@markwylde Welcome to yarn.social 😂
I'm sure we can whip up a "geocities" theme hahaha!
@markwylde Welcome to yarn.social where we don't do any of that. 😂

I really love this. This is what web development is all about, having fun!
@prologic haha I don't doubt there is! I just like how it's all neatly packaged and presented in a easy-to-use interface.
@prologic you could try Fastmail. Been with them for 13 years with absolutely no issue. Perhaps you could email them and ask about MX servers.
@thecanine Windows itself is a telemetry riddled piece of malware.
But that's a yarn for another day.
@prologic speaking of network gear, what do you run? If you don't mind me asking.
Pretty sure you have a special feed for this 😅
@prologic I still have my 55" Samsung TV that is still going all these years. Paid a pretty penny for it hahaha. Although LG TVs are looking good because now just recently you have the ability to root the TV and remove useless features.
I wish you could just buy dumb TVs (PC monitors?) that can't be connected.
I dislike IoT devices. Who's fucking bright idea is it to have white goods connected? What purpose does it really have?
"Hey you can connect your toaster to the internet" ... 🤦
Is it just me or is anybody else just not feeling it this week? 😅
> Internet services is Australia are basically fucking shithouse
Ain't that the truth.
@fastidious I have done things in the past, primarily as a teenager 😅, that once I got a full-time job I actually went out and bought products, I got collectors editions of items. I spread the word when I had nothing and gave my support when I had the means to.
Sure, is everybody going to do that? Oh hell no. There are some people out there that will continue to obtain free products. But the point still remains that it should be easy for customers to be able to choose a non-restricted format.
@fastidious if I give you a copy of a song from this amazing band that you'll be sure to love you'll be exposed to a brand new band that you've never heard of before.
You'll also be inclined to seek out more of their music, go to their concert, buy merchandise. So to me that is more exposure from a single copied song that literally has no loss of sale or impact.
Nothing stops you from photocopying a physical book to give to many.
It's not bad for business. It actually gives business more exposure. The fact that you can't purchase a product without some form of DRM is down right shitty.
I'm not a connoisseur of much digital media except for games; Steam and GOG (Good Old Games). GOG distributing their products without DRM won me over as I don't have to worry about licensing or "activations" etc.
@kt84 oh geez hahaha! But... why? There is literally a KFC just 6.3km away. 😂
It's so they can get customers coming from Costco I would imagine!
@darch wow! That's insane! This information will be very useful next time I have to come up with random facts! 😄
@darch I can't find it (of course!) but I believe the strawberry is actually the black seeds and not the red/pink flesh.
@prologic My partner in crime linked it to me!
@prologic ah righto. Tor never sat right with me. It just goes to show there really is something missing with all of these alternatives. It's great that there are options but most if not all of them just completely miss the mark.
@fastidious @prologic I've noticed this even when in yarns regardless of being in drawer mode. I have a feeling the JS is not too happy with it being cloned, deleted, and the pasted back... I'm sure it can be fixed. I'll take a gander some time today.
If all else fails drawer mode can be reverted back to a user option or feature quite easily. 👍
@prologic I know what it is. Something isn't quite right with the JS. No code was changed but the box no longer appears after entering the @ symbol on the post box. The box no longer disappears after selecting a user either... 🤔
@prologic Came across this this morning, Session Messenger. Not sure about the details or intricacies but it looks like a good alternative. They have technical details listed on their site.
It's already the third week into the year and it feels like the year is dragging on... 🤣
@movq oh god don't remind me.
@movq It's been year of Linux for me since 2004. The day I got a magazine with Fedora Core 2 and found instructions on running Unreal Tournament 2004 just hooked me in. The real issue lies within hardware vendors, like you said driver related changes, that keep it back. I'm still stuck in the 90s/00s for gaming. I recently discovered a lovely DOS collection that will keep me busy for years.
@prologic Thank goodness! My hacked up CSS did the trick, but I'm glad it's now officially in. Hoping I get a chance to update this tonight and check. Thanks for the heads up! 👍
@prologic @fastidious The @ mentions are fixed in dev. The issue? Classic CSS. The center-crop issue is fixed but will require testing to make sure. And added the drawer-look feature to yarn articles. And a wild-and-weird textbox duplication bug which is now squashed.
I think we should introduce Hiccup to yarn... LOL
Websites I visit still do this today, especially when loading websites. It's horrible.
Thanks @fastidious! Just pop everything in this yarn (or a git issue). I've noticed quite a lot of gap at the bottom on mobile view. Will get that fixed haha!
@prologic You're too kind haha.
@eaplmx On the new develop branch I have successfully (and tested!) the post box movement for replies, edits, and forks.
@prologic correct! I'll look into it tonight 👍
@eaplmx @prologic perhaps 'split' is the right term? I'm happy with fork though haha
@eaplmx @prologic this is the movement of the post box I was mentioning a while back.
Somebody hits reply and the post box moves underneath what you're replying to. The same would apply to forks.
I've used the same passphrase since I've been 12 and it's memorised. Never had an issue with it since it's 36 characters in length including all standard characters to keep password fields happy.
_Although it will be interesting to see what happens when I get just that little bit older..._
Wow, that's nuts! I wonder if they put a mocap suit on the dog?
@eaplmx spot on! It's one thing to be heard, it's another to be listened to, and another to have ideas!
@fastidious I had that implemented too. I hadn't noticed any difference tbqh 😅
@fastidious I just wish the government, Australia especially, does some god damn better work at security implementations. To login to our govt. services require a password (or digital identity... yuck) and an OTP is sent via SMS! Don't want SMS? Here download our own implementation of TOTP codes app... 🤯
@lyse with the fancier views you also get a "download" link to the full version.
IIRC you're using a text based client? (Jenny?). If that's the case I wonder what we could do to be compatible with that.

Hey @darch, that theme you were working on, copenhagen?, That might be now do-able in the custom CSS section for poderators now. Give it a whirl! 🤞
Unless of course it requires extra JS and things that aren't strictly CSS.
@prologic no idea! However I have now come across a styling issue with gallery and mobile view 😅
@hacker-news I guess you might as well put the Nintendo Switch in your DMZ.
Waking up with gout in the ankle. Yep, that’s exactly what I wanted on a Thursday. For those who are unaware, gout is a inflammatory disease built up by uric acid. Usually bought on by seafood, red meat, tomatoes etc.
Excruciating pain. Imagine somebody hamming your foot hard at random intervals while a dull blade hacksaw is moving back and forth on the ankle.
Excuse me while I take some painkillers.
@prologic only framework that I’m looking into using is chi and maybe another to interface an SQLite DB.
JS is nowhere near my original project so it's staying that way haha!
@prologic haha very slowly! I’m slowly (and terribly) rewriting one of my web based projects in golang. 😅
@darch this is exactly what we are discussing to potentially introduce very soon. We have several ideas of implementation. I would love it if you have ideas to consider too!
@eaplmx glad to see another Python user! 👌
@prologic LibreTranslate? Might be something that can be added as an optional feature. Display a “translate” button on each yarn if enabled. Tap on it to have it translated to your selected language set in settings?
@homer @prologic @eaplmx Translation!
“Haasi’garn” - How is it going? In Australian bush linguistics. It’s spelt many different ways but this is how I know it. “Howzitgoin” is the other usual way, but it’s pronounced differently.
I’ll have to record myself saying it 😂
@prologic No idea how poderator became a thing. It just happened 😅
I do like “Haasi’garn”. 😂
Heh, I didn’t think a zero width space would be valid.
Naw that’s cute! Happy birthday! Lil miss prologic 🎉🤣
@jlj haha I had to look up what dogfooding is.
“When a normal user is annoyed by the product, they can't do anything about it. But when a developer is annoyed by the product, they can stop what they are doing and make the product less annoying.”
I hope I did release notes justice! 😅
Yes to that!
And also stupid fucking plastic clamshell packaging.
@prologic 02-pico-override.css is something I _should_ have come up with 😂, bloody fantastic idea!
We could then leave 99-yarn.css to IDs and classes that are specific to yarn.social.
Forgot to post this over the weekend. Seinfeld LEGO! So good.
@fastidious the current prime minister in Australia is a bit of a knob. Knew information about events months well before they had a major impact on us. Decided not to act on the information and then essentially turned around and said “Hey how’s that sports team going though!”.
This video is about the Rapid Antigen Tests and the failure of procuring them and having big businesses selling them for a profit.
This is absolutely mind blowing. “This means that 1 pixel on the image is smaller than a human red blood cell.” 🤯
Just so I understand, you want a view that essentially goes through each twt and extracts images to have them viewed in their own gallery style without any text?
@fastidious sounds like a simple styling fix. Shouldn’t be hard to fix. 👌
Just a nice image test.
Must have been having a bad day…
Wait... this isn't supposed to happen! Yarn.Social matrix edition...
@fastidious that part was actually easy, don't have friends! No just kidding, it was quite a lot of convincing on my part. A lot of friends and family still use other platforms however in the beginning I told them this is how to get in contact with me online apart from email.
Eventually after many months it sort of converged into using my matrix instance with 4 rooms and 11 members including myself. So not a big server, just enough for our needs.
Only complaint that I get is about lack of stickers haha!
This is why I just ended up running my own isolated Matrix server, Synapse, with Element on iOS. Haven’t had any issues for the past year… touch wood haha!
@prologic ugh, no matter what I do or docs I look at I can’t set UID or GID for grafana… oh well 😂
You might have to give me some pointers about doing all these fancy dashboards. Only thing I know is grafana and prometheus?! That’s it 😂
@prologic maybe look at a PineTime as an alternative? Not sure about having all the features you mentioned above. But it looks very much apple-esque haha.
@prologic Do you happen to have a list of these handy tools? I keep a curated bookmark collection with all of these handy things.
Not that I’ll use any of them but it’s really awesome to see them out there in the wild!
Ugh, I guess I _should_ go back to work today. Hahaha! Enjoy your week everybody! 😀
Okay! I need some help here! Does anybody know what the i is in Eric?
So far I have:
Time
IBM
Macca's
??
IKEA
Rayban
??
Coke

@prologic Ok this is another fork of a fork! How far can we go?
@prologic It's really hard to tell! Even when I throttle my network everything seems pretty good. Just got to wait for the large TTL and cache users to see what's what!
Posting on throttled network at ~512kbps.
Test reply, please ignore. :D~
I love this place! This an Wivenhoe are my two favourite spots. Haven't been before good ol' covid times haha.
Many people there? Might be good for a picnic! :D
@prologic nope just the code text colouring 😂 I’ll fix that today.
Maybe we can do an Australian translation hahaha 😂
Now that translations are being done this might be a good idea to go through all of the template text and pop it on over to the lang files.
Okie dokies. This is certainly nice. Pico.css updated, with yarn.social classic themes to choose from in settings. Converted over the classic light theme but there is very minimal difference... _My first attempt in backend changes!_ hopefully I didn't break anything haha! Custom user-themes are incoming, watch this space!
Wow, that is super amazing! Good job!
This one didn't do it but I love the warbling songs they make. I could watch them for hours.
