i agree that lextwt is probably mature enough to have its own lib

@screem we have had to really shorten our process. I think long interviews were scaring off talent.
@screem yah I finally saw all of Dave's twts and figured he had explained Gog's/gitea better.

This led me on quite the rabbit hole ending around this site with quite a few pages of different components of the language. https://www.bible.ca/ark/chinese/bible-evidences-chinese-language-characters-words-history-genesis.htm
Its weird to see a tech company be bought by an investment company. Like what is the motivation other than to milk it for investor profit?

@eldersnake yep. And when its sat to sat connections are online it will have better cross planet latency than under sea cable. FWIW
Latency to the sat and back to a uplink station is actually ~45ms because the orbit is so much closer to the ground than say a Hughesnet.~
@prologic they are everywhere.
Yeah the timer is because everyone gets the same word each day. You get one word with 6 trys and compare with friends on how you came to the solution.
I mean you don't even have to do the game to make a fake emoji result. But its a fun little challenge for brain food.
This is like my 5rh day at it. I suck at words and spelling. So this is good practice.
Wow. I'm paying about 100 USD for my cable internet. Hard to estimate since its part of a tvd bundle. But it is 1.2Gbit down and 40Mbit up. And speed tests at that on the regular. The new house will have FTTH gigabit for 80ish.

Do they have Starlink beta down there yet?
Oof.. No hints in the first guess.

@lyse this might be of help https://wordle.at/
its like a mix of hangman and mastermind. You try to guess the word. Yellow means the target word has the letter but its in the wrong location. Green means its in the right location.

Not sure really? i see your Joker image fine on my end.
What if i told you for a browser it doesn't matter what the extension is.. it will use the file magic mime value instead.
@fastidious 🕑 Hi, the current time is about a quarter past two in the afternoon 🌅.
@fastidious I am not Amish.. i am Xuu!
inflation benefits the debtor at the expense of the creditor. The real danger is deflation.
@fastidious +1 ...Now just a way to come up with the $20 per twt to store the data.
ftp://test.com
That's better.. Though the cache will need to be perged in affected nodes.
@prologic Well.. well. well.
Hey. I my own local forward tool. https://github.com/JonLundy/sshfwd it uses ssh port forwards.
@prologic what is this?
I have uBlockOrigin on desktop and https://vancedapp.com/ on android. I never see ads on YouTube.

On SmartTV however this would be a nice addition.
I believe the selling point is to "mobile optimize" the page and send it to the browser faster than over mobile network direct.. But yes you are giving them the keys to your kingdom.

I remember similar things back in dialup days where your ISP would proxy things to you and supercompress the images.
I use VScode. Others seemto like JetBrains GoLand.
@fastidious the things Gemini has going for it are mutual TLS and lack of JavaScript. Which makes for a secure albeit boring experience (much like gopher). The fake markdown is a bit of a drag.

A render mode for Gemini probably wouldnt be too hard. There are markdown to Gemini libs out there.

With Web3 the whole trust a 3rd party browser ext + high fees + env impact for compute and storage are serious no gos for me.. I have heard one too many horror stories about clicking the wrong link and some script draining your metamask wallet.
Web3 is a fraud
Haha that guy comes up every time BTC peaks a bit higher. He is never gonna find it.
@prologic why were they even working? Did they think a big warehouse full of shelves of dangers would be safe?
I happy to be reaffirmed that Java is hopelessly over engineered.
@prologic former CEO of Twitter and countless ETH/NFT scammers
The complexity is a feature. It means standards can be replaced with products that let providers get their cut. It means putting data into the slowest most expensive database in cost and enviromnmental impact.
Web3 is a scam. Case in point. The complexity of systems increasing the points of failure. From this article.



vs.

So the evolution of my nick is as follows. I had a bicycle that had the word Zephyr written on it. Which means a western wind. That is related to the Greek god Zephyrus.

I liked words where X make a Z sound. And also had a bit of dyslexia so my firs IRC nick was Xypher swapping the y and e.. I would also use the forms Xypherius or just Xypheri.

Because its close hemming to Cypher I found the nick would get used by others.. Though that is not my origin.

Later I would sign websites I created as The X-Urban Underground (where X was short for Xypher) and that evolved to xuu. Pronounced like zoo.
@lyse ah and here I am pronouncing it in my head like an abbreviated version of Lysine.
DS9 is best Star Trek. And that last second half of the last season where they go all out. *chef kiss*
@fastidious @darch y'all got a passcode for that zoom link?
@thecanine been there a few times! Thank goodness for mosh for when trying to debug from spotty GSM connection and having ssh drop out every few minutes.
@thecanine thoughts and prayers
Not sure what is going on with these?

Love the new icons on the latest update!
If only there was a way to forward feeds for continuity.
@fastidious tbh I wish it were the nick.txt

Like txt.sour.is/xuu.txt
@prologic you get your infra all fixed up?
@lyse What the heck? no emoji? do you even Unicode!
@fastidious Yes. there is a --flag for it. i have mine set for some crazy long time.
I am just posting here so I don't get fined.
@lyse So.. in the great wisdom of markdown parser.. it only provides the Title and deletes the alt. :D i guess i could write out the alt and title as the same value
@lyse https://arrakis.netbros.com/conv/pbd43lq
@lyse there was an old tool for encrypted volumes that you could use random files as the unlock keys. And you could havemultiple hidden volumes that would unlock depending on the files supplied
No on gitlab. If its self hosted gitea is best in class.

I can see hosting a mirror on github if only for the redundancy/visibility. Some projects will host but then direct contributions on their self host. Like Go does.

I would suggest using a vanity domain that can redirect tools like go get to hosting of choice. And not require rewriting all the packages any time it gets moved.
@prologic

> JavaScript : web apps

I understand the hate for JavaScript. But what option is there for writing web enabled applications for desktop / mobile?
@movq You can always use a 5GB video file if the UI hashes it with SHA512 before posting to the server.
Yep! https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/branch/master/internal/webmention/webmention.go#L150-L156
@fastidious (#twksmyq) IPv6 because localhost -> ::1 is preferred on linux over ol' 127.0.0.1

Now this is very useful.. it means when yarn is doing an HTTP request to itself its not closing the connection. that could mean a http.Response Body is not getting closed.
@fastidious You might not want to .. like the other tiktok it is rather pointless noise. Especially because its set to my personal timezone.
@lyse @fastidious it sticks around for my pod :D
What happens to the reply when the head goes away?
@lyse Got down sat on a Fork!
@lyse wow! your very own customized cutlery holder? nice!
@lyse FORK
@prologic :D
@prologic
Odd.
did some debugging and it looks like the advanced URL was breaking. @fastidious @movq can you try the wkd now?
via keyoxide with wkd: https://keyoxide.org/wkd/me%40sour.is
looks like i might be missing a policy file.. though the key is GET able.
@fastidious Yeah.. mine is all server side.. so it doesn't make much sense to be encrypt/decrypting anything. :D
Hmm it should be on wkd.. though the webserver might be borked.. lemme check
I use WKD with my gpg key tool. its quite nice!
Is there a status page of known pods? I imagine you have something in your monitoring setup?
@movq @prologic also... So its not part of the file have it hosted at scheme://hostname/twtxt.sig
@prologic I'm not really big on WoT. (I think openpgp keyserver strips those signatures out. ) there needs to be a better way.
@movq keys.openpgp.org is a descent key server. They only publish a key the at has a valid email.
@prologic if we want to pick a signature form. We can probably get the parser to respect it. I think keys.pub puts the signed content inside the saltpack encoding. PGP header/footer should be an easy parse.
@mckinley well.. we did used to have a long form blog on here.. but it kinda went by the wayside.
@movq i believe the delete of any twt was a tech limitation with retwt parser not knowing where in the file a twt came from. lextwt tracks the bytes in file where a twt was read from. which could be used to delete a twt from file.. in theory.
@fastidious We do have CCPA in the states.
I am in the camp of wishing i could delete arbitrary twts.
@fastidious sorry. the fix was around having a mention in parenthesis like (yo @prologic)
