@prologic@twtxt.net how old is the actual appliance? You can replace disks all you want/need, but the life of the appliance itself is finite.
@mckinley@twtxt.net the best way to suffer no data loss is to not have data at all. 😂 I haven’t lost a single datum.
@prologic@twtxt.net I am following @dbucklin@ but mentioning him renders that broken thing you see on this twt.
@prologic@twtxt.net this happened. Mentions often break. 😩
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com images are linked using markdown “standard”, like so:

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hehehehe, I was trying to mention dbucklin but Yarn is broken.
I vote for jenny too. It is pretty cool. Even more so if you are a mutt’s fan!
@dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com Hi there! Well, I got your message. Let me know if you have gotten mine.
@dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com further test. It seems Yarn is very finicky.
@someone@www.davebucklin.com testing…
And that’s… bad, right @prologic@twtxt.net?
So, started following https://www.davebucklin.com/twtxt.txt, but there is no way to interact with him. Mentions will never come out right.
Ha! Found it:
Due to the Btrfs RAID issues, Synology chose Linux RAID. Based on the diagram below, Synology has implemented the layers in between the file systems and disks to ensure that Synology has full control to achieve the highest stability.
@mckinley@twtxt.net I am curious now, though. Doesn’t Synology use RAID Btrfs? How in the world do they do it? Researching…
@mckinley@twtxt.net “Warning: The RAID 5 and RAID 6 modes of Btrfs are fatally flawed, and should not be used for “anything but testing with throw-away data.” – Yikes!. Gulp.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de what password manager do you use on the CLI? Is it pass?
gemini://
and gopher://
-- The search engine crawls both too 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net that’s some service!
yarnd
itself is just downloading a binary and configuring it (which could also be easier)
@prologic@twtxt.net I remember when I first ran Yarn on arrakis, it was a mess. Remember I had to start it again from scratch? If I were to run Yarn today, I will have to ask you what -u
to use, if I am going to run a web server on it (say, Caddy), and what to do to keep the huge cache Xuu and I like. LOL. Granted, I could figure it out myself after some trial and error too.
To make Yarn install easier? An installer script that would prompt for the settings, generate config, and install the systemd, because, whether we like it or not, the biggest Linux distros around use it.
@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t see how OP will see the replies. Does Yarn proxies to Gemini?
@prologic@twtxt.net ooooohhh! I like Legit quite a bit. “Oui, il est le git!” :-D Thanks!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org mind it, English is my second language, though I have been using it since 1992, almost constantly.
“Next weekend”, is the weekend after the one coming up. The one coming up is “this weekend”, or simply “the weekend” (as in, “see you this weekend!” or “will mow the lawn on the weekend”). I don’t like the perceived ambiguity of it, thus I strictly use dates (“lets get together on Saturday, 4 May 2024”). 😅
Is there something simpler, and leaner, than Gitea, which will allow me to see (as in read only) git repositories nicely on a web browser? Preferably a one-file-only solution, written in Golang.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hahahahaha! Good findings. Yes, most of them are invented, and medical/drug related. The kick with the German ones is that they summarise an entire paragraph, with not just meaning, but also feelings, and–hypothetically–hard to describe extra meanings rather difficult or impossible to translate to other languages.
Wow, so pretty, dude! The one you used on this twt (tiny photo too, not sure what happened here) doesn’t make justice to the entire set. Very good clicks there!
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL. That’s pretty much it, and it just means “extraordinary”. 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net I think it happens more, and more, while on mobile. I use iCloud Private Relay, if that helps.
Now, don’t misunderstand me. With all the perceived drawbacks/flaws I listed, Yarn works. Could it be much better? For sure. But it works. :-D
@eapl.me@eapl.me you wrote:
I don’t use Yarn/Twtxt.net anymore, although I read the homepage a few times a week to catchup on anything interesting.
Then you do use it, no? Right? :-D
I barely twt from my PHP instance.
Because PHP sucks! See what I did? I am “encouraging” engagement! :-D
… it’s too superficial to have a meaningful conversation.
Microblogging is often the antithesis of meaningful. You talk about everything, and anything you want. Even to the void. You have done it!
Yarn is niche. With it’s forks, and yarns, it comes across as a “weird” microblogging for some (weird was the word a friend from Philippines used to refer to Yarn). The UI/UX has issues (I am not an expert, but I would say copying “the others” and slightly adjusting to give Yarn it’s own uniqueness should work), and that keeps people away. The cache blows, I want to be able to see everything, at all times. The built-in search blows, I want a more “ala Google” kind of search. There is more, but you get the gist.
@prologic@twtxt.net standing up Mastodon isn’t that much complicated. It is just a little bit more demanding than Yarn, that’s all.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “looking forward to the next weekend”; I see what you did there! :-D
@movq@www.uninformativ.de fear not! We know we are animals that do things on cycles. We also copy each other. What’s old becomes new, over and over. It is bound to end… eventually.
I am not fond of it either.
@prologic@twtxt.net and by “y’all” you meant eapl, right? I noticed that too, and LOLed IRL. 🤣
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I feel blessed already! :-P
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I love it! Wish there were words like those in English! 🤣
Having slept for only 2 hours, I truly feel like, well, someone who has only slept 2 hours. 🤭 Can’t wait for lunch time to take a small nap.
Today I learned about “eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher”, and one is coming my way from Amazon. 😂
@prologic@twtxt.net, this is spam.
@abucci I understand, yes. JSON files are easier to manipulate with readily available tools. When I used GTS (not anymore, I run Mastodon because I didn’t want to have to wait for client APIs to catch up), I had it with SQLite configured. It was only one file, and I could manipulate it nicely with a bit of SQL knowledge.
@prologic@twtxt.net oh, I get that. I look at it this way: I prefer email, but I still get snail mail. Each has its use, right?
@abucci while mentioning Mastodon simpler alternatives, I think GoToSocial is worth one. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net right. It has the neat visual appeal (without going too much overboard), that could make a remake of Yarn UI better looking. For what I can see it is most feature rich, but haven’t compared them both in excruciating details to be absolutely sure.
That is not to say that Picnic CSS is bad, nor that I don’t like it. In a level of being decently simple, they both are. Bulma just comes across as more polished, that’s all.
@prologic@twtxt.net it is a matter of taste. I see Bulma as more complete.
@prologic@twtxt.net LOL. A landing “page” with just an image (animated GIF), nothing further. Hopefully that’s not what @aelaraji@aelaraji.com has in mind!
@prologic@twtxt.net you know, wives will always find something they don’t like. I think they did a good job. Wish it was cheaper, but considering the have to redo walls, tiles (floor and shower walls), relocate drain, and water lines, do new floor boards, painting, new cabinets, new toilet, new lights. I mean, it was truly an entire remodeling. Worth it.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com today I learned! Thank you! I shall use it at work to impress my Arabic speaking friends. Have an amazing week!
@prologic@twtxt.net sorry to hear that mate. Feel well! 🤗
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com it depends. It was decently busy around here (Yarn)! 🤭
This Sunday (currently 16:46 US EDT) I mowed our lawn, trimmed bushes, blowed the dust, then showered, went shopping, cooked, and just now finished eating steamed rice with chick peas stew, and finely cut spam air fried crispy. Yum! I want more, but got to stop the glutton in me. 😂
@prologic@twtxt.net well, if it is the master bathroom, and you are remodeling it whole, be prepared to dish out a chunk of money. We recently finished ours, and it was in the $28,000+ range. 😬
@movq@www.uninformativ.de such mental punishment! 😂😂😂
