irc.mills.io running behind Caddy Layer 4. However I don't terminate TLS at the edge in this case.
restic for that reason and the fact that it's pretty rock solid. I have zero complaints 😅
- 2016 – Twtxt created by John Downey: plain text + HTTP = minimalist microblogging
- 2017–2019 – Community builds CLI tools, but adoption remains niche
- 2020 – Yarn.social launched by @prologic with federation, threading, UI
- 2021–2023 – Pods sync, user mentions, blocking, search, and media support added
- 2024+ – Yarn.social becomes the reference Twtxt platform, with active federated pods=
> Twtxt is a minimalist, decentralized microblogging format introduced by John Downey in 2016. It uses plain text files served over HTTP—no accounts, databases, or APIs.
In 2020, James Mills (@prologic) launched Yarn.social, an extended, federated implementation with user discovery, threads, mentions, and a full web UI.
Both share the same .twtxt.txt format but differ in complexity and social features.

Notice how old all these people sound. They started playing this game like 10, 15, 20 years ago, most of them left, but some are still there. I love that level of commitment. 😃
Also interesting from a technical point of view. Creating that virtual world and keeping it running *consistently* for so long … 🤯

So, yeah, they do use semver and, yes, they’re not at 1.0.0 yet, so things might break on the next restic update … but they “promise” to not break things too lightheartedly. Hm, well. 😅 Probably doesn’t make a big difference (they don’t say “don’t use this software until we reach 1.0.0”).

(it is running gotosocial which is like one of the lightest fedi servers out there. the machine it runs on is as old as a high schooler. guess the root problem)
#LSystem #Fractals #Mandelbrot #ComputationalBiology ![Preface L-systems are a mathematical formalism which was proposed by Aristid Lindenmayer in 1968 as a foundation for an axiomatic theory of development. The notion promptly attracted the attention of computer scientists, who investigated L-systems from the viewpoint of formal language theory. This theoretical line of research was pursued very actively in the seventies, resulting in over one thousand publications. A different research direction was taken in 1984 by Alvy Ray Smith, who proposed L-systems as a tool for synthesizing realistic images of plants and pointed out the relationship between L-systems and the concept of fractals introduced by Benoit Mandelbrot. The work by Smith inspired our studies of the application of L-systems to computer graphics. Originally, we were interested in two problems: • Can L-systems be used as a realistic model of plant species found in nature? • Can L-systems be applied to generate images of a wide class of fractals? It turned out that both questions had affirmative answers. Subsequently we found that L-systems could be applied to other areas, such as the generation of tilings, reproduction of a geometric art form from East India, and synthesis of musical scores based on an interpretation of fractals. This book collects our results related to the graphical applications of 1systems. It is a corrected version of the notes which we prepared for the ACM SIGGRAPH '88 course on fractals.

Querem rever a transposição da diretiva de direitos de autor (para as exceções de TDM *na investigação* [no ano passado era para todos], e artigos 15º e 17º). Querem "expandir a cláusula de fair use", só que não há clausula nenhuma, não há fair use na europa...
Defendem #PublicMoneyPublicCode, redes descentralizadas (#fediverso ?), rever os #artigo15 e #artigo17 da directiva de direitos de autor, "garantir o acesso às aplicações da Administração Pública a todos os cidadãos sem discriminação a um determinado fornecedor ou plataforma", ensinar métodos e técnicas em vez de software específico, interoperabilidade obrigatória e fazer um levantamento da actual situação de vendor lock-in.
Preocupam-se com os direitos, possibilidades de discriminação e insegurança advindos da #IA e #IoT, combatem as #JunkFees.
[fim de 🧵]*
As excepções são feitas ao tema do voto eletrónico que está numa secção distinta, e por isso começo por aí: o Livre continua a insistir no #VotoEletronico não presencial, e perante as críticas de que isso põe em causa direitos e segurança, acrescentaram este ano a condição de salvaguardar direitos e segurança - sem dizer como. Acrescentam também a disponibilização de dados abertos da segurança social, mas continuam sem propor uma abordagem integrada quanto a dados abertos.

Meinen fakeTuner für das Sagem Küchenradio habe ich schon dorthin portiert. Gerade spiele ich mit
icecast2 und ezstream herum. Die MP3-Sammlung ist bereits im Küchenradio angekommen. Jetzt fehlt nur noch ein kleines Webinterface für die einfache Steuerung.
