@prologic@twtxt.net so what is the command to use? I did ssh -p 2222 GITHUB_USERNAME@cas.run help but that gives the same error. There’s something missing here.

@prologic@twtxt.net I do, but you didn’t specify in your twt that you needed to use a github account. I copy pasted the ssh command you posted verbatim!

@prologic@twtxt.net

# ssh -p 2222 cas.run help

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net hello @prologic@twtxt.net here’s another feed that’s spewing multiple copies of the same post. This one above is repeated 8 times. @awesome-scala-weekly@feeds.twtxt.net now has 13 copies of each post every week. This definitely looks like a bug in whatever code is generating these feeds, because the source feeds don’t have multiple copies of the original posts:

• Has 8 copies of the above post: https://feeds.twtxt.net/New_scientist/twtxt.txt
  
• Has only 1 copy of the above post: https://www.newscientist.com/feed/home/
  

I forget whether I filed an issue on this before, but can you tell me where I should do that?

@prologic@twtxt.net laughs.. I’m in danger.

@prologic@twtxt.net the confusion over these words is rampant 🤦‍♂️

@Planet_Jabber_XMPP@feeds.twtxt.net

The benefits of blockchain implementation across multiple sectors are well-documented

WTF are you talking about? The only thing well-documented about “the blockchain” is that it sucks and its primary use case is creating Ponzi schemes.

@prologic@twtxt.net are you trying to reinvent cloud computing?!?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oof that’s bad

@prologic@twtxt.net hmmm, I might.

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net 😐

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no happy birthday!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @mckinley@twtxt.net I believe the resurgence in availability of municipal WiFi is largely driven by the surveillance capabilities it offers. Every person who has WiFi enabled on their phone can be tracked throughout the city as their phones ping various base stations; a lot of folks aren’t aware of just how much information can be slurped out of a phone that isn’t locked down just from its WiFi pings. I know this happens in Toronto, and I was familiar with a startup in Massachusetts that based its business model on this very concept. I can only assume it’s widespread in the US if not throughout the Western world.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this is excellent advice that I will almost surely heed!

@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net

For those fond of the COBOL programming language

😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, do you have an example of conf.json in which I can see all the configuration possibilities? Thanks!

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ll second this–I find it very hard to read too.

@prologic@twtxt.net I prefer online radio because of the large number of stations from all over the world :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, you can mute or block individual users, and you can mute conversations too. I think the tools for controlling your interactions aren’t so bad (they could definitely be improved ofc). And in my case, I was replying to something this person said, so it wasn’t outrageous for his reply to be pushed to me. Mostly, I was sad to see how quickly the conversation went bad. I thought I was offering something relatively uncontroversial, and actually I was just agreeing with and amplifying something another person had already said.

@prologic@twtxt.net attacking the person, not the idea. It’d be like if you said “yarn is better than mastodon because it isn’t push based” and someone who disagreed with you said “well you think that because you’re an idiot” or something like that.

@prologic@twtxt.net when will we have Y coin, the decentralized crypto money of yarn social???

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no “it might provoke Russia”

@prologic@twtxt.net do they censor you???

@prologic@twtxt.net It was super useful if you needed to do the sorts of things it did. I’m pretty sad.

At its core was Sage, a computational mathematics system, and their own version of Jupyter notebooks. So, you could do all kinds of different math stuff in a notebook environment and share that with people. But on top of that, there was a chat system, a collaborative editing system, a course management system (so if you were teaching a class using it you could keep track of students, assignments, grades, that sort of thing), and a bunch of other stuff I never used. It all ran in a linux container with python/conda as a base, so you could also drop to a terminal, install stuff in the container, and run X11 applications in the same environment. I never taught a class with it but I used to use it semi-regularly to experiment with ideas.

@prologic@twtxt.net wow! The place to go for whiteboard tech is mills.io.

That stinks about Excalidraw. they’ve been saying that (working on adding collab/self hosting) for over a year.

@xuu@txt.sour.is hahaha!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci excellent work on embedding the YO in Hello

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh wow nice, I got it running with no trouble:

@prologic@twtxt.net I see what you mean about tldraw. I looked at their github repository and it seems like they are distributing it as an npm package for people who want to include a whiteboard in their Javascript-based frontend. I didn’t see a way to just launch the thing.

I have half a mind to write a little scala frontend that sets up one of these, since scalajs makes it very easy to use these Javascript web component things while making it look like you’re writing scala.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m a big fan of https://excalidraw.com , especially the collaborative editing feature, but I don’t think you can self-host it 👎

@prologic@twtxt.net whoa that’s so cool!

I’m playing around with snac2, which I think @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no mentioned on here, and I have to say it’s extremely easy to set up and it’s been pretty straightforward so far. I wanted to experiment with having a presence on the Fediverse without going through the process of picking Mastodon vs. Gnu Social vs. Friendica vs. …, and I wanted to self-host instead of picking an instance of one of those. For now I’m abucci@buc.ci, but no guarantees that will remain stable; I’m just testing for the time being.

@prologic@twtxt.net Couldn’t agree more

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @prologic@twtxt.net seconded, that would definitely be nice

I think for me twtxt in the terminal has a better feel than the www twtxt

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci @prologic@twtxt.net neat.. I saw this one quite a while ago. it is strictly line of sight and blocked by walls or things. The use cases were to have it integrated in the lights in a room and provide super fast connections to devices in an office or coffee shop.

https://youtu.be/AKvvEqm9Nv4

@prologic@twtxt.net

• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi: long range, can go through walls, fast but not very fast
  
• 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi: much shorter range, cannot go very far through walls, quite fast
  
• Li-Fi: long range (?), cannot go through any walls, very very fast

@xuu@txt.sour.is ah, well, I think it’s on 1.0.x now but it picked up ipv6 support in 0.10.x

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci my last experience with it was with a Debian package which is known for being out of date :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net wow that’s wild. The ISPs I’ve had in the last few years supported ipv6. The one I have now does.

@xuu@txt.sour.is “yet”? It’s supported ipv6 for like 6 years now.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci does fail2ban work with ipv6 yet?

@prologic@twtxt.net I run fail2ban on very aggressive settings to avoid these headaches. That plus manually banning IP ranges that register bots on my pod (🙄) works pretty well for me.

@hecanjog@hecanjog.com I have a script for tmux that sets up a new if needed among other things.

http://github.com/brandur/tmux-extra

Works great with powerline.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org do you need to have an explicit Is function? I believe errors.Is has reflect lite and can do the type infer for you. The Is is only really needed if you have a dynamic type. Or are matching a set of types as a single error maybe? The only required one would be Unwrap if your error contained some other base type so that Is/As can reach them in the stack.

As is perfect for your array type because it asserts the matching type out the wrap stack and populates the type for evaluating its contents.

Just in case you can find it here https://link.storjshare.io/raw/jvudpn43kuegfuzhuyrmsiiflk4a/twtxt/twtxt.txt

I’ve made smart and added a backup copy of my twtxt file to Storj cos my internet keeps on dying

@prologic@twtxt.net bummer, that’s a shame. I ask because I install the vast majority of my phone apps from f-droid these days, and only use Google Play Store when I have no other option. I know the Play Store will have more reach, but I’m guessing reach isn’t the highest priority right now.
