There is also a real cost to allowing arbitrary media in original quality (up to the -U/--max-upload-size) and that cost comes to the end-user / viewer who may actually be paying for “Traffic” – I kid you not, we do this in Australia still today in #2021 – I wish I was making this up 🤦‍♂️

So that concluded the Brisbane Closed Competition 2021
 – Kate and I played well in the under <700 Doubles and we came second! (not my wife Kate, different Kate 😂) – I played really well in the under <700 Singles as well, got to the quarter finals then got beaten by a Steve 😳 (who used my lack of sight against me in the end, but that’s okay, he admitted he did, but it was a great 5-set match!)

Overall a really good great day of competition and much fun! 🤣 #BrisbaneTTQ #2021

🎄 So Christmas begins! 🎄

Last year my girls did these Advent of Christmas things:

This year is no different! 😁

Last year I did the Advent of Code challenge 👨‍💻 This year will be no different! 🤣 — Starts in 8hrs from now for me.

Who will join me? 🤔 I will be Yarning all my solutions 😅

#AdventOfChristmas #AdventOfCode #2021

Also @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com – There is no reason whatsoever we can’t release yarnd v1.0 now. We are not making any backwards incompatible changes whatsoever, and in fact I don’t really like building software that breaks the world anyway (I try really hard. not to). So we can release v1 – Maybe as a #2021 Xmas present to us all 😅

Sorry I couldn’t be bothered finding the Twt and replying to that Yarn 😂

The teenagers and the nun trying to stop an Australian coal mine - BBC News

My next door neighbor shares this piece with me 👌

“It’s the argument that if this particular coal project didn’t go ahead, it wouldn’t make a difference to the total amount of emissions because effectively the market would fulfill that demand. That’s otherwise known as the drug dealer’s defence - it’s the idea that ‘If I don’t deal drugs then somebody else will.’”

😳 Our Government needs to hire better lawyers 😂

Congrats to Ms Sharma 👏 Job well done! 🙇‍♂️

I guess we really can make a difference if we try 🥳

I hope the Australian government’s appeal FAILS 🤞

#2021 #NewYearsEve

📣 NEW: Releases - yarn - v0.11.0

Hello Yarners! 🤗

Happy New Year! #2021 #NewYearsEve 🥳

For those of you that live on this side of the planet, Welcome to #2022 🥳

This year in Yarn we have a brand new version of yarnd
for you all with exciting new features! 🥳 Some of you have already been using them! 😅

Highlights:

• NEW Peers try to validate the authenticity of injected Twts between peers.This has finally #resolved the issue with my Avatar that kept reverting back and forth 😂
  
• NEW New refresh Metadata field added to the Metadata ext allowing feed authors to manually hint to clients as to how often their feeds should be fetched.
  
• NEW Moving Average Feed Refresh (currently in experimental) feature (Enable with moving_average_feed_refresh) that automatically backs off fetching/refreshing feeds based on an exponential moving average of feed’s update frequency. This helps to reduce traffic to pods and external feeds but keep the network convergent within 60s to 10m (on-pod are always instantaneous) 🚀
  
• NEW Improvements to the yarnc timeline command to support -r/--reverse and -n/--twts 🧑‍💻
  
• NEW Support for pruning old dead accounts a multi-user pod might accumulate. This sends an email to the Pod Owner on a weekly basis and uses a heuristic score ranges from 1000 (every user) to 2993 (users who have never posted, never updated any part of their profile). A Poderator (Pod Owner/Operator) is sent a weekly candidates of up to 10 users with a score > 1200 for consideration. 👻
  
• NEW Active Users. Pods now measure two key metrics a Poderator can track, Daily Active Users (DAU) and Monthly Active Users (MAU). These are only accurate to a day. 📈
  
• NEW New followers tracking that is now actually accurate and is pruned once-per-week. So now your “Followers” count, even across pods will be accurate and up-to-date 🥳
  
• FIXED Finally squished that annoying bug 🐞 causing profile data to flip-flop
  
• FIXED The LookupHandler() was fixed to support auto/tab-completion for external feeds! 🥳
  
• UPDATE Update Chinese and Taiwanese translations! 🇨🇳 🇹🇼
  

Big thanks to @gbmor for driving the need for some much needed network optimizations!
Thanks again to @ullarah for the many UI/UX updates and improvements! 🙇‍♂️
And thank you again to @venjiang for updating the CN and TW translations! 👌

As per usual, please provide feedback to @prologic@twtxt.net or reply to this Yarn 🤗
