(#tbdkceq) @yarn_police@twtxt.net Hold on a minute, txt.sour.is is out of your jurisdiction!

(#gqqqwca) @darch@neotxt.dk @prologic@twtxt.net I was going to suggest having a variable time based on the availability of those who intend to go. That could definitely work, it just seems pretty formal. @darch@neotxt.dk, what do you mean “doodle”?

(#wboprya) @yarn_police@twtxt.net This is more like a homeowners’ association than a police department.

(#nekd5sq) > Is TikTok influenced by the Chinese Communist Party?

There is no evidence that TikTok is influenced by the Chinese Communist Party. TikTok is a social media platform that is popular with users in China, but it is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance.

BS! At least it didn’t try to parrot the ByteDance deflection line “TikTok isn’t even available in China” which is false because TikTok is available in China, they just call it Douyin instead.

(#moqdvoq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It looks the AttachWarner plugin does just that. I’m going to enable it myself. Sounds handy.

(#nekd5sq)

What computer does Richard Stallman use?

Richard Stallman uses a laptop with the GNU/Linux operating system.

Close enough.

(#nekd5sq) @prologic@twtxt.net Thanks, man. Sorry I missed it before.

Why is Facebook so successful?

There are many reasons for Facebook’s success, but one of the main reasons is that it is a platform that allows users to connect with friends and family members easily. Facebook also allows users to share photos, videos, and other content easily.

(#kglknja) @adi@twtxt.net Hey, it’s good to see you. How are things?

(#moqdvoq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Would Claws Mail fit your needs? It’s been my mail client of choice since I switched from Thunderbird.

Another great chat this week with @prologic@twtxt.net. Some things we talked about:

• Porting Syslinux to Go for GoNix
  
• My shell script that generates an HTML time zone conversion table using information from a simple CSV file
  
• The ubiquity of seq despite not being part of POSIX
  
• Spam prevention on Yarn pods
  
• Subreply, another alternative microblogging service

(#qmlkmia) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wow, that’s really cool. Is that an A340?

(#gqqqwca) @prologic@twtxt.net I’ll definitely be there. Same bat-time, same bat-Jitsi-room?

(#gqqqwca) Are we doing the meeting this week? I think we’re all individually being too flexible and so we can’t come up with a time.

(Paging @prologic@twtxt.net because nobody wants to come to the meeting if he isn’t there)

(#godwcaa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I used to be intimidated by FFmpeg, but since I’ve been digging deeper into the options I’m having a lot of fun.

(#wf37oda) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci I’ve never tried Caddy. Nginx does what I need it to do, most of the time. I also use darkhttpd for testing.

(#srqw5qq) @prologic@twtxt.net Yes, that’s him. It’s the 4th anniversary of his death.

(#bqxlviq) We’ve barreled past the microblog line and flew straight over the e-mail chain line. This is just social blogging.

(#godwcaa) @prologic@twtxt.net There isn’t a whole lot I could do with those, besides trying to beat your server’s transcodes in visual quality for the size. It wouldn’t be much of an accomplishment, anyway, because I’m sure you don’t want your server’s CPU tied up for 20 minutes every upload.

I could always use practice optimizing for quality given a set of restraints but I would like a bigger project that requires combining a bunch of options and filters.

This is a weird request, but does anyone have something for me to encode with FFmpeg? The more complicated the project, the better. I am trying to improve my skills and I learn best with real-world use.

(#wf37oda) @prologic@twtxt.net

a self-hosted static file serving app which does nothing more than just serve up static files with a configured root path

Don’t you mean “a web server”? :)

(#xd2alqa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I think audio compression techniques have come further than production. This sounds pretty darn good for 128kbps.

(#bqxlviq) @prologic@twtxt.net Don’t let yourself get beaten down, man.

(#4xxgkfq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org A week was only a few kilobytes of logs for me, so I just used grep and a text editor. @adi@twtxt.net wrote a suite of command line tools for analyzing different web server log formats if you’re interested: fl, cl, and cbl

(#gqqqwca) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci Thanks! I just changed “Germany” to “Central Europe” and fixed the UK’s time zone.

(#gqqqwca) > Also, check out the hash of the parent twt. Quads!

Never mind, I just realized it’s gqqq, not qqqq

(#gqqqwca) @prologic@twtxt.net Midnight for you is okay? Maybe if I got up that early on Saturday for the meeting I would actually go find some garage sales like I always mean to do.

Also, check out the hash of the parent twt. Quads!

(#gqqqwca) @prologic@twtxt.net @abucci@anthony.buc.ci I also meant 04:00 UTC. I threw together a shell script that generates HTML time zone tables. https://mckinley.cc/time.html

Am I missing any time zones of video call regulars? Is 07:00:00-23:00:00 a reasonable window?

(#jf2zkia) And of course there’s a user named \@s.

(#jf2zkia) That’s weird. I put the twtxt.net domain on the second mention of @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no and yarnd changed it (correctly) to yarn.stigatle.no. I edited the message and escaped the @s@twtxt.net.

(#jf2zkia) @movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net The account is actually @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no. Perhaps there was an \@stigatle\@twtxt.net at one point and the yarnd auto-expand is confused. I always add the correct domain to my posts to avoid this.

(#gqqqwca) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci @prologic@twtxt.net I would be fine bumping it back an hour, but 6 am is a bit early for our German friends.

(#4xxgkfq) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci Yeah, that sounds about right. I turned on access logging for a week about a year ago. I never did the math, but it was pretty much just me and a collection of robots.

Compiling LLVM. It just doesn’t end.

(#gqqqwca) @ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net There’s the global feed at /atom.xml, but there’s also one per-user at /user/name/atom.xml

Great meeting after a two week break with @prologic@twtxt.net, @ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net, and retrocrash who has (hopefully temporarily) disappeared from Yarnspace. A small sampling of what we talked about:

• “Easy self-hosting” platforms and why most of them are terrible
  
• @prologic@twtxt.net opening up GoNix
  
• RSS in 2022
  
• Sending an SMS message over e-mail
  
• Swap space
  
• TempleOS
