Iām playing with ratterplatter again: Itās a toy that watches disk I/O and emulates the noise of a real hard disk. (Linux only.) It uses sound samples from one of my older disks.
I tried a different approach at estimating the disk activity and I think I finally got it right (after almost 10 years ā¦ š¤¦).
The results arenāt too bad, but this thing canāt be super accurate due to the huge I/O caches that we have these days. For the video, I dropped the caches before booting Windows, otherwise you would have heard almost nothing.
(#cs6lodq) @prologic@twtxt.net I only buy stuff like that, for example games on GOG.COM. Or simply CDs or DVDs. (Rarely I ābuyā a movie on some popular streaming service, fully aware that this is just ārenting itā.)
(#3xkskda) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Aww, this reminds me that I havenāt done any Fraktur/calligraphy in a hell of a long time. I should pick that up again. Itās always nice to see this on old buildings.
(#2uni6ta) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, to be fair, thereās not much of a difference other than a few grace notes (and just lower frequencies). I was mostly just fooling around with this one. š„“
(#kqegfua) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org This is so crazy to me. When I think āforestā, I assume āuntouched natureā, but that couldnāt be further from the truth. š«¤
(#cs6lodq) @andros@twtxt.andros.dev Thatās a shame. But hereās the thing about piracy. If I could download a PDF or MP3/OGG of a Book Iād happily pay for this. If I could download an MP3/OGG of some Music I would pay for this. If I could download an MP4 of a Movie I would pay for this.
The reason piracy exists at all is economics and greed. If you make something affordable and convenient, thereās no need to steal.
(#coik47a) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz They all just wanted to be friends with a cool gal like you. ;-) Itās sad that putting things openly on the internet just waits to be raided by script kiddies, bots or spammers eventually.
š Folks that use this pod, Iāll be rolling out an experimental new caching backend to this pod shortly. Stay tuned. Please provide feedback either here via Twtxt or on IRC. Thanks! š
(#hv7xxjq) There are however a few implications to note:
It will be possibly to page through much larger quantities of twts per feed, this is potentially unlimited (depends on disk space)
Automated Feeds (bots) like @tiktok@feeds.twtxt.net will now behave/display very differently. You will see all itās historical Twts, whereas before youād only see the one because the MemoryCacheās behavior was to āreplaceā Twts.
Iām hoping everything else remains the same and true to what weāve collectively built and to spec. Replies work, Forks work, various views, filters and so on still work. Iām developing this new cache in a way that uses a ādelegateā pattern and a double read / double write with metrics so I can over time see that none of the āold cacheā is used anymore.
(#gyneajq) Registry format is its own thing. It takes the regular feed and appends nick \t uri \t to it. Its something that existed before yarn got big. There is still a bit of work but I will put together a ui for it to make it easier to view and navigate.
(#w4mnpkq) @xuu@txt.sour.is Actuallyā¦ Iām working on a new Sqlite backend/cache for yarnd š¤£ I might revive yarns (the crawler / search engine) one day š¤
$ bat 'https://twtxt.net/twt/lnrgahq' | jq '.text'
"(#4xaabhq) thanks @prologic!
@bender the idea of the RFC was to reach an agreement on a difficult problem, receiving proposals, and the voting is a simple count to gauge the sentiment of \"is this a problem worth to be fixed?, are we committed to implement a change in our clients?\"
But that's a fair point. What do the community expect? What do y'all expect?"
(#gyneajq) @eapl.me@eapl.me I am currently working on Implementing a registry that is also a crawler. It finds any feeds that are mentioned or in the follows header.
I wonder if I can do away with the followers follows mutes tables and expect the client to actually filter Twts appropriately before Display? This would simplify the SqliteCache considerably and also mean it would be agnostic of single-user or multi-user as thatās delegated to another layer. Hmmm š§
