Plz i need to know if it was still April fools day someplace when the Tariffs were announced.

Hi, So i made a little MVP registry crawler tool for twtxt. It now has a basic UI to play with. It has a somewhat full history back to about 2018-ish. Plus some interesting bits that were timestamped to earlier.

Find it here: https://watcher.sour.is

Code base is found here: https://git.sour.is/sour-is/xt

Interesting.. so running into an issue where queries only return a partal set of rows if i run in a docker image built from scratch. i have to add the debian root image for it to work. I wonder what file is missing that the root has?

I'm not much a fan of registry limit/offset paging. I think I prefer the cursor/count method. And starting at zero for first and max for latest.

I need to figure out a way to back off requests to feeds that don't update often.

@prologic I created a script for your book. i have only done the first two chapters. have to do some adjustments to the text so it sounds ok and that takes time..

I hate to say it .. but we as a species have peaked at this moment. It's all down hill from here.

@prologic its hard to change by consensus. Some things are won in implementation.

Why you got to lie to me Google?

i made a little twtxt feed fixer for when a feed uses other whitespace instead of tabs.

Just leaving this book here for no reason 🤫

This UX can be very frustrating.

Nice! totally legit government page: https://tour.diplomaticrooms.state.gov/?id=0&xml=https://sour.is/awesome.html

Bro.. Gitea I think you are drunk. How is Jan 2024 5 days ago?

One benefit with bluesky is your username is also a website. And not a clunky URL with slashes and such. I wish twtxt adopted that. I have advocated for webfinger to for twtxt to let us do something like it with usernames. Nostr has something like it

By default the bsky.social urls all redirect to their feeds like: hmpxvt.bsky.social Many custom urls will redirect to some kind of linktree or just their feed cwebonline.com or la.bonne.petite.sour.is or if you are a major outlet just to your web presence like https://theonion.com‬ or https://netflix.com

Its just good SEO practice

Do all nostr addresses take you to the person if typed into a browser? That is the secret sauce. No having to go to some random page first. no accounts. no apps to install. just direct to the person.

Its time to brush up on your competitive programming skills!

This is so neat.

When yarn used to have blogs I thought something like this would be a great feature. Having the blog comments tied to a twtxt subject for the blog post.

Interesting list of features to protect users and communities on bluesky. I wonder if any make sense in text context.

Can I edit this twt?

Lol. "Lighty Encrypted" https://www.pcmag.com/news/hot-topic-breach-confirmed-millions-of-credit-cards-email-addresses-exposed

Spent some time cleaning up my AoC code to get ready for December 1st. Anyone else doing it this year? @prologic we have to setup a new team each year?

This is pretty neat! An IP KVM that doesn't cost a gagillion dollars. I might just back it. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jetkvm/jetkvm

Well poop. Covid coming to visit for a second time.

Is anyone here on simplex? https://sour.is/simplex

@prologic Hi. i have noticed sometimes when i hit the back button i lose all the surrounding layout and just have a list of twts.

Interesting.. QUIC isn't very quick over fast internet.

QUIC is expected to be a game-changer in improving web application performance. In this paper, we conduct a systematic examination of QUIC's performance over high-speed networks. We find that over fast Internet, the UDP+QUIC+HTTP/3 stack suffers a data rate reduction of up to 45.2% compared to the TCP+TLS+HTTP/2 counterpart. Moreover, the performance gap between QUIC and HTTP/2 grows as the underlying bandwidth increases. We observe this issue on lightweight data transfer clients and major web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera), on different hosts (desktop, mobile), and over diverse networks (wired broadband, cellular). It affects not only file transfers, but also various applications such as video streaming (up to 9.8% video bitrate reduction) and web browsing. Through rigorous packet trace analysis and kernel- and user-space profiling, we identify the root cause to be high receiver-side processing overhead, in particular, excessive data packets and QUIC's user-space ACKs. We make concrete recommendations for mitigating the observed performance issues.

Wut?

Kinda cool tool for bringing together all your timeline based data across socials.

@prologic hey testing a rebuild of yarnd

Google Chrome will have Gemini LLM built into the browser.

Testing something.. can someone mention me in a twt?

@prologic @lyse

@lyse

You can't catch the kill signal. Should this be syscall.SIGTERM instead of os.Kill, xuu? https://git.sour.is/sour-is/go-paste/src/branch/main/main.go#L21

You are totally right.. i think i was going for SIGTERM and SIGQUIT

I would love to see a world where ones twtxt feed is defined by webfinger. So @xuu@txt.sour.is => https://text.sour.is/user/xuu/twtxt.txt

Then my identity can exist independent of the feed location. And I can host multiple protocol types for my feed. Ie. http/gopher/Gemini/irc DCC/etc

Go 1.22.0 introduces a new experiment for range functions. Have you tried them out? What do you think it can make easier to accomplish?

seen near my house..

@prologic why am I getting this on your git?

Twtxt spec enhancement proposal thread 🧵

Adding attributes to individual twts similar to adding feed attributes in the heading comments.

https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/go-lextwt/pulls/17

The basic use case would be for multilingual feeds where there is a default language and some twts will be written a different language.

As seen in the wild: https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt

The attributes are formatted as [key=value]

They can show up in the twt anywhere it is not enclosed by another element such as codeblock or part of a markdown link.

man... day17 has been a struggle for me.. i have managed to implement A* but the solve still takes about 2 minutes for me.. not sure how some are able to get it under 10 seconds.

Solution: https://git.sour.is/xuu/advent-of-code/src/branch/main/day17/main.go A* PathFind: https://git.sour.is/xuu/advent-of-code/src/branch/main/search.go

some seem to simplify the seen check to only be horizontal/vertical instead of each direction.. but it doesn't give me the right answer

I found these write-ups for advent of code. They are quite well done and a great learning resouce for algorithms!

Spent some time getting my air sensors tied together into a dashboard. :-D

In the holiday spirit i have donned my Santa hat. (shamelessly stolen from @movq)

With the global ordering for our private leader board we are all 1st place winners!!

I have been really impressed with the cool visualizations in pygame that @gereleth over on Twitter has been making. #AdventOfCode

So today's #adventofcode was solved with no programming. Just a bit o maths and wolfram/alpha

How did so many get the first star within the first 3 mins?

This day one advantage of code was pretty neat looking.
