Any idea What’s this "twtxtfeevalidator/0.0.1" UA about? I thought I could ask before throwing a 1000GB file at it 🪤 could it be the same ‘xt’ thing @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org was talking about the other day?

Shi… I forgot to pull my twtxt file before twtin’ … let me see if I can recover them lost timeline twts.

Awake since last year… 😅

Good riddance 2024…
2025, be good or else.

Happy new year Twtxt people. I’m grateful for getting to meet/talk to you all, It certainly was the best thing to have happened to me in this “2024” chapter of my life.

ROFL 🤣 I’ve found myself a new insult: :diffoff a vim command…

Showing my nephew around linux… and what’s a better example of text editing in terminal than an actual twt? eh? 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net Twtxt wise, it was kind of disparate at first xD with no access to logs as you may have read on the alt-feed itself. But then, @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s script came to the rescue … like, just in time 😁 Otherwise, everything else is fun as publicised, exploring and learning along the way.

@skinshafi@thunix.net That’s me by the way! just in case you’ve missed this one … (#44kqz4q) 😅

Behold … “Marginalia” ! My new favorite search engine!! And I have @mattof to thank for this find. Here’s their Blog post about it since I don’t think I could do a better job describing what it is. but, tl;dr: it’s a #smallweb focused search engine.

Been down for +7 effing hours … Power went out for a while and I didn’t even bother to check if things went back up normally afterwards. and guess what? they didn’t 🤡

@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 👍

Image

@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?

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Learned to gg=G and to va", ci", di{… in vim the other day 😆 Life will never be the same, I can feel it. ref

Note to self: “If your dashboard says you sh..t is down, it means your sh..t is down. It’s not a dashboard miss-config you dumb azz” 😆

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 😅

Finally got myself a new monitor! Went for the best-cheapest-one I could get just in case it gets wrecked too then I could easily replace it with another … And yeah, Fuu*** Asus!

@prologic@twtxt.net would you please check my web interface? is that a normal thing or am I missing something?

Anyone has saltyd actually up and running? my deployment was a mess … will tell you all about it when I wake up 😅

This Zen-Browser is actually not bad! 🤯

• Based on Firefox instead of Chromium.
  
• Got tiling pans when you need them… (just like a tiling window manager).
  
• I can hide the Tabs and Nav-Bar with a single short-cut!! AKA Compact Mode …

NGL tilde town’s registration process was quite fun! reminded me of the good old text based adventure game.

Been curious about how people on Pubnix instances do manage their feed, if they have access to log? Sent in a req to join one still no res.

Apparently Drama is tech entities’ new Going Viral PR stunt. After the Wordpress vs. WPE mayhem, Godot starts it’s own, Who/what’s next?

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I’ve just given it a try on android/termux and got it to work, I can’t promise it won’t break something else (because i definitely don’t know what I’m doing) but here’s what I broke 😅:

~/src/jenny $ git diff

and of course make sure you mkdir ~/tmp

See!? Even Meta/Facebook uses plain text, not just Twtxt! 🤣

Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text

“Fu*** IRC maaan, all the cool kids are on Discord! IRC sucks”

LOL, Now substitute IRC and Discord with Gopher/Gemini and Web.
I hope you get the joke 😅

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Wait, what!? We’re dropping Gemini support!?

as a matter of fact! don’t mind anything I do/say for the next 72 hours xD

Don’t mind this twt!

Been trying to get acquainted with rsync(1) but, whenever I Tab for completion and get this:

λ ~/ rsync –
zsh: do you wish to see all 484 possibilities (162 lines)?

I’m like: Nope! a scp -rpCq ... or whatever option salad will do just fine. 😅 [Insert: “Ain’t nobody got time fo’that!” Meme.]

LMAO 🤣 … I’ve been scrolling through mutt(1) man page and found this:

BUGS

  None.  Mutts have fleas, not bugs.

@bender@twtxt.net Just desktop notifications at the moment, but you could easily throw in a Ntfy server and get notified about anything you want, wherever you want. 🤣
