@eaplmx@twtxt.net I think you can start with a running coat of around $20/yr

@darch@neotxt.dk Thanks for writing this up! 👌 I’ll put it somewhere appropriate (Bookmarked for now)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That’s pretty cool actually 😆

true

attempt to post from emacs (M-x eww) failed miserably lol, maybe need to figure out ‘eww’ right xD

@hacker-news-newest@feeds.twtxt.net You’re using the wrong kind of social media 😆

I’m thinking of operating a ‘twtxt . es’ pod (for content in spanish/español)

It’s gonna cost something like 100 USD/year (domain + hosting), nothing excessive, but I have some weird feeling about paying on stuff not being used that much. Thoughts?

@darch@neotxt.dk could also skip reboot and instead use systemctl start yarnd.service

@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com long week, huh?

I have used Windows OS for almost 30 years. I don’t dislike it that much. (And I use Android, iOS, macOS, -buntus, Debian, etc, at the same time)

But this week, I wanted to log in and I couldn’t use my PIN or Fingerprint for unknown reasons, and since I wasn’t using my password I forgot it. Damn, those strange cases where things don’t work as expected.

How to upgrade yarn.social running as a vultr app:

• download the latest binary from https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/releases
  
• systemctl stop yarnd.service
  
• cd /usr/bin/local
  
• cp yarnd yarnd_old
  
• upload yarnd to /usr/bin/local
  
• chmod +x yarnd
  
• reboot
  

Enjoy!

@prologic@twtxt.net @mutefall@twtxt.net Turns out, this is actually a thing: https://www.keppeldatacentres.com/innovations/floating-data-centre-park/

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Looking good, mate! :-)

@eaplmx@twtxt.net it’s only Tuesday and I already feel exhausted 😅

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Wow! 😳 Kudos to Google for listening to its users and community and not screwing us over 😂

@mutefall@twtxt.net That’s not such a bad idea 😂 Floating solar powered data center 😂

@mutefall@twtxt.net Good list 👌

@hacker-news-newest@feeds.twtxt.net Hmmmm

Conclusion: Is there anybody out there?

I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but it’s hard not to think that there is some truth to The Dead Internet Theory, i.e. the belief that the Internet is now empty and devoid of real people, and that everything is just bots talking to bots to generate content and clicks in order to get a share of the all-important and ever-growing advertising revenue5.

@marado@twtxt.net GPT-3 summarizes this as:

The European Parliament has passed a resolution on Artificial Intelligence with a majority of 495 votes in favor, 34 against, and 102 abstentions. The resolution includes many references to the advantages of Free Software and the FSFE is urging the Parliament to transfer its own position into the AI regulation.

Is this accurate? Is there a bit more to this? 🤔

lessons from xx years of self-hosting:

• build a community, not userbase
  
• bots cannot predict human folly
  
• you don’t need 42u of metal to serve a website
  
• communities grow best slow and organically
  
• quality > quantity
  
• automate as much as possible
  
• have your system(s) tell you what’s up || down
  
• add service(s) slowly, understand attack surface(s)
  
• sandbox || isolate pids and services when you can
  
• when stress > fun, revisit self-hosting

True, wish I had more though, I make do with two big and two small ones.

@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com the team switched from 5 to 4-day work last month, and it has been kind of strange. But since I’m giving classes on Saturdays, has been refreshing!

How have you felt of the switch?
