Does bring up an
interesting question for me though…
would anyone be willing to pay for a twtxt service?
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com That’s the downside of using public services yeah 😢 Yhere is y really a good solution to that 😅
@mckinley@twtxt.net I love ZFS though 😅
@mckinley@twtxt.net Yeah I have plans to redo my
infra to be egress only via WireGuard for that reason 👌
yarnd itself is just downloading a binary and configuring it (which could also be easier)
@mckinley@twtxt.net Thanks! 🙇♂️
@bender@twtxt.net There’s stagit which generates static HTML files

@prologic@twtxt.net I remember running yarnd for testing on a couple of different occasions and both times I found all the required command line options to be annoying. If I remember correctly, running it with missing options would only tell you the first one that was missing and you’d have to keep running it and adding that option before it would work.
This was a couple of years ago, so I don’t know if anything’s changed since then. It’s really not a big problem, because it would be run with some kind of preset command line (systemd service, container entrypoint) in a production environment.

@bender@twtxt.net I avoid install scripts like the plague. This isn’t Windows and they’re usually poorly written. I think it’s better to prioritize native packages (or at least AUR, MPR, etc) and container images.
@prologic@twtxt.net That’s good advice. I don’t open any ports to the Internet if I can possibly avoid it. Everything is on Wireguard, even stuff that doesn’t really need to be. It’s super easy to set up on other people’s computers, too. Even on Windows.
Come on guys, can’t we just do Btrfs RAID5/6 already?

@bender@twtxt.net Fair points 🙇♂️

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com This is precisely how (and watching your own access logs for UserAgent) discovery should work 🤣
gemini:// and gopher:// -- The search engine crawls both too 😅
@bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net that’s some service!

@prologic@twtxt.net I remember when I first ran Yarn on arrakis, it was a mess. Remember I had to start it again from scratch? If I were to run Yarn today, I will have to ask you what -u to use, if I am going to run a web server on it (say, Caddy), and what to do to keep the huge cache Xuu and I like. LOL. Granted, I could figure it out myself after some trial and error too.
To make Yarn install easier? An installer script that would prompt for the settings, generate config, and install the systemd, because, whether we like it or not, the biggest Linux distros around use it.
@bender@twtxt.net No worries! My version is very similar, but it doesn’t rely on fork/exec out to the git binary.
@bender@twtxt.net It does! Yarn supports both gemini:// and gopher:// – The search engine crawls both too 😅
@bender@twtxt.net What would make standing up Yarn even easier? I can think of a few things that people might struggle with: a Domain, Pointing the domain at something valid, Maybe a reverse proxy setup.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t see how OP will see the replies. Does Yarn proxies to Gemini?
@bender@twtxt.net Hmmm I had a look at the Cloudflare Event logs just now, and I couldn’t find anything that was blocked that was a POST hmmm
@prologic@twtxt.net ooooohhh! I like Legit quite a bit. “Oui, il est le git!” :-D Thanks!
That is one magnificent dandelion 😳
