@prologic woot, finally! 🥳🥳🥳
@prologic I didn’t. Share a link? I would love to watch it!
@lyse now, that's what I am talking about! Having been witness of similar sunsets, I would wholeheartedly agree that a photo (no matter how good!) is a poor replacement for not being able to spectate it in person.
@ionores that ought to be some photo! I change mine at least once a month or so. It keeps me entertained.
ABC Australia is reporting of a potential market manipulation in the US. Potential? I would call it almost certain. For as much as I would like not to be dragged into politics, it is rather impossible these days.
Yup, it is certainly something on the codebase here. /end of test
@bendereapl.me let's see how this mention comes out. I noticed that @kat's pod doesn't have this problem. That is, their mention to you works fine.
@prologic so, the twtxt is "lost"? Don't rush to reply, I think you deserve your sleep time! Have a nice weekend!
@prologic in this case it isn't vendor lock-in. I believe they do it because the carrier "eats" the costs (the interest part of the instalments). The phones are fully unlocked.

I will return the two we got for parents, and re-buy them again, this time on an instalment plan. Why pay $2,000 up front when you can split the cost in convenient monthly payments, all interest free, right?
@prologic interesting. What would happen on a hash collision? 🤔
@prologic is it twice on database, or simply rendering twice? If you manually expunge it, will it affect the yarn?
@prologic yay! One down! 😅 Have you figured out the single duplication issue?
LOL, and the mention to the @benderyarn_police@twtxt.net police broke!
I think this is a case for... (blow trumpets) "The @benderyarn_police@twtxt.net"!
Hmm, Yarnd is duplicating the rendering of /twt/5jlfuua. That's quite odd.
@lyse that's such a beautiful shot! If I were you I would use the full "original" one; it will do better justice to the shots. Oh, and I gladly take your 15°C! 😍
One was able to purchase iPhones on instalments (and interest free), whether they were associated with a carrier, or not. The only way to buy them on instalments now is if the are associated with a carrier; otherwise one gets charged the full amount up front.

So, yeah, going to return a couple of those this weekend.
@aelaraji oh yeah! You will feel in heaven, me thinks, because that new machine will go around the Pi a few laps. Have fun, mate!
@bendereapl.me@eapl.me just testing this mention, to see which random nick will be picked. Related, I agree, those animations are truly awesome!
@prologic sounds like a plan! No worries at all.
@prologic, is it my idea, or the size of avatars have gotten smaller?
@prologic me neither! Let’s put it on the “Greatest Mysteries of Yarn” list, and move on. 😅
@prologic nope, I simply replied to the yarn, without mentioning anyone in specific.
@prologic sweet! Is it going to be your new all-around desktop, or the hobbyist server, or all of the above?
Finally lawn is mowed---well, the one at the front, the wild forest in the back will have to wait a bit longer. I haven't clocked my 10,000 steps today, but what I didn't walking, I did through full body "exercise". Will call it a day. 😅
Aside from fetching feeds every three minutes (which kind of adds mystery to this puzzle), I think there is something else going on with the client you are using, @andros. Some of those twtxts are seconds apart, making me truly stumped. 😅
Hmm, I truly wonder what's happening here?

@kat, your forum (Angel) is dishing out a 502.
@andros it's @aelaraji's cat. His name is Lord Oscar.
@prologic LOL, the conversation is very short, and your initial twtxt is just right there! Geez! Hahahaha, silly Aussie! 😅
@prologic give it some time. Twtxt is very asynchronous, and travels at the speed of mules. It might take a while to reach the intended destination. 😅
@aelaraji has things tight up so securely well, that's it's impossible to hotlink. 😅
And trying again.

@prologic this was the intended picture.

Lord Oscar, the affable cat
@prologic “Indiana, let it go” 😂
@thecanine contribution mine:

> “Any art I posted here, can be found through my (now almost—thanks to @lyse—entirely HTML 5 complient) website.”
@lyse nice! My favourite from this series is this one.

My favourite
@thecanine woot, woot, woot!
The actual hash is fs7673q.
See:

Screenshot showing twt not found.
@prologic that's not what I see. The hash znf6csa cannot be found.
Hahahaha! It is, doesnm is unmentionable!
@kat I think it happens if you don't follow them. Replies used to be broken if so, but not sure if @prologic ever fixed that. I used not to follow him, so that he would see the broken mentions, and feel shame (he didn't, he is *shameless*! LOL), but ever since the re-creation of my account I just decided to follow, so I don't know if the issue is fixed or not.

I know mentioning @xuudoesnm.p.psf.lt was broken too. Maybe still is? We'll see.
Adding to this, we already tried. It didn't go too well. Slightly related---because it is a third party "integration"---I might be a "smaller group" member, but I don't care much about one-way feeds (mostly RSS from blogs, news articles, etc.) either.
I am not interested at all. If I want to interact/socialise/whatever on the Fediverse (which I do), I simply use it. I would like to keep twtxt separate.
@kat you will dazzle that therapist, regardless. You got this! And to Lucy, "oh hai!" :-)
@prologic, from IRC:

1. Saving preferences is failing. Specifically trying to save "Open Links" on the same window. For sure it isn't happening. Check errors on browser's console.
2. Search results pagination is broken. Search for "twtxt.net" and see it. Also, picking oldest/newest makes no difference on that search query.
@kat I am sure @prologic would not mind sending an invite. Ping him!
@prologic let's all go to Australia! We crash on prologic's house; got enough inflatable mattresses, mate? 😅
@prologic remember to fix this. Where did "xuu" come from? :-D
@prologic I did, and it did. I am more than rubbish at CSS, so there!
@prologic is that a rhetorical question? :-D
It's on yarn.min.css, whatever that comes from. I think padding: 0; is all it needs.
@prologic there is a space on the first line on that codeblock. I think this one is the culprit:


pre>code {
    padding:0 .25rem;
}
@prologic I can live without highlights. Actually, I prefer not to have them. A good search is all I want.
@prologic pretty neat, search actually works now!
@movq having a similar one here, and it is only 11:41. Ugh!
@prologicdoesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt 😂😂😂
@kat call her Gata. 😂
@prologic yup yup. Much work to be done, so little time. 😩
@movq one less dead account! 😅
Hey, hey, I am back. I lost all my worthless twtxts, but at least I still have the blackjack and hookers!
@prologic sleep. Sleep. 😅
@prologic yeah, mate, rest. Happy 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. 😅
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?
@prologic so, what’s new? Is the backend SQLite now? It is behaving, or still gobbling up all your RAMs?
@prologic no, see the site “Source” on the footer.
@prologic it is. It is going oom? 😅
@kat that site is pretty cool, I like what you have done with it, colours and all! 😍
@xuu don’t blame me, blame The Maker. 😅
(#vi62rlq) I meant to tag @movq but forgot. LOL. There, done.
I got some assembly for you: https://images.gatesnotes.com/12514eb8-7b51-008e-41a9-512542cf683b/34d561c8-cf5c-4e69-af47-3782ea11482e/Original-Microsoft-Source-Code.pdf
@xuu everyday is an April Fools day that comes true in the US, for the next four years. 😩
@eapl.me awesome, and thank you! Sorry I missed all that in the noise. I truly am a TL;DR fan! 😂
I am confused (maybe I missed what they said, or didn't read well). What was "Sonora Taqueria" answer to the cease and desist demand letter[1]? Did the accusers simply dropped their suit efford, or was "Sonora Taqueria" able to make their case (see [1])?
@prologic you mean, "I'll ix this oon 😂" ™
@eapl.me a “minimalistic” one too, just like Yarnd. 😅
@lyse 1000% superior!
Are you all forgetting today’s April’s Fool? 🤣
@prologic that's you, and me, and some others. Sadly, though, a huge majority (I don't have sources, or numbers, but "trust me, bro" :-P) will simply, gladly, and unapologetically, pirate.
@lyse 🤣🤣🤣
@xuu 👍🏻
@prologic is it up? How can we tell?
I see nothing wrong with the "implications". I would call them features. I think this will be the best thing that happened to Yarn since the subject extension.
@prologic I noticed that the hash also shows (as in clearly visible) on the “in-reply-to”. That doesn’t happen with any other client—well, at least not with Yarn, nor jenny.
@prologic show, or it didn’t happen. 😜
@eapl.me other than getting a pseudo tally, what else do you aim to accomplish from this? That is, what is the tangible expectation?
@prologic what did you come up with, to accomplish it?
@eapl.me you wrote, partially:

> "I’d like to change that. It’s by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these."

I wish you well, and good luck! 😅
@andros and how will that help "discover people"? I am missing something, I am sure, as I don't understand.

Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds. So one would script a way to often (and/or ongoing) check your web server logs for new mentions, "follows", etc.
@doesnm why? The Gemini protocol is an obscure, niche, good-for-nothing (yeah, I am trolling) protocol. Search for "Gemini", and tell me in which page, on your search engine of choice, you see it being referred as a protocol.
@xuu it is called “reaffirmation”. It is a lesser known feature that activates randomly to make sure you get the gist on things that matter. 😅
Did you demoed Yarn? When it comes to less friction nothing can beat a web browser!
@prologic Gemini has an answer for you:

This is a conversation thread from a twtxt network, detailing a user's (movq) frustration with the Mastodon "export data" feature and their consideration of self-hosting a fediverse alternative. Here's a summary:

* movq's initial issue:
* movq is concerned about the volatility of their data on their current Mastodon instance due to a broken "export data" feature.
* They contacted the admins, but the issue remains unresolved.
* This led them to contemplate self-hosting.
* Alternative fediverse software suggestions:
* kat suggests gotosocial as a lightweight alternative to Mastodon.
* movq agrees, and also mentions snac as a potential option.
* movq's change of heart:
* movq ultimately decides that self-hosting any fediverse software, besides twtxt, is too much effort.
* Resolution and compromise:
* The Mastodon admins attribute the export failure to the size of movq's account.
* movq decides to set their Mastodon account to auto-delete posts after approximately 180 days to manage data size.
* Movq also mentions that they use auto-expiring links on twtxt to reduce data storage.*
