now. I am using twtwt client. Don’t think that it does replies so I should try jenny with mutt again.

@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.

Day 3 of #AdventOfCode puzzle 😅

Let’s go! 🤣

Come join us! 🤗

👋 Hey you Twtxters/Yarners 👋 Let’s get a Advent of Code leaderboard going!

Join with 1093404-315fafb8 and please use your usual Twtxt feed alias/name 👌

Twtxt/Yarn AoC > Leaderboard

@xuu@txt.sour.is Ah, you went with the “scanning” approach as well. I did that, too.

It’s quite surprising to see (imho) how many people on reddit started substituting strings (one becomes 1 etc.). That makes the puzzle much harder by introducing nasty corner cases.

(Maybe I was just lucky this time to pick the correct approach right from the start. 🤣 Or maybe it’s a bit of experience from doing past AoC events …)

~22h to go for the 3rd #AdventOfCode puzzle (Day 3) 😅

Come join us!

👋 Hey you Twtxters/Yarners 👋 Let’s get a Advent of Code leaderboard going!

Join with 1093404-315fafb8 and please use your usual Twtxt feed alias/name 👌

Twtxt/Yarn AoC > Leaderboard

@prologic@twtxt.net oh snap!

Starting Advent of Code today, a day late but oh well 😅 Also going to start a Twtxt/Yarn leaderboard. Join with 1093404-315fafb8 and please use your usual Twtxt feed alias/name 👌

@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.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net I feel like this is a bit of a common pattern? Company builds an awesome product, makes it free for a lot of users, then create additional features and paid plans, makes a tonne of money. But then later decide they need to make more money, so focus on converting the free users to paid users. Hmmm 🤔 Surely this can’t be the only viable business model? 🤔

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

Okokok, I added my twtxt link on my sites social media icon section

@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

I have added a webmention endpoint to https://darch.dk using https://webmention.io - let see if it work from neotxt.dk to @sorenpeter@darch.dk

@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. 🤞

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m also on the e-mail wagon here. On http://darch.dk/timeline/conv/oe3howa I have added a “Comment via email” botten if uses are not logged in. This feature could be extend to other places in the various UIs. Like we already got the “Does not follow your” / “Follow you” on the profile page in yarnd, so this detection could be used to sugget the user to email that person, when mentioning them.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Which problems are those? 🤔

The only “advanced” Tetris I played back then was “Block Out”:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpeSH6pbio4

Except it didn’t run nearly as smooth as in this video. 😅

I’ve been thinking of how to notify someone else that you’ve replied to their twts.

Is there something already developed, for example on yarn.social?

Let’s say I want to notify https://sour.is/tiktok/America/Denver.txt that I’ve replied to some twt. They don’t follow me back, so they won’t see my reply.

I would send my URL to, could be, https://sour.is/tiktok/replies?url=MY_URL and they’ll check that I have a reply to some of their twts, and could decide to follow me back (after seeing my twtxt profile to avoid spam)

Another option could be having a metadata like
follow-request=https://sour.is/tiktok/America/Denver.txt TIMESTAMP_IN_SECONDS
that the other client has to look for, to ensure that the request comes from that URL (again, to avoid spam)
This could be deleted after the other .txt has your URL in the follow list, or auto-expire after X days to clean-up old requests.

What do you think?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org hm, thanks for letting me know, unsure why it’s slow, it’s a VPS I rent. I’ll check on it from my end later.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah yes, I zoomed all the way back to get a wide image. Yeah - he’s pretty big :)

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

@prologic@twtxt.net sunrise ;) was nice this morning, one of the best things with this time of year.

@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.

@prologic@twtxt.net 😁

@prologic@twtxt.net https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristiansand

@prologic@twtxt.net I only use it so that family that follow me can see the images I post.
I do not browse around and spend time there, just check what family and friends have posted.
But still - makes me mad that they put that tracking infront of a paywall like that.
Hate putting money in zuckerberg’s pocket.
Same with VR - you need a meta account to use the oculus.. and you get full screen notification inside the VR headset if you do not use that.. Luckily there is a trail going on in Norway now..

@prologic@twtxt.net NOK, so about 15 usd

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.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, it worked fine when It installed from mirror :) I had same issue in virtualbox. I suspect its the same problem. But now I have it installed the way I like it, encrypted, and lxqt desktop on my laptop.

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?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I checked the local police twitter, and they always post if it’s important stuff. And due to it’s location I’m sure other heard it as well when it happened. I’m thinking maybe it was a deer hit by a car or something that needed to be neutralized.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org they did not shoot the dog, some other animal.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de Very good for mind and body!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, I had a experience this weekend as well, a dog was barking in the forest, sounded like something was wrong (it’s a fairly public area), I then continued my walk, and Nanook got more and more nervous, I then continued the walk, and Nanook froze. I could still hear the dog barking quite close. And then someone shot a rifle. I’m glad I did not walk up to where that dog was, I kinda wanted too, because I first thought maybe something was wrong. But it honestly weirded me out that they did this in such a place as they did, almost called the cops to be honest to check with them, but I did not at the time..

@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…

You can now click on a nick in the desktop client to open their twtxt file in browser.

@eapl.me@eapl.me Hope you get well soon! :)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice! Always nice to do a walk, and fun to test stuff like GPS and such :) I’ve been walking a bit as well today, but also had some nice time at home, I work a bit this weekend, so I’ve spent some time on that. But also we went to the mall and such. Now we’re baking pizza. And will watch a movie or something when the kids has gone to sleep tonight. :)

@mckinley@twtxt.net Never used that. i typically just use official debian testing image to install with.

@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 😂

@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.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow! Very nice!

@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.

@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net I want one of these next time Im upgrading my GPU

Oh okay, so Youtube is cracking down on “Ad Blockers”. Rightio. 🤔 And paying for Youtube Premium costs $14/month?! 🤯 Get fucked 🤣 I guess I won’t be using Youtube anymore. #Youtube #Ads #Premium #Suck

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

@prologic@twtxt.net Weather sucks here today, but I have a long walk planned for this afternoon (want a tired dog tonight :)
I’ll walk by the cannon museum that we have close to where I live (I often walk there).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristiansand_Cannon_Museum

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you for doing that! :)

I added the Yarn Desktop Client and Goovy Twtxt to the landing page for Yarn.social

cc @mckinley@twtxt.net @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no

@prologic@twtxt.net https://github.com/stig-atle/YarnDesktopClient

@prologic@twtxt.net that would make me proud. Ill add more description and screenshots to the readme so that people can see more easily what it looks like etc. I also want to make ready packages for it, and see if I can crosscompile for windows as well.

@prologic@twtxt.net I do that now, and all that works, it’s just that I do not (currently) check it multiple times, in the test I did it completed as soon as the image was uploaded. But yeah I have to do some more with that for bigger files for sure. I’ll look into that next.

@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?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it worked yesterday, but today hes all over the place, not calming down much. We’re going to burgerking later today, so he’ll get some crate time in the car then (he always relaxes when he’s in the car).

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

cc: @prologic@twtxt.net

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice! I just came home from a long walk myself. Walked through the forest, and then by the roads. Now the dog is sleeping. I like to wear him out a bit in the weekends so that we get some proper ‘time off’ in the evening etc :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure, I’ll do that!
Thank you so much, I’ll start working on getting it into the client tonight.

@prologic@twtxt.net - I do not want to nag about it - but did you find some way to post image through curl? (Or could you share the almost-working solution that you tried?), if you have not had time - then that’s fine too. I want to start looking into it again :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, so hard to just get along. It’s been conflict there for a long time, but still… What would it take for it to end?
