@bender@twtxt.net what’s the url of yours? Is it public?

Meta Removed 2 Million Accounts Linked to Organized Crime ‘Pig Butching’ Scams
An anonymous reader shared this report from CNET:

Meta says it’s taken down more than 2 million accounts this year linked to overseas criminal gangs behind scam operations that human rights activists say forced hundreds of thousands of people to work as scammers and cost victims worldwide billions of dollars.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just seen that one as well as MicroBin on selfh.st , it looks prettier on your instance than it did on their live demo 😆. But I’ve already started playing around with microBin and will see how things go from there.

I guess I should setup some kind of past-bin or something, I bet somebody’s already angry about them last couple of long twts 😅 Sorry, not sorry! but I’ll try to fix that.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt No it’s all good… I’ve just rebuilt it from master and it doesn’t look like anything is broken:

@bender@twtxt.net Gave it a try on Termux same thing @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt uses and it worked 👍

Working on my digital garden, using Obsidian

@bender@twtxt.net I built my own, a much smaller one with a multi stage build… shouldn’t that do the trick? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net here… Enjoy 🦊🧡 😂

@bender@twtxt.net highly probably, unless I learn go and implement it myself (or someone else more capable does) … but I’m so lazy I’d just copy them from twtxt.net and call it a day xD and yeah, it’s kinda rough the way things are…

• I don’t see a way to follow others, all I can do is go to the /feeds URI for a list of the server’s users/feeds.
  
• I still couldn’t figure out how to get a direct link to a user’s twtxt file, curling /feeds/usernick spits out a list of the user usernick twts, so I guess you could use that to follow them.
  
• no way to add in your # nick = usernick / # url = proto://domain.ltd/path/to/twtxt.txt …etc. Probably because that wasn’t part of the spec back then?
  

So yeah, it would make for a nice project while learning Go. :P

well… 🦊

I’m getting way too comfortable with editing twts and fixing Eff’ ups… I gotta stop auto-syncing my twtxt file, at least I’ll have a breathing room for quick fixes when needed. I know, Michael Lucas might not approve of this but, I wouldn’t want the @yarn_police@twtxt.net in the middle of the night, right?

htwtxt maybe, but i can’t built it (broken?)

Ok, I’ve restored the misplaced twts … let’s just hope I didn’t make things worst xD

@bender@twtxt.net … a Twtxt Pod then 🤷

I’ve just unlocked access to my /timeline if anyone has been trying to access it earlier.

My bad! My editor was set to use 4 spaces instead of a tab… Making twts by hand is hard =P

Ok, hopefully nobody did pull that 🦊⬆ 😅

@eapl.me@eapl.me Yeah, that’s exactly why I’m asking. I’ve been having a couple of errors here and there even though I’m using PHP 8.2 … Mostly somethings about undefined array keys and creation of dynamic properties being deprecated (CC: @sorenpeter@darch.dk )

Morning, be good!

Been forcing myself to use vim more often, just because it honestly does run better on my machines. The mode-based UX still hasn’t grown on me, but I’m getting used to it.

On the positive side, I’m using vimwiki again, and it definitely fits my needs better than zim-desktop, or running a full-blown wiki on a webserver.

Hey @sorenpeter@darch.dk what version of PHP do you run Timeline on?

Always has been. Web spec is too hard to implement your own web browser from scratch (nothing can, even Google and Apple, they forked KHTML). So if we not count forks we have only three browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari

So long Blue Birdy 👋 it was a … Never mind, GTFO of my life already! 😆

🔥 ATTENTION: I have really bad news folks 😢

Today, (just this morning in AEST) I accidentally nuke my pod (twtxt.net). I keep backups, but unfortunately the recovery point objective (RTP) is at worst a month! 🤦‍♂️ 😱 (the recovery time objective is around ~30m or so, restoring can take a while due to the size of the archive and index) – For those that are unfamiliar with these terms, they essentially relate to “how much data loss can occur” (RPO) and “how quickly you can restore the system” (RTO).

This pod (twtxt.net) is back up and online. However we’ve last the last ~5 days worth of posts y’all may have made on your feeds (for those that use this pod).

I’m so sorry 😞

@bender@twtxt.net cos I live outside the United States and they don’t send to my country

I wish I had someone who could send me the Hacker Decals and Patch from Hackerboxes. Mail forwarding systems are so expensive!

I have lots of things to do at home. All I need is more energy.

I wonder how many hamradio operators use twtxt.net

One of my quirks—don’t ask me why—is collecting backpacks, bags, patches, and watches, especially those related to aviation and the military. Just yesterday, I added a Direct Action Messenger bag and a 5.11 backpack to my collection.

I’ve been thinking of a few improvements for the next generation of twtxt spec, let me know if these are useful or interesting :) https://text.eapl.mx/a-few-ideas-for-a-next-twtxt-version

Been curious to see if can filter out my access.log file and output a list of my twtxt followers just in case I’ve missed someone … I came up with this awk -F '\"' '/twtxt/ {print $(NF-1)}' /var/log/user.log | grep -v 'twtxt\.net' | sort -u | awk '{print $(NF-1) $NF}' | awk '/^\(/' spaghetti monster of a command and I’m wondering if there’s a more elegant way for achieving the same thing.
