Interesting factoid... By inspecting my "followers" list every now and again, I can tell who uses a client like jenny, tt or any other client where fetches are driven by user interactions of invoking the app. What do we call this type of client? Hmmm πŸ€” Then I can tell who uses yarnd because they are "seen" more frequently 🀣

I’m thinking of building a hardened peering protocol for Yarn.social’s yarnd: pods establish cryptographic identities, exchange signed /info and /twt payloads with signature verification, ensuring authenticity, integrity, and spoof-proof identity validation across the distributed network.

@xuu or @kat Do either of you have time this weekend to test upgrading your pod to the new cacher branch? πŸ€” It is recommended you take a full backup of you pod beforehand, just in case. Keen to get this branch merged and to cut a new release finally after >2 years 🀣

Regex Isn't Hard - Tim Kellogg πŸ‘ˆ this is a pretty good conscience article on regexes, and I agree, regex isn't that hardβ„’ -- However I think I can make the TL;DR even shorter πŸ˜…


Regex core subset (portable across languages):

Character sets β€’ a matches β€œa” β€’ [a-z] any lowercase β€’ [a-zA-Z0-9] alphanumeric β€’ [^ab] any char but a or b

Repetition (applies to the preceding atom) β€’ ? zero or one β€’ * zero or more β€’ + one or more

Groups β€’ (ab)+ matches β€œab”, β€œabab”, … β€’ Capture for extract/substitute via $1 or \1

Operators β€’ foo|bar = foo or bar β€’ ^ start anchor β€’ $ end anchor

Ignore non‑portable shortcuts: \w, ., {n}, *?, lookarounds.

πŸ’‘ I had this crazy idea (or is it?) last night while thinking about Twtxt and Yarn.social πŸ˜… There are two things I think that could be really useful additions to the yarnd UI/UX experience (for those that use it) and as "client" features (not spec changes). The two ideas are quite simple:

  • Voting -- a way to cast, collect a vote on a decision, topic or opinion.
  • RSVP -- a way to "rsvp" to a virtual (pr physical) event.

Both would use "plain text" on top of the way we already use Twtxt today and clients would render an appropriate UI/UX.

Am I the only one that's confused by the discussions, and then the voting we had on the whole threading model? πŸ€” I'm not even sure what I voted for, but I know it wasn't the one that won haha 🀣 (which I'm still very much against for based on an intuition, experience and lots of code writing lately).

@bender I noticed that although the Discover view (and your own Timeline) is much improved with a MaxAgeDays configuration at the pod level, that now some profiles are rather empty.

Btw @andros ; The automated feed you put together for Hacker News... Does it at any point rewrite parts of the feed as it goes along? πŸ€” I've had to unfollow it because I've found in practise it makes a twt, then seems to modify that same twt (observed by content manually) at least twice. This ends up becoming effectively an "Edit" and essentially duplicate (looking) posts 😒

I asked ChatGPT what it knows about Twtxt πŸ˜‚ And surprisingly it's rather accurate:

Twtxt is a minimalist, decentralized microblogging format introduced by John Downey in 2016. It uses plain text files served over HTTPβ€”no accounts, databases, or APIs. In 2020, James Mills (@prologic) launched Yarn.social, an extended, federated implementation with user discovery, threads, mentions, and a full web UI. Both share the same .twtxt.txt format but differ in complexity and social features.

Based on a recent study of the brains of mice I estimated the human brain to have 200B cells/neurons and 50,000T connections. We have several orders of magnitude to go before we reach that kind of scale with these fucking stupid Big LLMs 🀣 And the best part of all? 🧐 It is estimated that the human brain only consumes the equivalent of 5 Watts of power !!! 🀣🀣🀣
