slowing working away at my latest code project: learning PHP by recreating the 2000s fandom mainstay known as a fanlisting! it's been super fun i added a dynamic nav bar and other modifications in the latest commit
fanlistings even to this day rely on old PHP scripts dating back to the early 2000s that need whole ass mySQL or postgres DBs and are incredibly insecure. you can look at them here they're like super jank lol it's sad that new fanlistings have to use them because there's no other options....

@kat / @xuu Recommend you git checkout main && git pull
, rebuild and redeploy: make build
, and however you deploy. š Lots of fixes (_no more stalling_) and optimizations to the feed fetcher, smoother cpu usage, better internal metrics.
I'm not even being facetious here either. I'd llove to see you "unit tests" this:
@lyse Well you are being _slightly_ rude 𤪠Sure you could write unit tests for this, but in practise testing emergent properties and behaviors of a system is actually a lot harder than you might realize. But I'm happy to always be proven wrong š
@movq Indeed, a Wüstenmaus sounds cute. However, a Wüstenratte ā which is more a desert rat ā not so much.
@prologic ODD, lol. I don't wanna be rude, but this sounds more like Code And Fix.
We just split about one and a half cubic meters of fire wood at our scout yard. And even more chainsaw action to cut the logs in smaller chunks. I'm bloody tired now. But it was really great fun swinging the axe. I will sleep like a rock tonight.

@kat Yeah right now I'm trying to see if I can "spread the CPU usage of fetching N feeds across M duration" so basically "smooth" out the spikes in CPU usage.

@prologic nice! lol that's such a real way to develop
@prologic nice! lol that's such a real way to develop
@kat I've almost fixed this btw š¤ Just testing it thoroughly and polihsing the code. In case you're curious, I do this style of development called "Observability Driven Development" (ODD) whereby I make observations of the system via metrics and internal observations and adjust the system's overall behavior to the desired outcome š

@andros I set up a test feed here:
https://www.uninformativ.de/texudus.txt
I made some preliminary adjustments to my client so that it can work with the different threading model. (And I totally get the concerns, this can be quite a bit of work. Especially in a large code base like Yarn.)

@movq @kat @quark In 2014 one person created protocol ii. Later it forked in IDEC. Why i said this? Because it's simple "federated" forum-like protocol where from your station fetch another every 5-10 minutes. Stations has topic-based channels like idec.talks, linux.16, haiku.os, zx.spectrum. In short it's FIDO but.. more modern? Documentation: https://github.com/idec-net/new-docs (mostly Russian, but you can use translator, also protocol already translated to english)

@e8959 Gopher is thriving in the underground scene! *rimshot* I use it a lot for little tasks. The Archive.org interface on Gopher is sweet.
Hey @kat If you see this, I'm aware of a bug. I'm trying to figure it out and fix it. bare with me š¤ It is what's causing things to "stall" and to have to "restart". Sorry š

@bender Mainly the bsd.cafe ones. I like how the minimalist single column profiles look. Image embeds are full width and reading through threads feels nice (as in it doesn't feel like pealing layers upon layers of a fresh onion).

@bender Yes, you right. But is premium for more than that.
I use a feature I love a lot: customising different searches with different themes or links.
It's easy to understand with an example. I have a search with the name "Django". I set sources: Django documentation, stack overflow, topic "programming" and so on. It's very quick to find Django solutions.
I also have another way to find my stuff: search my blog and repositories.
I had problems paying for the first mouths, now it's a working tool for me.
We went on a 14Ā kilometers long hike in the heat, only a few spots were in the shade, most of our trip was in the open fields with the sun beating down on us. We reapplied the sun blocker after about two hours or so. All in all it took us about three and a half hours before we reached our destination Besigheim.
Last time I was there it was rainy, now we had the exact opposite. After some yummy Chinese lunch we visited the old town. There's some gorgeous timer framing to see. When kept in decent shape, it just looks so dang cool.
Since it was too hot, we rode back by train. Despite the heat and some sections near the roaring Autobahn, this was a nice hike. Would do it again. Only in colder weather, though. I certainly don't wanna trade my comperatively larger (still nothing to other more rural areas), covering forests with the wide open fields and vineyards in summer. That's for sure.

@kat Off-topic areas are always a good idea. :-) Web forums often had those. And web forums are actually what I had in mind, @bender. š
(While I do have a certain nostalgia for it *now*, Usenet has always been a bit weird to me. Canāt really explain why.)

So, the āAIā bots have reached my website. Looks like theyāre just slowly crawling everything at the moment ā no DDoS-like attack yet. I wonder if that has something to do with my website being 100% static HTML. There are no GET parameters they can tweak and, at the end of the day, thereās not *that much* data on my server anyway ⦠And maybe they have no idea what stagit is, so it doesnāt trigger āstandard behaviorā, like āthis is a Gitea instance, letās crawl this like crazy!ā?

@quark Despite the Reddit part (I never understood it), this is a great analysis. I could not have put it any better. I also feel quite home here with the all feeds I follow. It's a small bunch of good people.
The temperatures are getting pleasant now. All the freshly cut grass really smells lovely. Looks like farmers are securing their harvests before the rain hits tomorrow in the arvo.
@bender no such luck, not happening. It's almost 04:00 in Brisbane, just wait a bit until the @prological son awakens.
I wonder if this twtxt will kick Yarnd into working again. There is only one way to find out, right?
@movq not bad! The yellowish/ivory tint makes it much easier on the eyes. I have gotten so use to "dark" mode, that find it hard switching to anything else.
@movq mine too, mine too! Imagine my frustration being married to someone who prefers the heat. It's like a polar bear married to a desert rat. LOL.
@movq "*topic-based forums/groups*", you mean what USENET used to be, and the "niche" that Reddit is fulfilling these days? :-D I get it, I agree. I think I find twtxt more fulfilling than anything else because of its small size. I feel like I truly know everyone (even if that might not be true), and find myself "at home". The bigger the place, the shyest I become, the less enticing it is.*

@prologic i gave up on trying to get my local branch clean and just git clone
'd main
into a new directory and built from there LMAOOO it was such a mess i'm not good at git
i saw your commits fixing queue issues, fingers crossed it works on my end!
