In-reply-to » @prologic I agree with @movq. Good documentation is better than an interactive setup process. My difficulties (#isyb2aq) were because I was just doing it for testing and I wanted it running as quickly as possible. If I was running it in a production capacity, I would read through the documentation.

Speaking of which @prologic@twtxt.net, have you heard from @ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net lately? He’s active on mastodon but I haven’t seen him around here in a long time.

In-reply-to » What does a yarnd setup look like to anyone? 🤔 Let's say it exists, and it helps you setup a Yarn pod in seconds. What does it do? Of course I'd have to split out yarnd itself into yarnd run to actually run the server/daemon part.

@prologic@twtxt.net I agree with @movq@www.uninformativ.de. Good documentation is better than an interactive setup process.

If you’re trying to make non-technical people set up their own Yarn pod, that’s probably (unfortunately) impossible. Management software like Sandstorm make it “as easy as installing apps on your phone” (direct quote from sandstorm.org) and most people still pay Google to store their photos.

I remember you were trying to do paid hosting for Yarn pods in the past. That could work, but as I’m sure you know it’s difficult to convince people to use this over X or Facebook, let alone host their own pod. I think it’s going to stay a small community of fairly technical people for the foreseeable future.

In-reply-to » Experiment: Locking down my Android phone in the firewall, only allowing outgoing connections that I approve of. Let’s see how that goes.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeap! I totally get it 🤣 It’s the same as some macOS stuff that I found that “proxies” egress connections on behalf of other apps. I’m like wtf?! Get fucked 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah it’s frightening how much our “devices” talk to “things”, things we don’t even know about or have any control over (or very little) 😳 I’ve been doing this for my personal Mac with Little Snitch, and I’ve blocked so much shit™ directly from my Mac. Quite happy with that. Not I just have to figure out how to do similar things for my iPhone 📱

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 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh you said “version” Hmmm 🤔 Yeah I’m missing something in the Docker piblish workflows 🤔

In-reply-to » QOTD: How large is your shell history? No history, 500 lines, 10'000, 100'000, something else?

~115k on this machine, similar on others. I’d say if I summed them all up I’d be in the millions 😅

In-reply-to » Heya folks 👋 For those of you that have accounts on my pod (twtxt.net), I'm going to be deleting 235 accounts today: https://gist.mills.io/prologic/0381c79977384051bb0b4afc89b4893d

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh heck you’re right! 🤣 I noticed a few go by that I thought “fuck that’s probably worth keeping” 😅 Oh well, I have backups, and everything is “archived”. There are ~314 accounts left LOL 😂

In-reply-to » I'm starting to embrace containers on my PC for software I want to use once without littering my home folder with junk files. It's nice.

@mckinley@mckinley.cc That’s actually one of the most useful aspects of so-called “containers”, really images, or effectively tarball(s) with a full userland that you can effectively chroot in to.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no you mean, you don’t want the dog mauling everything in the house while you are away? 😅

It’s 500. I never changed it, so that’s the default of either Bash or my distro. It’s fine for me.

In-reply-to » @movq Hda to look this up and after I had done so (successfully after some improvements to the search engine) I am convinced that this is the right path to go down in terms of "I want to see old stuff" 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net having to go to search to read an older conversation is inefficient, unseemly, and an overall poor user experience. There has to be another way, right?

In-reply-to » One great feature of Vim (and probably other editors) is “keyword completion”: Type the beginning of a word, then press Ctrl-N and Vim will give autocompletion options by scanning all the words in the current file. For example, when I now type “au” and then Ctrl-N, it will suggest “autocompletion”.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de But can it hallucinate? 🤔
