You know the saying about my bar (if you didn't, now you do): "Come to Quark's, Quark's is fun; come right now, don't walk β€” run!"

@movq I had to look it up! "Is decaf coffee real coffee?"

"Yes, decaf coffee is real coffee. It's made from the same coffee beans as regular coffee, but the caffeine content is significantly reduced through a decaffeination process. This process involves removing 97% or more of the caffeine, leaving behind the coffee's flavors and aromas."

OK then! πŸ˜…

@lyse those are pretty cool! The one change I would recommend doing pronto is the colour of the hyperlinks. Ay, ay, ay, my retina! :-P

@aelaraji got new screenies? Show them for the rest of us! Last I saw them was at the very early development stage.

@movq yes, I think:

Should work, but I haven’t tested it.

@bender no such luck, not happening. It's almost 04:00 in Brisbane, just wait a bit until the @prological son awakens.

@movq not bad! The yellowish/ivory tint makes it much easier on the eyes. I have gotten so use to "dark" mode, that find it hard switching to anything else.

@movq mine too, mine too! Imagine my frustration being married to someone who prefers the heat. It's like a polar bear married to a desert rat. LOL.

@movq "topic-based forums/groups", you mean what USENET used to be, and the "niche" that Reddit is fulfilling these days? :-D I get it, I agree. I think I find twtxt more fulfilling than anything else because of its small size. I feel like I truly know everyone (even if that might not be true), and find myself "at home". The bigger the place, the shyest I become, the less enticing it is.

@Yarn yo, what's up? I am busy running my business here!

In reply to: #ina2hlq 4 months ago

@prologic yup. Funny enough, the first twtxt should have sufficed, as if there is no domain, there will be no feed (at that domain). The edit to add that the feed will not be available is redundant.

@prologic and this reply will work too.

@prologic well, this fork will work. I an fork this one with jenny, not so with Yarnd.

In reply to: #i6s5sfa 4 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@movq wouldn't editing your own twtxts cause the same issue Yarnd (or any other client) has, which is breaking any replies to it? Under which conditions would this work the best? When copying the twtxt.txt file asynchronously? In my case I copy the twtxt.txt file to its web root right away, but I figure I could not do that, which would give me a set period of time to edit without worries.

Yes, error on my side. All of the sudden jenny refused to show me my own posts. Had to recreate mailbox (got rid of cache too) to make it work.

@doesnm up to you. I have mine to rotate at 1,000 twtxts. I have vomited over 400, so far. I have some way to go till rotation. :-D

@wbknl are you still in Russia? It could be hard mailing anything to there these days. I read your "russia is eternally cold", and became curious. Patagonia is the only place I know on South America that it has rounded mountains, though they can be anywhere. Originally from Chile, or Argentina? My curiosity doesn't need feeding, by the way. It's all good if it doesn't. :-)

@prologic woot, awesome! I am using ux2028 twice in my description. May lower it to once, but need some reference first. πŸ˜…

In reply to: #fmnhewq 9 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

So, @prologic, Yarn isn't rendering the metadata as described on the format documentation. That is, ux2028 is ignored when Yarn renders the description metadata.

@xuu done, and done, and done. The three of us dropped our mail-in ballots, and received confirmation they are counted. Living in a red state (well, kid said it is more like purple now) makes me sad, and mad, but I have done what I can---and that includes explaining things to others, and encouraging them to vote.

@sorenpeter hmm, how does your client handles "a little editing"? I am sure threads would break just as well. πŸ˜‰

In reply to: #xghlsva 11 months ago

@prologic, there is a parser bug on parent. Specifically on this portion:

"*If twtxt/Yarn was to grow bigger, then this would become a concern again. *But even Mastodon allows editing*, so how
+much of a problem can it really be? πŸ˜…*"
In reply to: #uebsf7a 11 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@movq going a little sideways on this, "If twtxt/Yarn was to grow bigger, then this would become a concern again. But even Mastodon allows editing, so how much of a problem can it really be? πŸ˜…", wouldn't it preparing for a potential (even if very, very, veeeeery remote) growth be a good thing? Mastodon signs all messages, keeps a history of edits, and it doesn't break threads. It isn't a problem there.πŸ˜‰ It is here.

I think keeping hashes is a must. If anything for that "feels good" feeling.

@movq ooooh, nice! commit 62a2b7735749f2ff3c9306dd984ad28f853595c5:

Crawl archived feeds in --fetch-context

@movq to paraphrase US Presidents speech on each State of the Union, "the State of the Jenny is strong!" :-D As for the potential upcoming changes, there has to be a knowledgeable head honcho that will agglomerate and coalesce, and guide onto the direction that will be taken. All that with the strong input from the developers that will be implementing the changes, and a lesser (but not less valuable) input from users.

@lyse I call upon the services of the @yarn_police to further investigate this oddness!

In reply to: #azixoaq 11 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@falsifian "I don't really mind if the twt gets edited before I even fetch it.", right, that's never the problem. Editing a twtxt before anyone fetches it isn't even editing, right? :-P The problem we are trying to fix is the havoc is causes editing twtxts that have already been replied to, often ad nauseam. That's the real problem.

In reply to: #5vbi2ea 11 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@lyse now, how am I not surprised at that reply?! Hahahahaha!

In reply to: #bz7aevq 11 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@falsifian that would be problematic to do on a fully decentralised system. I am not disagreeing, though. That's the reason I have stopped editing twtxts. I strive to own mistakes, as minor as they might be. Now, if trail editing can be accomplished, I am all for it!

In reply to: #5vbi2ea 11 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@falsifian what would the difference be between an edit the changes everything on the original twtxt, and a delete?

In reply to: #5vbi2ea 11 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@aelaraji odd, I ran it under Ubuntu 24.04, and got the same result as @prologic (which is on macOS), zq4fgq.

In reply to: #hg754aq 11 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@prologic I just realised the jenny also does what I want, as of latest commit. Simply use jenny --debug-feed <feed url>, and it will do what I wanted too!

In reply to: #hg754aq 11 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@movq alright, fair, and interesting. I was expecting them to be all the same (format wise), but it doesn't matter, for sure, as it works just fine. Thanks!

In reply to: #xvlyzfa 11 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@prologic the real conclusion is, is it going to change, to what, and when? :-P

In reply to: #lryyjla 11 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@prologic yes, that would work, except there is no debug command on my local yarnc. Are you talking about a potential future implementation here?

In reply to: #rssd6sq 11 months ago
quark (ferengi.one)

@prologic I saw those, yes. I tried using yarnc, and it would work for a simple twtxt. Now, for a more convoluted one it truly becomes a nightmare using that tool for the job. I know there are talks about changing this hash, so this might be a moot point right now, but it would be nice to have a tool that:

  1. Would calculate the hash of a twtxt in a file.
  2. Would calculate all hashes on a twtxt.txt (local and remote).

Again, something lovely to have after any looming changes occur.

In reply to: #hg754aq 11 months ago

@aelaraji Woah! Overkill, but nicely laid out. Hey, the ultimate goal is for it to work, so, mission accomplished! :-)

@prologic woot! Fast! I think you need to change your nick to "fastlogic" instead. :-D
