@prologic How does yarn.social's API fix the problem of centralization? I still need to know whose API to use.
Say I see a twt beginning (#hash) and I want to look up the start of the thread. Is the idea that if that twt is hosted by a a yarn.social pod, it is likely to know the thread start, so I should query that particular pod for the hash? But what if no yarn.social pods are involved?
The community seems small enough that a registry server should be able to keep up, and I can have a couple of others as backups. Or I could crawl the list of feeds followed by whoever emitted the twt that prompted my query.
I have successfully used registry servers a little bit, e.g. to find a feed that mentioned a tag I was interested in. Was even thinking of making my own, if I get bored of my too many other projects :-)

@mckinley Why is it so hard so you think? 🤔 What's missing to make this an easy choice for folks? 🤔

@movq Thanks, it works!
But when I tried it out on a twt from @prologic, I discovered jenny and yarn.social seem to disagree about the hash of this twt: https://twtxt.net/twt/st3wsda . jenny assigned it a hash of 6mdqxrq but the URL and prologic's reply suggest yarn.social thinks the hash is st3wsda. (And as a result, jenny --fetch-context didn't work on prologic's twt.)

i know i can't keep living in this dead or dying dream..
no but linux containers aren't secure. yeah, they're administrative boundaries. a sandbox would be nice, but this isn't Sun. we have fallen from grace. tape the box closed with AppArmor if you need to and flip the exact 11 switches that apply for your impending scenario. i'm sure nobody will steal your data.
@mckinley I used the official client, but logged on my PDS, running under my control.

Serious open (for anyone) question: what makes you follow someone on twtxt? Will you just follow anyone that you come across, simply because that someone using the "decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers" microblog?
Not even the slightest chance on the link. Like an absolute zero. On the hashtag, I subscribe.

@bender Yes yes but this is exactly my point! We again have a social network claiming to be "decentralized" only to have " top heavy" instances 🤣 -- Mastodon is the same too 😅

@prologic you can run your own Personal Data Server (PDS), to which you login to, and your data is kept. If you use BlueSky servers, you are at their mercy.
@slashdot Hang on a minute!!! 😱

I thought BlueSky was supposed to be a decentralized social metwork?! 🤦♂️

@cuaxolotl Ah, thanks for reporting back! Okay, so you’re basically manually “crawling” feeds right now. 🤔 What do you think about the idea of adding something like # follow_notify = gemini://foo/bar to your feed’s metadata, so that clients who follow you can ping that URL every now and then? How would you even notice that, do you regularly read your gemini logs? 🤔

Confession: I completely forgot that Alt+Tab existed in text mode. 🤦 It’s not even a hidden feature, it’s advertised right when you start a fullscreen dos box. Well, Alt+Tab wasn’t a thing I did regularly anyway – it was usually Ctrl+Esc to open the window list (which also worked in OS/2). 🤔 I *think* I only started using Alt+Tab when Windows 95 removed Ctrl+Esc (because it had no use anymore, it essentially got replaced by the tasklist).

Introduction to JuiceFS | JuiceFS Document Center -- Thinking about using JuiceFS to solve a long-running problem I've always had.
- Be able to run services on _any_ node in my cluster and let Docker Swarm pick whatever node it likes (_instead of now where I have to pin some workloads to specific nodes, as that's where their local storage volume is_)
- Manage the scalability of data and growth over time instead of what I do now which is to extend EXT4 filesystems on my Docker Swarm nodes every few years.

@bender Yeah that's for sure 👍 I use the Monaco font normally. Been using that for a few years now.

I understand now. I figured it would be something like this, because zooming in on pixelated fonts makes them “blocky”, and overall unreadable.
We sure have come a long way to make things better for people with far from perfect vision. It also makes me appreciate the vision I have.
Which font do you use at the Terminal?
As a reminder, this is how zoomed in I normally am to read anything at all, Try doing this on the website 🤣

Fonts for me have to be crisp, sharp, without any crooked edges or boxed shapes. It has to be crisp and sharp at all zoom levels!

@bender That's just it, "pixelated" fonts are rubbish! 🤣 Imagine being blind for a moment, how well do you think you could read any of the text? 😅 I can't even read it zoomed in! LOL 😝

@prologic really? Are you talking about the website design, or the font itself? The font is a monospaced variant, relatively good looking for a pixel font.
