@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt haha its not coming back. he talked of a stand alone thing like feeds. but not in yarnd
@xuu@txt.sour.is it is called “reaffirmation”. It is a lesser known feature that activates randomly to make sure you get the gist on things that matter. 😅
hmm @prologic@twtxt.net how did replying to lyse double up here?
if it hasn’t updated in a while so i put the request rate to once a week it will take some time before i see an update if it happens today.
I need to figure out a way to back off requests to feeds that don’t update often.
“Unread messages: -1”: Well, classic off by one error. I gotta have to hunt that down.
Guilty pleasure, blasphemy, shitty audio, … something like that. Seven Nation Army on double bass. 🤪 https://movq.de/v/e3a4dcff2e/sad-nation-army.ogg
@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s not very retrocomputing!

about:compat in Firefox.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I remember WebKit having a similar list, but I can’t find it right now … 🙈
@eapl.me@eapl.me Interesting! Two points stood right out to me:
Why the hell are e-mail newsletters considered a valid option in the first place? Just offer an Atom feed and be done with it! Especially for a blog of this very type. This doesn’t even involve a third party service. Although, in addition he also links to Feedburner, what the fuck!? No e-mail address or the like is needed and subject to being disclosed.
When these spam mailers want to prevent resubscribing, then for fuck’s sake, why don’t they use a hash of the e-mail address (I saw that in yarnd) for that purpose? Storing the e-mail address in clear text after unsubscribing is illegal in my book.
@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. ☹️
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see, fair point, yeah.
about:compat in Firefox.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yikes! I didn’t know about about:compat. Crazy!
@xuu@txt.sour.is Wow, that’s a giant graveyard. In my new database I have 16,428 messages as of now. Archive feed support is not yet available, so it’s just the sum of all the 36 main feeds.
Did you demoed Yarn? When it comes to less friction nothing can beat a web browser!
L’argument du “yen a qui font pire tfaçon” m’insupporte aussi. ET j’ai envie de croire au systémique, à l’inspiration qu’on donne en montrant aussi un comportement positif.
Thank you @python_valencia@twtxt.python-valencia.es for letting me show you the secrets of a decentralised plain text social network like twtxt.
I hope you enjoyed the talk! ❤️🐍
@bender@twtxt.net That … was better than expected. 😂
@prologic@twtxt.net Gemini has an answer for you:
This is a conversation thread from a twtxt network, detailing a user’s (movq) frustration with the Mastodon “export data” feature and their consideration of self-hosting a fediverse alternative. Here’s a summary:
Wait! What’s going on?! 🧐
The Mastodon admins say that it’s probably because of the size of my account (~600 MB), so the export process times out. And I understand that. Here on twtxt, I always use auto-expiring links when I post images or videos. It just gets too much data otherwise. I think I’ll just set my Mastodon account to auto-delete posts after ~180 days or something like that. Nobody cares about old posts anyway.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net It already is a tiling window manager, but some windows can’t be tiled in a meaningful way. I admit that I’m mostly thinking about QEMU or Wine here: They run at a fixed size and can’t be tiled, but I still want to put them in “full screen” mode (i.e., hide anything else).
@movq@www.uninformativ.de let’s host yarnd! Or maybe wait until @prologic@twtxt.net return activitypub support which deleted in this commit
Wow, phishing is just around the corner 👀

I need to import my yarn cache. It’s sitting at about 1.5G in registry format. That should make things interesting…

neat! my watcher is currently sitting at about 75 MB following over 1500 feeds. only about 200 are currently somewhat active.

about:compat in Firefox.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de so glad I don’t use Firefox! And now I will pretend I haven’t seeing your screenshot. Hahahahaha!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t see the utility, nor artistry in it, but if it works for you, 🥳! 😅
@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOLZ! 🤣
There are 82.108 read statuses, but only 24.421 messages in the cache. In contrast to the cache with the messages, the read statuses are never cleaned up when a feed was unsubscribed from. And the read statuses also contain old style hashes, before we settled on the what we have today. Still a huge difference. Hmm.

Thanks, @movq@www.uninformativ.de!
My backing SQLite database with indices is 8.7 MiB in size right now.
The twtxt cache is 7.6 MiB, it uses Python’s pickle module. And next to it there is a 16.0 MiB second database with all the read statuses for the old tt. Wow, super inefficient, it shouldn’t contain anything else, it’s a giant, pickled {"$hash": {"read": True/False}, …}. What the heck, why is it so big?! O_o
you just haven’t read this yet.
The brokenness of the web can be examined by opening about:compat in Firefox.
Lots and lots of workarounds for specific websites.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de You could also just use a tiling window manager. :-) As a bonus, it doesn’t waste dead space, the window utilizes the entire screen. To also get rid of panels and stuff, put the window in fullscreen mode.
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I have just opened the GIMP bug tracker (hosted at gitlab.gnome.org) and, I kid you not, they have deployed Anubis in front of it:
Oof.
Thinking about adding a little “focus” feature to my window manager: It hides all but one window, no wallpaper, no bars.
It would turn this

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’m glad to hear that! Yay for more clients. 😊

If I didn’t mess this up, 61 feeds reduced down to 36.
I now subscribed to most feeds in my Go tt reimplementation that I already followed with the old Python tt. Previously, I just had a few feeds for testing purposes in my new config. While transfering, I “dropped” heaps of feeds that appeared to be inactive.
This might motivate me to actually “finish” the new client, so that it could become my daily driver. No need to use the old software stack any longer. Let’s see how bad this goes.
(I didn’t submit a proposal of my own, because it would basically just be a duplicate of another one. 😅)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Interesting, thanks for that list. 🤔
I’ve identified several issues with my current (admittedly cheap) upright bass by now. It might be time to upgrade to a better model. 🤔
If only those things weren’t so damn expensive. I just checked the prices and simply burst out laughing. 😂
… yeah, okay, I don’t think I’ll do that. 😅 Anything but twtxt is just too much effort.
Perfect ASCII diagram builder
#ascii
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think the community should be allowed to experiment mate 😅 Just make tt2 ignore such items in feeds and you’re good 👍
@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me Yeah yarnd already filters/ignores them (for now)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, most of the graphical applications are actually KDE programs:
pass one day. The most annoying thing is that when I copy a password, it says that the password has been modified and asks me whether I want to save the changes. I never do, because the password is still the same. I don’t get it.)Qt:
Gtk:
These are the things that are open right now or that I could think of. Most other stuff I actually do in the terminal.
In the past™, I used the Python KDE4 bindings. That was really nice. I could pass most stuff directly in the constructor and didn’t have to call gazillions of setters improving the experience significantly. If I ever wanted to do GUI programming again, I’d definitely go that route. There are also great Qt bindings for Python if one wanted to avoid the KDE stuff on top. The vast majority I do for myself, though, is either CLI or maybe TUI. A few web shit things, but no GUIs anymore. :-)
