@tkanos Why's that? Is it just the people that are on Mastodon that's the issue, or how Mastodon works (or doesn't) work? π€
Interestingly there's more things about Brazil that our search engine is able to find that I expected π

@mckinley Yeah that would work too as an alternative. More build work though... Also I already have Plex (paid for a lifetime license some years ago). I'd have to make sure (if I continued to use Plex on the move) that it didn't require outside network access just to function of course (which would be silly) π
-- Only other thing to solve (if I went down the RPi + something route) is audio/music streaming... Need a way to stream to essentially a set of speakers that seem to only have an FM receiver hooked up to them, but maybe there's an audio jack somewhere hmmmm π€

I'll fork this myself π
-- So far I know of Western Digital My Passport Wireless Pro | Plex Support which will let me take a portable "Plex Server" on the move with me and copy a subset of our media (TV Shows, Movies, Music) on the portable drive which runs a Plex Server and builtin WIFI Hotspot.
Problem is, this is only good for connecting say iPad(s) or iPhone(s) to the hotspot and using the Plex App. I can see no way to then stream something to a portable 12DC powered TV that basically only has HDMI input (and some older shit)...
I need something to connect to a wifi hotspot, stream a plex stream and re-stream that to a HDMI input source π€

I don't want to derail this Yarn, so please fork this when you see it π
-- Speaking of FM Transmitters and what not, I _actually_ have a new project I'd like to build with two requirements:
- Some kind of small compute device that can be powered either via USB or 12V DC Socket
- A built-in FM transmitter so I can stream a subset of our own music (we'd copy form our NAS initially).
- A way to stream Plex into the HDMI input of a small portable TV screen (also powered by 12DC)

Fortunately when I type the @ (or use the button) that feed no longer auto-completes for me... So that's good. @darch maybe is still following it maybe? π€

@eaplmx Maybe let's leave it for now... Maybe you could help me figure out how to _actually_ deal with "dead feeds" and "premaritally gone" in some sane way?

Looks like I was still following that feed myself. Now I'm not... And it looks like it still returns just fine, so its still possible to pull it into pod cache's and have a Twter object for it... Hmmm...

@eaplmx The "Twter" object is probably still in @darch's pod's cache... Do you know what the URI of that feed was? Does it now 404 or NXDOMAIN or something else? There is a _real_ problem with yarnd's cache in that whilst we track "dead feeds" and "moved feeds" we don't handle cleanup every well (yet...) -- Working on it...

Or in the case of Mastodon -- Too complicated to stand up. And ActivityPub, too hard to build against. So I (almost by accident, I was looking...) came across the Twtxt spec/format and voila π

@eaplmx Yeah well the rest of the back story is documented at About Yarn.social π
I _realised_ I actually did want some kind of micro-blogging / social media "thing", but I hated Twitterβ’ (had an account once upon a time, deleted, re-created, deleted, and finally deleted and never used it), and any other social media are basically "yuck", advertising centralised piles of garbage π

@darch I will try your idea of using an "aside" element here, but for now I'll just use the same idea of links/buttons with just a different colour for "include", "exclude" and "off".

@eaplmx Even though I don't use Pinterest and never "got it", I do see some value in its "features". Speaking of which... I believe @darch @hashrock and I _think_ even my dad @off_grid_living _would_ want and benefit some some kind of visual sharing UX on Yarn... I would fully support this (somehow), question is how... I've always thought we would just surface "media" as search results, but @hashrock seems to think we can also have a "portfolio" profile view of some kind... Maybe some combination of both? I dunno π€·ββοΈ

@abucci Nope not at all. Yarn.social was born out of a desire to be able to conveniently "blog" without the burden of a full blog which is time consuming and someyhing I never managed to do very well/

@justamoment The main drivers behind lists are a couple of basic needs. @abucci for example would want to categorise some of his feeds as "fast" and others as "slow" and have different views for those. I would want to categorise some favourite web comics as "comics" so I don't miss them (currently I missed them because they are inconveniently posted at the wrong times). More background/history can be found in the issue
