@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org there are times that it works out to reply to the “flat” conversation, if it fully relates, or the participants are few, or if the strict topic is kept. When there are too many people, or too many topics being spit out, then forking constantly is the way to go. I am a strong proponent of forking. It’s like telling the rest, “you debate that there, I will take this one aside”.

@bender@twtxt.net I knew you wouldn’t be interested in a Twtxt+ActivityPub 😂 Now I have to go figure out what “monosyllabic replies” means 🤣

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s what I was going for at first, I already have my compose file to go up -d, but then I took a look at a couple of #Snac instances at the last second and they looked pretty dope! Now I’m stuck in my own head 😅

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev @eapl.me@eapl.me @sorenpeter@darch.dk Sad to see you go. 🫤

@eapl.me@eapl.me I honestly believe you are overreacting here a little bit 🤣 I completely emphasize with you, it can be pretty tough to feel part of a community at times and run a project with a kind of “democracy” or “vote by committee”. But one thing that life has taught me about open source projects and especially decentralised ecosystems is that this doesn’t really work.

It isn’t that I’ve not considered all the other options on the table (which can still be), it’s just that I’ve made a decision as the project lead that largely helped trigger a rebirth of the use of Twtxt back in July 1 2020. There are good reasons not to change the threading model right now, as the changes being proposed are quite disruptive and don’t consider all the possible things that could go wrong.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOLed in RL, my office mates were, “what’s going on, where, what?!”. 😂

Nothing like being paged at 00:30 (midnight) for a P2 incident that is now resolved at 02:10 🤯 Obviously I’m not going to work tomorrow (I mean today lol 😂) at the usual start time 🤦‍♂️

The OP strikes me as a boomer (they might not be!). LOL. I don’t think there is going back. If anything, it will get worse.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com let me reply before going to sleep. 😂😂😂

P.S: the couple first Seasons and Her (The movie) are the main reasons I find it a bit difficult to go back to mainstream social media or even care about smartphones 😆

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org don’t you go planting that seed around here, Mister! 😂

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 The Mouse is the superstar! Go Mouse, go Mouse! 🎉🎉🎉

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci two things. Conduwuit, a Matrix server written in Rust, is no longer going to be developed. The other is, I didn’t mean to tag you, but because Yarnd was broken it happened. Apologies.

@prologic@twtxt.net I would say “We are going to the adult’s toy store for our yearly haul”, though “going to a house of burlesque” would work too! LOL.

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 🤦‍♂️

There we go. Restored all the old settings 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You’re realling pushing it with those distances. 😅 I went for a quick 2km walk today, saw two deer, that’s it. 😅

What the heck is going on in 86.jpg? An art installation, apparently, but, uh, I wouldn’t trust that. 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah 👍 Haha 🤣 Does your own cache go back this far? 🤔

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz go Ergo (https://github.com/ergochat/ergo/tree/stable).

Some A hole has been trying to pull every single Twtxt feed that existed/still exists since forever. How do I know? Welp’ They’ve been querying my Timeline™ instance for all of it, every single twtxt file and twt Hash they can find. 😆🤦 It must have been going on for days and I have just noticed… + it’s all coming from the same ASN AS136907 HWCLOUDS-AS-AP HUAWEI CLOUDS

Thank you Huawei for the DDos you sons of Glitches!!!

@bender@twtxt.net My choices might be a bit limited, at least going by this list: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box (That would be some incredibly cheap storage.) I’ll probably have to order such a box and then play with it a little bit to see what’s possible.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz It’s more like a cache, it stores things like “timestamp of the most recent twt we’ve seen per feed” or “last modification date” (to be used with HTTP’s if-modified-since header). You can nuke these files at any time, it might just result in more traffic (e.g., always getting a full response instead of just “HTTP 304 nope, didn’t change”).

@quark@ferengi.one Yes, I often write a couple of twts, don’t publish them, then sometimes notice a mistake and want to edit it. You’re right, as soon as stuff is published, threads are going to break/fork by edits.

Bloody WhatsApp, bloody chat apps on smartphones, I’m going nuts. If you want to TYPE, use a device WITH A KEYBOARD. Don’t send me useless undecipherable gibberish. FFS!

@prologic@twtxt.net I am just going over things. I don’t use it, do you?

We’ve been on a trip to another city this weekend and one thing struck me as really odd:

The lack of “public water” in our cities.

Almost no way of washing your hands or going to the toilet or whatever. You can’t even pee in a bush, because a) that’s illegal and b) there are no bushes!

(It’s always been that way, I just never noticed before. 🥴)

Conduwit is set to archive on GitHub. It was my favourite Matrix server, which I still self host. I think I am going to get off Matrix altogether now.

Maybe go back to Jabber?

“Move to iOS” app continuously refused to run as intended and expected, so couldn’t migrate mum’s Android based phone data. Most of her stuff is on a Google account, but not the SMS/MMS/RCS messages. Haven’t found a way to export, then import those into iOS.

She isn’t too happy having to keep the old phone just for the messages. Need to find a way to go through them, export multimedia attachments, and import them into iOS. I don’t think it’s going to happen, but I am not letting her know yet. 😅

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 !!! 🤣🤣🤣

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.

So, yeah, going to return a couple of those this weekend.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com oh yeah! You will feel in heaven, me thinks, because that new machine will go around the Pi a few laps. Have fun, mate!

@prologic@twtxt.net sweet! Is it going to be your new all-around desktop, or the hobbyist server, or all of the above?

@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.

Aside from fetching feeds every three minutes (which kind of adds mystery to this puzzle), I think there is something else going on with the client you are using, @andros@twtxt.andros.dev. Some of those twtxts are seconds apart, making me truly stumped. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net “Indiana, let it go” 😂

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think we found a bug in the lextwt parser actually 😅

@thecanine@twtxt.net I’m so sorry I fucked things up 🥲 I hope you can trust I’ll try to do a better job of backups and data going forward 🤗

📣 I’m going to try and restore a few accounts tonight 🤞

Adding to this, we already tried. It didn’t go too well. Slightly related—because it is a third party “integration”—I might be a “smaller group” member, but I don’t care much about one-way feeds (mostly RSS from blogs, news articles, etc.) either.

@prologic@twtxt.net let’s all go to Australia! We crash on prologic’s house; got enough inflatable mattresses, mate? 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Fully agreed. I’m far more likely to buy such mediums when DRM-free. I never go near Amazon eBooks etc because of their lock-in, and I have a Kobo eReader which needs to have the books side loaded unless directly from the Kobo store. I prefer DRM-free files every time.

Ehhh yeah, what could go wrong 🤔 😵‍💫

@prologic@twtxt.net In all seriousness: Don’t worry, I’m not going to host some Fediverse thingy at the moment, probably never will. 😅

But I do use it quite a lot. Although, I don’t really use it as a social network (as in: following people). I follow some tags like #retrocomputing, which fills my timeline with interesting content. If there was a traditional web forum or mailing list or even a usenet group that covered this topic, I’d use that instead. But that’s all (mostly) dead by now. ☹️

So annoying to carry all this heavy stuff around, maybe I should go for a Bass Ukulele. 🤣

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh, yes, it’s probably going to be something like gotosocial or snac. It’s got to be as lightweight as possible. (I call this whole thing “Mastodon”, but you’re right, that’s not quite correct. 😅)

twtxt is a decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers.

The keyword here is microblogging. But it doesn’t feel like we’ve been (relatively speaking) doing much of that lately… maybe I go the concept of microblogging wrong.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org OK. So how I have worked things like this out is to have the interface in the root package from the implementations. The interface doesn’t need to be tested since it’s just a contract. The implementations don’t need to import storage.Storage

• storage/ defines the Storage interface (no tests!)
  
  • storage/sqlite for the sqlite implementation tests for sqlite directly
    
  • storage/ram for the ram implementation and tests for RAM directly
    
• controller/ can now import both storage and the implementation as needed.
  

So now I am guessing you wanted the RAM test for testing queries against sqlite and have it return some query response?

For that I usually would register a driver for SQL that emulates sqlite. Then it’s just a matter of passing the connection string to open the registered driver on setup.
