Just like we don’t write emails by hand anymore (See: #a3adoka), we don’t manually write Twts or update our twtxt.txt feeds. Instead, we use modern Twtxt clients that conform to the specifications at Twtxt.dev for a seamless, automated experience. #Twtxt #Twt #UserExperience

Wrote some serious Python for the first time in like 10 years 😱 I feel so dirty 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net This was like 20 minutes, but yeah 🤣

Today I added support for Let’s Encrypt to eris via DNS-01 challenge. Updated the gcore libdns package I wrote for Caddy, Maddy and now Eris. Add support for yarn’s cache to support # type = bot and optionally # retention = N so that feeds like @tiktok@feeds.twtxt.net work like they did before, and… Updated some internal metrics in yarnd to be IMO “better”, with queue depth, queue time and last processing time for feeds.

Interesting factoid… By inspecting my “followers” list every now and again, I can tell who uses a client like jenny, tt or any other client where fetches are driven by user interactions of invoking the app. What do we call this type of client? Hmmm 🤔 Then I can tell who uses yarnd because they are “seen” more frequently 🤣

10 Times Government Officials Made Startling Claims
No, this is not that type of list.

10 Ancient and Obscure Strategy Games from Around the World
Strategy games have been part of human culture for thousands of years. Long before modern board games or digital entertainment, people across ancient civilizations invented clever ways to test their wits, train their minds, and challenge their friends. Some of these games, like chess, Go, and backgammon, survived and are still played today. But many […]

Erlang Solutions: Reduce, Reuse… Refactor: Clearer Elixir with the Enum Module

“When an operation cannot be expressed by any of the functions in the Enum module, developers will most likely resort to reduce/3.”

From the docs for Enum.reduce/3

In many Elixir applications, I find Enum.reduce is used frequently. Enum.reduce can do anything, but that doesn’t mean it should. In many cases, other Enum functions are more readable, practically as fast, and easier … ⌘ Read more

10 Conceptions of What Extraterrestrial Could Look Like
The demands of everyday life, in the form of natural stimuli, prompt the development of the various behavioral traits and physical structures of plants and animals. In trying to envision the appearance of extraterrestrial beings, scientists once turned to Earth’s fossil record. After all, it provided evidence as to how organisms had already evolved on […]

How a 20 year old bug in GTA San Andreas surfaced in Windows 11 24H2
The headline sets the stage, and the article delivers. This was the most interesting bug I’ve encountered for a while. I initially had a hard time believing that a bug like this would directly tie to a specific OS release, but I was proven completely wrong. At the end of the day, it was a simple bug in San Andreas and this function should have never worked right, and yet, at least on PC it hid i … ⌘ Read more

@eapl.me@eapl.me I wouldn’t call it natural, it is the way Bluesky decided to handle handles (not meaning to make a pun, or anything). There is no other way, but that.

The bottomline is, there are agreed upon “standards”, right? From example, on Yarnd you show as “eapl.me”, from “eapl.me”. A kind of weird redundancy because on twtxt, ever since I started using it, one will expect to see a “nick” (equivalent to a person’s first name), from “a domain” (like a surname).

There is nothing holding back someone from giving themselves the nick:

10 Hoaxes That Purported to Prove the Bible
Christian Bible inerrantists and literalists look to archaeology to back up scriptural narratives. Many discoveries have indeed proven that many things the Bible says are accurate. However, disturbing evidence, or in some cases, non-evidence, has also come to light. For instance, archaeology can find no proof that patriarchs like Abraham existed, no indication that a […]

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com weekend coffee—the one mum brews, not the “dirty water” one can get elsewhere—keeps me jittery the whole day. Like I feel my heart wants out kind of jittery. Coffee sure is some elixir. Don’t give it up! 😅

Also, I should cut down on coffee. Seriously, I’ve nearly had a … I honestly don’t know what it was; A Panic attack? A heart attack? I dunno, I just felt like my heart and lungs were so about to burst I had to go for a run to cope.

I had Chick-fil-A breakfast today (sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, hash browns, coffee, and orange juice). Then at lunch my work place offered hot dogs. I had two (kosher, if that matters), plus a coke, a macadamia nuts cookie, and a small chocolate brownie.

So, here I am, at home, feeling hungry but guilty and refusing to eat anything else for the rest of the day. To top it off, I have only clocked 4,000 steps today (and I don’t feel like walking). I am going to hell, am I?

@prologic@twtxt.net if not physically, then in a matter of speaking. He is also helping on killing us all (like, all).

@prologic@twtxt.net having rules like this on a decentralised system is nearly impossible. LOL. Ahhh, one of the many perks of decentralisation!

There are 5 of such “Twters” on this pod that have periods in their nick 😢

sqlite> select count(distinct(nick)) from twters where nick like '%.%';
count(distinct(nick)) = 5
sqlite> select distinct(nick) from twters where nick like '%.%';
 nick = @marado@ciberlandia.pt

 nick = eapl.me

 nick = eapl.mx

 nick = grumpygordie.great-site.net

 nick = @chyrp.doesnm.cc

I’ll see if I can fix this and write a test case for what’s going on here. I think this is made difficult now because folks like @eapl.me@eapl.me decide that it’s okay to have a . (period) in their # nick 🤣 tbh I think nick(s) should have rules of what they can and cannot be comprised of. i.e: no punctuation 🤦‍♂️
