We won. https://research.swtch.com/telemetry-opt-in

@prologic From Russ Cox: "note that if you set GOPROXY=direct, the go command still uses the checksum database to protect against supply chain attacks. If you really want the go command not to use servers, you also need to set GOSUMDB=off."

lol it has no end

Whelp, @prologic, Google can't help but be Google, and I shouldn't have believed you... Russ Cox wants to build telemetry directly into the core Go tools: https://github.com/golang/go/discussions/58409

You can't remove the Google stench from anything Google is involved in.

Oh, shoot, it's 13 UTC now? I just... got on the call... whoops. I knew the second call was 7 hours after the first one, and I didn't actually look at the time of the first one in my calendar, and made a daylight savings-inspired screw-up.

Can we please get rid of daylight savings time as a thing?

Wooo! I'm back! And the app has a new name!

Hey @prologic, are you planning on switching git.mills.io over to Forgejo when it launches?

On the call we were talking about how Mastodon servers DDoS websites when they generate link previews: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/11/mastodon-stampede/ There's some interesting questions about how to do this more efficiently without a bad user experience.

Switched my Sandstorm dev box from an Ubuntu machine to a Debian one this week. Night and day difference in performance, once you get past the part where Debian fresh installs broken in various subtle ways.

Wrote a new Sandstorm.io app tonight in *less than an hour* called Sum: https://apps.sandstorm.io/app/uw6vkwgwkeqv9fdkh94hqwt6nh4jfm02hzf3mkth1qfntkfx8cjh?experimental=true

It's extremely simple (basically an old tape adding machine plus a memo field), but it'll save me some time and make a process i do mobile friendly.

This is an excellent post. https://theintercept.com/2022/10/28/elon-musk-twitter/

@prologic NFT!

Hey all, it's weekly call time! https://meet.jit.si/Yarn.social Join us!

Why is everyone's profile picture gone/default on Goryon?

New styling on desktop looks real good here!

Okay fine, @mckinley, I'll update my feed source. I get the message.

Yarn.social call notes: Nobody showed up, so @prologic just kept teaching me Go stuff.

@jason The call is 19 minutes from now, if people show up.

No call tonight, I assume?

@prologic , GoNix ponderances: If Docker runs, would non-GoNix-compatible apps run successfully in said Docker containers? is go-capnp something that would run in GoNix, considering I believe the Go side is just the bindings?

Hey @prologic if I was gonna try to write one or two small web apps with Go, could I waste your time on a call to get me started?

@prologic @mckinley Paper I referenced in my draft blog post: It's really old school, but I find it kinda fun: https://www.spinellis.gr/pubs/jrnl/2003-PUC-ifurnace/html/furnace.html

(I wrote this Yarn entirely in parenthesis and it disappeared.) Note: These aren't hidden on the iOS app!

(I wrote this Yarn entirely in parenthesis and it disappeared.) You see my entire message as the conversation ID, basically?

(If I start writing) I kinda think this is a bug?

(If I start writing) a post in parenthesis, it assumes it's a Yarn ID and hides it.

(I wrote this Yarn entirely in parenthesis and it disappeared.)

Apparently if I write a Yarn entirely in parenthesis, I write a blank Yarn... But if I edit it, the text is still there. Test post to follow.

Calendaring is hard, so those who actually read the file will notice it's set as 12 AM in America/Chicago... I should probably edit it to be based around UTC, or James' time if he does any daylight savings stuff and intends the call to follow it accordingly... but if I amend this, and you subscribe, your calendar will get the updates!

@prologic The green banner tells me you need that registration CAPTCHA. ;) https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/issues/962

So, @prologic, I feel like I should convince you that your self-hosting solution you build should use containerized documents (Sandstorm calls them "grains" for kind of good reasons, but documents is usually applicable). This would have twofold benefits: 1. Your platform would be more secure/better. 2. Apps you build for it would probably be reasonably straightforward to also run on Sandstorm.

I mean, I am US Central, but I'm used to basing things on Eastern time so it's not a big deal, lol.

@prologic I found the Atom feed, but I'm worried it might be *too* noisy, I don't want to overwhelm my feed reader too much. Hmm...

Material design on my iPhone? *Gross* Feedback cc: @prologic

Literally the first time I remembered on the right day, lol.

So like... there's no notifications for this thing, are there, @prologic?

@prologic @antonio ">https://twtxt.net/search?tag=xv2o3ua>) I guess the concern is: If you don't at least mirror the code to GitHub, discoverability of your code will suffer. But if you do mirror your code to GitHub, they potentially will ingest it into future AI training sets. Not sure there's a good way to have your cake and eat it too, apart from someone finally passing legislation that regulates how big companies (ab)use AI on other people's data.

@prologic Can you document the API side of things a bit on dev.twtxt.net? Is there a URL I can enter into my browser to see my feed on twtxt.net the way another client would see it?

I am testing out twtxt!
