bon en fait mon script pour convertir ma bibliothèque en mp3 faisait du caca. J'ai revu ma copie en 3 parties : rsync des fichiers, find avec print0 pour la conversion et éviter les soucis de noms de fichier, xargs pour convertir plusieurs fichiers en parallèle, find pour supprimer les fichiers d'origine. Pas très efficace, prend de la place, mais ça marche...

@bender Thank you! I am writting on PR page.
In Spain, electricity has already been restored. Amazing experience! Luckily, I will only have to throw away some food. But there are stories of all kinds. It has been 12 hours where we have gone back to the middle ages.
@prologic Yesterday Spain, Portugal, maybe Morocco, were without electricity for 12 hours. I could not work. My home server was down, my feed and pages were online because of that 😂

(It runs smoothly. My computer just isn’t fast enough for a smooth X11 screengrab at that resolution.)

We’re all old farts. When we started, there weren’t a lot of options. But today? I’d be completely overwhelmed, I think.
> Hence, I'd recommend to start programming with a console program. As for the language, not sure. But Python is probably a good choice
That’s what I usually do (when we have young people at work who never really programmed before), but it doesn’t really “hit” them. They’ve seen so much, crazy graphics, web pages, it’s all fancy. Just some text output is utterly boring these days. ☹️ And that’s my problem: I have no idea how I could possibly spark some interest in things like pointers or something “low-level” like that. And I truly believe that you *need* to understand things like pointers in order to program, in general.

Nah, I’m not taking any action yet. 😅 The good thing is that I don’t run a Git daemon on my server. It’s all just HTTP, which is fast and doesn’t consume a lot of memory.

03:45 You can pretty blame capitalism for everything that's wrong with anything 🤣
I really do wish we would wake up and smell the roses here 🤦♂️ This whole sets of wars is utterly pointless. Senseless waste of precious human beings 😢
@lyse Hahahaha 🤣 I mean it's "okay" every now and then, but what's the point of having good clients and tools if we don't use 'em 🤣

Someone has started to run git pull on one of my repos – once every two minutes. This is a very pointless endeavour. I push new code a couple of times *per month*.
So far, this isn’t causing any issues. I *think* this is just a regular human being who misconfigured some automation. And I *hope* this doesn’t mean that the “AI” bots have finally discovered my page …

I will be adding the code in for yarnd very soon™ for this change, with a if the date is >= 2025-07-01 then compute_new_hashes else compute_old_hashes
We have 4 clients but this should be 6 I _believe_ with tt2 from @lyse and Twtxtory from @javivf?
Finally I propose that we increase the Twt Hash length from 7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (_oops_) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That _ought_ to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update~
And speaking of Twtxt (See: #xushlda, feeds should be treated as append-only. Your client(s) should be appending Twts to the bottom of the file. Edits should never modify the timestamp of the Twt being edited, nor should a Twt that was edited by deleted, unless you actually intended to delete it (_but that's more complicated as it's very hard to control or tell clients what to do in a truely decentralised ecosystem for the deletion case_). #Twtxt #Client #Recommendations
Just like we don't write emails by hand anymore (See: #a3adoka), we don’t manually write Twts or update our twtxt.txt feeds. Instead, we use modern Twtxt clients that conform to the specifications at Twtxt.dev for a seamless, automated experience. #Twtxt #Twt #UserExperience
Nobody writes emails by hand using RFC 5322 anymore, nor do we manually send them through telnet and SMTP commands. The days of crafting emails in raw format and dialing into servers are long gone. Modern email clients and services handle it all seamlessly in the background, making email easier than ever to send and receive—without needing to understand the protocols or formats behind it! #Email #SMTP #RFC #Automation
@bender Hehe good sleuthing 🤣 I swear it was an edit ✍️ Haha 😂 yarnd now "sees" both every single time, where-as before it would just obliterate the old Twt, but remain in archive. Now you get to see both 😅 Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but it certainly makes it much clearer how to write "code logic" for detecting edits and doing something more UX(y) about 'em 🤔
Wrote some serious Python for the first time in like 10 years 😱 I feel so dirty 🤣

@prologic yup. Funny enough, the first twtxt should have sufficed, as if there is no domain, there will be no feed (at that domain). The edit to add that the feed will not be available is redundant.

@lyse hey pascal bro! My first coding class was with an old Borland Turbo Pascal. I made my own little window manager for the assignments for class.
The teacher didn't appreciate it much since I had to print out the code to turn it in. My Yatzee game was a stack of pages. 🤪
@lyse Very nice! 👌 So lovely and green 😅 -- What's with the sign in

Interesting edit observed by the new yarnd powering this pod twtxt.net 🧐

so... maybe I should try a new fresh approach. I gave up avoiding adding a new data structure and created a drawing_dict to iterate and draw. At this point it contains a reference to a drawing function and the attributes to use... it should give me enough flexibility. I'm using shapes as keys,
I have to think about the case of the complex body...

I have to think about the case of the complex body... the body should be the key in that case. But then, removing stuff will be harder.
