@prx@si3t.ch Clonezilla is fantastic, such a great tool!

@prologic@twtxt.net @shreyan@twtxt.net been thinking about that too. Ill check on that before deciding.

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

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

@prologic@twtxt.net ah yes! Did you loose taste/smell? I lost smell and everything tasted like what a hot garbagecan smells like. Ugh.

@prologic@twtxt.net Always nice to get a day off and a short week 😀

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net I do not understand why they took it away in the first place, I absolutely hate ‘icon only’ on taskbar on a computer. Super annoying when working with many windows.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net That sounds nice! This weekend we’re going to celebrate my grandmother’s birthday (80) and my stepdad’s birthday (50). So it’ll be a lot of cake this weekend :)

How do I quit getting error 400 when I go to reply to anything? @prologic@twtxt.net ???

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hope you get some time to relax :)

I am going to try to install the twtxt Yellow extension from Søren - https://lien.sus.fr/iaxgN

@prologic@twtxt.net They have some markdown support that you can use, but I have not looked into that yet, I might check on that for clickable links in label.
I now just get all the attached links in each post, check for direct links to images, download them and show them as in the screenshot.

@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.

@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.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah, I keep my account too - do not want to get rid of it, but I do not post much anymore there at all, just retweet stuff I find interresting. Also I’m so boring there that I get almost no followers and such, never got any traction there, even though I’ve been there since 2008. I write more here then there, and get more response here as well.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Been thinking about leaving twitter recently, so much drama there. But I have not decided yet. It’s still a bit useful for me for getting my tech related news stuff and things like that, so I cannot get my self to leave yet.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah, that seems to be the case :)

@prologic@twtxt.net The good thing here at least is that you get back on your taxes if you loose money, so that helps a bit, and if you buy mining gear you can write some of the cost up as well etc. So it’s a pretty nice that they have done it that way here. The only downside is what I mentioned already - the complexity of filing it all.

@prologic@twtxt.net The one I actually use for something is Monero. I also mine it (asic resistant, mined with cpu). The others I just put some savings in every month. The whole pyramid scheme thing - I do not think much about honestly. Crypto is here to stay, won’t go away. And for me it’s better then stocks because I know nothing about stocks and such. I do not put much into it. I also had some NFT stuff that I minted - which I sold for 10x the price later on, but honestly - last year I gained as much as I lost, so it evened out to almost 0.

@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.

@prologic@twtxt.net is gonna be so mad at me for this but

Ruby is my favorite language

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah. Everything else on my taxes are already folled in. For crypto you need to add each and every transaction. The online service I use has api to each major exchange, pulls the data and crunches the numbers for you though. The problems start when you use decentralised exchanges or unsupported wallets etc. Took some hours to sort out on my end. But now I do not have to worry about it. 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net Woho! Good to hear!

@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!

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s been ruunning smooth sll night/day now.

@prologic@twtxt.net ooofff. Hope you get through it quick.

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net Yarn.social without threading (as it would be the case in a “truncated” feed) does not make sense to me.

Put another way: Yarn.social is not twtxt. The content that we all have in our feeds really is much closer to a web forum or usenet or whatever. It’s threaded conversations. twtxt, as I believe it was originally intended, are short little status updates – that’s it. The formats of Yarn.social and twtxt might be very similar, but the content is vastly different and, in a way, incompatible. (As such, I think I understand very well that the original twtxt crowd is disgruntled.)

That proposed truncated feed doesn’t really provide any value, if you ask me. 🤔 It’d just be chaotic.

@prologic@twtxt.net It did not crash today (after it did earlier today), I now compiled and updated to latest, I’ll let you know if it happens again.

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.

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

@funbreaker@twtxt.net good night! Sleep well!

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.

@shreyan@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net I like the way he did that interview, that way they cannot warp what’s being said etc.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net no need to feel dumb. This is why testing is nice! That being said - ill make a fix for that too :) this is why I appreciate you taking the time to test, because we have now found many things to improve already 😀

@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.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net Also, did you compile rapidjson from source? Or install the package with your OS? I built the latest version and installed that - if the problem continues now after I fixed the error on my end - then that might be the cause.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net I have pushed a fix now to git, I now got rid of the error when I use it on my end. I will create a test account on twtxt later tonight (after dinner and all that) if needed. If you test the latest on your end before that - let me know :) And thanks for your patience.

@prologic@twtxt.net no, its on my end.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net seems to be related to the way the timeline array is done. I will rewrite that part. I’ll start tomorrow.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net Ok, I saw that error here now as well - but it does not crash. I have put it in the issue tracker, I will fix it and let you know once I’ve tracked it down.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net thank you!

@prologic@twtxt.net haha yeah. I had a good laugh from that.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org thanks again! I’ll get those things sorted.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net Could you pull the latest code and rebuild? I have added SSL verification now.
If it still fails I’ll make a twtxt account and look into it more.

@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.

@prologic@twtxt.net thank you, found that as well. Had a read, and well.. behavior like that is not easy to deal with.

Given the continued hostility of jam6 and buckket over Yarn’a use of Twtxt (even after several years! 😱) I am continuing to face hard decisions.

I am not sure what to do about this. 🤔 I am quite confident that the hostility and sentiment is not held by all Twtxt users past and present 😢

This is a case of a few upset purists who prefer to mock, shame and behave passive aggressively instead of contributing to a healthy discussion and ecosystem.

I am uncertain what Yarn should do here 😢

@prologic@twtxt.net yes I will test it :) cloudflare is something I do not have on my end, so I never thought of that, so glad you mention that as a potential issue to solve. Ill check on it.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net yeah, that can be a issue. I will check some of these things tomorrow :)

@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!

@funbreaker@twtxt.net cool! Can you launch through terminal and check if it outputs the problem?

@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! :)

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

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

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org valid points and noted. 😀
It will improve shortly. I had not thought about quotes in password, so that was a nice catch that needs to be fixed.

@prologic@twtxt.net I will give it a shot today, that and to show attached images in the status would be great to have. I just need to figure out the curl for posting image, then the rest would be easy to implement :) I would use that a lot since I often post photos and such.

@prologic@twtxt.net hehe, yeah! That’s the way to get things done - use it daily, fix everything that needs to be fixed :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Great! Thank you!

@prologic@twtxt.net By the way - can I call my application ‘Yarn desktop client’? Is that OK with you? Or do you want it to have another name - but then have ‘a desktop client for yarn’ as information in readme etc?

@prologic@twtxt.net That sounds great! I’m looking forward to doing that too here! We also go to the local lakes and such when it gets warm enough! Always nice to spend time in the water :)

@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net nice! I want to upgrade on my x200 soon.

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net yay!

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club indeed, that is how I learned about that machine :)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I love ‘exotic’ computers, especially riscv. But one of the most prized computers I have is the Lemote Yeeloong, Loongson mipsel laptop - http://web.archive.org/web/20151220055337/http://www.lemote.com:80/en/products/Notebook/2010/0310/112.html , very cool machine, I cannot part with that one, gonna put in in my coffin when I die. Got a hold of it about 10 years ago, cost a lot, but it was worth it. I run openbsd on it, and have to compile everything on it. took over 2 weeks to compile sylpheed email client on it LOL.

@adi@twtxt.net Nothing really, I tried it in a VM a long time ago, never got to install it on HW, might give it a try again soon (I enjoy to set up my machines with various OS’es and test them etc).

@adi@twtxt.net Dragonfly BSD - that is one OS I have never run properly before - but I’ve always wanted too. Also not often at all I see that OS being mentioned ‘in the wild’.

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s mostly ready now I feel, got a lot done, so I’ll focus on getting it out there this week, A bit busy the next days, but I’m sure I’ll find time to get it uploaded and hosted on my VPS so that others can use it as well.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, good point. I will see if I can selfhost it in a good way, I’ll think about it for the next days, I’ll also create a subdomain on my website where I can put some info and git links and what not, nice to have a info page to link back to from the application.

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk Very grateful for the 5€/month donation, it’s paying my backup server Intel ATOM N2800 Kimsufi dedicated server. It’s running DragonflyBSD! :D

@prologic@twtxt.net thank you 😀

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thank you! Yeah I fixed that now, short statuses got shifted, but that has been fixed. :)

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

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

@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.

@prologic@twtxt.net I agree with you points, and I feel the same.
I currently run a gogs instance on my webserver, I’m putting my source there for now.
Currently registrations are disabled and such, I’m the only user, that is the main issue I think - people need to register to submit a change. and I do not want people to register on my own git instance either, so I have to think about it a bit.

@prologic@twtxt.net They mention them at 2.5 admins podcast all the time, seems pretty good. I have not used it though. But all I hear there is positive things.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sounds like a really nice day!

@chunkimo@twtxt.net thank you! Very pleased with it. I finally have vacation, got up early, took our dog for a long walk this morning, so now I can code a bit. I’ll complete the status entry gui today, so that I can post statuses, after that I need to add a tomer for refreshing timeline, and then some way to store some settings.

@prologic@twtxt.net Refurbished thinkpad from ebay is also a good option.

@chunkimo@twtxt.net Welcome!

Hi guys! My first ever Yarn post 😺 📦

I already think I am going to like this better than mastodon. My question is, is this federated… @support@twtxt.net ?? If so I am a lifer. Haha and I’ve been here 5 minutes 💖

I like to occasionally do some graphical artwork from time to time. For the first place to get all my art and other’s too check out XMPP at this address: xmpp:artwork@chat.toofast.vip?join

Another question, is this using markdown for markup? @thecanine@twtxt.net ?? Follow me back mateo! 😎

@funbreaker@twtxt.net No worries, I’m just glad to see that someone likes what I spend my time on.
Always fun to make something that someone else finds useful. I’ll definitely get it into a usable state as soon as possible.

@funbreaker@yn.vern.cc Hi! I have attached the current screenshot, as you see it’s not done yet, I need to add some things, but a lot of work is already done.
I will fix the remaining things and try to make it usable enough this week so that I can upload the source.
Need to add the remaining reply button, image loading and width of the text etc first.
I had that in the FLTK client, so I just need to add it to this new GTK gui.

Image

Here is what I had with FLTK
https://yarn.stigatle.no/twt/4nuoc7q

I did not have time to work on those things today, ran out of time. But I’ll resume tomorrow.

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

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

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, it would be nice to actually follow the conversations that goes on, that would indeed make it feel more useful.

@prologic@twtxt.net I like it, I get to follow some people I could not follow before, which I find useful.
But if you have second thoughts about it all - then I can understand that.
If you decide to pull the plug on it - then I’ll just get some additional activitypub service installed on my server and use that for that (I was thinking about installing this: https://github.com/tsileo/microblog.pub ) if needed.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah. I truly agree. I try to limit that as best I can. 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, no Microsoft account,I avoid that as best I can :)

@reddit_world_news@feeds.twtxt.net yay!

@prologic@twtxt.net thank you! Openbsd is also one of my target platforms. Want to have it in the ports tree there as well, but Ill get to that a bit later.

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net Exciting laptop! I would not mind having one of these.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org haha yeah! Got out and bought a better harness for him now, the one he had was a size too big, so got a new one now so that it wont happen again.
