In-reply-to » I made some improvements to the Twtxt Search service tonight. Hopefully this update makes it a bit easier to use and resolves some of your critical pieces of feedback @lyse 🤞 The main idea being that by default the search is basically a "Query String" type search, meaning that it does what you expect. If you search for a simple term, it'll do that, If you enclose your search term in "double quotes" it'll search for that phrase. If you then want to search against specific fields you can do so with mentions:prologic@twtxt.net for example. I hope this makes the useability much better 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Fixed!

In-reply-to » @aelaraji off topic, I think you are using hard wrapping, or something similar, on mutt/neomutt. The formatting of your twts come up a little off. Specifically, the line wraps.

Looks like he’s just pressing enter twice really, resulting in what I think are hard paragraphs 🤣 e2 80 a8 is the hexdump for \u2028 – the unicide newline character used in multi-line twts.

@bender Trust you to pick up on something like that 🤣 Looks fine to me, but then again I’m not sure where those lines should or should not be separated 😅

In-reply-to » Well! My 24 hrs without a GUI Web browser was quite of a nice experience. As a matter of fact, and as long as I'm not doing any 3D work, I kind of don't need gui applications as much as it feels like.

In-reply-to » Wow, it's crazy how many people already delivered donations for our scout flea market today. Collecting and delivering officially starts tomorrow, today was just the setup. Covering the floor of the town's multipurpose hall, transporting and arranging beer tables and benches, setting up sign, that sort of thing.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org this almost made me choke:

But on the flipside, we’ve also been abused as dumpsters again. Some asshole brought us a deep fryer. With the oil still in it. Unfortunately, we discovered that too late.

In-reply-to » @prologic ZFS is fine but it's out-of-tree and extremely inflexible. If Btrfs RAID5/6 was reliable it would be fantastic. Add and remove drives at will, mix different sizes. I hear it's mostly okay as long as you mirror the metadata (RAID1), scrub frequently, and don't hammer it with too many random reads and writes. However, there are serious performance penalties when running scrubs on the full array and random reads and writes are the entire purpose of a filesystem.

@prologic@twtxt.net Planning it ahead of time is all well and good if you have the money to buy 6 or 8 hard drives at once. I really don’t, and I want to mirror the whole thing offsite anyway. Mergerfs will let me do it now, and I’ll buy a drive each for SnapRAID in short order.
