@dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com further test. It seems Yarn is very finicky.

Let’s see if this works, shall we? 😊

@someone@www.davebucklin.com testing…

And that’s… bad, right @prologic@twtxt.net?

So, started following https://www.davebucklin.com/twtxt.txt, but there is no way to interact with him. Mentions will never come out right.

Ha! Found it:

Due to the Btrfs RAID issues, Synology chose Linux RAID. Based on the diagram below, Synology has implemented the layers in between the file systems and disks to ensure that Synology has full control to achieve the highest stability.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I am curious now, though. Doesn’t Synology use RAID Btrfs? How in the world do they do it? Researching…

@mckinley@twtxt.net “Warning: The RAID 5 and RAID 6 modes of Btrfs are fatally flawed, and should not be used for “anything but testing with throw-away data.” – Yikes!. Gulp.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de what password manager do you use on the CLI? Is it pass?

@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.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t see how OP will see the replies. Does Yarn proxies to Gemini?

@prologic@twtxt.net ooooohhh! I like Legit quite a bit. “Oui, il est le git!” :-D Thanks!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org mind it, English is my second language, though I have been using it since 1992, almost constantly.

“Next weekend”, is the weekend after the one coming up. The one coming up is “this weekend”, or simply “the weekend” (as in, “see you this weekend!” or “will mow the lawn on the weekend”). I don’t like the perceived ambiguity of it, thus I strictly use dates (“lets get together on Saturday, 4 May 2024”). 😅

Is there something simpler, and leaner, than Gitea, which will allow me to see (as in read only) git repositories nicely on a web browser? Preferably a one-file-only solution, written in Golang.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hahahahaha! Good findings. Yes, most of them are invented, and medical/drug related. The kick with the German ones is that they summarise an entire paragraph, with not just meaning, but also feelings, and–hypothetically–hard to describe extra meanings rather difficult or impossible to translate to other languages.

Wow, so pretty, dude! The one you used on this twt (tiny photo too, not sure what happened here) doesn’t make justice to the entire set. Very good clicks there!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL. That’s pretty much it, and it just means “extraordinary”. 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net I think it happens more, and more, while on mobile. I use iCloud Private Relay, if that helps.

Now, don’t misunderstand me. With all the perceived drawbacks/flaws I listed, Yarn works. Could it be much better? For sure. But it works. :-D

@eapl.me@eapl.me you wrote:

I don’t use Yarn/Twtxt.net anymore, although I read the homepage a few times a week to catchup on anything interesting.

Then you do use it, no? Right? :-D

I barely twt from my PHP instance.

Because PHP sucks! See what I did? I am “encouraging” engagement! :-D

… it’s too superficial to have a meaningful conversation.

Microblogging is often the antithesis of meaningful. You talk about everything, and anything you want. Even to the void. You have done it!

Yarn is niche. With it’s forks, and yarns, it comes across as a “weird” microblogging for some (weird was the word a friend from Philippines used to refer to Yarn). The UI/UX has issues (I am not an expert, but I would say copying “the others” and slightly adjusting to give Yarn it’s own uniqueness should work), and that keeps people away. The cache blows, I want to be able to see everything, at all times. The built-in search blows, I want a more “ala Google” kind of search. There is more, but you get the gist.

@prologic@twtxt.net standing up Mastodon isn’t that much complicated. It is just a little bit more demanding than Yarn, that’s all.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “looking forward to the next weekend”; I see what you did there! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de fear not! We know we are animals that do things on cycles. We also copy each other. What’s old becomes new, over and over. It is bound to end… eventually.

I am not fond of it either.

@prologic@twtxt.net and by “y’all” you meant eapl, right? I noticed that too, and LOLed IRL. 🤣
