@bender@twtxt.net Sadly my earlier Twt back in ~2020 is now gone from at least this pod’s cache 🤣 – It might still exist in other pods though? 🤔 It does! https://txt.sour.is/twt/o6dsrga

I think I would encourage anyone in this community is to care less about supporting “legacy clients” and focus more on value-add whilst balancing the burden of client authors – which have very precious little “spare time” 🤣

I do think integrating things like Salty.im might actually be a good idea. I can also see a future where we integrate other things like todo.txt and calendar.txt. I’d even love to see decentralised forms of “plain text” voting too.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I don’t see any “fighting” here. This is just good experimentation. Unfortunately there hasn’t really been enough time or effort by other “client authors” yet, me especially as I’ve been super busy with ya’ know my “day job” that pays the bills and refactoring yarnd to use a new and shiny and much better SqliteCache 🤣 – I certainly don’t think your efforts are wasted at all. I would however like @doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt encourage you to look at the work we’ve done as a community (which was also driven out of the Yarn.social / Twtxt community years back).

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club No worries! 👌

Morning y’all 👋

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Ahh I see 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes, it is a security hole. All dm-echo messages are readable. I intend it to be a debugging tool. Maybe I can include a warning message. If many of you see that it is a serious problem, I can remove the links.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev your feed is spitting out dupes? 🧐

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I honestly think IRC is better anyway 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Damn that’s a sexy pidgeon 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 😆

@bender@twtxt.net I think mentions are fixed 🤣

Oh hello @yarn_police@twtxt.net 🚨

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Why would you want that lol 😂

This is nuts. Lemme eat dinner first (pizza on the way!) and I’ll fix this utter nonsense 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net IRC man 🤣

Fascinating read on the emerging Model Context Protocol — a new standard for integrating LLMs with agents and tools.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev doesn’t this defeat the point of public cryptography?

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣

Dam the search here is sooo good now 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Now you have me thinking, which is better? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I will figure this out soon™ and fix, it’s annoying the fuck out of me 🤣

I personally really like the news minimalist (fuck it mentions are kind of broken atm here in the UI :/) feed myself, really good quality, very high signal 👌

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev It’s good advice 😅 I try to do this myself (please call me out if you ever catch me NOT doing this 🤣)

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Q: Why would you publish the private key? Hmmm 🧐

Cool. That’s fixed! 🥳 I believe we’re now syncing to 6 peers again now. Hopefully with similar behavior as before 🤞

Oops, I think this pod (twtxt.net) just sync ~1k missing root twts with god only knows which peers 🤦‍♂️ I forgot a couple of important key things:

• Only coverage with a subset of peers
  
• Only converge with trusted peers
  

Fuck me 🤣 Ooops. Sorry!

Nice! 😊

Peering is back 🤞

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Kind of a cool idea actually! 👌 I’ll follow and see what it’s like, thanks! 🙏

Broadcast Positioning System, as an alternative to GPS. Very cool 😎

@bender@twtxt.net Sweet! 🙌

How’s that? Please refresh and see if that’s fixed? 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net There is only one commit that I can think of that might be the cause here. Shall I revert and redeploy? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Seems fine here on my
iPhone? 🧐

Yeah same order of magnitude 👌 No relation mice other than the recent study that precisely measured the number of cells and connections in 1 cubic mm of brain tissue.

I was trying to optimize the SQL query used for the Compact FrontPage (anonymous view for Discovery when the Admin/Operator chooses “one twt per feed”).

Test

@thecanine@twtxt.net Did you see my revelation earlier today? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Pretty cool song I agree ☝️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Just needed to update the version of the tool I packaged as an OCI image 🤣

Add support for skipping backup if data is unchagned · 0cf9514e9e - backup-docker-volumes - Mills 👈 I just discovered today, when running backups, that this commit is why my backups stopped working for the last 4 months. It wasn’t that I was forgetting to do them every month, I broke the fucking tool 🤣 Fuck 🤦‍♂️

There are now two (recentish) quotes I really like these days:

The smartest person in the room is not the one with all the answers—it’s the one who’s brave enough to ask the dumb questions

and

The kindest person in the room is often the smartest

Haha 😆

Based on a recent study of the brains of mice I estimated the human brain to have 200B cells/neurons and 50,000T connections. We have several orders of magnitude to go before we reach that kind of scale with these fucking stupid Big LLMs 🤣 And the best part of all? 🧐 It is estimated that the human brain only consumes the equivalent of 5 Watts of power !!! 🤣🤣🤣

@bender@twtxt.net You will be pleased to know that yarnd now only consumes ~60-80MB of memory depending on load 🤣 And bugger all CPU 😅

And one more.

Reply?

Hmmm? Test?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice sunset 😎

@bender@twtxt.net Did you see the Singaporian president’s speech on this whole nonsense?! 😂 (trade wards, tariffs, free markets, etc)

@bender@twtxt.net Fair enough 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Technically no but we’ll talk more about this 👌

@bender@twtxt.net No insertion.

@bender@twtxt.net It’s a bug in the UI for sure. The hash is the primary key.

@bender@twtxt.net No, haven’t figured out the reproducer yet 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net I hate vendor lock-in too 🤣

Ordering issue is fixed 🥳

@bender@twtxt.neteapl.me@eapl.me test

@bender@twtxt.net Let’s just optimize/fix those annoyances later on once I’ve finished pagination. Then I’ll merge this branch into main.

@bender@twtxt.net Same size they always were.

@bender@twtxt.net Hmmm I can’t figure out how you did this 🤣

Or like this?

Like this? In the post box at the bottom?

@bender@twtxt.net Did you mean to mention me? 🧐

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Cool! 😎

@bender@twtxt.neteapl.me@eapl.me A few years ago or decades ago? 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Well done 👍

I believe the bug has been fixed 🥳

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Apologies, the basic summary is as follows:

• Decided to rewrite the cache backend.
  
• It will now be a SQLite backend going forward.
  
• I’m planning on no data migration.

@david@collantes.us yeah @movq@www.uninformativ.de and I discovered its a bug in lextwt last night 😢 We’ll fix it as soon as @xuu@txt.sour.is can 🤣

Anyway. this was a good use for search btw. I couldn’t find my Twt, so I just quickly searched for it, snap, bingo I found it in a snap! 🫰

@bender@twtxt.net Oh fuck you’re absolutely right!!! 🤣 I only posted this 13h ago 🤦‍♂️

ping? 🏓

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah I’m in the process of rewriting (incrementally) the cache storage backend. It’s now been live for at least a week now and pagination and peering are the last things left to do 🤞

@bender@twtxt.net Cute cat 🐱

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh this is coming back 403 Forbidden here btw 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Picture where? 🤔

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz No worries 😉

Yes you were right. It was technically a failure. It is very difficult to reconcile the differences between a distributed network and one that’s truly decentralized.

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it will if we continue to support the community on the ecosystem 🤣

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club @abucci@anthony.buc.ci – I’ve already spoken to @xuu@txt.sour.is on IRC about this, but the new SqliteCache backend I’m working on here, what are your thoughts regarding mgirations from old MemoryCache (which is now gone in the codebase in this branch). Do you care to migrate at all, or just let the pod re-fetch all feeds? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think we found a bug in the lextwt parser actually 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de I mean I have a camper trailer here out the front so we probably have plenty of room for a Yarn party in real life 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Actually @kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it is just Profile (top right) and then Muted.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Also very nice! Mf favourite has to be

@thecanine@twtxt.net I mean I can restore whatever anyone likes, the problem is the last backup I took was 4 months ago 😭 So I decided to start over (from scratch). Just let me know what you want and I’ll do it! I used the 4-month old backup to restore your account (by hand) and avatar at least 🤣

@thecanine@twtxt.net I’m so sorry I fucked things up 🥲 I hope you can trust I’ll try to do a better job of backups and data going forward 🤗

OH wait! 😳 Why am I storing the timestamp as created = 2025-04-07T19:59:51Z ?! 😱 @movq@www.uninformativ.de’s feed shows:

2025-04-07T19:59:51+00:00	I wonder if my current Linux installation will actually make it to 20 years:

    $ head -n 1 /var/log/pacman.log
    [2011-07-07 11:19] installed filesystem (2011.04-1)

It’s not toooo far into the future.

It would be crazy … 20 years without reinstalling once … phew. 🥴

Hmmmm

I’m so confused. None of this code has changed in yarnd at all. Hmmm 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Not according to the output of ./yarnc debug <your feed url>:

I’m thinking you may have edited. Lemme check actually… yarnd (on this branch) will now restore every version, and maybe I might have introduced a bit of a weird behavior there. One moment…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Apparently you wrote it :D The hash doesn’t lie? 🤣 https://twtxt.net/twt/znf6csa

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t think so? Why? 🤔

📣 I’m going to try and restore a few accounts tonight 🤞

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Looking 👀 Thanks! 🙏

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Fair enough! 😂 Also a good approach, change the environment 🤣
