@mckinley That’s the file sharing stuff, right? I couldn’t care less about that. Frankly, I think it’s a shame that Usenet turned into that. 🫤

@movq This is fair 😅 Most development with Twtxt / Yarn.socail continues to be "asynchronous" and "slow" in nature 🤣 -- regardless of whether we see you on IRC or not 😅

@prologic can you drop a link to the repository with those scripts?
@movq It's a very low-traffic channel. At least when I usually idle around. :-)
(Btw, I deliberately don’t join #yarn.social all the time. If I did, I suspect that a couple of development discussions would move over from twtxt to IRC. 🤪 Okay, and I often prefer slow asynchronous communication.)

@prologic @falsifian This just popped up in my head: How about adding a “fetch context” feature? Point jenny to some mail file that contains a twt (or pipe it to stdin) and it will try to auto-discover and fetch all related things. Like, if it sees something like (#tkjafka) @<falsifian https://www.falsifian.org/twtxt.txt>, then it will look in https://www.falsifian.org/twtxt.txt for a twt with hash tkjafka. Maybe even do this recursively until there are no new references anymore. This process *could* include explicitly querying some user-configurable Yarn pods as well. 🤔
It won’t always work. There’s no guarantee that tkjafka will be present in the given URL.
Hmm. 🤔

@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 :/

@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. 😂
