@xuu I have a very hard time understanding all of that. What’s the problem being solved by “Web3”? 🤔 The whole article reads like satire.
@xuu It looks pretty similar to a overcomplicated crypto-scam, which is probably what it is. I don’t have much faith in anything anymore, but I doubt the Internet is just going to degrade into it all being this. 🤨
Yeah, no, pass on Web 3.0, or whatever they want to call it.
@movq I am sure he could do better without socks. 😂😂😂 But yes, that’s the idea. 🎸
Web3 is a scam. Case in point. The complexity of systems increasing the points of failure. From this article.

@ullarah Technically you could use more special characters in the local part, but good luck getting this mail through other mail servers. Even nowadays e-mail address validation is completely broken on lots of websites and rejects even simple characters like +. A mate is constantly complaining about that, when he tries to sign up somewhere and wants to use a dedictated address for it to automatically move it into a certain folder. So you better limit yourself to alphanumeric, dot, minus und undercore. :-(
@ullarah Ahhh!. I always thought this is a play on Uluru.
@movq It pops you modal message boxes with compilation errors in your face right while editing even though you didn’t press save. I had to use it once at my former employer. For this alone somebody should have been hung, drawn, quadrisected, revived, drowned, stabbed…
@ullarah That thing costs more than I spent – in total – on all my audio equipment. 😂 I guess I’m cheap …
@ullarah It’s a new thing. I mean, e-mail easily predates Unicode anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_and_email My mail server (OpenSMTPD) doesn’t even support it yet. 😬
@ullarah Ah, right! Thanks.
It never occurred to me that you can’t use æøå and the like for emails? Or was this a limitation back in the ye olde days?
I honestly have no clue where mine came from… It’s pronounced you-laah-rah though!
Had something to do with my folks farm back in the 90s. Searching for my nick reveals quite a bit over the past 10 years haha!
@lyse Magpie! 🙂 Looks like a young’n too.
@movq Yes, the date is also quite important in my opinion since I will most likely go with a date based rotation. I need to check the numbers but maybe quarterly or in high-traffic months even monthly. Not sure yet.
@prologic I always thought that the “logic” refers to the logic or logical thinking in programming and the “pro” could stand for “programming”. Quite close. :-)
@darch Cool! Up until now I went with the German “ch” instead of the “k”. Simplifies the pronounciation in my head a bit.
@xuu Quite evolved, cool story! I always pronounced it in my head as “xuu” with an actual “x”. Now I know better.
@xuu ;-) So like the first version?
@prologic I started out with Delphi, it had the best GUI editor ever. Later in other languages it was always best to write the GUI just completely yourself and draw it on paper first. Today, I avoid programming GUI applications.
@prologic Oh very nice! And not shy at all. Looks like a crow, how do you call it?
@thecanine I have no idea, I’ve never used that VBA thingy. 🤔
@ullarah @thecanine Yes, please! :-)
@movq yeah! Tis a Fender Newporter.
@thecanine haha, yarn theme song! 👌
There is always QB64 if you’re feeling nostalgic!
@thecanine Among the many things I do at work, creating VBA for Excel documents is the most frustrating thing ever… but when it works it’s both a miracle and makes me seem like a master wizard to my manager 😂
@ullarah Sweet!
That’s a semic-acoustic guitar with piezo pickups, right? 🤔
@prologic Probably. The thing is, I only discovered Delphi after VB. Plus, VB was “the natural thing to do” anyway, since I started out with Basic. 😁
@fastidious You mean like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMWrrCJuGu0 🥴
@ullarah That looks amazing! From the 25th of December, you’ll be required to join every online Yarn meeting and start it with a guitar song! 😏
@movq Maybe I’m somewhat biased, because I had to use the bullshit implementation in Microsoft Excel, but I can’t imagine the real thing being much better. 🤔
@ullarah Oooooeer that’s nice! 👌 🎸
@movq Delphi was already great for this too 😂
Early Christmas gift… except I’m not allowed to touchy touchy until the 25th… 🤣
@thecanine Awww, why, Visual Basic was great! 😂 It was so easy to make cute little GUI programs …
@thecanine Bahahahaha
@movq Yeah 😂
@movq I just use max size for rotation 👌
@movq I just use monotonic increasing integers for rotation
The real challenge would be to do them all in visual basic and not hang yourself during the first week. 😂
@prologic I didn’t give up entirely. 😁 Just didn’t reach my goal of doing it all in Rust.
I’m a bit surprised that each task has nothing to do with the previous one. You basically write a new program every day. That really promotes “quick and dirty” solutions. 🤔 I was expecting that the tasks build on each other, like, we’ll have a fully functional submarine at the end. 🥴 You probably didn’t expect that, either – I mean, your solutions in Go are waaaay over-engineered. 😂
I pushed the experimental code to jenny’s public repo.
Be aware that it will rotate your files as soon as you run jenny -e or write a new twt. The default number of twts per file is 100.
I hope it’s bug-free, but if you find one, please tell me.
Date-based rotation is not yet implemented and I’m not 100% sure if I’m going to – do we really need that? The main goal of this feature is to keep the files small and I think that “number of twts” is a good measurement for this. But dates? When you write 100 twts per day, you’ll get huge files again. 🤷
@lyse My goal was to keep the files at “a few kilobyte”. 100 lines of twts gets you to around ~25 kB, so I went with that.
I’m not 100% sure about those file names. I certainly want to have the date in there. To avoid collisions, I included the hash. Another way to avoid collisions would be to just use the full date or a UNIX timestamp. 🤔
On our trip up the coast this morning I saw this little cute guy 🦜
Darch comes from my last Mørch which means dark in Danish but it spell mørk when it is not a name. And since you can’t use æøå I emails I just came up with sp_darch when I created my very first Hotmail back the late 90s. Pronounced: dark
Well I deleted another 10 rubbish accounts today 😆
@prologic It’s very possible. I had to have you fix my password reset once before, too.
@xuu Very cool story ! 👌
These are all very cool stories 😅
