In-reply-to » @prologic @falsifian This just popped up in my head: How about adding a “fetch context” feature? Point jenny to some mail file that contains a twt (or pipe it to stdin) and it will try to auto-discover and fetch all related things. Like, if it sees something like @<falsifian https://www.falsifian.org/twtxt.txt>, then it will look in https://www.falsifian.org/twtxt.txt for a twt with hash tkjafka. Maybe even do this recursively until there are no new references anymore. This process could include explicitly querying some user-configurable Yarn pods as well. 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I need to clean this up in jenny. It still supports a ton of old formats that aren’t used anymore at all. 🧟

It cooled off to 20°C today, but mid week is supposed to be crazy hot again. It was a nice walk, also plenty of people around, though. So we decided against going up our backyard mountain to avoid the masses. We finally took a path that we haven’t checked out for years. That was pretty cool. I couldn’t remember anything on that.

Neither of us has ever seen such a marmelade bun mushroom:

In-reply-to » There was an outage of the Mastodon server I use this morning. A good reminder that this is a service that someone else hosts (and I don’t even pay for it). Could be gone tomorrow.

Honestly, the only thing I want to do on Mastodon is follow the #retrocomputing hashtag and sometimes post under that hashtag. That’s it. 😂

There was an outage of the Mastodon server I use this morning. A good reminder that this is a service that someone else hosts (and I don’t even pay for it). Could be gone tomorrow.

Now that I’ve got a server to spare (the Matrix one is gone), I might look into hosting a snac instance. 🤔

In-reply-to » @movq Is there a good way to get jenny to do a one-off fetch of a feed, for when you want to fill in missing parts of a thread? I just added @slashdot to my private follow file just because @prologic keeps responding to the feed :-P and I want to know what he's commenting on even though I don't want to see every new slashdot twt.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org I’ve pushed a draft into the git repo.

You can now do a “oneshot fetch” for a URL:

jenny oneshot-fetch --url https://feeds.twtxt.net/hacker-news-newest/twtxt.txt --nick hacker-news-newest

This fetches the entire feed, which might be too much. So there’s also this, which only fetches a single twt:

jenny oneshot-fetch --url https://feeds.twtxt.net/hacker-news-newest/twtxt.txt --nick hacker-news-newest --only-twt-hash r6rbinq

Let me know what you think. 🤔

My 9yr old daughter just made her Git commit today, her first website, setup two-factor authentication and used several credentials (which I helped her with) 🤣 – next lessons: password hygiene/management.

In-reply-to » @falsifian @movq You actually only really want the missing root Twt. You could just fetch this from any Yarn pod. There are scripts I built way back when yo do this 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de You can just GET /twt/<HASH> with Accept: application/json:

$ curl -sH 'Accept: application/json' https://twtxt.net/twt/fgthxaq | jq

In-reply-to » @movq, that would be a nice addition. :-) I would also love the ability to hide/not show the hash when reading twtxts (after all, that's on the header on each "email"). Could that be added as a user configurable toggle?

@quark@ferengi.one It’s really only about the hash, isn’t it? 🤔 The user mention (@<quark …) should still be visible in full?

In-reply-to » (Btw, I deliberately don’t join #yarn.social all the time. If I did, I suspect that a couple of development discussions would move over from twtxt to IRC. 🤪 Okay, and I often prefer slow asynchronous communication.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is fair 😅 Most development with Twtxt / Yarn.socail continues to be “asynchronous” and “slow” in nature 🤣 – regardless of whether we see you on IRC or not 😅

(The jenny code is getting a bit long and convoluted. I feel the need to refactor this quite a bit. That’s why I’m not implementing any of this right away.)
