@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz which was your last post? š
help why didnāt my last post go through
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz you are OK. Taking a deep breath, everythingās gonna be irie, mon. š
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i just did the migration to stuff on the cacher branch so iām like WHAT IS HAPPENING
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz oh ok i think itās slowly rebuilding stuff
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I CANāT SEE TWTXT.NET ANYMORE?! WHATāD I DO IN THE MIGRATION HELP LOL
test can anyone see this pls reply if u can
@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh dear lord, take it away, take it away! LOL.
@thecanine@twtxt.net Yeah this is where I think all the hype really falls down. Itās all just a really really expensive search engine and auto-complete š¤¦āāļø Thatās it!
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz My eyes hurt, though. š„“
@xuu@txt.sour.is, see this. The italics didnāt come out.
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz MinIO is a good choice for a self-hosted Object Storage (compatible with S3 APIs) š
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Donāt be nervous, I make sure I test the shit⢠out of things before anyone else does š¤£
gah iāve been so busy working on love4eva! TL;DR i switched image backends from the test/dev only module i was using to the S3 one, but with a catch - iām not using S3 or cloud shit!!! i instead got it to work with minio, so itās a middle ground between self hosting the image uploads & being compatible with the highly efficient S3 module. iām super happy with it :)
i posted a patreon update that details the changes more: https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-am-now-working-127687614
that post says i didnāt update my guide yet but i actually did like right after i made that post lol so you can CTRL+F
for minio stuff there!
@prologic@twtxt.net exciting!!!!!! iām SO SORRY i didnāt get to doing the migration for my instance though - iāve been really busy! T__T but i hope to get to it sometime this week i really wanna upgrade i think iām just a bit nervous for whatever reason lol
@thecanine@twtxt.net do you read ed zitronās newsletter? he writes in depth about how AI is a crock of shit it makes me feel normal for once
@movq@www.uninformativ.de this looks really cool
@Yarn@yarn.social yo, whatās up? I am busy running my business here!
@thecanine@twtxt.net ā*BuT cAnInE, tHe A(G)i ReVoLuTiOn Is NoW*ā Hahahaha! Thanks for good laugh! š¤£
Hello @Yarn.social@yarn.social š (testing something)
@thecanine@twtxt.net Sorry, but you were expecting what now?! š¤£
@eapl.me@eapl.me this would be, what, the third time you leave? š I jest around quite a bit, act as Devilās advocate, and am an overall maligned phaun, but please know that I appreciate you, and enjoy your engagement.
We will be here (maybe) if you ever decide to come back.
Once or twice a year, I make an effort to switch from dark mode / black terminals to light mode again.
It usually doesnāt end well, because the contrast is just not as good. Thereās a reason that things like professional DAWs or CAD software use a dark theme.
With a heavy bold font, itās much better:

My font doesnāt get any bolder than this, though. Iād have to make a new variant of it. Mhh. š¤

characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q
or a
(oops) š
And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! š± #Twtxt #Update
I also fundamentally do not believe in the notion that Twtxt should be readable and writable by humans. Weāve thrown this āargumentā around in support of some of the proposals, and I just donāt buy it (sorry). As an analogy, nobody writes Email by hand and transmits them to mail servers vai SMTP by hand. We use tools to do this. Twtxt/Yarn should be the same IMO.

@eapl.me@eapl.me I honestly believe you are overreacting here a little bit 𤣠I completely emphasize with you, it can be pretty tough to feel part of a community at times and run a project with a kind of ādemocracyā or āvote by committeeā. But one thing that life has taught me about open source projects and especially decentralised ecosystems is that this doesnāt really work.
It isnāt that Iāve not considered all the other options on the table (which can still be), itās just that Iāve made a decision as the project lead that largely helped trigger a rebirth of the use of Twtxt back in July 1 2020. There are good reasons not to change the threading model right now, as the changes being proposed are quite disruptive and donāt consider all the possible things that could go wrong.

July 1st. 63 days from now to implement a backward-incompatible change, apparently not open to other ideas like replacing blake with SHA, or discussing implementation challenges for other languages and platforms.
Finally just closing #18, #19 and #20 without starting a proper discussion and ignoring a āmicro consensusā feels⦠not right.
I donāt know what to think rather than letting it rest (May will be busy here) and focus on other stuff in the future.
We havet an AI assistant at work, new version came out today ānearby restaurant recommendationsā mentioned. Gotta try that!
Ask it where I can get a burger, knowing thereās 3 spots that had it on the menu, AI says thereās none. Ask it to list all the restaurants nearby it can check⦠it knows 3, of the 10 or so around, but 1/3, even has a burger, on the menu.
Ask it to list the whole menu at restaurant 1: it hallucinates random meals, none of which they had (I ate there).
Restaurant 2 (the one most people go to, so they must have at least tested it with this one): it lists the soup of the day and ¾ meals available. Incomplete, but better than false.
Restaurant 3: it says āfoodā and gives a general description of food. You have to be fucking kidding me!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, I see. I reckon I accidentally late April-fooled myself. :-D
Itās an interesting comparison. I really should have thought about that.
Youāre right, the rendering would not be very spectacular. :-)
@bender@twtxt.net ROFL š¤£
@prologic@twtxt.net if I tell you I will lose the edge. I want to mass produce them, as a business venture. LOL.
@bender@twtxt.net How does it work? š¤
@andros@twtxt.andros.dev We donāt know the cause, yet, do we? š¤
@prologic@twtxt.net that mechanical magical ball I built is doing a good job, thus far. :-P
LOL Amazon displaying tariff prices āhostile and political,ā White House say is this the kettle calling the pot black? 𤣠Trump, pfft, what a fucking idiot. No clue how economies work, let alone countries.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, no, this is vastly exaggerated. Neil deGrass Tyson says, the earth is smoother than a cue ball (billiard): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMP5dNsZ-6k That would make for a very dull OpenGL program, though. š
@bender@twtxt.net You guessed right š¤£
@iolfree@tilde.club Fuck no. š
I figure Eris is getting and update. A real certificate this time? Time will tell!
@bender@twtxt.net LOL how would I have guessed that?! š¤£
In Spain, electricity has already been restored. Amazing experience! Luckily, I will only have to throw away some food. But there are stories of all kinds. It has been 12 hours where we have gone back to the middle ages.
@prologic@twtxt.net Spain. Duh! š
@javivf@adn.org.es 12 Hlirs without power? š§ Where do you reside?! š¤£
After 12 hours of power outage and almost a proper rest I feel uncommonly full of energy
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org likewise I donāt have the energy for a fundamental shift in any of our specifications that would inevitably cause a lot of toil and try and change in our clients implementations and unforeseen problems that we havenāt really fully understood:
@movq@www.uninformativ.de At this point someone needs to make a decision 𤣠@bender@twtxt.net keeps reminding me of thatš
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Agreed, finding the right motivation can be tricky. You sometimes have to torture yourself in order to later then realize, yeah, that was actually totally worth it. Itās often hard.
I think if you find a project or goal in general that these kids want to achieve, that is the best and maybe only choice with a good chance of positive outcome. I donāt know, like building a price scraper, a weather station or whatever. Yeah, these are already too advanced if they never programmed, but you get the idea. If they have something they want to build for themselves for their private life, that can be a great motivator Iāve experienced. Or you could assign āem the task to build their own twtxt client if they donāt have any own suitable ideas. :-)
Showing them that you do a lot of your daily work in the shell can maybe also help to get them interested in text-based boring stuff. Or at least break the ice. Lead by example. The more I think about it, the more I believe this to be very important. Thatās how I still learn and improve from my favorite workmate today in general. Which Iām very thankful of.
I guess this is trivial to do with some pre-existing engine, but itās more fun to do it yourself: https://movq.de/v/0cfa4e9504/world.tar.gz
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, thatās sick! Assuming the rendering is correct, I never realized the mountain ranges being this steep and tall. This has real education potential for geography classes. Really cool!
Remembered a fun little āhello worldā program I made in 2018:
https://movq.de/v/a1c4a819e6/vid.mp4
(It runs smoothly. My computer just isnāt fast enough for a smooth X11 screengrab at that resolution.)
git pull
on one of my repos ā once every two minutes. This is a very pointless endeavour. I push new code a couple of times per month.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de In case you reconsider, it would be even easier then to just send an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests
