In-reply-to » Add support for skipping backup if data is unchagned · 0cf9514e9e - backup-docker-volumes - Mills 👈 I just discovered today, when running backups, that this commit is why my backups stopped working for the last 4 months. It wasn't that I was forgetting to do them every month, I broke the fucking tool 🤣 Fuck 🤦‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Just needed to update the version of the tool I packaged as an OCI image 🤣

There are now two (recentish) quotes I really like these days:

The smartest person in the room is not the one with all the answers—it’s the one who’s brave enough to ask the dumb questions

and

The kindest person in the room is often the smartest

Based on a recent study of the brains of mice I estimated the human brain to have 200B cells/neurons and 50,000T connections. We have several orders of magnitude to go before we reach that kind of scale with these fucking stupid Big LLMs 🤣 And the best part of all? 🧐 It is estimated that the human brain only consumes the equivalent of 5 Watts of power !!! 🤣🤣🤣

In-reply-to » A mate and I met at the scout yard to prepare an upcoming workshop. Boy did we have an amazing sunset when we left. The photos don't reflect it, it was a hell lot more beautiful in person: https://lyse.isobeef.org/plaetzle-2025-04-11/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice sunset 😎

In-reply-to » One was able to purchase iPhones on instalments (and interest free), whether they were associated with a carrier, or not. The only way to buy them on instalments now is if the are associated with a carrier; otherwise one gets charged the full amount up front.

@bender@twtxt.net Fair enough 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net I hate vendor lock-in too 🤣

In-reply-to » Finally lawn is mowed---well, the one at the front, the wild forest in the back will have to wait a bit longer. I haven't clocked my 10,000 steps today, but what I didn't walking, I did through full body "exercise". Will call it a day. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Well done 👍

In-reply-to » @kate @eldersnake @abucci -- I've already spoken to @xuu on IRC about this, but the new SqliteCache backend I'm working on here, what are your thoughts regarding mgirations from old MemoryCache (which is now gone in the codebase in this branch). Do you care to migrate at all, or just let the pod re-fetch all feeds? 🤔

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Apologies, the basic summary is as follows:

  • Decided to rewrite the cache backend.
  • It will now be a SQLite backend going forward.
  • I’m planning on no data migration.

In-reply-to » @prologic give it some time. Twtxt is very asynchronous, and travels at the speed of mules. It might take a while to reach the intended destination. 😅

Anyway. this was a good use for search btw. I couldn’t find my Twt, so I just quickly searched for it, snap, bingo I found it in a snap! 🫰

In-reply-to » @prologic I'm not sure if that's an intended behaviour but twtxt.net's home page doesn't load more than 13 twts, no more pagination/infinite scrolling...

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah I’m in the process of rewriting (incrementally) the cache storage backend. It’s now been live for at least a week now and pagination and peering are the last things left to do 🤞

In-reply-to » I am not interested at all. If I want to interact/socialise/whatever on the Fediverse (which I do), I simply use it. I would like to keep twtxt separate.

Yes you were right. It was technically a failure. It is very difficult to reconcile the differences between a distributed network and one that’s truly decentralized.

In-reply-to » @prologic it's fine, I never expected my yeets, to be preserved for future generations. Any art I posted here, can be found through my (now almost entirely HTML 5 complient) website.

@thecanine@twtxt.net I mean I can restore whatever anyone likes, the problem is the last backup I took was 4 months ago 😭 So I decided to start over (from scratch). Just let me know what you want and I’ll do it! I used the 4-month old backup to restore your account (by hand) and avatar at least 🤣
