@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.

@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.

@prologic@twtxt.net is it difficult to get packages into f-droid?

@prologic@twtxt.net is goryon not in the google app store?

@may@txt.sour.is 👋

@prologic@twtxt.net oh my god

@prologic@twtxt.net hmm, I’d be up for thinking about that. At least at the protocol and design level–I’m afraid I can’t help much with Go programming.

@prologic@twtxt.net ack! Well, good to know.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know! I’ve never used it–only came across it recently.

There’s all this talk and speculation about Twitter, Threads, Mastodon, Minds and so on. Meanwhile twtxt sits there, forever free and open.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it’s a great way to spice up your object storage!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I thought you were talking about the cloud storage 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s true. I think the key point is to make it 100% clear what your intentions are, so that if there ever is a legal case against Google, they cannot credibly pretend not to have known.

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s definitely a concern. I guess it’s a way to signal unequivocally that you don’t want the page indexed. If they do it anyway, they don’t really have an excuse to fall back on–they just blatantly violated your web site’s policy.

@marado@twtxt.net It’s very different. Language models are part if traditional search engines and translation engines. The new policy mentions Cloud AI abd Bard specifically. This is a weird change and probably a good preemptive move as I said previously. I’m not sure why you’re downplaying it

@shreyan@twtxt.net If that’s your reaction to PragerU, then do I have a podcast for you! https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-audit

@marado@twtxt.net It can’t possibly be defensible, which to me always signals an attempt at a power grab. They never explicitly said “we will use anything we scrape from the web to train our AI” before–that’s new. There is growing pushback against that practice, with numerous legal cases winding through the legal system right now. Some day those cases will be heard and decided on by judges. So they’re trying to get out ahead of that, in my opinion, and cement their claims to this data before there’s a precedent set.

@prologic@twtxt.net They were almost certainly doing this already, but now they’re codifying it in their policies, essentially claiming ownership over everyone’s web pages.

@xuu@txt.sour.is Oh wow I didn’t know he was associated with PragerU. I’ve listened to a few episodes of The Audit podcast, where they basically shred PragerU content, and it’s hilarious and terrifying.

Let’s be clear here. Daniel Penny allegedly choked a black man, Jordan Neely, to death on a subway car. Neely was being loud, but he was not physically threatening anybody and did not have a weapon. In any other context, this would be called “murder”, at the very least, “manslaughter” if one were being gracious. Because of the US’s history, a white man murdering a black man in sight of the public is oftentimes, and rightfully, called a “lynching”. It has a public, political purpose amounting to terrorism.

Daniel Penny was allowed to go free for awhile after this event. He is only now facing accountability, having been recently indicted (arrested and charged with a crime) as he should have been day of. And here is racist right-wing toadie Ben Shapiro saying that Daniel Penny–the white alleged killer–is the one being lynched. Not the black man who was allegedly murdered by Penny in view of the public, and who is now dead. Penny himself, who is still very much alive.

@prologic@twtxt.net, I don’t know how you go on defending Ben Shapiro, but in the context of US society, what Shapiro is saying is reprehensible and unacceptable. He’s a right-wing troll with disgusting, not to mention flat out stupid, opinions.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If I understand it correctly, gtk4 renders using OpenGL. That means some of that RAM that appears to be allocated is actually some trick of the OpenGL driver so that it can map address in RAM space to the GPU’s VRAM (depends a lot on your setup though).

What happens if you run it with GSK_RENDERER=cairo set?
