In-reply-to » i started a little thing on my dreamwidth and called it a flash prompt box. basically it's a limited time thing where people can prompt me for stuff i'm offering, like short fanfiction, photoshop-edited user icons, music recs, and a bit more! i'm having sooo much fun with it so far it's been a blast just making stuff for friends :)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ahh I see ! 😅

Love all the funky colors though 😎

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You’ll have to forgive me 🙏 My vision impairment is getting in the way of seeing this “prompt box” thingy 🤣

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz This sounds cool! 😎 Can you show me? 🤔

In-reply-to » grafana is confusing af i deployed it again for my job (that is so wild to say...) and i'm like HOW DO THESE ALERTS WORK

Move beyond basic threshold alerts! Define clear Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and measure Service Level Indicators (SLIs) to track real user impact. Use Prometheus to alert when your SLOs are at risk, ensuring you focus on what truly matters to your users. #Monitoring #SRE #Prometheus

In-reply-to » @andros Thanks for consolidating a lot of good ideas. Especially how you have deiced to just extend the mention syntax for location-based treads. This might even be backward compatible with older (pre-yarn) clients. What about using Z for UTC +00:00- is that allowed in your specs? Regarding url = I would suggest to only allow one and the maybe add url_old = or url_alt = !? I'm still not a fan of a DM feature, even thou it helps that i have now been split out into a separate feed file. Instead if would suggest a contact = field for where people can put an email or other id/link for an established chat protocol like signal or matrix.

@bender@twtxt.net I think this would be a good idea as @movq@www.uninformativ.de and @andros@twtxt.andros.dev have done ✅ I may even join the experiments if I have any spare time to hack a custom yrand branch and run it up on say something like a yarnexp.mills.io or something 🤔

In-reply-to » But Yarn does not like it: https://twtxt.net/twt/yoatzwa

@sorenpeter@darch.dk No because as the spec statd originally, and we didn’t change that syntax at all:

Mentions are embedded within the text in either @ or @ format

So the lextwt parser we use will simply call this an invalid mention, which it does.

In-reply-to » @bender My point was that the suggested syntax for extending mentions to point to a specific message (@<nick url timestamp>) and having location based treading this way, might not break older clients, since they might just igonore the last value within the brackets.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Unfortunately it does break all clients, because the original spec stated:

Mentions are embedded within the text in either @ or @ format

In-reply-to » Nobody want to be a shitty programmer. The question is: Do you do anything not to not be one? Reading blogs or social media and watching YouTube videos is fun. After them, your code may be a little better, of course. But you need a lot. You need to study! Read good books and study the code of other programmers, for example. Maybe work with a new language, architectures and paradigms. You need break the routine.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Yup! 👌

Hopefully I haven’t missed or messed anything upu 😅

In-reply-to » @prologic if I understand correctly it's just to increase hash size from 7 to 12 once it gets calculated, isn't it? BTW is this change already approved? I still don't understand how a proposal become an implementation in the twtxtverse 🤓

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah to avoid cutting off bits at the end making hashes end in either q or a 🤣

In-reply-to » How do you stop a dog from barking? 🧐

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz No no, it’s just barks at the slightest thing going on around the neighborhod 😃 like it just goes a bit nuts often 🤣 it was a rescue dog, two years old, and it wasn’t treated very well, a street dog. I think it’s just basically afraid of every human in the world 😢

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Programming is art. You become good at art by practising your art. You learn artistic patterns by being inspired by and reading others art works. The most importance however is that you practise your art.

In-reply-to » @kat I've almost fixed this btw 🤗 Just testing it thoroughly and polihsing the code. In case you're curious, I do this style of development called "Observability Driven Development" (ODD) whereby I make observations of the system via metrics and internal observations and adjust the system's overall behavior to the desired outcome 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You are of course right! 🤣 There are some low level components that can and should be unit tested for sure! 👌

In-reply-to » I am sure it wasn’t your intention (not even remotely), but it sounds a lot like corporate bullshit. Hahahaha! Are you sure you haven’t been institutionalised?

@bender@twtxt.net Bahahah 🤣😂 mate, me and one of my SRE colleagues actually came up with the terminology ourselves! 😛

In-reply-to » We just split about one and a half cubic meters of fire wood at our scout yard. And even more chainsaw action to cut the logs in smaller chunks. I'm bloody tired now. But it was really great fun swinging the axe. I will sleep like a rock tonight.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Heh I have to wear gloves now when swining an axe or it hurts my hands 🤣

I’m not even being facetious here either. I’d llove to see you “unit tests” this:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Well you are being slightly rude 🤪 Sure you could write unit tests for this, but in practise testing emergent properties and behaviors of a system is actually a lot harder than you might realize. But I’m happy to always be proven wrong 😑

In-reply-to » Hey @kat If you see this, I'm aware of a bug. I'm trying to figure it out and fix it. bare with me 🤗 It is what's causing things to "stall" and to have to "restart". Sorry 😞

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yeah right now I’m trying to see if I can “spread the CPU usage of fetching N feeds across M duration” so basically “smooth” out the spikes in CPU usage.

@@twtxt.net The fact that it has an SDK and process management is quite amazing g! 🤯

In-reply-to » @prologic not me. I hate monosyllabic replies, specifically on the written medium, so I am just typing this to make it longer. But that doesn't change the truth, and that is, I don't want, nor care, about twtxt, and Activity Pub integration. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net You’re kind of right though 😄 It makes it more engaging IMO 😅

“Monosyllabic replies” refers to responses that consist of a single syllable. These types of replies are typically brief and concise, often used in situations where a simple, direct answer is given. Examples include words like “Yes,” “No,” “Okay,” or “Sure.”

😂 Can I imply you’re not interested in things like “LIke”, “Report”, etc?! 😂
