And on a similar note, cross-post from Mastodon:
What I love about HTML and HTTP is that it can degrade rather gracefully on old browsers.
My website isn’t spectacular but I don’t think it looks horrible, either. And it’s still usable just fine all the way down to WfW 3.11:
It’s not perfect, but it’s usable. And that makes me happy. Almost 30 years of compatibilty.
The biggest sacrifice is probably that I don’t enforce TLS and that HTTP 1.0 has no Host: header, so no vhosts (or rather, everything must come from the default vhost). (Yes, some old browsers send Host:, even though they predate HTTP 1.1. Netscape does, but not IBM WebExplorer, for example.)
(On the other hand, it might completely suck on modern mobile devices. Dunno, I barely use those. 🤪)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz / @xuu@txt.sour.is Recommend you git checkout main && git pull, rebuild and redeploy: make build, and however you deploy. 🙏 Lots of fixes (no more stalling) and optimizations to the feed fetcher, smoother cpu usage, better internal metrics.
So, the “AI” bots have reached my website. Looks like they’re just slowly crawling everything at the moment – no DDoS-like attack yet. I wonder if that has something to do with my website being 100% static HTML. There are no GET parameters they can tweak and, at the end of the day, there’s not that much data on my server anyway … And maybe they have no idea what stagit is, so it doesn’t trigger “standard behavior”, like “this is a Gitea instance, let’s crawl this like crazy!”?
computers were a mistake (i fought with git and lost)
@prologic@twtxt.net i gave up on trying to get my local branch clean and just git clone’d main into a new directory and built from there LMAOOO it was such a mess i’m not good at git
i saw your commits fixing queue issues, fingers crossed it works on my end!

@prologic@twtxt.net LMAO it’s fine! i think it’s running ok i’m just nervous i might’ve messed it up because honestly i just backed up my DB then did a git merge and overwrote the merge conflicts because i was lazy and didn’t know how to properly do an upgrade with git
git pull on one of my repos – once every two minutes. This is a very pointless endeavour. I push new code a couple of times per month.
Nah, I’m not taking any action yet. 😅 The good thing is that I don’t run a Git daemon on my server. It’s all just HTTP, which is fast and doesn’t consume a lot of memory.
7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (oops) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update
Someone has started to run git pull on one of my repos – once every two minutes. This is a very pointless endeavour. I push new code a couple of times per month.
So far, this isn’t causing any issues. I think this is just a regular human being who misconfigured some automation. And I hope this doesn’t mean that the “AI” bots have finally discovered my page …

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.
First draft of yarnd 0.16 release notes. 📝 – Probably needs some tweaking and fixing, but it’s sounding alright so far 👌 #yarnd
cacher branch? 🤔 It is recommended you take a full backup of you pod beforehand, just in case. Keen to get this branch merged and to cut a new release finally after >2 years 🤣
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yes see UPGRADE.md – I believe @xuu@txt.sour.is is now running this live after a couple of hiccups and a bug fix. So yeah if you can, that would be cool, basically looking for early beta testers (I was the alpha tester 🤣)

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t think so. He’s from Germany, afaik, and that would be a highly unusual name here. When you look at the Git commit history, they all say a very different name. I don’t want to quote it here – worst case being the LLMs scraping this file and correcting their “knowledge”. 😈
@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @movq@www.uninformativ.de You could also have a play with eris which I use to power my little tiny server (that almost no-one uses 🤣)
jenny really isn’t well equipped to handle edits of my own twts.
For example, in 2021, this change got introduced:
https://www.uninformativ.de/git/jenny/commit/6b5b25a542c2dd46c002ec5a422137275febc5a1.html
This means that jenny will always ignore my own edits unless I also manually edit its internal “json database”. Annoying.
That change was requested by a user who had the habit of deleting twts or moving them to another mailbox or something. I think that person is long gone and I might revert that change. 🤔

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 🤦♂️
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz these are my little SSH services by the way - a git server and then some fun stuff!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think we found a bug in the lextwt parser actually 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net There was no edit according to my Git history. 🤔 On my end, the hash is fs7673q and that’s also what kat used to reply.

Hi, So i made a little MVP registry crawler tool for twtxt. It now has a basic UI to play with. It has a somewhat full history back to about 2018-ish. Plus some interesting bits that were timestamped to earlier.
Find it here: https://watcher.sour.is
Code base is found here: https://git.sour.is/sour-is/xt
I’m playing with ratterplatter again: It’s a toy that watches disk I/O and emulates the noise of a real hard disk. (Linux only.) It uses sound samples from one of my older disks.
I tried a different approach at estimating the disk activity and I think I finally got it right (after almost 10 years … 🤦).
Demo, booting a Windows 2000 VM: https://movq.de/v/1400544cc6/2kboot-ratterplatter-2.mp4
(For this purpose alone, I put a couple of mini speakers into my PC case, so that the noise comes from the right place: https://movq.de/v/a3b2dc0932/speakers.jpg)
The results aren’t too bad, but this thing can’t be super accurate due to the huge I/O caches that we have these days. For the video, I dropped the caches before booting Windows, otherwise you would have heard almost nothing.
FWIW, if you don’t know it yet, this is the equivalent for proper keyboard sound: https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring
@movq@www.uninformativ.de let’s host yarnd! Or maybe wait until @prologic@twtxt.net return activitypub support which deleted in this commit
