@bender No idea, but I haven’t used GNOME since 2008. 😅 I, too, like Xfce much better. Xfce (and KDE to some degree) look and feel rather “traditional”, though. You get a standard taskbar and that’s it. Maybe that’s too oldfashioned? 🤷 I’m just speculating.

You might have seen me popping up on IRC. This is how it looks:
https://movq.de/v/3a4f9833f3/
That’s EZirc from the 1990ies. (It says it needs Warp 4, but runs fine on Warp 3.)
Lots of this old stuff still works (technically), but as @lyse said: A lot of it really is dead. There’s not much going on anymore in Usenet.

@falsifian Yeah this is a good idea. Opening up the little tiny API that yarnd has for "peering" between pods for this reason. It's quite simple really and its _actually_ open publicly, so you can just use the scripts I wrote.
One thing to bare in mind is that Twtxt (_the original spec_) is largely dead, this included the registry. The registry in practise was never really widely used, and suffers from "centralization" -- Which registry do you use? Its for this reason we built a search engine/crawler to help with searching and discovery. Anyway I digress... LMK if you want to go down this path, happy to document it beyond the scripts I wrote.

@prologic Yes, fetching the twt by hash from some service could be a good alternative, in case the twt I have does not -mention the source. (Besides yarnd, maybe this should be part of the registry API? I don't see fetch-by-hash in the registry API docs.)

@aelaraji I had to nuke the search engine's database last night due to a bug in a dependency that got fixed, but left me with a corrupted index :/

After four of these I am starting to feel really good. 🤭 Cheers!

@bender Good question! XFCE us a better choice IMO

@aelaraji interesting you mention this, because I have the same approach. Even on the machines I control, I tend to prefer mainly text over anything bigger.
I make exceptions on twtxt.net every once and then because I know @prologic has an in-house, multi-terabyte solution begging to be used. 😂
Why so many Linux distributions come with Gnome as their default desktop environment? What makes Gnome so great? It has been a resource hog, in my experience.
@tkanos it seems you are the perfect candidate to test it, then. Go for it, and bring us the good--hopefully--news! 🤣

@prologic Cool, simplification is gold. Non-existent code is the best code. :-)

@bender yeah, I think so as well. Hell I can't even get myself to upload much media files on the fedi-platforms knowing they'll be hosted out of someone else's pocket, someone with no ROI in mind but other's freedom of expression.

@prologic I think this would impose a burden on resources to poderators, unless the cache is deleted automatically after a configurable period of time.
@bender What multiplexer do you use? I usually use Tmux and have my prefix mapped to C-a on my local machine and the default C-b on the remote ones so they don't conflict if it helps.

Alacritty doesn't support TABs. Running a multiplexer locally doesn't work well when you run another on your remote session. Uuuuuuugh! Nothing is ever perfect.
I fully support "small scale" and "slow" here. I think if you're going to be successful at "self hosting" that's kind of the design and architecture you need to go for IMO.

@aelaraji Me neither. I did a bit of research but couldn't find anything. So if we created something, it'd have to be our own thing I think.

@aelaraji Would there be any standard way of indicate this behavior at all that you're aware of? Any special way of linking the image? Or something? Hmmm 🧐

@aelaraji Ahh cool! Thank you 🙏 FWIW yarnd has a built-in feature similar to this too where an operator (_what we call a poderator_) has to "whitelist" domains that _may_ serve images before it'll render them inline at all (_to prevent abuse_).

@prologic I wouldn't mind that for the bigger images, although, my main problem is with the scrappers and other platforms that nuke my RPi whenever I post a link out there... yes! I mean Mastodon 😆
BTW! I've just white listed twtxt.net ... you should be able to see the embedded image by now.

@aelaraji Ahh I see! Interesting 🧐 Would you prefer that clients like yarnd prefetch resources liks this, cache them and serve the cached copy? 🤔

@prologic it's a Clownflare option to prevent images on your website from being embedded on other websites. It helps with my low bandwidth resources. And I believe you can set-up similar rules with Nginx, I'm just too lazy to do it manually RN.

@movq confirming that the issue isn't present when using alacrity. Wow.

I just realized, this is the last Saturday of the month. So Yarn.social meetup is up again tomorrow. Same time as last time if anyone is interested/around to join and hang out!

@aelaraji What does "hotlinking" even mean? What feature and web server has this? I've never heard of this before till now 😅

@prologic I think I have hotlinking disabled somewhere ... I'll try and fix it this evening.

@tkanos nah, I will pass. :-) I mean, it is useful for someone, I am sure. Just not for me.
Oh, wow, copying the URL works. What kind of trickery is that?! LOL.
@prologic yeah, getting the same on South East US.
@aelaraji not inconvenience at all. Just something out of the ordinary. :-) I thought it might have been a jenny's bug, only reason I brought it up. LOL.
@off_grid_living hmm, are we talking about the same "GOD"?

🤔 or...
> "However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them"
Is that him? Empowering and wise, indeed.

@bender My index formatting is intact, probably because I still haven't figured out how to set up my terminal to show RTL text correctly! 😅 but hey, that won't be a problem anymore, I don't feel like twting in Arabic. Sorry for the inconvenience.
