@prologic that’s some service!

@prologic I remember when I first ran Yarn on arrakis, it was a mess. Remember I had to start it again from scratch? If I were to run Yarn today, I will have to ask you what -u to use, if I am going to run a web server on it (say, Caddy), and what to do to keep the huge cache Xuu and I like. LOL. Granted, I could figure it out myself after some trial and error too.

To make Yarn install easier? An installer script that would prompt for the settings, generate config, and install the systemd, because, whether we like it or not, the biggest Linux distros around use it.

@bender No worries! My version is very similar, but it doesn’t rely on fork/exec out to the git binary.

@bender It does! Yarn supports both gemini:// and gopher:// – The search engine crawls both too 😅

@bender 🤣

@bender What would make standing up Yarn even easier? I can think of a few things that people might struggle with: a Domain, Pointing the domain at something valid, Maybe a reverse proxy setup. Running yarnd itself is just downloading a binary and configuring it (which could also be easier)

@prologic I don’t see how OP will see the replies. Does Yarn proxies to Gemini?

@bender Hmmm I had a look at the Cloudflare Event logs just now, and I couldn’t find anything that was blocked that was a POST hmmm

@prologic ooooohhh! I like Legit quite a bit. “Oui, il est le git!” :-D Thanks!

That is one magnificent dandelion 😳

Maybe fix the nick too. Having a @ in the # nick = field doesn’t work well. It’s a bug in yarnd 🤣

@@texto-plano.xyz Oh this is a Gemini feed. You should update its Avatar, it has none 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org mind it, English is my second language, though I have been using it since 1992, almost constantly.

“Next weekend”, is the weekend after the one coming up. The one coming up is “this weekend”, or simply “the weekend” (as in, “see you this weekend!” or “will mow the lawn on the weekend”). I don’t like the perceived ambiguity of it, thus I strictly use dates (“lets get together on Saturday, 4 May 2024”). 😅

There is also legit which is probably better than what I’ve done.

web frontend for git

@bender gitxt probably would do the trick for you 👌 It’s not quite as polished as I’d like, but it works.

@Anthony_Sorace@a.9srv.net There is no try! :D

Is there something simpler, and leaner, than Gitea, which will allow me to see (as in read only) git repositories nicely on a web browser? Preferably a one-file-only solution, written in Golang.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hahahahaha! Good findings. Yes, most of them are invented, and medical/drug related. The kick with the German ones is that they summarise an entire paragraph, with not just meaning, but also feelings, and–hypothetically–hard to describe extra meanings rather difficult or impossible to translate to other languages.

Wow, so pretty, dude! The one you used on this twt (tiny photo too, not sure what happened here) doesn’t make justice to the entire set. Very good clicks there!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL. That’s pretty much it, and it just means “extraordinary”. 🤣

@prologic I think it happens more, and more, while on mobile. I use iCloud Private Relay, if that helps.

Now, don’t misunderstand me. With all the perceived drawbacks/flaws I listed, Yarn works. Could it be much better? For sure. But it works. :-D

@eapl.me@eapl.me you wrote:

I don’t use Yarn/Twtxt.net anymore, although I read the homepage a few times a week to catchup on anything interesting.

Then you do use it, no? Right? :-D

I barely twt from my PHP instance.

Because PHP sucks! See what I did? I am “encouraging” engagement! :-D

… it’s too superficial to have a meaningful conversation.

Microblogging is often the antithesis of meaningful. You talk about everything, and anything you want. Even to the void. You have done it!

Yarn is niche. With it’s forks, and yarns, it comes across as a “weird” microblogging for some (weird was the word a friend from Philippines used to refer to Yarn). The UI/UX has issues (I am not an expert, but I would say copying “the others” and slightly adjusting to give Yarn it’s own uniqueness should work), and that keeps people away. The cache blows, I want to be able to see everything, at all times. The built-in search blows, I want a more “ala Google” kind of search. There is more, but you get the gist.

@prologic standing up Mastodon isn’t that much complicated. It is just a little bit more demanding than Yarn, that’s all.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “looking forward to the next weekend”; I see what you did there! :-D
