Would anyone object to the feeds.twtxt.net service having auth soon™ ? 🤔 I'm tired of the garbage feeds that it has accumulated over tie (_spammers_) and I want to a) clean it up b) lock it down somewhat.
The idea would be that you'd login with your Yarn.social account on some pod you control/operate or share with a nice person 🤣 -- For those unfamiliar, this is called IndieAuth or IndieLogin. ALL Yarn.social pods are in fact valid (_have been for years now_) IndieAuth Providers. So I can just ust that. This also technically means you _could_ login with your own domain too (_more on that later..._)

@hacker-news-newest TL;DR:
> The author recounts their experience with a “no calls” policy in enterprise sales, finding it surprisingly effective. They attribute this success to addressing common reasons for calls—lack of understanding, onboarding issues, pricing uncertainty, and trust concerns—through clear messaging, self-serve onboarding, transparent pricing, and robust security documentation. While acknowledging potential limitations, the author advocates for a #nocalls approach, emphasizing the benefits of efficiency and alignment with their values.

@lyse Who does right 🤣 I wonder if anyone read the ToC(s) of any Yarn pod? 🤔

@arne To be honest I don't _really_ understand why anyone would use Facebook™, X/Twitter™, TikTok™ Instagram™, etc... When it clearly states in their Terms of Conditions that the content you "enter" into _their_ systems, is NOT yours.

@andros Created. Can you try logging in via Github? I had to take a stab/guess at your Email address, which is very clearly wrong, but hopefully you an just update it when you login 🤣🤣

Actually. it's probably fine if you just drop your Github username/profile here. They're all public info anyway 🤣🤣

@andros I _believe_ I disabled new registrations by default due to increase in levels of "spam accounts". If you could email me, or DM me (IRC) your Github username, I'll add an account for you that matches your Github profile and you can sign-in that way.
Respectfully, I will not move any of my projects back to Github after this blog post; hope you can understand, but I'd prefer to stick to my moral values here as much as I can 😅

I need an alternative news source... Something I can shove into feeds.twtxt.net that helps me keep up-to-date with Tech and other important news 🗞️ Hmmm 🤔 Suggestions? I can't stand Slashdot anymore since they've decided to come down hard on ad-blockers 🤦♂️

@lime360 Down at the moment due to hardware failure of one of my nodes. I have the spare parts to bring it back online, just need to find the time 😅 Sorry for the inconvenience, I just can't afford to run the search engine right now on the remaining two nodes 😢😢

@xuu Not recently, no. Why?

I've decided (_finally_) to unfollow the Slashdot feed and no-longer bother ever visiting the site or read any of it's content. Why? Because Slashdot in their infinite wisdom have decided to employ tactics that make it difficult to use their site without ad-blokers:
> This page could not be loaded properly due to incorrect / bad filtering rule(s) of adblockers in use. Please disable all adblockers to continue using the website. (click OK if you'd like to learn more)
I can respect this; but I can also just as easily choose never to visit your site again.

@andros Reminds me of another low-code platform I came across that is written in Go, but uses Starlark I think as the DSL for writing apps.
