@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt You probably don’t know this, but it is also self-signed. I also don’t give two shit™ about its validity or expiry 🤣

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl Ahh I see 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Sorry forgot the | html filter. Rebuilding…

Most of the time I think its the Go proxy I run. I wonder whether that thing is just a bit flakey perhaps? 🤔 I dunno, I’d need to invest some time standing up some kind of analytics so I can discover the pattern here.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah tell me about it 🤣 I don’t even know why the networking fails at random times to be honest. The CI runner runs in Vultr on a VM connected to the Mills DC via Wireguard VPN. I have no fucking clue why things just fail intermittently at the network level 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net It would be sooo easiy. All it would take… A single 🔫 and ⁌

@bender@twtxt.net Fuck 😅 CI job failed to publish the new OCI image: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/actions/runs/525

@bender@twtxt.net 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Which feed has Unicode newlines in the desc? Hmm 🧐

Putin is a Devllion

Fix going out now

@david@collantes.us Hah 😅 I have an idea though… There’s like some ~50 odd or so active users in the growing community just off the top of my head. I reckon if we all chipped in $20 USD ea you’d have your Mac Mini M4 🤣

@quark@ferengi.one Ull fix that 👌

@quark@ferengi.one pretty sure that gets updated if it changes on every fetch.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I’ve made many edits/updates to that page. Maybe I should amend a few more things, but it’s been pretty stable really.

@bender@twtxt.net Actually I’ve been maintaining that page for a while now 😅

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt What Hallway link?

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I’m not even sure @bender? works (for example) but @bender@twtxt.net does I think.

@bender@twtxt.net You mean @movq??

@bender@twtxt.net I barely used it myself, I get why we built it (link verification), but I’d rather just keep the other feature that strips tracking params on links.

@bender@twtxt.net Bahahahahaha

@bender@twtxt.net My apologies 😅 I was just being “human” and saying “over there @aelaraji@aelaraji.com said this” 🤣

@thecanine@twtxt.net I think I might just remove this feature entirely. What do you think? The link verification think that is.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Uggh no, that’s not right. That seems like a bug with the external ink verification feature. Can you go into your Settings and turn that off and try again? 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net Thank you! 🙏 I’ll see about fixing this. If you can submit a PR maybe that would be good! 👍

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Thanks 🙏

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Okay you are right. I’m not being very specific, but intentionally very broad and my statement is generalized that’s true. There are so many examples and issues to talk about, if we did, we’d be here a while 😅 Let’s just agree that we both agree on extremism not really being a good thing and leave it at that 🤣

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl It currently takes my yarnd pod here around ~2m on average to fetch, process and cache ~700 feeds.

As @aelaraji@aelaraji.com points out, this @<bender bender@twtxt.net> is currently wrong. The 2nd part of a mention is currently required to be a full absolute URI.

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl Here you go:

$ bat https://twtxt.net/twt/dn2zlga | jq '.'
{
  "twter": {
    "nick": "Codebuzz",
    "uri": "https://www.codebuzz.nl/twtxt.txt",
    "avatar": "https://www.codebuzz.nl/twtxt-avatar-800.jpg"
  },
  "text": "(#q5rg3ea) Hey, @<bender bender@twtxt.net> I know. Just wondering the kind of apps or software and how you all stay up to date in conversations. Is it through webmentions?",
  "created": "2024-10-30T22:12:24Z",
  "markdownText": "(#q5rg3ea) Hey, @<bender bender@twtxt.net> I know. Just wondering the kind of apps or software and how you all stay up to date in conversations. Is it through webmentions?",
  "hash": "dn2zlga",
  "tags": [
    "q5rg3ea"
  ],
  "subject": "(#q5rg3ea)",
  "mentions": [],
  "links": []
}

@thecanine@twtxt.net It works. What’s this pop up you’re seeing?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I didn’t look, so that’s why it’s not rendering because it’s not an actual URL.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Good enough 😅 LMK if I can help in any way then, what I built isn’t perfect, but the crawler is able to crawl the entire space in ~15m or so (every day)

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net Oh hey! 👋

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org The reason I ask is that I maintain the Twtxt search engine and crawler service that basically does exactly this, so I’m curious what you’re trying to solve by doing this yourself? Not that that’s a bad idea. I just want to understand what you are trying to achieve. 🤗

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org OK fine to be more specific. The problem I have with both religion and politics is they both often influence people or groups of people to either extremes.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org I agree religion in and of itself is about as bad as politics in my view.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org This is largely by accident and not on purpose:

Lately I’ve been browsing twtxt.net since they aggregate most of the known network

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org what problem does building a social graph solve?

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Just talking about regular mentions here.

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl how did you end up with a broken incomplete mention here? 🤔

Alternatively, if you prefer yarnd to pretty-print all twts nicely, even ones from simpler clients, that’s fine too and you don’t need to change anything. My ¼ -> ¼ thing is nothing more than a minor irritation which probably isn’t worth overthinking.

Yeah I’ve closed the PR, I just wanted to write it up and see what we all thought. Much easier to talk to a concrete spec proposal sometimes. I realised as I was writing it too that it wasn’t really going to achieve much in practise. I think we all agree 👍

What’s wrong with my original suggestion of doing the transformation before the text hits the twtxt.txt file? @prologic, I think it would achieve what you are trying to achieve with this content-type thing: if someone writes ¼ on a yarnd instance or any other client that wants to do this, it would get transformed, and other clients simply wouldn’t do the transformation. Every client that supports displaying unicode characters, including Jenny, would then display ¼ as ¼.

So many clients do client-side transformation already, mostly in the form of @-mentions. e.g: If I @falsifian@www.falsifian.org mention you, that gets transformed into the full proper Twtxt mention syntax. We could in theory transform other things too, but I see little value in doing so? 🤔 – Also it’s probably more a “Client” recommendation anyway at that point right?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Only that this rendering behavior comes from yarnd’s Markdown parser library that is used:

What has text/markdown got to do with this? I don’t think Markdown says anything about replacing ¼ with ¼, or other similar transformations. It’s not needed, because ¼ is already a unicode character that can simply be directly inserted into the text file.

Closed

@david@collantes.us On it! 🤣

@david@collantes.us Bahahahahaha 🤣

No apology necessary. I think it brings little to no value.

@david@collantes.us Juat buy it 🤣🧐

@bender@twtxt.net The only changes I can foresee are really to yarnd. As no other client I’m aware of really cares aall that much. 🤣 It’s only in an attempt to solve this. No I’m not sure about this 🤣
