Never mind, figured out that yarnc post - is the way to do it. Thanks code!

Can I use yarnc to post directly to twtxt.net from the terminal? Let’s see. Aha! I can. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net, how do I post from the terminal, using yarnc non-interactively? Tried something like:

echo "This is a test." | yarnc post

And it didn’t work—it seems it wants to open an editor.

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 😝

@prologic@twtxt.net and I believe he is an “Open Web Lead” at Automatic, and working on the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress. The theme he uses is his own. Anyway, moving on…

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂 I tried to even read the blog post, but I couldn’t. In all bluntness and honestly the layout and style of the website is total garbage, not to mention it’s written in a language I cannot read, but because it’s just so poorly written the translation service can’t translate it properly 🤦‍♂️ So point across FAIL

Just found a pleasant way to wade through meetings: listening to Puccini’s “La Bohème”. Glorious!

@prologic@twtxt.net a thing, a thing! I mean, the amount of information the OP brought speaks for itself, right, right? 🫢😅

@bender@twtxt.net What is?! 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net “it’s a thing!” 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh yea! I’ll setup some CD for it this weekend 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Hmmm? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de it is all in the context. When referring to computers, if the person uses Microsoft Windows, then colloquially the user “is on Windows”, for example.

For PowerPoint is simpler, as nothing else is called that way, nor have the same spelling. But yeah, similar to “gonna grab a Coke”. It is intrinsically embedded in the language.

Google:

I often wonder what it must be like for native English speakers to use all these so-called brand names. “I use window 11! This is a KraftPoint presentation. I got the code for this script from the idiot turnstile.” All that sort of thing.

🤣🤣🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I figure the same as for non-native. LOL. All translation services are doing a poor job at translating your twtxt. 😭

Absolutely lovely. 🫢

@bender@twtxt.net Makes sense. We definitely need the ability to mute feeds from the Discover feed.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I remember your solution. It’s very simple, I like it.

Yes, my backup target is my home server. I have a hard drive dedicated to Restic repositories. It’s still not a real backup as I don’t have anything offsite but it’s better than my previous solution. I had two very old hard drives I kept plugged in to my desktop PC and I would (on very rare occasion) plug in another hard drive and copy all the files over to it. Luckily, I’ve never suffered any significant data loss and I would rather not start now. Once I have automated backups on each of my machines, the next project is getting those backups offsite.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

If you all were to clear your caches, would your clients fetch archived feeds?

No.

And I’m also thinking of nuking my pod at some point and starting over. But maybe after we refactor a few important things.

@bender I think it comes down to one of the principles Yarn.social was founded on, which is to say, users should have choices and what they “see” is not driven by “algorithms”. The “Discover” view in and of itself has utility/value to others, and is otherwise just a “view” of a pod’s cache, but I agree with you. It was even getting noisey for me 🤣

@mckinley not a problem, but I don’t want to see it. When I get to see it constantly, without following it, then it becomes a problem. Blogs being echo chambers do not bother. They don’t “come to me”. :-D

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Unofficially yarn supports the type field

Meg https://feeds.twtxt.net/slashdot/twtxt.txt

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Probably not? https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/metadataextension.html

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Same to you!

In other words, there isn’t anything specifically wrong with the Twtxt spec (+extensions), but if you for example use a client and server combination that never considered the User-Agent header and check logs or intercept requests for your feed, than you end up missing an important part of the whole flow (unless you are of course deliberating ignoring that, e.g: 1-way feeds, news feeds, etc).
