Over the holiday break I was looking at one of my old projects, µLinux. Turns out I did a fine job realy and have decided to revive the project 🥳 -- Just getting the build/tests woring on my Mac Studio (Apple Silicon). Check it out! 👌 #µLinux

Was just catching up on all the LinkedIN garbage that is well umm garbage 🗑️ One was from a candidate I interviewed, so I had to reply to that 😅 -- Anyway.... Saw this random post in my "notifications":

How do land that job with a Unicorn

First off, you'll have to define what da fuq a "Unicorn" is! 🤣 My understanding a Unicorn is a mythical creature with a horn on its head and wings 🪽 🤦‍♂️

Problem 2: Your SSD-backed database has a usage-pattern that rewards you with a 80% page-cache hit-rate (i.e. 80% of disk reads are served directly out of memory instead of going to the SSD). The median is 50 distinct disk pages for a query to gather its query results (e.g. InnoDB pages in MySQL). What is the expected average query time from your database?

Share your solution via Twtxt and how you arrived at it and I'll share my solution tomorrow!

Yarn.social #Meetup

The Australia Labor government, Albanese and the honourable Michelle Rowland federal member for parliament and communications minster are fucking clowns. It's stupid shit like this that's the real problem with "big tech" social media platforms. These morons just simply don't understand basic economics and basic business.

Why would a company like Meta, X and TikTok give up a large multi-billion dollar segment of the market. That is, young children from the ages of ~3 to 16 (yes kids these days can use a computer or device from a pretty young age!)

The whole masquerade of "online saftey" and the new Australia legislation of the Online Safety Act 2021 is complete and utter bullshit.

You wanna fix this whole cybercrime and cyber bullying that goes on (which btw if you understood how these fucking platforms worked in the first place, you'd realise drives up engagement on the platforms by abusing human emotional and psychological weakness), then ban and make illegal with multi-Billion dollar fines the following:

• Profiting off data collected by users on your platform(s)
• Categorizing users on your platform and performing A/B tests
• Targeting users (of any age) for advertising

In fact just ban targeted advertising period.

After several hard hours, I think I've recovered the last missing 1 Twt from @bender 🥳 Turns out just before I accidentally nuked my pod, I took a dump of it's cached just seconds before 🤣 -- So I was also able to rebuild anything that was missing from the backup from the recent cache dump!

@gallowsgryph do you mind updating the fragment part of your avatar url? 🙏

My very strong opinion on the use of Twtxt is if you intend to use it, you should be prepared to let people pull your feed or at least check it and regular rentals.

Otherwise get out and go use something that's either a distributed (Mastodon, AT, etc) or centralized (Facebook, X, etc) network.

After the behaviour of a clearly very angry feed author over the past few days, I'm very tempted to give up on Twtxt and allow it to go back to being dead. What really is the point of building and supporting a way to exchange little pieces of text with one another in a completely decentralized way, if you're just going to keep bumping up against such hostility? I don't know why I do this anymore.

Who's coming to the online meetup today? 🤔

The real crux of the matter is this whole moving feeds around to different uri(s). This makes things hard. I think it's worth revisiting @anth 's UUID idea for its merits.

@Codebuzz Welcome to Twtxt 🤗

Ya know; Rather than being an asshole and getting all angry, just be reasonable and reach out to the community or folks fetching (or trying) your feed.

Most clients respect caching if your feed is transported I've HTTP.

Otherwise you can add the # refresh hint to clients on your feed.

No need to be an obnoxious ass and flood your own feed. That will just get you permanarely unfollowed and ignored.

Offen Fair Web Analytics This looks pretty good., might give this a try. Been using GoatCounter, but it's pretty bland in that it doesn't really tell me much 😅

• iTECHDCDC25 12V/24V 25A DCDC & MPPT Battery Charger
• Renogy DCC30S 12V 30A Dual Input DC to DC Battery Charger with MPPT

The only advantage of the Renogy over the KickAss/ITech models is it has Bluetooth monitoring and an App capabilities so you can check the state of the battery/charging/etc from your phone.

Let's talk about #foo 🤣

@doesnm Haha 🤣 Blame @sorenpeter 🤣

Over the past few days I've been playing around with the latest Chat-GPT, I think the model is called o1-preview. I've used it for various tasks from writing documentation, specs, shell scripts, to code (in Go).

The result? Well I can certainly say the model(s) are much better than they used to be, but maybe that isn't so much the models per se, but the sheer processing power at OpenAI's data centers? 🤔

But here's the kicker though... If anyone ever for a moment ever think that these "AI" things are intelligent, or that the marketing and hype is ever remotely close to trying to convince of us this "AGI" (Artificial General Intelligence) or ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence), you are sorely mistaken.

Chat-GPT and basically and any other technology based on Generative-AI (Gen-AI), these pre-trained transformers that use adversarial neural networks and insanely multi-dimensional vector databases to model all sorts of things from human language, programming languages all the way to visual and audible art are (wait for it):

Incredibly stupid! 🤦‍♂️

They are effectively quite useless for anything but:

• Reproducing patterns (albieit badly)
• Search and Retrieval (in a way that "seems" to be natural)

And that's about it.

Used as a tool, they're kind of okay, but I wouldn't use Chat-GPT or CoPilot. I'd stick with something more like Codeium if you want a bit of a fancier "auto complete". Otherwise, just forget about the whole thing honestly. It doesn't even really save you time.

If we stuck with Blake2b for Twt Hash(es); what do we think we need to reasonably go to in bit length/size?

=> https://gist.mills.io/prologic/194993e7db04498fa0e8d00a528f7be6

e.g: (turns out @xuu is right about Blak2b being easy/simple too!):

$ printf "%s\t%s\t%s" "https://example.com/twtxt.txt" "2024-09-29T13:30:00Z" "Hello World!" | b2sum -l 32 -t | awk '{ print $1 }'

👋 Thanks for joining us on our Sept monthly Yarn.social meetup today y'all 🙇‍♂️ We had @david @sorenpeter @doesnm @falsifian and @xuu 💪 Nice turn out! (not all at once of course, as we normally run this over 4 hours as we span many time zones!)

Things we talked about:

• Decentralised vs. Distributed
• Use of SHA256 for Twt Hash(es)
• We solved Edits! 🥳
• UUID(s) probably won't work! (susceptible to sppofing)
• Helped @sorenpeter write some PHP to process/parse User-Agent and service his feed via a custom PHP script 😅
• @falsifian introduced himself 👌
• Talked about Merkle Trees 🌳

Did I miss anything? 🤔

yarnd and WebSub

Summary of Discussions (as best I can):

• @lyse and @sorenpeter express simplicity. Both Lyse and Sorenpeter support location-based addressing.
• @falsifian believes we should continue to develop ideas and extensions progressively over time like we've always done.
• @david @quark and @bender would like a better user experience, especially when threads break due to edits, deletions or feed location changes.
• @anth would like to see utf-8 mandated, and the threading model remain largely the same as it is today, which is primarily based on the convention of a Twt Subject anyway, Twt Hash(es) just make the threading "more precise". Anth also states that format, client and server specification/recommendations should be kept separate.
• @movq @xuu sorry you two haven't said too much really, so I'm not too sure?

Overall, the 22 votes we've had on the poll from the community (if you can call it a community?) have clearly shown that:

• We continue to support content-based addressing. (65/35)
• We think about formally supporting edits/deletes (60/40)
• We do not increase the use of cryptography (thworing things like authenticity and identity out the window) (70/30)

And overall the NPS (net promoter score) of "Would I recommend Twtxt to a friend" is a whopping 7/10 (which is crazy! 🤯)

Let's have our monthly catch up soon™ (1hr) and discuss together. My own take on the direction we should take at this point is as follows:

• We continue to use hashing for the threading model.
  • We think about changing this to SHA-256 for simplicity.
• We either adopt @anth's UUID approach or @lyse Dynamic URL approach.
• We continue to incrementally/progressively improve things over time as @falsifian suggested.
• We think about mandating utf-8 as @anth suggests which makes things so much easier for everyone.
• We further discuss the merits/ideas of supporting formal Edit/Delete requests or other ways to better support this in some way.

@doesnm The useragent tool now natively supports the Caddy (JSON) logfile format. 🥳

This Facebook/Meta story on storing passwords in plain text it just wow 😮 -- Like how da fuq does a company, or anyone for that matter in the business of software / technology even do this?! Like at least base64 encode the fuckers right?! (oh wait 🤦‍♂️)

Something @anth said on ITC

17:42 I should also note in there that it doesn’t address the two things i really want it to: mandate utf-8 (which should be easy to fit in) and something for better @ mentions.

I actually agree with in both counts and it got me thinking...

Sharing the comments of the poll (anonymous so I have no idea whom the comments are from):

your poll should include questions about markdown. personally i think inline bits like style, links, images are yes. block quotes, code blocks, bullet lists are mid. but tables and footnotes are no.

Yes sorry about this, I wasn't able to change much after publishing the poll 😅

I think there's a bug in yarnd hwoever:

Last day to have your say before our monthly online meetup 👋

http://polljunkie.com/poll/xdgjib/twtxt-v2

Hmm this question has a leading "Yes" in favor of so far with 13 votes:

Should we formally support edit and deletion requests?

Thanks y'all for voting (it's all anonymous so I have no idea who's voted for what!)

If you haven't already had your say, please do so here: http://polljunkie.com/poll/xdgjib/twtxt-v2 -- This is my feeble attempt at trying to ascertain the voice of the greater community with ideas of a Twtxt v2 specification (which I'm hoping will just be an improved specification of what we largely have already built to date with some small but important improvements 🤞)

Starting a couple of new projects (geez where do I find the time?!):

HomeTunnel:

HomeTunnel is a self-hosted solution that combines secure tunneling, proxying, and automation to create your own private cloud. Utilizing Wireguard for VPN, Caddy for reverse proxying, and Traefik for service routing, HomeTunnel allows you to securely expose your home network services (such as Gitea, Poste.io, etc.) to the Internet. With seamless automation and on-demand TLS, HomeTunnel gives you the power to manage your own cloud-like environment with the control and privacy of self-hosting.

CraneOps:

craneops is an open-source operator framework, written in Go, that allows self-hosters to automate the deployment and management of infrastructure and applications. Inspired by Kubernetes operators, CraneOps uses declarative YAML Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to manage Docker Swarm deployments on Proxmox VE clusters.

Don't forget about the upcoming Yarn.social online meetup coming up this Saturday! 😅 See #jjbnvgq for details! -- Hope to see y'all there 💪

👋 Don't forget to take the Twtxt v2 poll 🙏 if you haven't done so already (sorry about the confusing question at the end!)

A new thing LLM(s) can't do well. Write patches 🤣

Don't forget about the upcoming Yarn.social meetup coming up this Saturday! See #jjbnvgq for details! Hope to see some/all of y'all there 💪

Just out of curiosity, I inspected the yarns database (the search engine//cralwer) to find the average length of a Twtxt URI:

$ inspect-db yarns.db | jq -r '.Value.URL' | awk '{ total += length; count++ } END { if (count > 0) print total / count }'
40.3387

Given an RFC3339 UTC timestamp has a length of 20 characters with seconds precision. We're talking about Twt Subject taking up ~63 characters/bytes on average.

Reminder to take the Twtxt (anonymous) Poll: http://polljunkie.com/poll/xdgjib/twtxt-v2

Apologies, I can't edit the poll once it's live, so the suggestion on feedback for supporting Markdown will have to be discussed at another time.

So I whipped up a quick shell script to demonstrate what I mean by the increase in feed size on average as well as the expected increase in storage and retrieval requirements.

$ ./compare.sh
Original file size: 28145 bytes
Modified file size: 70672 bytes
Percentage increase in file size: 151.10%
...

One of the reasons we wanted to originally use Contant based addressing and short hashes as our threading model was to keep individual Twts short so that they were still readable if you viewed the manually by hand.

With the proposal to switch to location based addressing using a pointer to a feed and a timestamp in that feed you're looking at roughly 2025 characters long because both the HTTP and HTML and even URI specifications do not specify maximum length for URI(s) AFAIK only recommendations.

Another interesting side effect of changing from content-based addressing to location-based addressing is that switching from 7-byte keys to 2025-character keys for 3.5 million entries would expand the database size from 24.5 MB to about 7.09 GB—an increase of roughly 7.06 GB!

Let's try this pill for Twtxt v2 (no account required)

http://polljunkie.com/poll/xdgjib/twtxt-v2

So I'm a location based system, how exactly do I reply to one of these two Twts from @Yarns ? 🤔

2024-09-07T12:55:56Z

Okay folks, I've spent all day on this today, and I think its in "good enough"™ shape to share:

Twtxt v2:

• Specification: https://docs.mills.io/uJXuisaYTRWYDrl8A2jADg?both
• implementation: https://gist.mills.io/prologic/afdec15443da4d7aa898f383f171ec1b

LOl 😂 Not only have a tried to write up a full Twtxt v2 specification, I've also written a Bash shell script that implements the new spec 😅

👋 Reminder folks of the upcoming Yarn.social monthly online meetup:

I hope to see @david @movq @lyse @xuu @sorenpeter and hopefully others too @aelaraji @falsifian and anyone else that sees this! 🙏 We're hopefully going to primarily discuss the future of Twtxt and the last few weeks of discussions 🤣

• Event: Yarn.social Online Meetup
• When: 28th September 2024 at 12:00pm UTC (midday)
• Where: Mills Meet : Yarn.social
• Cadence: 4th Saturday of every Month

Agenda:

• Let's talk about the upcoming changes to the Twtxt spec(s)
  • See #xgghhnq

Yarn.social #Meetup

My Position on the last few weeks of Twtxt spec discussions:

• We increase the Hash length from 7 to 11.
• We formalise the Update Commands extension.
• We amend the Twt Hash and Metadata extension to state:

Feed authors that wish to change the location of their feed (once Twts have been published) must append a new # url = comment to their feed to indicate the new location and thus change the "Hashing URI" used for Twts from that point onward.

This has implications of the "order" of a feed, and we should either do one of two things, either:

• Mandate that feeds are append-only.
• Or amend the Metadata spec with a new field that denotes the order of the feed so clients can make sense of "inline" comments in the feed. -- This would also imply that the default order is (of course) append-only. Suggestion: # direction = [append|prepend]

I finally decided to do a few experiments with yarnd to see how many things would break and how many assumptions there are around the idea of "Content Addressing"; here's where I'm at so far:

• What breaks

Basically I'm at a point where spending time on this is going to provide very little value, there are assumptions made in the lextwt parser, assumptions made in yarnd, assumptions in the way storage is done and the way threading works and things are looked up. There are far reaching implications to changing the way Twts are identified here to be "location addressed" that I'm quite worried about the amount of effort would be required to change yarnd here.

Ever wondered what it would cost to self-hosted vs. use the cloud? Well I often doubt myself every time I look at hardware prices, and I know I have to do some hardware refresh soon™ for the Mills DC (something I don't have a regular plan or budget for), here's a rough ball park:

The Mills DC has cost me around ~$15k to build and maintain over the last ~10 years or so. Roughly speaking. I've never actually taken a Bill of Materials or anything, but I could if anyone is interested in more specifics.

The equivalent of resources if run in the "Cloud" would cost around:

• ~$1,000 for virtual machines
• ~$12000 for storage

So around ~$2,000/month to run.

Keep this in mind anytime anyone ever tries to con you into believing "Cloud is cheaper". It's not.

Bahahahaha very clever @lyse I look forward to reading your report ! 🤣 However...

$ yarnc debug https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt | grep -E '^pqst4ea' | tee | wc -l
0

I very quickly proved that Twt was never from me 🤣

And we're back. Sorry about that 😅

👋 Reminder that next Saturday 28th September will be out monthly online meetup! Hope to see some/all of you there 👌

Can I get someone like maybe @xuu or @abucci or even @eldersnake -- If you have some spare time -- to test this yarnd PR that upgrades the Bitcask dependency for its internal database to v2? 🙏

VERY IMPORTANT If you do; Please Please Please backup your yarn.db database first! 😅 Heaven knows I don't want to be responsible for fucking up a production database here or there 🤣

Can someone much smarter than me help me figure out a couple of newly discovered deadlocks in yarnd that I think have always been there, but only recently uncovered by the Go 1.23 compiler.

https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/issues/1175

Speaking of AI tech (sorry!); Just came across this really cool tool built by some engineers at Google™ (currently completely free to use without any signup) called NotebookLM 👌 Looks really good for summarizing and talking to document 📃

An alternate idea for supporting (properly) Twt Edits is to denoate as such and extend the meaning of a Twt Subject (which would need to be called something better?); For example, let's say I produced the following Twt:

2024-09-18T23:08:00+10:00

With a SHA1 encoding the probability of a hash collision becomes, at various k (number of twts):

>>> import math
>>>
>>> def collision_probability(k, bits):
...     n = 2 ** bits  # Total unique hash values based on the number of bits
...     probability = 1 - math.exp(- (k ** 2) / (2 * n))
...     return probability * 100  # Return as percentage
...
>>> # Example usage:
>>> k_values = [100000, 1000000, 10000000]
>>> bits = 44  # Number of bits for the hash
>>>
>>> for k in k_values:
...     print(f"Probability of collision for {k} hashes with {bits} bits: {collision_probability(k, bits):.4f}%")
...
Probability of collision for 100000 hashes with 44 bits: 0.0284%
Probability of collision for 1000000 hashes with 44 bits: 2.8022%
Probability of collision for 10000000 hashes with 44 bits: 94.1701%
>>> bits = 48
>>> for k in k_values:
...     print(f"Probability of collision for {k} hashes with {bits} bits: {collision_probability(k, bits):.4f}%")
...
Probability of collision for 100000 hashes with 48 bits: 0.0018%
Probability of collision for 1000000 hashes with 48 bits: 0.1775%
Probability of collision for 10000000 hashes with 48 bits: 16.2753%
>>> bits = 52
>>> for k in k_values:
...     print(f"Probability of collision for {k} hashes with {bits} bits: {collision_probability(k, bits):.4f}%")
...
Probability of collision for 100000 hashes with 52 bits: 0.0001%

If we adopted this scheme, we could have to increase the no. of characters (first N) from 11 to 12 and finally 13 as we approach globally larger enough Twts across the space. I think at least full crawl/scrape it was around ~500k (maybe)? https://search.twtxt.net/ says only ~99k

Taking the last n characters of a base32 encoded hash instead of the first n can be problematic for several reasons:

1. Hash Structure: Hashes are typically designed so that their outputs have specific statistical properties. The first few characters often have more entropy or variability, meaning they are less likely to have patterns. The last characters may not maintain this randomness, especially if the encoding method has a tendency to produce less varied endings.

2. Collision Resistance: When using hashes, the goal is to minimize the risk of collisions (different inputs producing the same output). By using the first few characters, you leverage the full distribution of the hash. The last characters may not distribute in the same way, potentially increasing the likelihood of collisions.

3. Encoding Characteristics: Base32 encoding has a specific structure and padding that might influence the last characters more than the first. If the data being hashed is similar, the last characters may be more similar across different hashes.

4. Use Cases: In many applications (like generating unique identifiers), the beginning of the hash is often the most informative and varied. Relying on the end might reduce the uniqueness of generated identifiers, especially if a prefix has a specific context or meaning.

In summary, using the first n characters generally preserves the intended randomness and collision resistance of the hash, making it a safer choice in most cases.

Current Twt Hash spec and probability of hash collision:

The probability of a Twt Hash collision depends on the size of the hash and the number of possible values it can take. For the Twt Hash, which uses a Blake2b 256-bit hash, Base32 encoding, and takes the last 7 characters, the space of possible hash values is significantly reduced.

Breakdown:

1. Base32 encoding: Each character in the Base32 encoding represents 5 bits of information (since ( 2^5 = 32 )).
2. 7 characters: With 7 characters, the total number of possible hashes is: [ 32^7 = 3,518,437,208 ] This gives about 3.5 billion possible hash values.

Probability of Collision:

The probability of a hash collision depends on the number of hashes generated and can be estimated using the Birthday Paradox. The paradox tells us that collisions are more likely than expected when hashing a large number of items.

The approximate formula for the probability of at least one collision after generating n hashes is: [ P(\text{collision}) \approx 1 - e^{-\frac{n^2}{2M}} ] Where:

• (n) is the number of generated Twt Hashes.
• (M = 32^7 = 3,518,437,208) is the total number of possible hash values.

For practical purposes, here are some example probabilities for different numbers of hashes (n):

• For 1,000 hashes: [ P(\text{collision}) \approx 1 - e^{-\frac{1000^2}{2 \cdot 3,518,437,208}} \approx 0.00014 \, \text{(0.014%)} ]
• For 10,000 hashes: [ P(\text{collision}) \approx 1 - e^{-\frac{10000^2}{2 \cdot 3,518,437,208}} \approx 0.14 \, \text{(14%)} ]
• For 100,000 hashes: [ P(\text{collision}) \approx 1 - e^{-\frac{100000^2}{2 \cdot 3,518,437,208}} \approx 0.999 \, \text{(99.9%)} ]

Conclusion:

• For small to moderate numbers of hashes (up to around 1,000–10,000), the collision probability is quite low.
• However, as the number of Twts grows (above 100,000), the likelihood of a collision increases significantly due to the relatively small hash space (3.5 billion).

I've been using Codeium too the last week or so ! It's pretty good and like @xuu said is a pretty desent Junior assistant, it helps me write good docs and the tab completion is amazing!

It of course completely sucks at doing anything "intelligent" or complex, but if you just use it as a fancier auto complete it's actually half way decent 👌

One thing that's on my mind over the last few days about all this Twt editing and identity stuff we've been having hot debates over is this...

I don't really have a problem with editing twts, or someone changing their feed's URL.

Personally I think the folks that do are rightfully pedantic and like a good user experience, which I don't blame 'em. I would expect the same too. Anyway, just wanted to get that out there, I believe we can support editing and identity in a way that is still simple, as long as we bring clients along for the ride with us. The old/legacy original client though will have to remain well, ya know 😅

@lyse and @movq and possibly @aelaraji and even @cuaxolotl -- I'm very curious to understand and hear thoughts, pros and cons or other feelings about introducing the notation of a feed's identify using cryptography? If we were to keep things simple, and use what's commonly available, for example SSH ED25519 keys? using the ssh-keygen -Y sign or ssh-keygen -Y verify tools already available? Maybe in combination with @xuu 's idea of generating a random unique ID for your feed, say # id = and signing it with your ED25519 key? 🔑

Summary of WiscKey: Separating Keys from Values in SSD-Conscious Storage

• Authors: Lanyue Lu, Thanumalayan Sankaranarayana Pillai, Andrea C. Arpaci-Dusseau, Remzi H. Arpaci-Dusseau
• Conference: 14th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST '16)
• Key Concept: WiscKey is a key-value store that separates keys from values to minimize I/O amplification, optimizing performance for SSDs.
• Performance: WiscKey outperforms LevelDB and RocksDB in various workloads, achieving up to 111× faster loading and improved random lookup speeds.
• Design Goals: Focus on low write/read amplification, SSD optimization, and support for modern features like range queries.

That's an interesting side effect to the new Discover feature that I added sometime ago that only displays one post per feed. That is when you're not logged in and viewing my pod's front page. You can pretty easily and roughly see what the monthly active view account is just by looking at the pager size. 🤔

Even though we're quite a ways from any suburban areas, even with the Internet access via cell towers this poor, using my pod is still very snappy. 👌

When will the AI hype die down?

Out camping with the family this weekend for my birthday 🥳

@xuu What's the keyoxide thingy you wrote/built? 🤔 What's your URI/profile? 🤔

@cuaxolotl Did you recently change the url metdata key of your feed?

# url = https://sunshinegardens.org/~xj9/twtxt/tw.txt

Was this at one point # url = https://sunshinegardens.org/users/xj9/twtxt/tw.txt?

Spent the day performing backups (hadn't done it in a while 😱) and wrote a full backup definition internal document that defines my backup process, scope, security, frequency, backup locations, capacity and backup and restoration procedures. Very happy with the doc and the updated (now fully documented) plan and scheduled backup frequency (once per month, which I'll put into my calendar as it's done by hand for now, with tools). So far backing up ~410GB out of a possible ~12.8TB worth of data in two locations -- I deliberately don't backup everything as much of the data can be re-created (music, videos, tv shows, etc). #Backups #Data

Introduction to JuiceFS | JuiceFS Document Center -- Thinking about using JuiceFS to solve a long-running problem I've always had.

• Be able to run services on any node in my cluster and let Docker Swarm pick whatever node it likes (instead of now where I have to pin some workloads to specific nodes, as that's where their local storage volume is)
• Manage the scalability of data and growth over time instead of what I do now which is to extend EXT4 filesystems on my Docker Swarm nodes every few years.

Anyone had any intereractions with @cuaxolotl yet? Or are they using a client that doesn't know how to detect clients following them properly? Hmmm 🧐

Uggh it's 33C right now and 60% humidity 🥵

It's a really good time to invest in nVIDIA shares 🤣

@cuaxolotl Hey! 👋

@abucci appreciate it if you find the time to update again 🙏

Time for work™, But I quickly hacked together a bit of a better solution here. Rolling it out to my pod so we'll see how it actually goes. Still possible to abuse if you're a logged in user, etc, but at least now we delete the invalid/bad feed afterwards if it a) was not even a text//plain content-type or b) it errored out and was a new fetch of a HTTP feed.

Wow! My god spammers really try hard song they? 🤣 Geez 🤦‍♂️ Do we need to make the captcha harder? 🙄

I just realized, this is the last Saturday of the month. So Yarn.social meetup is up again tomorrow. Same time as last time if anyone is interested/around to join and hang out!

Does anyone know what the differences between HTTP/1.1 HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are? 🤔

My daughter won her first match!!! 🥳

Whoo @off_grid_living is back! 🥳

Anyone recommend a domain registrar, that's only a domain registrar and nothing else? I'm not interesting in Email Hosting, Web Hosting, Parking, or whatever other silly nonsense. Just domain registration, delegation and renewal.

@falsifian by the way, on the last Saturday of every month, we generally hold a online video call/social meet up, where we just get together and talk about stuff if, you're interested in joining us this month.

@falsifian You need an Avatar 😅

Found out today, that the registrar that I use Only Domains's AU front door is DOWN. That is https://onlydomains.com.au

OTS works Soo great! 👌 Juat got my mother to use it to share some creds so I could take over her web hosting needs 🤣

Okay. The house is properly cleaned up. There are 77 users on this pod, 34 inactive and 12 active. That's a good effort I think. Maybe some of those folks that haven't been around for a while, but were pretty decent folks to talk to and interact with may come back. For example @off_grid_living 😅

@bender / @mckinley could you both please change your password immediately? I will also work on some other security hardening that I have a hunch about, but will not publicize for now.

👋 At some point over the next day or two I will be deleting the following feeds/accounts:

Hmmm I'm a little concerned, as I'm seeing quite a few feeds I follow in an error state:

I'm not so concerned with the 15x context deadline exceeded but more concerned with:

Hmmm, maybe the stats are a bit off? 🤔

Bit tired myself folks. It's 00:00 here and I'm going to bed 🛌

Cool! Our park has disappeared again this morning! 😱 Also it was cold outside! 🥶

Oh I forgot again 🤦‍♂️ Last Saturday of the month, so if anyone's up for a friendly catch up over video tomorrow? Same time, same place 👌

Hmmm something happened last night at ~3am (AEST) that decrased traffic to my pod quite considerably... Hmmm? Anyone have any ideas? 💡

Anyway, I'm gonna have to go to bed... We'll continue this on the weekend. Still trying to hunt down some kind of suspected mult-GB avatar using @stigatle 's pod's cache:

But so far nothing much... Still running the search...

@abucci / @abucci Any interesting errors pop up in the server logs since the the flaw got fixed (unbounded receieveFile())? 🤔

Hmmm 🧐

for url in $(jq -r '.Twters[].avatar' cache.json | sed '/^$/d' | grep -v -E '(twtxt.net|anthony.buc.ci|yarn.stigatle.no|yarn.mills.io)' | sort -u); do echo "$url $(curl -I -s -o /dev/null -w '%header{content-length}' "$url")"; done
...

😅 Let's see... 🤔

@stigatle / @abucci My current working theory is that there is an asshole out there that has a feed that both your pods are fetching with a multi-GB avatar URL advertised in their feed's preamble (metadata). I'd love for you both to review this PR, and once merged, re-roll your pods and dump your respective caches and share with me using https://gist.mills.io/

Hmm remove the cpu limits on this pod, not even sure why I had 'em set tbh, we decided at my day job that setting cpu limits on containers is a bit of a silly idea too. Anyway, pod should be much snappier now 😅

Thinking we need to adapt the UI a little bit to something like #json=2981299105862240,OhjMMMyAL5_oBREM3QAF5Q">this

I had a play with LiveKit Agents Playground: KITT and I have to say it's pretty impressive. Not the ChatGPT part of course, but the speech recognition and text to speech synthesis.

KITT is an AI voice assistant powered by LiveKit Agents, Deepgram, Eleven Labs, and ChatGPT. It is running on LiveKit Playground.

It's too bad it relies on three cloud services, none of which can be run locally (with the exception of Ollama that you could replace the OpenAI component with).

@xuu Your pod is behaving much better now right? Any other issues aside from the Edit problem? 🤔

@xuu I have a theory as to why your pod was misbehaving too. I think because of the way you were building it docker build without any --build-arg VERSION= or --build-arg COMMIT= there was no version information in the built binary and bundled assets. Therefore cache busting would not work as expected. When introducing htmx and hyperscript to create a UI/UX SPA-like experience, this is when things fell apart a bit for you. I think....

There's a new interesting regression in yarnd that's cropped up that results in a " /> at the end of uploaded/links images. I'm not able to figure this bug out yet 😢

@abucci Oh hey! 👋

Whoohoo! My HTMX mugs arrived!

I've been thinking about a new term I've come across whilst reading a book. It's called "Complexity Budget" and I think it has relevant in lots of difficult fields. I specifically think it has a lot of relevant in the Software Industry and organizations in this field. When doing further research on this concept, I was only able find talks on complexity budget in the context of medical care, especially phychiratistic care. In this talk it was describe as, complexity:

• Complexity is confusing
• Complexity is costly
• Complexity kills

When we think of "complexity" in terms of software and software development, we have a sort-of intuitive about this right? We know when software has become too complex. We know when an organization has grown in complexity, or even a system. So we have a good intuition of the concept already.

My question to y'all is; how can we concretely think about "Complexity Budget" and define it in terms that can be leveraged and used to control the complexity of software dns ystems?

Hey @thiegui 👋 Welcome back! 🤗

I just blocked the following ASN(s) from being able to hit twtxt.net or mills.io:

16509 - AMAZON-02
32934 - FACEBOOK

Why? Because the Claude Bot web crawler from facebookexternalhit and Meta's facebookexternalhit web crawler are both behaving badly for pages that have no cache headers. Not sure if this is malicious, an oversight, a bug or me just being stupid and not ensuring every web resource or page had appropriate Cache headers? 🤔 In any case, until I hear back from at least facebookexternalhit (whom I've reached out to), these ASN(s) will remain entirely blocked.

That is the entirety of Amazon Web Services and Facebook.

Anyone know much about MobileCoin?

Can anyone recommend and/or vouch for a Chrome/browser extension that lets me write rewrite rules for arbitrary links on a page? e.g: s/(www\.)?youtube.com\/watch?v=([^?]+)/tubeproxy.mills.io/play/\1 for example? 🤔

Another day, another web app built 😅 This time tubeproxy, which still needs some tidying up project-wise (bugger all docs, setup guide, etc), but so far it works quite nicely. If you're curious, you're welcome to try it out at https://tubeproxy.mills.io -- Although technically this meant for internal use (as I block Youtube at the network on purpose).

Additional features I'm thinking about next:

• Add to Plex (on-demand download, tag and update of the Plex archives)
• Subscribe (added to my ytdl-sub that subscribes to Youtube channels and stores nicely in Plex)

• FY2022: NPAT (Net Profit After Tax): -4.6% $1.8B
• FY2023: NPAT (Net Profit After Tax): +13.1% $2.1B
• FY2024: NPAT (Net Profit After Tax): +11.4% $1B

Not sure how this year's results had a +11.4% increase, but only $1B in profits.

I recently learned that our Australian Liberal National Party, spent 10's of thousands of dollars on a campaign involving flyers posted around the suburbs (localities) of our local Greens federal member, Elizabeth Watson Brown. Not only was the material produced by the LNP party, distributed and paid for by the LNP party, full of lies, but they had the audacity to make the "flyers" appear as though they were from the Greens themselves! 🤦‍♂️ wtf?! #Politics #Sucks

I can't believe I've been writing Go code for over 8 years already 😮

Just added support for deleting and editing arbitrary Twt(s) at anypoint in your timeline. Some things to note:

• I'm not really that happy with the code between PostHandler() and DeleteTwtHandler() anymore 😢 It really needs some major refactoring, and better tests.
• This only works for users (for now), no support for Persona(s) / Feeds sorry.

One side-effect I've noticed (which was always the case); an Edited Twt whilst preserves the original timestamp, gets appended to your feed at the bottom of the file. This is counter intuitive when you think about editing text files with a text editor, but it does make sense in the way yarnd treats feeds as append-only (I had just forgotten). I'm not doing anything about this though.
