I did not forget twtxt… it’s just that I was always sick the last months, nothing serious but enough to take all my free time.
You can find the #twtxt-el channel in Libera IRC to talk about the twtxt.el client, I will keep my connection open so you can ask me questions. Thank you!
Ich fahre gleich zwei Stunden mit dem Zug durch das sonnige Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, um morgen PÜNKTLICH 🐓 mit den Schwiegereltern zur Familienfeier nach Thüringen aufbrechen zu können.
Ein Wochenende auf Achse wird das. 🚞🚐😞
Hi everyone,
I’ve drafted a Request for Comments (RFC) to improve how threads work in twtxt:
https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/issues/18
I’d love your feedback! Please share your thoughts on anything that could be better explained, check if the proposed dates work for everyone, and I invite you to join the discussion…
@eapl.me@eapl.me There are several points that I like, but I want to highlight number 7. https://text.eapl.mx/a-few-ideas-for-a-next-twtxt-version #twtxt
Blender-Rendered Movie ‘Flow’ Wins Oscar for Best Animated Feature, Beating Pixar
It’s a feature-length film “rendered on a free and open-source software platform called Blender,” reports Reuters. And it just won the Oscar for best animated feature film, beating movies from major studios like Disney/Pixar and Dreamworks.
In January Blender.org called Flow “the manifestation of Blender’s mission, … ⌘ Read more
Hey everyone!
About the idea of improving the “thread” extension, what if we set aside March 2025 to gather proposals and thoughts from everyone? We could then vote on them at the end of the month to see if the change and migration are worth it.
The voting could include client maintainers (and maybe even users too). That way, we get a good mix of perspectives before taking a decision in a decent timelapse.
What do you think? If this sounds good, we can start agreeing on this. Let me know your thoughts!
Sitting in urgent care for two hours… Doesn’t seem too urgent :-)
Question to the twtxt veterans, are we experiencing an explosion of clients or is this a regular occurrence?
I have the feeling, that I have come to a dead end with my first version of the TwtxtReader. That’s why I’m stopping the project and starting again.
But of course, everyone is welcome to take a look at https://github.com/upputter/TwtxtReaderMK1
This is a joke product, right? It’s almost €100 for a box cutter…
This is cool but I miss easier interaction O:)

This document is the result of a series of discussions between Robert “Uncle Bob” Martin and John Ousterhout, held between September 2024 and February 2025. The text addresses three main topics: method length, comments, and Test Driven Development (TDD).

This is something to read and reflect on for days.
I read a lot about Clean Code, SOLID, TDD, DDD… now I’m discovering «A Philosophy of Software Design»… but nobody talks about the importance of the project architecture. Do we depend on the framework to do the work for us?
You know I’m a big fan of Clean Architecture, but I feel alone when I share my thoughts on social media or at work.
You have to think outside the framework.
My brain shuts off as soon as and every time it smells the shitGPT in somebody’s response and drops the whole conversation.

I am going to start using this one more, or exclusively, from now on. I need to get used to it, as “quark” will be gone, and “bender”, well, he is kind of tired of getting bent. :-D
I spent this Monday afternoon back from work, drawing myself as the “you made it to Friday sailors” dog. Totally unrelated to the 3 hours wasted on meetings, pretending to discuss great suggestions from high management, nobody else wants to implement.

@prologic@twtxt.net Looks great with the new logo.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Next release will convert markdown to org syntax if you have Pandoc command installed 😎. Mentions are org links, for example.
Heute waren das Ziehkind und ich zwei Stunden lang auf drei Spielplätzen und quer durch die Stadt unterwegs. Ein riesiger Spaß!
Vorab habe ich im hiesigen Spielzeugladen ein Konvolut von Klemmbausteinen erstanden, welche wohl zu einer Polizeistation gehörten!?

I really like the concept of “twt”. It’s the perfect blend of txt and twtxt. An abbreviated form. Even though it’s the name given to posts, I personally find it very nice.
#twtxt
Okay, I won’t park there.
I thought hCaptcha was getting off the rails. Try making an X account using a VPN service!
oh cool @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org !! and thanks, got rid of that empty line. ATM I’m using twtxt very much in an experimental way, only manual editing or writing my tools. curious to see how it will evolve. #meta #twtxt
hey @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’ve seen your mention from uhhmmm 4months ago just now using my crawler -__-’ / curious to know, do you see my mention now? #meta #twtxt
I’m in an article in Quanta Magazine! It’s about the bizarre world of algorithms that re-use memory that’s already full. https://www.quantamagazine.org/catalytic-computing-taps-the-full-power-of-a-full-hard-drive-20250218/ I’m the one with all the snow in the background.

I couldn’t resist taking home a prize:
It’s been snowy here in #Toronto.
(I tried formatting the images in markdown for the benefit of yarn and any other clients that understand it.)
Something interesting to think about for twtxt, the microblogging for hackers and friends…
The biggest challenge of ActivityPub is that it’s too technical to easily explain to regular people. Nobody is interested in a jargon-laden diatribe about servers and federation. When simple questions have overly complex answers, people tend to switch off.

You have a microwave oven at home, right?
You can type 3 and 0 for 30 seconds, 100 for a minute (shown as 1:00), or 200 for two minutes (2:00).
What would happen if you type 777 and Start?
A) Nothing
B) Self-destruction
C) Will run for 7 minutes and 77 seconds (boring!)
What about 7777 ?
Have you ever had to refactor a project that was not documented? Any suggestions?

i have placed some middleware to reject these for now but it is not a full proof solution.
When I woke up today we had already disconnected from the Russian power grid. I checked the uptime of my servers: no reboots, no outages. Not that I was very worried. You can have a nice live view at cross border electricity flow here: https://dashboard.elering.ee/en We’ll connect to the rest of continental Europe on Sunday.
I’m realizing that my performance bottleneck is @prologic@twtxt.net ! It is actually calculating the hash to make the replicas, and specifically users with very long feeds 😂 . I’m seriously thinking about enabling replies via configuration.
I have infinite scroll now! I can finally focus on replies and mentions 😋
Der Wahl-O-Mat zur Bundestagswahl 2025 ist da!
I have a paper deadline coming up, so will everyone please stop writing twts for the next 48 hours, thanks.
Thanks for your replies to my ‘Hello World’. Seems I can post but not reply myself. Using jenny, who isn’t as gentle as the name suggests ;-) I’ll figure it out.
