yarnd setup
look like to anyone? 🤔 Let's say it exists, and it helps you setup a Yarn pod in seconds. What does it do? Of course I'd have to split out yarnd
itself into yarnd run
to actually run the server/daemon part.
Thanks@movq @mckinley@twtxt.net This is great feedback! I’ll tidy up a few things today! If there’s anything else not super clear ot obvious, please let me know. Maybe you too @bender@twtxt.net if you can remember 😅 – Yes yes I know there’s still some issues you have with the cache behavior, etc (on the roadmap).
@mckinley@twtxt.net I have actually. He/I occasionally have a chat on Signal. Unfortunately I tried the whole Twtxt<->AP thing in yarnd
but I’ve given up on the idea for now. I will one day write a dedicated service however, as I think that’s the only reasonable way to do integrate Twtxt and ActivityPub realistically.
@mckinley@twtxt.net Thanks. This is good feedback! I think from what @movq@www.uninformativ.de also said, I might just spend today tidying things up a bit that might be a bit off.
Speaking of which @prologic, have you heard from @ocdtrekkie lately? He’s active on mastodon but I haven’t seen him around here in a long time.

@prologic I agree with @movq@www.uninformativ.de. Good documentation is better than an interactive setup process. My difficulties (#isyb2aq) were because I was just doing it for testing and I wanted it running as quickly as possible. If I was running it in a production capacity, I would read through the documentation.
If you’re trying to make non-technical people set up their own Yarn pod, that’s probably (unfortunately) impossible. Management software like Sandstorm make it “as easy as installing apps on your phone” (direct quote from sandstorm.org) and most people still pay Google to store their photos.
I remember you were trying to do paid hosting for Yarn pods in the past. That could work, but as I’m sure you know it’s difficult to convince people to use this over X or Facebook, let alone host their own pod. I think it’s going to stay a small community of fairly technical people for the foreseeable future.

@prologic I just set up a Yarn instance from scratch and, honestly, I don’t think a yarnd setup
is needed. 🤔
I followed the instructions here and they were simple enough: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/branch/main/README.md#configuring-your-pod
It needs a little polishing (for example, it says COOKIE_SECRET
is optional which it isn’t), but it was a good experience overall.
Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer reading installation instructions. And I believe that not having something like yarnd setup
nudges you (the author) into keeping those instructions short and concise. Whereas the existence of yarnd setup
means that you can cram everything and the kitchen sink in there, because it’s convenient. That can lead to a convoluted setup process – and me, the user, does not really know what that command really does, which is something that I, personally, don’t like. 😅

I wonder what Android does now that I’ve blocked all those connections. Will it queue all the data and just send it the next time it has an internet connection (which will happen sooner or later)? That would mean my blocking attempts are mostly pointless. 🥴
No way of telling what’s going on, it’s all encrypted …
@prologic Get fucked, indeed. 🫤
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeap! I totally get it 🤣 It’s the same as some macOS stuff that I found that “proxies” egress connections on behalf of other apps. I’m like wtf?! Get fucked 😅
things we don’t even know about or have any control over (or very little)
That’s the thing: It’s not apps doing weird stuff, it’s the phone’s operating system itself. I can choose which apps to run and which permissions they have, that’s all fine, but what the fuck is “ImsApp” and why does it need access to GPS and my camera?! Completely untrustworthy.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah it’s frightening how much our “devices” talk to “things”, things we don’t even know about or have any control over (or very little) 😳 I’ve been doing this for my personal Mac with Little Snitch, and I’ve blocked so much shit™ directly from my Mac. Quite happy with that. Not I just have to figure out how to do similar things for my iPhone 📱
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve never thought about it to be honest 🤣 Other things take longer so I don’t really care about shell startup times 😅
Good Morning 🎧🎵 Lawrence - Grazing Light https://www.last.fm/music/Lawrence/_/Grazing+Light
Experiment: Locking down my Android phone in the firewall, only allowing outgoing connections that I approve of. Let’s see how that goes.
Even just looking at the log of attempted connections is scary. This thing is talking to everything all the time. Worse, there are some system apps that regularly query the device’s GPS location and you can’t turn that off … Shitty spy device. 🙄
@prologic Noticed any slowdowns? I noticed a ~0.2 second delay when opening new shells, never bothered to check it, and now found out that it’s caused by the ~250k lines of shell history. 🥴
wc -l .zsh_history
gives me 7100. That's surprisingly a bit more than I thought. I used to regularly clear new stuff by hand and keep important commands to about twenty-something. I don't recall the numbers anymore.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You mean you edit this file manually sometimes? 🤔
“There is a right to protest, but there is not a right to cause chaos.” I have heard very similar statements from the leaders of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in 1989
mentions:prologic@twtxt.net
for example. I hope this makes the useability much better 👌
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh you said “version” Hmmm 🤔 Yeah I’m missing something in the Docker piblish workflows 🤔
Home - man.sr.ht The way this app is descriebd and works sounds a lot like what we built with “threading” here 😅
