@mckinley@twtxt.net Oh well in that case, I’d redesign the IRC protocol to be more like a combination of what Signal is today but with SMTP like capabilities. A bit like what we’ve been trying to do with Salty IM – So-called “federated” instant messaging, with group support and fully e2e encrypted.
@prologic@twtxt.net Any of the above
I wonder if I can turn this into a multi-protocol browser 🤔
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Damn no native macOS builds 😢
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Found it!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Only found 3 results for “robotst.xt” and OpenAI 😢 I seem to recall an effort (I cannot find) to build a standard for AI Crawlers similar to robots.txt
@mckinley@twtxt.net Define “fundamental internet protocol”? Do you mean fundamental things that make the Internet work like IP, TCP, DNS, various routing protocols like BGP, OSPF, etc? Or things more like application protocols like IRC, HTTP, etc?
#QOTD : If you could redesign a fundamental internet protocol from scratch, which one would you choose and how would you improve it?
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL which I block on purpose 🤣
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bahahaha 🤣 The domain for that image is blocked on my local network 😅
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Good luck! 🤞
@mckinley@twtxt.net I see 🤔
@rrraksamam@twtxt.net I’m looking forward to my all-SSD Btrfs RAID5 NAS. I think it’ll be a while, though. I just paid $6.92/TB for a couple of used 12TB HDDs.
@prologic@twtxt.net They’re shutting down after 7 years. It was a great place to buy Monero with cash by mail. https://localmonero.co/nojs/blog/announcements/winding-down
50 Core CPU, 128GB RAM, 20TB SSD laptops when?
@mckinley What happened to it? 🤔
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Nice. Compiling problematic software is my #1 use of containers on my PC. I use a handful of them on my server.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de To be fair Twtxt has always been quite niche. Yarn picked up interest a bit a few years back, but then things died down a bit. I built yarnd
for me, I continue to use it and improve it every now and again. But I guess the only uses we’ll continue to see and that includes new folks are folks that give a shit about simple things, and see value in a slow, privacy focused medium? 🤔
Cut my following list down to just a mere ~47 feeds. ~11 rss/news feeds, 23 local feeds from my pod, and 13 external feeds.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Same here. Where does it not work, @movq@www.uninformativ.de?
@news Err I meant “junk” 🤣 (too late to edit, cbf editing it manually or via the API/CLI 😅)
New feature (not a great UX, sorry 😞) that displays the last fetched feed status, last error (if any) and error count in your “Following” list. Check it out and cleanup your feeds for “hunk” 👌
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Could also just be a shitty antenna 😅
I just unfollowed some ~200+ feeds that are basically dead “404 Not Found” 😳
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well I used to have a handheld GPS device, probably before I lost most of my sight. I didn’t really feel that it took ~12m to get a fix, it was usually much faster. You may just find that all this A-GPS thing is all just bullshit anyway and just an excuse to collect and store your GPS location on some random web server that someone else owns 🤣
