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.

**Burp, Bounce, and Break: How Web Cache Poisoning Let Me Control the App **

@prologic@twtxt.net don’t jinx it, comrade. Let’s keep a low profile, and be happy. Also, it should have been: “my pod feels…”, or “my pod twtxt.net feels…”. Come on, mon, you are killing me! 😅

Testing mentions, immediately followed by commas. Let’s see: @prologic@twtxt.net, this one is local, it might not break. Now, this one @ isn’t local. Nor this @ one. Will they break. Let’s find out!

@prologic@twtxt.net why not blanket closing everything older than, say, 3 months? Yarnd is quite a different beast today, right? Let’s start over!

Let’s give PRO/VENIX a barely adequate, pre-C89 TCP/IP stack (featuring Slirp-CK)
Only a few weeks ago, I linked to Cameron Kaiser’s excellent deep dive into the DEC Professional 380 running PRO/VENIX, and now we have a follow-up. Fortunately, today we have AI we have many more excellent and comprehensive documents on the subject, and more importantly, we’ve recently brought back up an oddball platform that doesn’t have networking either: our DEC Profess … ⌘ Read more

So, the Pope died. From my non-religious stand point, I think he has been the best Pope in a generation. Let’s see how the upcoming one does.

@prologic@twtxt.net really? Then we have a problem with bulleted lists. Let me see:

• This is one.
  
• This is two.
  
• This is three, and final.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz At the core, you need an ngircd.conf like this:

[Global]
    Name = your.irc.server.com
    Password = yourfancypassword
    Listen = 0.0.0.0
    Ports = 6667

    AdminInfo1 = Well, me.
    AdminInfo2 = Over here!
    AdminEMail = forget.it@example.invalid

[Options]
    Ident = no
    PAM = no

[SSL]
    CertFile = /etc/ssl/acme/your.irc.server.com.fullchain.pem
    KeyFile = /etc/ssl/acme/private/your.irc.server.com.key
    DHFile = /etc/ngircd/dhparam.pem
    Ports = 6669

Start it and then you can connect on port 6667. (The SSL cert/key must be managed by an external tool, probably something like certbot or acme-client.)

I’m assuming OpenBSD here. Haven’t tried it on Linux lately, let alone Docker. 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz you can let Caddy do it, and reuse the same certificates for Ergo (just enter the certificate/key path on Ergo). Once set Caddy will keep them current.

@bender@twtxt.net also an interesting option! i think i’m most worried about the cert stuff because i just let caddy handle that for me so i’m not sure how to get files from certbot for that (i had issues with that yesterday) but i can look into it and just toy around with it

@iiogama@iiogama.0x212.com Let me guess, it has got an AI sticker on it.. right? xD

“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. 😅

@bender@twtxt.neteapl.me let’s see how this mention comes out. I noticed that @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz’s pod doesn’t have this problem. That is, their mention to you works fine.

@bender@twtxt.net Let’s just optimize/fix those annoyances later on once I’ve finished pagination. Then I’ll merge this branch into main.

@prologic@twtxt.net me neither! Let’s put it on the “Greatest Mysteries of Yarn” list, and move on. 😅

just been told i abuse my cat, for not letting him outside when i live on a busy main road. ⌘ Read more

guys omg the people behind pico.sh are so nice ;_; one of the people running it emailed me to let me know i had what was likely a malfunctioning (or well, not working as intended) script that was spawning the same SSH tunnel over and over and they wanted to give me a heads up.

and i felt SO BAD because i worried i was straining their service or something so i disabled my 4 tunnels (they were serving little SSH games and services) and got back to them.

but i just woke up to THE NICEST EMAIL EVER reassuring me that i was actually using it as intended, it was just my script that was having problems, and they even said that if it was intended to work that way it was fine and they just wanted to let me know!

so i restarted the tunnels but have since added lockfiles as safeguards so that when the script is run it’ll check if it’s already running :D

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

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club @abucci@anthony.buc.ci – I’ve already spoken to @xuu@txt.sour.is on IRC about this, but the new SqliteCache backend I’m working on here, what are your thoughts regarding mgirations from old MemoryCache (which is now gone in the codebase in this branch). Do you care to migrate at all, or just let the pod re-fetch all feeds? 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net I mean I can restore whatever anyone likes, the problem is the last backup I took was 4 months ago 😭 So I decided to start over (from scratch). Just let me know what you want and I’ll do it! I used the 4-month old backup to restore your account (by hand) and avatar at least 🤣

wahhh i wanna work towards my dream of offering pay as you can web hosting (static & dynamic) but i don’t know how!!!!! i keep drifting towards hosting panels but i don’t exactly have fresh linux servers for those nor do i like the level of access they require. so i’m like ok i can do the static site part with SFTP chroot jails and a front-end like filebrowser or something…. but then what about the dynamic sites!!!!!!! UGH

granted i doubt i’d get much interest in dynamic sites but i’d like to do this old school where i can offer people isolated mySQL databases or something for some project (i’m thinking PHP based fanlistings), which means i could do it the old school way of… people ask me to run it and i do it for them. but i kind of want to let people have access to be able to do it themselves just short of giving them SSH access which isn’t happening
