It is scary to read, in the context of potential Ukranian elections, that the problem with online voting would be the possibility of an attack like the one that happened against Kyivstar phones in december 2023, making the internet inaccessible for 48 hours.

Sure, access attacks are worrisome, but the dangers and attack surfaces on online voting are a lot bigger (and discrete) than that. Assuming that online voting is secure and the only problem is having access to it is dangerous, especially in a country facing the problems Ukraine is living, and attacks from Russia that has a track record in digital attacks and electoral influence.

@prologic I wonder what this will do to my followers list. I suspect there were a lot of dead accounts out there. 😅

Estou trabalhando na Av. Paulista hoje e infelizmente dá pra ver que tem muita gente seriamente iludida neste país. Não precisa nem ser fã de uma visão política/econômica, ou de outra, para ver que rolam outras coisas aí, vai além do populismo e é preocupante.
This is such an interesting reading

@prologic Spring cleanup! That's one way to encourage people to self-host their feeds. :-D

Since I'm only interested in the url metadata field for hashing, I do not keep any comments or metadata for that matter, just the messages themselves. The last time I fetched was probably some time yesterday evening (UTC+2). I cannot tell exactly, because the recorded last fetch timestamp has been overridden with today's by now.

I dumped my new SQLite cache into: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/backup.tar.gz This time maybe even correctly, if you're lucky. I'm not entirely sure. It took me a few attempts (date and time were separated by space instead of T at first, I normalized offsets +00:00 to Z as yarnd does and converted newlines back to U+2028). At least now the simple cross check with the Twtxt Feed Validator does not yield any problems.
@prologic Well, if we really wanted to, I guess @lyse and I could provide you with our copies of that time period. 😆
@prologic RIP 💀 Well, shit happens. 😅

Tem uns 3 José Luis Villares: um na Flórida (aparece nas buscas em umas notícias escabrosas), um na Espanha (político?), e mais um na Argentina. Esse último parece que usou o meu endereço de gmail numa conta do Banco Galicia e eu não consigo de jeito nenhum parar os emails do banco que recebo pra ele. Já tentei avisar o banco, mas é impossível falar com alguém.
@bender What do you mean? The way things are written hopefully hasn't changed at all 🤞
Works okay hmmm what's up?
@bender Like this?

O programa eleitoral do #PS deste ano já é público, acessível em https://ps.pt/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/programa-eleitoral.pdf . Têm insistido nos últimos dias em chamar-lhe uma "actualização" ao programa do ano anterior, por isso decidi comentá-lo desse prisma. Este comentário foca-se apenas nos assuntos do #digital, visto já ser minha tradição fazer isso.

1) Depois de ter saído em 2024, infelizmente o tema do voto eletrónico voltou aos programas do PS, e volta com a mesma lenga-lenga do tempo do Costa: referem o teste feito em Évora fingindo ter sido uma experiência positiva, ignorando o fiasco que foi;

2) A interoperabilidade deixou de ser uma preocupação geral para ser só uma preocupação em determinados sectores (SS, SNS, educação, etc.);

3) As modas antigas e as modas novas: PS este ano fala ainda mais sobre IA. Também fala em "volume de negócios gerado por IA em Portugal, com recurso a tecnologias do tipo Web 3", e alguém me explique o que é que isto quer dizer - de preferência alguém do PS, e não outras pessoas a tentarem (como eu) adivinhar o que é que eles queriam potencialmente ter dito;

4) Ética digital nos currículos escolares parece-me bem na teoria, mas sou o único em ter dúvidas sobre o que é, para o PS que propõe coisas como o voto eletrónico, ética digital?

And now, let's finish it off with Besigheim's old town. Only when we left, the sun peaked through the clouds. That was a bit unfortunate, but what can you do? It has some nice buildings. https://lyse.isobeef.org/besigheim-2025-03-30/

Today, we had a cleanup day with the scouts. I estimate that we ended up with about half a metric ton of rubbish. Despite the heat it was really great fun.

All the garbage delivered to the municipal building yard
woot fixed edits and deletes 🤣 Okay okay g'night (_fer realz now!_) 😴

One more update 🤣
@bender Okay 👍
@prologic In all my two Go projects I use modernc.org/sqlite and can't complain. Works great for me.
@prologic sleep. Sleep. 😅
@bender I was a bit confused at first what that is: Apparently, it’s the source code of Altair BASIC: https://gizmonaut.net/soapflakes/EXE-199711.html

(Of course they have a user agent filter. 😂 Can’t download that PDF with wget.)

I’ve been using GIMP 3.0 for a few weeks now and it’s great. New features and I got rid of two custom plugins because they’re in core now. Literally nothing broke for me. And I really appreciate that they kept the familiar UI (instead of changing things just for the sake of change).

Thank you! 🥳

if someone can help me create a list of things that are either not working or behaving in an unexpected/indescribable way, please list them, in some order of priority, and I'll focus on fixing them tomorrow. G'night! 😴 (_leaving this pod on the highly experimental SqliteCache backend_)
I think yes
Do I add a function to delete a Twt if it was an Edit/Delete from the user?
Because this cache behaves very differently compared to the old cache. Feeds are never overwritten like they used to!
Fuck! 🤣 Yes this makes sense! Now you'll see edits too 😱
Wait...
Confirmed fix 🥳
EDIT: Testing a fucked typo if I can
@bender Soon™ 🔜
Fixed. Rolling out shortly...
@prologic yeah, mate, rest. Happy Sunday!
@bender Thanks I'll fix that!
@bender LOL 😂 Bitcask is still the user database bahahaha 😅
@bender Of course 🤣
@bender Hah, gonna have to go to bed though I think. I hope no-one minds too badly that there are going to be bugs for and weird stuff for a bit. I'll try to fix more things tomorrow (Sunday). 👌
@prologic also, if you edit, the subject gets duplicated. See my previous twtxt.
(#jihhx5a) @prologic of course! If you mention someone, and immediately after the mention you put a comma, the mentions breaks. At least when mentioning someone outside twtxt.net. I don't think this relates to the backend change, but still.
@prologic I agree. I never liked that Bitcask. Not even the name I like. LOL.
@prologic admit it, you are just looking to chat with anyone to overstress the pod, and see how it behaves. Hahahahahaha! :-P
@prologic I will hold up the celebration for a day, or two. Or a week. 😅
Pod feels a bit snapper for sure....
@bender Dunno 🤷 so far uptime is 4m so maybe not? 🤣
@bender Answered :D
@bender I did, but wasn't sure so I asked 🤣
@bender Backend is SQLite now. I switched drivers and so far so good. 'm seeing very stable CPU utilization, and a stable memory consumption of under 100MB
@bender As soon as the drop the notion of "old" twts, drop the re-fetch all feeds. Yes.
_some_ things _may_ be broken or not quite right. LMK! 🙏
@bender Sort of, still fixing bugs. I had so much trouble with this sqlite driver, that in the end I swithced it to another driver and so far so good 😊 fingers crossed 🤞
Hmmm, I am seeing lots of feeds I never saw before. One of the perks of the new backend?
If using SQLite, are we eventually going to see more twtxts under our user profiles, or?
