@prologic he is making -$13/month. A bargain! 😂
Yeah, that .box TLD is absolute rubbish.
I can't tell by the screenshot. What are you getting from APIs?
@prologic his feed shows not found. Is that because it rotated, and he hasn't posted anything since?
@prologic how’s the old man doing? I have him muted, LOL, but used to unmute every once in a while when he would post stuff he was working on. Hoping he is well!
@prologic, do you self host OIDC? If so, which one?
@prologic just pick one, but have it show the picked way consistently. Right now I often see the short handle, and the long handle, for users on the same pod, in a very inconsistent manner. That’s what I am talking about.
I meant, they both work. The pedantic in me would like it to be consistent, and the same, all the time.
@lyse good idea! Thanks for looking out for me, mate. Password changed to a slight, more secure, variation: hunter3!.
@prologic 🥳🥳🥳 That’s good! I wasn’t looking forward to change my password123 password (you should see that at your end as *********, due to Yarn’s high security measures).
@prologic, what makes your mention of my handle show differently like this?
@prologic no worries! It pains me to find bugs in Yarn, though. I want it to be flawless, you know, like Microsoft Windows. 🤭
@mckinley Caddy is simpler and act as both, web server *and* a reverse proxy. Traefik is only—albeit on steroids—a reverse proxy.
@mckinley it is opt-in because all your devices logged into the same iCloud account need to be at a compatible level. You also have to have a designated recovery account member which, obviously, you need to manually add.
@prologic ah, fuck it, don’t worry. I consider one the original (I flip a coin to pick which), and the other’s a backup, just in case. 😂
Yeah, truly weird and odd behaviour.
@mckinley I also see repeated Lyse twtxts, and I can’t even mention him on this twtxt. When I type @Lyse the pop up shows up, but when I tap on it, it just autocompletes as @lyse@, nothing else.
I am on mobile.
@lyse nope. That’s all Yarn’s doing. 😳😬
@prologic break a leg, or a table, mate! Win or lose, have fun!
@prologic I ended up installing the PDS again, this time manually (not using Docker). It is running, with space to spare, on 510MB RAM right now.
@stigatle happy birthday, dude! We also take birthdays very seriously, and treasure them. It's reaching a milestone, and worthy of celebration. Mine is next Tuesday, and I am taking Monday and Tuesday off, so this is a long weekend for me. 🥳
I was already almost 15 years old when you were born. Time do fly!
@prologic same official client works with your own PDS. Not going to keep it, though. To test I spun up a new VPS, and I don’t want to pay $6/month for it. 😂
Turns out it is pretty easy to run your own BlueSky PDS (personal data server). I am @david.collantes.me.
@stigatle 😍 lovely partner, mate! I can't help but noticing that everything around is quite clean, that your motorbike tyres aren't dirty at all, and that white Tesla model 3 right there on the left, chilling. 😊
@mckinley I run various applications with Docker, and a few websites.

This is pretty cool!. Hurrah, and props to the Germans!

@eldersnake how big is that VPS, if you can tell? My 1 vCPU, 2GB, 50GB is maxed out. 😬
@prologic do you have your own Headscale infrastructure up and running? If you do, any details you could write about? If not, why?
@prologic just hit home. Have driven over six hours today. And still need to mow! 😬😬😬
@prologic I didn’t heard about that. I just searched around, and people donated $4M worth of crypto to Trump, it seems. That could be more, or less.
That, though, doesn’t makes us complicated. It’s the whole lot of *everything else* that does. 😬
Complicated nation is an understatement.
@thecanine "Now you can finally use the fucking webapp." LOL. So glad I don't have to deal with all that!
@stigatle that's so cool! Wish family would let me buy a bike; they fear too much for my life to allow. LOL.
That bike is $8,000 here. Cheap, but not too cheap! The gear you are wearing (boots, gloves, pants and jackets, and helmets) aren't cheap here either! Fun hobby, nevertheless. :-) Enjoy, and ride with care!
@prologic that's how my face looked, for sure! 😅
Something that showed this morning, after clicking "Discover".
@prologic somebody is playing with a new toy.
@prologic people went to sleep? I mean, at 03:00 I am on my second, or third sleep. 😜
Oh, AEST! No idea, but it might have been @xuu. LOL.
@xuu wow, such a remote place, eh? I imagine you living somewhere in the Himalayas, driving to town once every couple of months to resupply.
Don’t get me wrong, it is attractive, until my Internets are threaten. Then all bets are off. 😂
@lyse lovely! I would have picked this one as a cover.
Bloody sunset
Xuu has shutdown his pod now, probably to avoid losing connectivity.
@xuu need a modem? I got a couple of 33.6K, and one 28.8K. :-P
@prologic nope, I see no images. If you go to Stig pod, it has all images broken.
@lyse they all showed fine right after posting. I can’t see them now. Not even Stig avatar shows on the home pod.
@abucci that’s so weird! I wonder what in the world is causing it. Hopefully @prologic has an insight.
@stigatle I am guilty of being silent myself. I have been more active on the Fediverse these days. Having a super easy to run ActivityPub server helps! :-)
welcome back!
@stigatle woah! You are gone for a while, but when you return, you truly bring some "goodies" with you! :-) Great clicks, mate, love them!

@prologic well...

With apology offers like these, who would remember? 🤣
@prologic that works fine when interacting with people you know--and they know you--well. On The Tubes it's easy to be misunderstood, or getting a tone other than the intended applied to your message. It easy devolves into a "plonkable" stage. 😅
@movq I do that constantly, on the Fediverse. I often type long replies, disagreeing, or agreeing with someone, read it over and over, just to realise there isn’t anything to gain by it, and scrape it.
Small extract:
> "Conceptually, Advanced Data Protection is simple: All CloudKit Service keys that were generated on device and later uploaded to the available-after-authentication iCloud Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) in Apple data centers are deleted from those HSMs and instead kept entirely within the account’s iCloud Keychain protection domain. They are handled like the existing end-to-end encrypted service keys, which means Apple can no longer read or access these keys."
@prologic I was going to say, it could be a setting. I prefer infinite scrolling, but I know there is a strong movement against it. 😅
Another URL that breaks the parser. 😱
@prologic Messages are e2e encrypted. SMS/MMS are not, but that’s not Apple’s fault. You can configure it, so it doesn’t fall back to SMS/MMS if that’s what you want.
Apple isn’t implementing RCS because of Google (which, arguably, doesn’t even support it). 😂
@prologic less noise on the discover view, right?
@lyse not what you want. Instead of an infinite scrolling, it will render until a point, then give you a link to load the next batch. Rinse and repeat.
I tried Signal, and I didn't like it. I don't like the interface, I don't like one has to rely on a relatively small company infrastructure. It has bugs, and issues: sometimes messages will deliver, sometimes they will not.
Nothing has been more stable for me (as an Apple user, that is) than Messages. It comes with the OS, it is beautiful, and it just works.
@movq I think the fact we can see posts from it in here (twtxt.net) is odd. It means someone (withing this Yarn pod?) follows it, no?
I asked @prologic and got no answer, but I wonder if there is admin-only tool built-in on Yarn, that allows the admin to search which user(s) follow a certain feed (for moderation purposes, or otherwise).
I wonder who follows this one. Is there a way for a pod admin to know this, @prologic?
@movq I feel your pain like my own. No matter what I do, I am always outnumbered by the ignoramus in the family. It is like bashing one's head on a brick wall.

@lyse ah, 26°C! Not even overnight, nor early in the morning we get that cool! Full of envy mate. Full of envy.
@prologic pretty cool! What's the top, storage? The same vehicle is sold here as a Nissan Frontier. As I said before, Japanese trucks last almost forever.

So, @prologic, show us that truck, don’t be shy! 😊
@prologic you are right, there is no much out there. What little did I find, I am sure you came across it too. I say, wing it like an American would: you don't need no knowledge, load it up; hook that trailer up, and put all you need in it. If it moves it, and it doesn't break, then you are within specs. 😂
@prologic ah, I understand now. If you share the make, model, and year of the vehicle I could try helping!
@prologic what would you need them for? I mean, finding the same for a vehicle purchased *today* is hard, but I—myself—see no specific need for it.
@xuu that’s a joke, right? 😂😂😂 A regular Doe will not know how to do that. Nobody type URLs these days—not that long, anyway. As a comparison, Hugo (a Golang tool) renders those links just fine.
I didn’t know about Claude. How sad—and I am digressing a little—the state of mobile apps is! Everybody wants you to pay ongoing for them, it’s utterly unbelievable. But anyway, totally off topic, I just happened to follow the link, and saw their app on the store.
Block them all! 😂
@shreyan they did, too, had their “Independence Day”. 🥳
Got to fix that broken parsing on URLs with parenthesis in it. This one, inexplicably, works.
@prologic “as a political term, Tory was an insult (derived from the Middle Irish word tóraidhe, modern Irish tóraí, meaning "outlaw", "robber", from the Irish word tóir, meaning "pursuit" since outlaws were "pursued men")”

Congratulations to the British for getting rid of the Tories tyranny, and electing the forward thinking Labour party! 🥳
@prologic that, sure, it is a determinant factor, I agree.
There is, also, a small controversy going around for something that should have been a small change, but that Kling (SerenityOS, and Ladybird creator) handled quite badly: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814.
Seemingly small things like this divide, and have the potential to harm a project.
