Without reading the header properly, I assumed it was regular old CDE... but nope, it's a modern take on it! 2021-10-09T22:56:02+11:00 [Trying Librewolf](https://we.loveprivacy.club/blog/eldersnake/2021/10/09/trying-librewolf) 2021-10-11T08:51:06+11:00 (#jgi4ypa) I like it! Less work to refactor, I'm sure, and also Just Works.

> Yup fucking Apple™ and their shitty Safari browser. 😡 Why does Apple have to keep breaking their own software so badly?! 😱 – Especially user facing software and user experience! geez louise Apple, get a grip! Hire better engineers or fire the lousy product managers you have. Apple the company is broken 😢

Maybe they'll need to migrate it to a Chromium base 🤣 (kidding) 2021-10-11T13:14:14+11:00 (#fsy7aja) @

Granted, my internet infrastructure is a _tad_ limited...

My article on my solar setup gave some insight into that. 2021-10-12T20:41:06+11:00 (#mizqj4a) @ Ah, I don't always see that come up but just gotta hit the "Let Me Read First" button. 2021-10-13T12:59:09+11:00 (#5trsxtq) @ What a shock 🙄 2021-10-15T20:21:41+11:00 Little ashamed to say I only just a few days ago realised that https://feeds.twtxt.net/ was a thing and could be used to make a feed from RSS. With that I was able to make a feed for https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/ . Very cool and handy. 2021-10-15T20:37:06+11:00 (#ewj63aq) I've been to the Feeds page quite a few times, for someone who is not _actually_ legally blind, I sure missed it easily enough 🤣 
I think it's reasonably well laid out too, but admittedly page design is not my forte either. cc @laz @ and anyone else who's been tinkering with designs I guess? 2021-10-15T20:50:42+11:00 @ (#dd3vxja) Sounds like an awesome day and a good way to see a colleague off. Love the Simpsons theme too! 2021-10-15T23:50:32+11:00 (#dd3vxja) @ I would but admittedly I have a rather awful social anxiety with calls and/or video chat. Yet I'm fine in person. Which probably sounds rather backwards I know 🙁 2021-10-16T12:31:35+11:00 (#66uo3sa) Yep updated both my Pods, handy addition. I use to just follow the hashtags back to the original convo but this Root button should be much more intuitive to people. 2021-10-16T12:33:43+11:00 (#66uo3sa) The only thing I'd add, is does the button need to show if the there isn't a root conversation to go back to? Like this current conversation obviously hasn't been forked yet, so the button just essentially reloads the page. If it's easy enough to add in context to the code to hide it maybe when it's an unforked convo? 🤔 2021-10-17T10:32:46+11:00 (#jfnzaca) @ 5?

Testing video upload (some guy doing a backflip) 2021-10-17T20:41:16+11:00 (#xbglreq) @ Wait what? Your pod as well? Video works on both my pods 🤔 Just not Goryon. EDIT: nevermind, I misread haha. 2021-10-23T23:53:59+11:00 @ woops, had a short outage as the weather has been atrocious and voltage dropped a bit too low. Swapped in a another battery for the night, but the Raspberry Pi had already gone down and obviously something wasn't fully finished writing in `yarnd` cos, well this upon attempted restart of my pod -
`time="2021-10-23T23:47:14+11:00" level=error msg="error creating store" error="unexpected end of JSON input"` 2021-10-23T23:54:28+11:00 (#omlqnva) I'm also a _tinsy_ bit tipsy and probably not thinking well 🤣
I deleted the cache in `./data` already but to no avail. 2021-10-23T23:57:56+11:00 (#omlqnva) On the plus side... I can see the custom 404 works well! 2021-10-24T21:02:40+11:00 Test comment 2021-10-28T09:36:47+11:00 (#4s2q3zq) @ LOL 🤣 2021-11-06T22:49:48+11:00 (#lebb7wa) Yep, that was the problem 🤣 😵 2021-11-08T16:25:36+11:00 Test comment that I'll edit. 
Editing... 2021-11-08T16:26:36+11:00 Another test comment to edit. 

Editing... 2021-11-08T16:55:24+11:00 (#6vglpfa) The only weird thing is this comment that I made at about 4:54ish AEDT, is shown as posted 4.26PM AEDT 🤔 
Edit: This comment is however timestamped fine, so maybe a momentary weirdness on my server/pod.. 2021-11-11T10:48:46+11:00 (#mazwihq) The fourth person lives under a rock 😁 2021-12-24T10:21:43+11:00 (#r6zunpa) Can confirm on my personal pod (the auto generated avatar for @) , but it's not happening on this Pod (We.LovePrivacy.Club). Although this pod is still running 0.9.0@db07211 so may have something to do with it? 🤔 2021-12-25T08:09:44+11:00 (#sd32u4a) @ Merry Christmas mate 😊 2022-01-06T20:20:50+11:00 PSA: my personal pod (yarn.andrewjvpowell.com) will be offline overnight as I've powered off the RPi. Had a couple bad days in terms of weather and the solar voltage is getting a bit on the low side (and I can't be bothered going out and swapping in another battery 🙃). 2022-01-06T20:48:39+11:00 (#ithbxba) @ Yup exactly 😊 2022-01-06T21:26:44+11:00 (#gjc4goq) ![](https://gifimage.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/and-so-it-begins-gif-6.gif) 2022-01-07T10:55:16+11:00 (#ddxvhoq) @ Very skeptical, for sure. 2022-01-07T22:52:42+11:00 (#6ruzanq) Works 👌

Wondering if the 'twtxt' bot should be called something else though? 🤔 2022-01-21T08:52:24+11:00 Welcome @ to the pod 🥳 2022-01-23T17:08:57+11:00 Welcome @ to my pod 🥳 2022-01-24T16:56:41+11:00 (#c4wsylq) WTF, whyyyyy 🤦 2022-01-27T11:52:15+11:00 My yarn.andrewjvpowell.com Pod will be out for a bit, couple of rather cloudy days so letting the battery recover today 😊 2022-01-27T17:20:33+11:00 (#uyznr6a) @ Yeah, I've had a really good run, going weeks at a time without even having to think about it, but if I happen to get a few cloudy days in succession it can be a bit dicey sometimes! My battery isn't actually in the greatest health and will need to be replaced at some point, but it's fine for now.

@ How do you mean? 🤔 2022-01-28T21:06:04+11:00 @ Hi, welcome to my pod! 🥳 2022-01-29T15:59:55+11:00 @ Hi 😊 Welcome to my pod! 2022-05-19T01:55:17+10:00 Welp, the SD card must be corruption-happy on my RPi, the below quoted Yarn doesn't even show on that pod anymore 😅

> Might be a bit before I can update this Pod, not because of any issue with yarnd, but because, I think, my SD card must be dying in the RPi 🙃
> Getting lots of file corruption errors, the thing can’t even download update archives from apt without them becoming corrupted or incomplete lol. 2022-06-05T13:49:10+10:00 (#h36l74q) @ See you on the other side 😁 2022-07-04T12:16:29+10:00 Still alive, just a lot going on. Until I fix my RPi, using this Pod as my primary. ;) 2022-07-05T13:15:35+10:00 (#6e5zxdq) @ hey mate, I'm okay. Just been busy with work and personal life (and keeping warm lol). I haven't been up to much in cyberspace TBH. But I see Yarn.social keeps getting some nice little touches every time I come on and actually do a `yarnd` update. How's the community kicking along? Haven't seen @ in the latest feeds unless he's going by another name so guessing he's moved onto other ventures. 2022-11-19T19:52:44+11:00 Still alive, just navigating life and relationship stuff.

Also just got Starlink, so my internet is at least vastly improved. Yes I know, making Elon richer... 2022-11-19T20:04:36+11:00 (#bbrkvqa) @ Thanks man, it's all good. Feel a bit guilty I've let my Pods slip in terms of updating. How likely are they to explode if I run a Git pull and rebuild? 😅 2022-11-25T13:08:35+11:00 (#zrbvphq) Pretty sure this is how you get Skynet 2023-01-23T14:16:13+11:00 (#dlbntsa) Yeah, AI this, AI that, it's almost smothering anywhere you go in the tech news world.

It's going to be like the internet in general - has a heap of hype and dreams about how it will make life easier/better in various ways... and then get used and abused by Big Tech to invade our privacy and make society worse. 2023-01-23T17:38:06+11:00 (#oolaz7q) @justamoment I find sometimes I have to open up whatever is guarded by reCaptcha in a barebones Chromium instance. I normally use the Brave browser but I think all the privacy guarding stuff trips up the captcha. I have a lot more luck with captcha solving in stock Chromium.

That said, reCaptcha is the absolute devil! 2023-01-23T20:57:39+11:00 (#uru3v2a) Well to be honest I don't know why it went down 🤣 I mean sure, watching (and using) it more often would help, but the process just died, the server itself has been up the whole time. 2023-01-23T23:38:27+11:00 (#uru3v2a) @ Ahh well admittedly no (that would be too helpful!). I've just always `nohup`'d it manually. So responsible I know :p 2023-01-23T23:40:11+11:00 (#uru3v2a) But yeah now you bring it up I really *should* get it running under a supervisor. 2023-01-24T07:35:19+11:00 (#uru3v2a) @ @ fantastic, thanks guys! 2023-01-24T07:38:07+11:00 (#fh2laiq) @ nice! I'd be pretty chuffed with that result. 2023-01-24T07:40:33+11:00 @ is the Goryon client still in development? I'm using the latest Android apk from your git repo, works fine except it wont open URLs for some reason. 2023-01-24T10:33:12+11:00 (#rcurinq) thought I was following @ , but apparently not. Fixed 😅 2023-01-24T11:05:44+11:00 (#gaapgna) @ huh, I've never heard of that 🤣 2023-01-25T07:53:15+11:00 (#qqhgbdq) excellent 👌 2023-01-26T16:19:29+11:00 (#262bora) You know you've made it once the spam bots start moving in 😅 2023-01-26T17:52:14+11:00 Okay so I have no clue about Rust nor am I a very proficient programmer, but surely this is even more of a joke than[ this repo](https://github.com/mTvare6/hello-world.rs) portrays it to be? It can't actually be this ridiculous to make a `hello world` in Rust surely 😅 2023-01-26T20:03:32+11:00 (#4jsfxfa) @ LOL, well that is *much* more reasonable 😄

But yeah @, I am finally just starting to learn Go actually. It's surprised me, from what I've seen, how simple some things can be on the web development side. For example something like the Gin web framework ([example](https://gin-gonic.com/docs/examples/html-rendering/)), things are happening in less boilerplate than often what I've seen in PHP frameworks etc which I didn't expect. 2023-01-28T08:50:40+11:00 (#2rdzq6q) ffs Putin, give it up 🤦 2023-01-28T09:18:08+11:00 How very true...

Just personal preference or more architectural reason? 2023-01-31T08:17:50+11:00 Holy shit Goroutines are awesome 2023-01-31T14:11:08+11:00 (#x7b3vsa) @ is that like some sort of pagination? 2023-01-31T14:21:18+11:00 (#c3pmcpa) @ not me mate, I asked as I was genuinely curious and as someone who only really knows SQL as far as databases go, I keep wondering what life is like on the NoSQL side of the fence 😅
