@lyse I’m afraid 3-4 weeks is rather short. 🫤 Depending on how big the damage is, these machines might be around for much longer.

My damage was a minor damage, I think. It also was in the *drain* (not even nasty toilet sewage), so there was only water coming down to me when the upstairs neighbors used their shower. It wasn’t running non-stop.

And still, it caused a lot of trouble and headache. I don’t even want to imagine a big damage where an under-pressure pipe bursts. 😨😨😨 Let’s hope this never happens while I live here. 🤞

@prologic I do. But didn’t we work out some logic to cover this case? 🤔 I forgot. Something like: “If the current file does not contain the twt hash that we’ve seen on the last run, then traverse back through archived feeds until you find it.” 🤔

@prologic Hard to tell. 😅 From my POV, it’s a good thing to stop doing this and I suspect it will prevent future software bugs, simple as that. 😅

This article, on the other hand, says:

> The Russian system incorporates leap seconds, whereas others, including the GPS satellite, already effectively ignore them. The decision means that Russia might need to install new satellites and ground stations, says Felicitas Arias, former director of the time department at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in Sèvres, France.

Oh dear. 🥴

It’s going to be interesting how we want to handle the situation in the future. What is going to be the replacement for leap seconds? They haven’t settled on that, yet.

@prologic This might be a bit of a stretch, but anyway:

You could compare the situation to Git and GitHub. Git itself is free software and all that, just like twtxt. GitHub is not.

There are many incentives to use GitHub over plain Git on your own server. Once critical mass is reached, you are basically required to have a GitHub account, just so you can work with people who host their stuff there. And boom, you have a “monopoly”. It’s not a “strict” monopoly, but for mere practical reasons it basically is. You’ll be having a very hard time if you wanted to fully avoid GitHub.

Note that this isn’t the same as “making Git proprietary” (or twtxt, for that matter). The point is (I’m quoting from a Google translation of his blogpost): “… then close the protocol to *force users to stay on the proprietary platform*.” It doesn’t matter if Git/twtxt itself is free if users are effectively forced to use a proprietary service.

Yarn.social and twtxt are a looooooong way away from this. But I have to admit that I can somewhat understand what @lucidiot is thinking. To be honest, I had similar doubts in the beginning (didn’t we have a discussion about that? 😅). Those doubts are long gone, because I now believe that you’re a good guy – but they were there.

I think it’s normal, at least for purists/minimalists/nerds, to have these kinds of doubts. I don’t take that as hostility from @lucidiot.

Regarding “should we fork”: It could be beneficial to Yarn.social to fork. Get rid of some historical baggage and end discussions like these once and for all. *But* I reaaaaaally hope that you don’t fork. 😅 For the reasons outlined in this old posting on nixers.net, I will not run yarnd myself. twtxt’s simplicity of just hosting a text file is a killer feature for me.

To end on a more positive note: If it weren’t for the threading extensions of Yarn.social, I doubt that I’d still be an active user. Automatic threading is *super important*, for me at least. 🥳

@abucci Might be as simple as this:

    printf("%2.0lf\n", temperature);

}

@lyse Great shots indeed. I love that feeling of “being on top of the world” in 45.jpg.

But man, that’s way too cold for me. 🥴 Looks like quite a few people weren’t bothered by the cold and enjoyed their Schlittenfahrt.

Yeah, I heard the snow will probably be gone by Christmas.

Still doing Advent of Code, but I skipped yesterday for now. Maybe later.

I’m slowly getting a bit more familiar with Rust. I think AoC really helps here. With each puzzle, I’m learning something new about that (weird) language. Actually, just *using* it and keeping at it already helps a lot – gaining experience.
