@david@daiwei.me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@david@daiwei.me But it was on the side of the road!!! and she had her pants around her ankles, stark naked for all passing traffic to see ad she did a shit!!! 💩

@david@daiwei.me yea but it’s very windy, uncomfortably so and very crowded 🤯

we’re here now 👌

a woman!

gah this was full of typos 😅

As my wife was driving and towing us us to our final destination.. Just before a little locality called Mount Larcom, we went past a soan on the side of the road doing a full dump! 🤯 💩 So disgusting 😢

Stop over in a place called Gin Gin 😅

Thanks!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org very nice 👌

I’m off for a week on a week-long trip up north (Australia), to a place called Yeppoon. I’ll be sporactily around on Yarn/Twtxt, but probably having too much relaxing fun with my family 😅 Cya’s in a week or so 🏝️

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com He’s asleep by now 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Haha 🤣 I’ve found the only effective defense is to make the request(s) cost you nothing or very little. Trying to defeat all this en-mass scraping/crawling and defective bots is such a PITA 🤦‍♂️

Works here too

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Pretty good thanks! 😊 Went out last night to celebrate my birthday with my wife and my best mate and her wife. It was a lovely day/night out 👌 – How about you so far?

@athanasia@twtxt.net The main problem is that I don’t front mbox.blue with my Edge infra that I front the rest of my infra with. So mbox.blue is kind of independent if that makes sense. It has nothing in front of it to protect anything. So I would just put a simple Caddy PoW at it’s reverse proxy and call it a day if that works for you? – I think I’ll make this per-box/per-user configurable too?

Also apologies. If you want to chat to me in more ~realtime, I’m more active on something we’re calling Parley – A truly decentralised federated IRC chat system. You have to spin up your own instance (ideally) or join someone else’s, but otherwise you use a normal IRCv3 capable client, but the entire “network” (so to speak) automatically forms a decentralized mesh.

Done

@athanasia@twtxt.net I actally have my own PoW that I can put in front of mbox.blue if you like. It works very similarly to Anubis. I do have to warn you however, I don’t really think these PoW techniques are very effective IMO. Also re Guestbook message, sure, one sec…

Trump suggests EU allowing Canada as associate member could be a ‘hostile act’ | Hacker News👈 Trump is a fucking idiot! 🤯 My god! 🤦‍♂️

👋 Calling all decentralised enthusiasts that still remembers and use IRC 😎

Please come join us in a new, truely, decentralised IRC-based chat experience by standing up your own Parley instance on your own domain (bring your own OIDC auth or use the built-in).

Pick your favourite IRCv3-compatible client (there’s heaps out there!).

And peer with either me james@mills.io or Admin -> Peers -> Add mills.io or @david@daiwei.me via david@ratha.us or simply ratha.us (in Admin -> Peers -> Add).

See you online! 🤞 #decentralised #irc #chat

@david@daiwei.me I just wanted some cheap USB disks to test with, nothing fancy LOL, serves me right 😂

And by design 😅

I never thought I’d ever get scammed by an Amazon counterfeit product in my life 🤦‍♂️ I suppose with all the many 10’s of thousands of items sold there every day (and all the junk) I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later. I just tested a couple of USB Flash drives that were being sold as 512G, but were in fact only internally 8G, you write past the 8G and try to read those bytes back and you get a whole pile of zero’s back 🤣

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com you do not have to use Docker btw 🤗

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Then by all means, follow the instructions at https://git.mills.io/prologic/parley and setup your own instance on your own domain. It’s partly inspired by Twtxt/Yarn.social and Salty.im – in at least the way teh DNS discovery and WKID works. Once your instance is up and running and you’ve gone through the /setup and created yourself an account (or seti it up with an appropraite ODIC IDP) try something like /msg james@mills.io Hey! at which point you should automatically start peering with my instance. You should then be able to /join #lobby1 (a globally federated channel already across 2 instances so far). 🤞

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Not really no 🤣 Did you want to join us and setup your own instance and join the growing aprty? It’s turning out to be quie neat actually 😅

I have (finally) built a fully e2e working purely decentralised and federated IRC-compatible chat server. It is currently a PoC, but it’s already working quite well. It’s inspired partly by the work we did with Salty Chat in terms of Discovery and Federation. Some screenshots of a normal IRC client irssi showing off how it works in a local e2e setup:

For the curious, this is fully documented with roleplay Alice/Bob. I was going to test this with @david@daiwei.me but we both got busy, but now I’m on holidays from work for a month so 🤷‍♂️ 🤣

Does anyone have time this weekend to manually test and validate and prove out this spec I’m calling Gitxt? A Twtxt-inspired purely decentralised Git federation/forge? 🤔 Hit me up! You need only git, curl and a web server of some kind.

@david@daiwei.me Oh I did 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s becoming a bit ludicrous to be frankly honest. I’m not sure I can continue to justify these kinds of prices. But at the same time, I’ll probably stick with Apple regardless, even if I hate their exorbitant prices, and just buy their low-end stuff 🤦‍♂️ It is fucking crazy when you consider what these things are actually made for over in China or wherever they’re manufactured.

I am not fucking paying ~3.5 grand for a fucking phone, geez christ, kill me now 🤦‍♂️

Oh no, sorry I was wrong! That was the fucking US price 🤣

This is the Australian (AUD) price:

From A$3,499.00 or A$145.79/mo.

Fuck me dead 😵

iPhone Duo - Apple Sorry Apple™, I’m really finding it quite hard to justify spending thousands of dollar on your products!

From $1999 or $83.29/mo. for 24 mo.*

Fark me 🤦‍♂️ When it was just me and my wife, maybe, fine, okay. But now I have two young children that also want the same shit™ as we do. This starts becoming a nearly ~$8k expensve just for some fucking whoop-ti-do-da foldable iPhone with a bigger screen.

Who cares? 🤔 I want my ~A$800 iPhone back that fits in my hand. #Apple #Rants #Expensive #Crap

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Don’t worry, we’ll tell you rather loudly if your client is misbehaving or your feed is down 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is actually pretty cool! I like this one! ☝️

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Ahh it gets like tha sometimes 😅 the Twixt ecosystem is on purpose, deliberately designed to be very slow at times 🤣

⚠️ For anyone that signs up on Yarn.social’s multi-user twtd multi-tenant platform I’m runnign on twtpub.com – Be warned. I will delete your account if you create it for the soles purposes of link squatting, spam, link harvesting, seo marketing, or any other useless fucktarrd crap.

To the spammers and would-be assholes of the world: You have been wanred. Don’t abuse my generosity.

it’s all I ask

@david@daiwei.me No worries 😌

@david@daiwei.me ping me on IRC when you have a couple of spare hours 👌

@david@daiwei.me I think to @movq@www.uninformativ.de ’s point, we should probably just test teh specification itself no? 🤔

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com I plan to oj ly projects 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I kind of do need a couple of folk to test things with 👌– But i need to do some more testing myself first 😅

By industry i assume you both mean IT?

What’s going on in your neck of the woods (planet) 🧐

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com How about you? 🤔

@GabesArcade@gabesarcade.com Doing okay 👌 Looking forward to my month off!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ahh, no you can. Much like what we’ve built here with Twtxt / Yarn. I’m building a spec, clients can implement the spec, or you can ya know, just curl and git your way through. I’ll link the spec soon™, just need to keep refining and testing and make sure this actually works properly 😅

gitxt is a purely decentralised git forge. There is no federation protocol, no instance-to-instance API, no accounts on other people’s servers. Each forge instance is fully independent; collaboration is an act of publishing and reading plain text files over HTTP

@fossham@twtpub.com I honestly think the most unique and interesting thing about doing this at all is that it is in fact inspired directly by Twtxt / Yarn.social itself – That is to say, I am confident I can do this in such a way as to be “truly decentralised”, no inter-networking like ActivityPub, no centraised forges like Github or Codeberg. You run your instance, I run mine, we just are able to collaborate. Think exchanging patches over Email, just without all the hard-to-learn ways to do that (enough though it’s not hard for some of us, but still).
