Iād also be very interested to hear what some other users of yarnd
have to say, sadly there are only a handful of pods around that Iām aware of and/or that peer with my pod (twtxt.net) š¢
Maybe Yarn.social/Twtxt has become boring or too niche? š¤ Anyway cc @eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com @xuu@txt.sour.is @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no @abucci@anthony.buc.ci
Hah š¤£ @dfaria@twtxt.net Your @dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu feed really does consume about >50% of a āDiscoverā search with filters āWithout repliesā and āHide my postsā. š¤£ 36/2 = 18
at 25 Twts per page, thatās about ~72% of the search/view real estate youāre taking up! wow š¤© ā Iād be very interested to hear what ideas you have to improve this? Those search filters were created so you could sift through either your own Timeline or the Discover view easily.
Thereās also a pod-level setting (admins) that control what the āDiscoverā (or front page if youāre not logged in) display:
This is either:
- Local posts only (local to the pod)
- All posts in the podās cache
One of the problems I have with changing the way the āDiscoverā view works whilst at the same time keeping it ācleanā (depending on who you talk to) is the behaviour between āTimelineā (what you follow explicitly) and āDiscoverā (a view into the podās cache). See attached, where I by default prefer a ācollapsedā view (hiding replies). The default behaviour for Discover (no controls) is āeverythingā.
The reason I bring this up is that part of my āworkflowā has become to occasionally use the āDiscoverā view to see if Iāve missed any āin-betweenā replies that often happen, find new interesting folks to follow and/or interact with, etc.
Changing this to anything but the current behaviour would break this flow for me š¢
@prologic and @bender for a start a single user twtxt/yarn pod could look like this š
This happens more often than I would like. š¢
@bender@twtxt.net Get well soon!
(And thanks for not being one of those āitās just a coldā guys.)
One of the super frustrating things about this: I have to write lots of documents, but I am required to use horrendous software to do that. It cannot even number sections automatically, nor can you insert cross-references to other sections. Simple stuff like that. It all has to be done manually.
Even Word 97 could do shit like that ā¦
Today in the news
Microsoft is a security risk
Went out in the cold and noticed that taking photos half an hour on top of the drafty summit is not the very best idea. Not suprising that I freeze if there is snow. Gloves would have been actually great, I only wore my beanie. But it was a very good afternoon and evening. Looking at the snowmen, there must have been heaps of snow on the ground earlier this day.
I came across several different birds and two deer. 36-38 shows the same one, one meadow further, another deer jumped across the road. That was cool.
The focus often wanted to do its own thing, unfortunately. 25 shows the flatness of the Kaiserbergsteige (literally āEmperor Mountain Steep Roadā).
The wording can be more subtle like āThis feed have not seen much activity within the last yearā and maybe adding a UI like I did in timeline showing time ago for all feeds
I agree that it good to clean up the Mastodon re-feeds, but it should also be okay for anyone to spin up a twtxt.txt just for syndicating they stuff from blog or what ever.
The ānot receiving repliesā could partly be fixed by implementing a working webmentions for twtxt.txt
@bender This is what I fell over and bunged up my shin š±
@prologic@twtxt.net Thank
you! and hereās a twt with the said random characters, since Iāve been
cleaning them up manually, earlier before scp-ing my twtxt.txt file. And
maybe a screenshot of how things look in my editor?
Those new lines are added automatically as I type (except for the ones
after the screenshot.
@bendwr and I discussing something along the lines of: I.e: How to deal with or reduce noise from legacy feeds.
Renders like this:
Welcome @aelaraji@aelaraji.com!
What the heck is going on with the encoding here?! The feedās Content-Type
header does not include any charset, but Iām still relying on the official twtxt client to fetch and parse feeds. Havenāt noticed this with any other feeds. Where in the chain is this messed up? :-? Seems like the āspaceā is the Unicode line separator U+2028, that we use for newlines.
We have great April weather over here. Yesterday sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, hail, sun, hail, sun, rain, etc. It didnāt hail today, but sun alternatd with rain a bunch of times. Went out this evening and boy, what an absolutely gorgeous scenery!
@mckinley Looks like XMR is much more stable than bloody BTC which is nice š¤£
I took advantage of the last sunny, but also 25Ā°C hot day and hiked in the woods. It was so much more pleasant in the forest than out in the sun. The wind could have been a long stronger with that heat. I was completely soaked.
At one point I thought I better grab my camera out of my backpack, so whenever something comes up, Iām ready. But I was too lazy and thought, well, I just wait until there is a nice subject and keep going instead. No joke, ten meters further I came across two squirrels. A red and a brown one, sitting on a tree at just one and three meters height two meters away from me. If I only had unpacked my bloody cam a few seconds ago! I just watched them sit on the tree and then tried to slowly strip my backpack and grad the cam. It was still booting up when they decided it was enough sitting around and climbed higher. What a silly move on my end, damn.
I tried to improvise some Lyse Street View, but felt really uncomfortable to photograph other peopleās houses. Somehow my cam produced sooo many blurred shots on the way up still away from the village, itās unbelievable. I scrapped nearly the entire project. Only very few survived. There were heaps of people on the mountain summit, so I quickly left again.

Looking forward to next weekās rain and temperature drop to 16Ā°C or even 8Ā°C.
