The Fediverse Is Getting Its Own TikTok Competitor Called Loops
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Similar to how Mastodon offers an open source, distributed version of X, the fediverse is getting its own TikTok competitor. This week, an app called Loops began accepting signups on its new platform for sharing short, looping videos. Still in the early stages, Loops is not yet open sourced, nor … ⌘ Read more

What are peoples #IRC setup? Do you have your own bouncer server or just have a you computer always on? And do you IRC on mobile?

🤣 Indeed. It’s like using disallow is only pointing them to look for more stuff to index. Those few kB’s for a twtxt file, meh.. shouldnt even be a discussion.

Feeling suspicious about a little something and I, don’t like it -the feeling- a bit. Maybe I’m just being paranoid… but most probably I’m just being an ignorant judgemental piece of shit and I hate myself for it already.

IMHO, the original spec had it right when it said (paraphrased) “just upload your tw.txt file wherever”. The essence of micro-blogging, as opposed to full-scale blogging, is low friction and low stakes. Imposing a norm that you can’t just use any ol’ url, looking down on people with insufficently cool urls (as in “Cool URIs don’t change” https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI), puts up too much of a barrier to entry.

Recent #scifi #reading: (¼)

the test would be: how often does unwanted content get pushed on your feed? do incongruent posters easily disrupt harmonious connections? &c. less about the community, more about how the social dynamics play out as various groups and individuals interact.

Hope you all enjoy the weekend!

There. Re-enabled the old subdomain url (twtxt.prismdragon.net), and just pointed it to the file in my twtxt file’s url field. Either should work, so links won’t be broken.

Rebuilding my twtxt file after deciding to return, and trying to get back into working on my fork of txtnix as a reason to continue learning Perl again.

What if i want to delete avatar? Im deleted avatar meta field but still see avatar on twtxt.net

Simplified twtxt - I want to suggest some dogmas or commandments for twtxt, from where we can work our way back to how to implement different feature like replies/treads:

1. It’s a text file, so you must be able to write it by hand (ie. no app logic) and read by eye. If you edit a post you change the content not the timestamp. Otherwise it will be considered a new post.

2. The order of lines in a twtxt.txt must not hold any significant. The file is a container and each line an atomic piece of information. You should be able to run sort on a twtxt.txt and it should still work.

3. Transport protocol should not matter, as long as the file served is the same. Http and https are preferred, so it is suggested that feed served via Gopher or Gemini also provide http(s).

4. Do we need more commandments?

@prologic@twtxt.net Why does twtxt.net still show my old avatar?

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl Welcome to the twt’verse 👋

THE LAST HUMAN POST ON THIS FEED IS MORE THAN FOUR YEARS OLD. PERHAPS TWTXT CLIENTS SHOULD THEN FETCH THE FEED VERY RARELY.

Encrypted Chat App ‘Session’ Leaves Australia After Visit From Police
Session, a small but increasingly popular encrypted messaging app, is moving its operations outside of Australia after the country’s federal law enforcement agency visited an employee’s residence and asked them questions about the app and a particular user. 404 Media reports: Now Session will be maintained by an entity in Switzerland.

@prologic@twtxt.net With respect, a client can not identify whether an edit took place. Not unless that same client witnessed both the original twt and the edited one. This won’t be the case if a person you’re following is joining a thread started by people you aren’t following after the first twt of that thread has already been modified. Or if you’re knocked offline by a multi-hour power outage that spans then entire time window between a twt getting uploaded and modified.

It’s pretty hard to follow though, with the discussion being spread out over so many threads and with the https://search.twtxt.net UI displaying threads in a way that’s different than how https://twtxt.net does.

I finally figured out that https://search.twtxt.net is not the same as https://twtxt.net/search. The former is open to the general public, unlike the latter which is only for registered users of twtxt.net. Meaning that I finally have some kind of access to an archive of the aforementioned debate.

performed a small, screen-based update to jarotsim, for it to run better in smaller and bigger screens | https://compudanzas.net/jarotsim.html

I’m not even supposed to do be doing any of this, I should be making stuff* with Shapes, forms and color instead of poking at software with a stick like a caveman. 😆

*Stuff: Things I make and refuse to call Art, unless I have to in a resume and what not.

So, uh, did anyone but me notice that the last character of a twt hash is always either an a or a q? Which is the natural consequence of taking the last digit in the base32 representation of a 256-bit hash – 256 is not evenly divisible by 5 ! That final character is made up of one bit of actual information and 4 bits of padding.

Yeah I know! My ship was sinking and I’ve just noticed. Patched up the holes and now we’re back afloat.

Probably going to stick to my original plan, which is to implement everything I need by hand. Becaus to me part of the appeal of twtxt is that it’s simple enough for it to be feasible to roll your own implementation.

I’m not using anything that you would recognize as a full-featured client. I upload twts with hut publish, “publicise my user agent” with manual curl invocations (when I remember to) (thanks to @movq@www.uninformativ.de for the informative guide https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt-mention.html), and as for following other people’s feeds, I still haven’t decided how I’m going to do that.

@prologic@twtxt.net Actually, my twts from the last two days aren’t showing up on , so I guess that no-one is following me and the reason my earlier twts did show up is that yarnd does a one-off fetch of any feed @-mentioned by a pod member. Comments in the code suggest that this is the case, see internal/server.go, commit 7dcec70e, line 468. As the author of that code, can you confirm/deny?

@prologic@twtxt.net :waves: So it seems! I must admit that it surprised me. I did not expect to have anyone following me quite this early. But it’s the nice kind of surprise :)

Say no to cordless peripherals! Real mice have tails! (I just like not having to charge and/or swap out batteries all the time)

FINALLY!! I figured my way around daemonizing #saltyd with an rc.d init script with logs and all! 🥳 still have to try a tiny modification before writing that thing… I hope it doesn’t Bork it 😅
