hahahahaha 🤣 Does your client allow you to do this or what? 🤔

@bmallred Hehe, @bender is gonna be upset with you for "making up a thread/subject" 🤣

A visual flow chart diagram that illustrates how two different but very related concepts can lead to system accidents 👌

• asynchronous evolution
• drift into failure

@andros One thing I really liked about the hacker news rss feeds is the link to the comments. Reckon you can add that to the feed? 🤔

@xuu or @kat Do either of you have time this weekend to test upgrading your pod to the new cacher branch? 🤔 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 🤣

PR to Add improved styles for the logo for twtxt.ndev

@kat hey! Love the new avatar 👌

My pod twtxt.net feels very clear of late hmmm 🧐 This is good right? 😅

Responded to a bunch of Twtxt open issues across multiple repositories today 👌

💡 I had this crazy idea (or is it?) last night while thinking about Twtxt and Yarn.social 😅 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.

@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. This is only because well, they're a bit "inactive" so to speak 🗣️ Not sure what to do about this at the moment... Open to ideas? 💡

Hmmm there's a bug somewhere in the way I'm ingesting archived feeds 🤔

sqlite> select * from twts where content like 'The web is such garbage these days%';
      hash = 37sjhla
  feed_url = https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt/1
   content = The web is such garbage these days 😔 Or is it the garbage search engines? 🤔
   created = 2024-11-14T01:53:46Z
created_dt = 2024-11-14 01:53:46
   subject = <a href="?search=37sjhla" class="tag">#37sjhla</a>
  mentions = []
      tags = []
     links = []
sqlite>

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? 🤔 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 😂 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 HTTP—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.

Oh hey @rrraksamam 👋 Welcome back! 🙌 Sorry about the data loss 🤯

@@marado@ciberlandia.pt Hey! do you see this? 🧐

@bender ping! 🏓

@andros your feed is spitting out dupes? 🧐

@bender I think mentions are fixed 🤣

Oh hello @yarn_police 🚨

@bender You will be pleased to know that yarnd now only consumes ~60-80MB of memory depending on load 🤣 And bugger all CPU 😅

@kate @eldersnake @abucci -- I've already spoken to @xuu on IRC about this, but the new SqliteCache backend I'm working on here, what are your thoughts regarding mgirations from old MemoryCache (which is now gone in the codebase in this branch). Do you care to migrate at all, or just let the pod re-fetch all feeds? 🤔

FYI: I've re-opened up search for anonymous use. So things like this now work without having to have an account on this pod or login. 👌 #search #twtxt
