In-reply-to » Dang it, first attempt failed:

(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.

i really wanna learn golang it looks fun and capable and i can read it kind of but every time i try it iā€™m immediately stuck on basic concepts like ā€œwhat the fuck is a pointerā€ (this has been explained to me and i still donā€™t get it). i did have types explained to me as like notes on code which makes sense a bit but iā€™m mostly lost on basic code concepts

In-reply-to » 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

@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

In-reply-to » 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

@eapl.me@eapl.me Cool!

Proposal 3 (https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/issues/18#issuecomment-19215) has the ā€œadvantageā€, that you do not have to ā€œmentionā€ 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 donā€™t want to do on-call duty when a disk fails. šŸ˜‚ I like sleep! šŸ˜‚

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. šŸ˜…

Iā€™m confident that we will always need people who do bare-bones or ā€œlow-levelā€ stuff instead of just click some Cloud service. I guess that smaller companies donā€™t use Cloud services very often (because itā€™s way too expensive for them).

I saw 100% I/O wait in htop today but couldnā€™t find a process which actually does I/O. Turns out, I/O wait isnā€™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 doesnā€™t actually do anything, it just sits there and waits for events. To my understanding, this is similar to something blocking on read(). Iā€™m not quite sure yet if displaying this as I/O wait (or ā€œPSI some ioā€) is intentional or not ā€“ but it sure is confusing.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Thatā€™s thankfully not entirely true. There are some companies that are starting to realize that ā€œCloudā€ is actually more expensive and so weā€™re starting to see a bit of a migration back šŸ¤ž

@prologic@twtxt.net oh yeah itā€™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 ā€œget fuckedā€ or something idk

@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. šŸ¤”

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 DONā€™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

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
