Farrrk me Google search is and these days. Will they please "fuck off" with this Gemini AI garbage at the top that takes forever and is distracting as shit™ 💩 Fark me 🤦‍♂️ #Google #Search #Sucks #AI #Gemini

Finally I propose that we increase the Twt Hash length from 7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (oops) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update

And speaking of Twtxt (See: #xushlda, feeds should be treated as append-only. Your client(s) should be appending Twts to the bottom of the file. Edits should never modify the timestamp of the Twt being edited, nor should a Twt that was edited by deleted, unless you actually intended to delete it (but that's more complicated as it's very hard to control or tell clients what to do in a truely decentralised ecosystem for the deletion case). #Twtxt #Client #Recommendations

Just like we don't write emails by hand anymore (See: #a3adoka), we don’t manually write Twts or update our twtxt.txt feeds. Instead, we use modern Twtxt clients that conform to the specifications at Twtxt.dev for a seamless, automated experience. #Twtxt #Twt #UserExperience

Nobody writes emails by hand using RFC 5322 anymore, nor do we manually send them through telnet and SMTP commands. The days of crafting emails in raw format and dialing into servers are long gone. Modern email clients and services handle it all seamlessly in the background, making email easier than ever to send and receive—without needing to understand the protocols or formats behind it! #Email #SMTP #RFC #Automation

First draft of yarnd 0.16 release notes. 📝 -- Probably needs some tweaking and fixing, but it's sounding alright so far 👌 #yarnd

Regex Isn't Hard - Tim Kellogg 👈 this is a pretty good conscience article on regexes, and I agree, regex isn't that hard™ -- However I think I can make the TL;DR even shorter 😅

Regex core subset (portable across languages):

Character sets • a matches “a” • [a-z] any lowercase • [a-zA-Z0-9] alphanumeric • [^ab] any char but a or b

Repetition (applies to the preceding atom) • ? zero or one • * zero or more • + one or more

Groups • (ab)+ matches “ab”, “abab”, … • Capture for extract/substitute via $1 or \1

Operators • foo|bar = foo or bar • ^ start anchor • $ end anchor

Ignore non‑portable shortcuts: \w, ., {n}, *?, lookarounds.

Hmmm there's a bug somewhere in the way I'm ingesting archived feeds 🤔

sqlite> select * from twts where content like 'The web is such garbage these days%';
      hash = 37sjhla
  feed_url = https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt/1
   content = The web is such garbage these days 😔 Or is it the garbage search engines? 🤔
   created = 2024-11-14T01:53:46Z
created_dt = 2024-11-14 01:53:46
   subject = <a href="?search=37sjhla" class="tag">#37sjhla</a>
  mentions = []
      tags = []
     links = []
sqlite>

Dam the search here is sooo good now 😅

Search syntax appears to be:

hello
"hello world"
hello AND world
hello OR world
hello NOT world
"this is a phrase"
