@bender@twtxt.net I guess all I can do is unblock the domain and sit down and rethink the “Discover” view’s design and behavior? hmmm 🧐 Alternatively, build a new yarnd 2.0? as a single-user pod only?

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I could get behind that. Define minimalistic though? What features (if any) would we drop? Would it be mobile-first or desktop-first?

@bender@twtxt.net I couldn’t agree more 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net I never see problems on my end, so I suspect this has to be Cloudflare doing this occasionally. I’ll have to poke around there again. At least I have a close enough timestamp :D Maybe message me your IP and approximate timestamp?

This happens more often than I would like. 😢

@prologic@twtxt.net now, the mention of multiuser pods brought an idea. What if you design, and code, single user pods that are extremely lean (extremely low processor, memory, and storage footprint), and brutally minimalist?

@prologic@twtxt.net I think trying to please everyone is a mistake. 😈

@prologic@twtxt.net “let it go, Indiana”. Evidently Assistant Professor Faria can’t—or doesn’t want to—engage in civil discourse. Using Her Majesty’s proper: fuck it!

I think multi-user pods were a mistake.

@dfaria@twtxt.net Sorry this has pissed you off so much (unintentional) – Also why the irrational outburst?! 😱 That’s no way to have discourse or help improve anything 🤦‍♂️

If you have ideas for improvement we’re all ears 👂

@dfaria@twtxt.net Cancelling is a strong word. I’d you follow your other feed yourself it’s still visible to you!

This whole exercise just reenforces that the idea of the “Discover” view was and is a terrible idea. 😢

I think I’ll be doing this again:

The source code of “DOS 4” was released:

https://github.com/microsoft/MS-DOS/tree/main/v4.0

Not without issues:

(Hence “DOS 4” in quotes, is it 4.00 or 4.01? Probably the latter.)

Well, there was one subtle bug: jenny did not fetch archived twts from your own feed (only from other people). I just happened to wipe all twts/cache from my disk, so I noticed that all my old stuff was missing. It’s a corner case, but it’ll be fixed in the next release.

We’ll have to see how this policy will be implemented, but I like that Gentoo is willing to take a stand.

Me too😅

Gentoo bands use of “AI” tools
Gentoo, the venerable Linux distribution which in my headcanon I describe as ‘classy’, has banned any use of “AI”. A proposal by Gentoo Council member Michał Górny from February of this year banning it use has been unanimously accepted by the Gentoo Council. The new policy reads: It is expressly forbidden to contribute to Gentoo any content that has been created with the assistance of Natural Language Processing artificial intelligence tools. This motion can be revisited, … ⌘ Read more

I just found out about last(1) and lastb(1) while wondering about /var/log/wtmp. This can come in handy! The filenames remain a bit mysterious: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/127211/why-are-utmp-wtmp-and-btmp-called-as-they-are

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wow! Better not mess up with that responsibility. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Hahaha, thanks for sharing, @bender@twtxt.net! :-D

IBM has realized it’s cheaper to buy Hashicorp than to buy Vault licenses

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, things like that can really make one ill.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I can’t think of a single one. Pretty lucky so far.

@bender@twtxt.net Holy cow, congrats on that title. I do have plugged in the more important equipment in a power strip with surge protection. The weird thing was, that only one of the monitors went black for a second. The other one (both are behind surge protection) remained operational the entire time. Maybe EMP? It was closer to the window than the other one.

I don’t know why or how, but using gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() has the desired effect (now?). Reading GTK’s source code is too convoluted to find out what’s going on here. I can’t find a corresponding Wayland protocol.

Sway gets very slow when resizing such a window, so I’m a bit inclined to think that GTK does some weird trickery to get this to work. 🤔

Either way, xiate now sets geometry hints again and floating windows have the correct size now. Finally.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 🤣 I saw this too and immediately thought

I have to stop using Terraform

🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Oh my 😱

Well, looks like I’ll be using IBM software after all … 🤣 https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-joins-ibm (We use Terraform.)
