@prologic I won't see any activity again, unless somebody else I follow interacts with them. Yep, fetching the feeds still happens with a patched version of the original twtxt client. tt is just a viewer of the database contents.
(Hmmm, I think I could add the time of the last twt to the output of jenny -l. 🤔 Currently it only shows the last successful retrieval time.)

I _think_ the next cleanup I'll do is to delete any account that was created, and then used within some time window and never used again. Does that make sense? 🤔

Righto, it's time for a rotation into archive feeds again.
I just cleared my following list. Kicked out all the 26 feeds that have not been updated for two years or more. This will reduce a bit of useless traffic.
@prologic I figured, yep.
@prologic Does one need a build timestamp anyway? That's an enemy to reproducible builds. Maybe just use the commit timestamp? That would work at least for official releases. It would be off for dirty working directories during development, though: git show -s --pretty=format:%cI

Snikket is a front end to xmpp which does have e2e encryption through either pgp or omemo.

@prologic One minor detail: The Makefile wants to run date -Is, which doesn’t exist on OpenBSD. Not sure how relevant this platform is for you, though. 😅

I haven’t come up with a portable solution yet. date '+%FT%T%z' is the closest approximation that works on both GNU and OpenBSD, but it doesn’t include a colon in the time zone offset, so it’s 0200 instead of 02:00. 🤦 I’m not sure if this is ISO8601 compliant. And it’s still not POSIX. 🤦 Well, I tried. 😂

@prologic Newcomers might have a little difficulty because just “installing” a Go compiler is not enough – you also need to add ~/go/bin to your $PATH, at least I did. I’m not sure what to do about it, though. 🤔 This doesn’t really belong into Yarn’s setup guide and it’s mentioned as one of the first things in the Arch wiki, for example, but still … To newcomers this might look a bit like a broken build process:


openbsd$ gmake server
/bin/sh: minify: not found
/bin/sh: minify: not found
/bin/sh: minify: not found
gmake: *** [Makefile:84: generate] Error 127


Maybe extend Yarn’s guide just a *little* bit, like: “… be sure to have Go installed and set up properly, e.g. env vars are set …”? Maybe that could point readers into the right direction. 🤔

What I don’t like about my strategy is that it’s so slow. ☹️ I did change a lot of data this time, so it’s slower than usual, but still …

The backup run from my main workstation onto the NAS took 2.5 hours. The one from my laptop to the NAS took 1.75 hours (hmm, why the difference?). (Those two ran one after the other, not at the same time.)

The backup run from my NAS onto one of the USBs disks is still running, I started it 5.5 hours ago. I hope it’ll finish within the next 2 hours.

Most of this is CPU-bound, because I’m using full disk encryption everywhere and that NAS only has a tiny AMD C-60 CPU from ~2011 which runs at 1 GHz and doesn’t even have a CPU fan. I guess I could upgrade this box, but it’s still *working*, just slow, so I won’t throw it in the trash – and what do I do with it then? Can’t sell it, can’t gift it to anyone. So I’ll keep using it.~

Apparently there are some ~30 users (_real people_) that actively use my pod twtxt.net 😳 in the past 90 days. 😅 The question I have is; what can we do as a small community here? 🤔 We have an Open Collective; but it doesn't receive enough funds to be useful enough (yet?) to pay for small projects and continuous improvements.

What else can we do? 🤔

Additionally there are 7 other pods online too 😅 But not sure of their stats...~

I will one day write a dedicated service however, as I _think_ that's the only reasonable way to do integrate Twtxt and ActivityPub realistically.

@prologic I just set up a Yarn instance from scratch and, honestly, I don’t think a yarnd setup is needed. 🤔

I followed the instructions here and they were simple enough: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/branch/main/README.md#configuring-your-pod

It needs a little polishing (for example, it says COOKIE_SECRET is optional which it isn’t), but it was a good experience overall.

Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer reading installation instructions. And I believe that *not* having something like yarnd setup nudges you (the author) into keeping those instructions short and concise. Whereas the existence of yarnd setup means that you can cram everything and the kitchen sink in there, because it’s convenient. That can lead to a convoluted setup process – and me, the user, does not really know what that command really does, which is something that I, personally, don’t like. 😅
