@kate Glad you think so! 👌 My goal with Yarn.social has always been to provide the best (_best that I can anyway!_) truly decentralised (_slow_) social experience that uses the Twtxt format under the hood 😅
Hmmm?

This expands the usefulness of Twtxt / Yarn.social to:

- Sharing small posts
- Sharing links
- Sharing media
- Having long conversations
- Voting on topics, opinions or decisions
- RSVPing to virtual or physical events
The nice thing here is that any Ui/UX rendering for a "good user experience" is similar to what yarnd does for Youtube/Spotify/whatever embedding. Plus anyone can participate, even if they don't really have a client that understand it, it's just text with some "syntax" afterall.

I'd have to write i up in full, but essentially looks a bit like this (_contribived examples follow_)...
💡 I had this crazy idea (_or is it?_) last night while thinking about Twtxt and Yarn.social 😅 There are two things I _think_ that _could_ be really useful additions to the yarnd UI/UX experience (_for those that use it_) and as "client" features (_not spec changes_). The two ideas are quite simple:

- Voting -- a way to cast, collect a vote on a decision, topic or opinion.
- RSVP -- a way to "rsvp" to a virtual (_pr physical_) event.

Both would use "plain text" on top of the way we already use Twtxt today and clients would render an appropriate UI/UX._

@bender I _think_ I could, but I haven't bothered to do so yet... I'll try that out later...
@kate You're welcome 😇

Am I the only one that's confused by the discussions, and then the voting we had on the whole threading model? 🤔 I'm not even sure what I voted for, but I know it wasn't the one that won haha 🤣 (_which I'm still very much against for based on an intuition, experience and lots of code writing lately_).

@movq noted! i did try something like this but it wouldn't connect on anything without the SSL stuff, which is normally handled by caddy for me but i can't use certbot with caddy on so i'm stuck there LOL

OH nevermind. Ignore me. I _think_ @sorenpeter's feed is a bit weird. Because his url is http:// but he actually hosts a https:// feed with redirects. so things get a bit weird 😢
e.g: @sorenpeter
@bender I noticed that although the Discover view (_and your own Timeline_) is much improved with a MaxAgeDays configuration at the pod level, that now _some_ profiles are rather empty. This is only because well, they're a bit "inactive" so to speak 🗣️ Not sure what to do about this at the moment... Open to ideas? 💡
@prologic Hmm, speaking of locally running “AI” stuff: Someone on Mastodon has this in their profile description:

> My profile pic is AI modified to prevent deepfakes. I used local Stable Diffusion on my solar powered 7900XTX to average a few selfies.

That sounds like a fun thing to do. Do I have a chance of doing that on my old box from 2013 without a dedicated GPU? 😂

@lyse You’re realling pushing it with those distances. 😅 I went for a quick 2km walk today, saw two deer, that’s it. 😅

What the heck is going on in 86.jpg? An art installation, apparently, but, uh, I wouldn’t trust that. 😂

@bender According to his @buckket Github profile, I _belive_ so.
There are other tasks LLM(s) are _far_ better suited for, which are also its downsides, and gawd so expensive and unrealistic to run yourself 🤦‍♂️ Do you know what one of these NVIDIA H100's cost? 💲 That's right! 🤣 > $50k USD 😱 And many of the models out there require 8 of these suckers 🤣 Each one consumes around ~400W of power each (_not including the machine that houses them!_)~
@movq Yeah I couldn't agree more. The utility of using it in any way to form "truths" or to do anything that require a high degree of "accuracy" is utterly pointless.
@lyse Very nice! 😊 You must love those yellow dandelions? 🤔

@kat At the core, you need an ngircd.conf like this:

[Global]
Name = your.irc.server.com
Password = yourfancypassword
Listen = 0.0.0.0
Ports = 6667

AdminInfo1 = Well, me.
AdminInfo2 = Over here!
AdminEMail = forget.it@example.invalid

[Options]
Ident = no
PAM = no

[SSL]
CertFile = /etc/ssl/acme/your.irc.server.com.fullchain.pem
KeyFile = /etc/ssl/acme/private/your.irc.server.com.key
DHFile = /etc/ngircd/dhparam.pem
Ports = 6669

Start it and then you can connect on port 6667. (The SSL cert/key must be managed by an external tool, probably something like certbot or acme-client.)

I’m assuming OpenBSD here. Haven’t tried it on Linux lately, let alone Docker. 😅=

@prologic Since you have to check and double check everything it spits out (without providing sources), I don’t find any of this helpful. It’s like someone’s in the room with you and that person is saying random stuff that might or might not be correct. *At best*, it might spark some new idea in your head and then you follow that idea the traditional way.

Information published on the internet (or anywhere, for that matter) was never guaranteed to be correct. But at least you had a “frame of reference”: “Ah, I read this information about Linux on a blog that usually posts about Windows, so this one single Linux post might not necessarily be correct.” That is completely lost with LLMs. It’s literally all mushed together. 🤷
