(Back in tt.) Well, it kinda worked. At least appending to the file. But my cache database got screwed up. I do not yet support replies, so the subject and and root hash columns have not been set at all, resulting in a message that is just not shown at all. I gotta do something about that next. The good thing is, though, after simply fixing the two columns the message appeared on screen.

(The previous message was written with tt.) Now, this is the second attempt in tt2.

Let’s see!

Dang it, first attempt failed:

Somehow, my local feed cannot be opened to append to. I reckon, I have to resolve the tilde first:

i really wanna learn golang it looks fun and capable and i can read it kind of but every time i try it i’m immediately stuck on basic concepts like “what the fuck is a pointer” (this has been explained to me and i still don’t get it). i did have types explained to me as like notes on code which makes sense a bit but i’m mostly lost on basic code concepts

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahahah i for one hate sleeping and need to be busy 24/7 or else i go insane so server stuff is awesome for my ADHD ass!!!

IaaS does seem kinda interesting to me, i think i could vibe with that more than full on cloud stuff

i hope i can be one of those people who does the barebones stuff bc i am a rare sicko who finds it fun and cloud stuff scares me LMAOOOO

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh yeah i use the CLI sometimes it’s fun af

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Allegedly, there’s at least a CLI for that, yarnc. I neither used nor looked at it, though.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh for sure, I fully agree!

@eapl.me@eapl.me Cool!

Proposal 3 (https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/issues/18#issuecomment-19215) has the “advantage”, that you do not have to “mention” the original author if the thread slightly diverges. It seems to be a thing here that conversations are typically very flat instead of trees. Hence, and despite being a tree hugger, I voted for 3 being my favorite one, then 2, 1 and finally 4.

All proposals still need more work to clarify the details and edge cases in my opinion before they can be implemented.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Using full-blown Cloud services is good for old people like me who don’t want to do on-call duty when a disk fails. 😂 I like sleep! 😂

Jokes aside, I like IaaS as a middle ground. There are IaaS hosters who allow you to spin up VMs as you wish and connect them in a network as you wish. You get direct access to all those Linux boxes and to a layer 2 network, so you can do all the fun networking stuff like BGP, VRRP, IPSec/Wireguard, whatever. And you never have to worry about failing disks, server racks getting full, cable management, all that. 😅

I’m confident that we will always need people who do bare-bones or “low-level” stuff instead of just click some Cloud service. I guess that smaller companies don’t use Cloud services very often (because it’s way too expensive for them).

@eapl.me@eapl.me Thank you for this!

I cast a test vote. Did it work? :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net yesss ty for listening and engaging with my kpop nonsense it’s really beautiful!

@prologic@twtxt.net i have seen some posts on this! that’s definitely reassuring. i don’t know cloud stuff at all and don’t want to. servers forever….

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz UPDATE I DID IT!!!!!!! you will now see a cute anime girl that is behind the scenes testing if you are a bot or not in a matter of seconds before being redirected to the site :) https://superlove.sayitditto.net/

I saw 100% I/O wait in htop today but couldn’t find a process which actually does I/O. Turns out, I/O wait isn’t what it used to be anymore:

https://lwn.net/Articles/989272/

In my case, it was mpd which triggered this:

https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/2241

mpd doesn’t actually do anything, it just sits there and waits for events. To my understanding, this is similar to something blocking on read(). I’m not quite sure yet if displaying this as I/O wait (or “PSI some io”) is intentional or not – but it sure is confusing.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You are right! 🤣 That was a really lovely rendition of that song! 🎧 🙌

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Sounds alright to me 😹

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s thankfully not entirely true. There are some companies that are starting to realize that “Cloud” is actually more expensive and so we’re starting to see a bit of a migration back 🤞

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I actually have experience building Caddy modules hmmm 🧐

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz think i’ll wait and see if the caddy module proposal gets anywhere bc that sounds like it’d make my life easier lol

https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/16

@prologic@twtxt.net oh yeah it’s absolutely epic i love how fast it is. it would be extra peak if it sent a message to every bot that it denies access to that just says “get fucked” or something idk

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Interesting project 🤔

The rabbit hole is an interesting concept.

i tried deploying anubis (https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis) to protect my site superlove but yall i got so stuck with getting it behind caddy that i felt super dumb and gave up for now T_T

my biggest fear of starting to work with servers professionally is realizing that no one uses servers anymore and having to do some cloud bullshit instead

anyway. do u like pretty covers of pretty songs. well check out this pretty cover of coldplay viva la vida by a k-pop girl who’s got PIPES i love her so much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmk0-dXSYPI

hello fellow yarn-ers. post cancelled we should call each other cats because we’re all playing with yarn

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Yes 🙌

Business trips / Off-Sites can be rather exhausting 😴

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, as you mentioned in the other thread, @andros@twtxt.andros.dev’s hashes appear to be not quite right. 🤔

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I guess we all whish we were jobless. Not moneyless, just jobless. 😅

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Can you reproduce any of this outside of your client? I can’t spot a mistake here:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de something’s broken. On Yarn, at least, I see this twtxt of yours leafless. Same for Andros reply at https://twtxt.net/twt/eqkksua.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i could build that myself but also i can’t because i don’t know code!!!!!!!!! her ass only knows ruby on rails!!!!!!!!!

there should be a yarn posting TUI. tbh

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ancient……. i love old linux it’s so janky

@movq@www.uninformativ.de me being the one jobless bitch on here is not helping my case LOL

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Hm, looks correct to me. The image to be displayed is a thumbnail and this links to the full-sized image. The thumbnail (JPG) is auto-generated from the full image (PNG), hence the two extensions.

What does look strange, though, is that your client came up with the hash pqsmcka, while it should have been te5quba. 🤔

Hi! For anyone following the Request for Comments on an improved syntax for replies and threads, I’ve made a comparative spreadsheet with the 4 proposals so far. It shows a syntax example, and top pros and cons I’ve found:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KOUqJ2rNl_jZ4KBVTsR-4QmG1zAdKNo7QXJS1uogQVo/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Feel free to propose another collaborative platform (for those without a G account), and also share your comments and analysis in the spreadsheet or in Gitea.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Asleep or at work, I guess. 😅

GIMP 1.1 on SuSE 6.4 with good old GTK 1:

TL is dead af right now where IS EVERYONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

i wonder if i could make a little yarn widget for my site to show my last post. that’d be fun. sadly i do not know javascript

wonyoung pfp now. i love her

i have got to try the jenny yarn client it looks so fun and old school……..

anyway re: girl doxxing for wonyoung. this is real wonyoungism. i can only dream of being that iconic. for context wonyoung gets so much hate and she is literally my age and has been doing this idol shit since she was 13 and has gotten called all sorts of horrible things since then because people are jealous of her. so imo doxxing in her name is OK and justified i DON’T CARE there are youtubers in south korea who have made a career out of hating on her and are now getting sued by her for defamation

you know i’m posting from CLI right now and i still haven’t figured out how to reply to my own post via yarnc

i could do anything for wonyoung but nothing will ever be as cool and iconic as the 13 year old daughter of the baidu vice president who doxxed over 100 people during an argument for hating on wonyoung. Absolute icon

Wow, this is a nice way to practice internationalization for our systems
