In-reply-to » @prologic, do you run a Minecraft server for your children? If so, which one?

@mckinley@twtxt.net I honestly don’t really know how to do this is the problem. I’d love it if I could setup a Minecraft server for my kids and they could play without a Microsoft (silly) Live account 🤣 (seriously fuck Microsoft, they can go to hell!)

In-reply-to » @prologic, do you run a Minecraft server for your children? If so, which one?

@prologic@twtxt.net This is the original Java Edition which is only for PC and doesn’t use Xbox Live, though you do need to use a Microsoft account to play it legitimately and join most servers. There is another version, Bedrock Edition, which is on consoles and phones as well and it uses Xbox Live.

On Bedrock, you can just invite another player into your world, but there are dedicated servers as well and they’re relatively easy to host.

In-reply-to » @prologic, do you run a Minecraft server for your children? If so, which one?

@bender@twtxt.net I have used https://docker-minecraft-server.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for a group of friends. I like it because the server can be configured entirely using environment variables in your compose file. The only exception as far as I can tell is configuration for any plugins or mods you install. Version, server type (vanilla, paper, etc), Java options, ops, whitelist, anything in server.properties, it’s all in the environment variables.

I’ve also heard good things about https://craftycontrol.com/ if you want a Web UI.

We both first thought there is an old helium balloon in the meadow downhill next to the narrow path. However, it was actually a heron against the light. Bloody cool! We passed it at just four meters distance, it didn’t even care about us. I definitely broke my last record from the day after yesterday. Heck, yeah!

In-reply-to » (#2zve52q) hmm any ideas how to fix this case when there is no nick and it on a shared tilde hosting? http://darch.dk/timeline/profile?url=https://tilde.club/~deepend/twtxt.txt

@prologic@twtxt.net No I’m not trying to standardize the domains themselves xD I was just hinting at filtering cases where nick is identical to a level of a domain; in order to show shorter format nicks within clients, i.e: @nick.domain.ltd or @nick.ltd instead of a @nick@nick.domain.ltd or @nick@nick.ltd. Just like what @sorenpeter@darch.dk already did with the nick = domain case. (unless I’m missing the point)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk @bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Right. Also, generally speaking, if you come across a new feed URL, it’s probably either via some mention in another feed or the User-Agent in your access log. Both cases typically advertise also a display name. So, you just reuse whatever you’ve seen there.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I think the use of ~ is so commonly used as a <username> that we should just suppose that out of the box by all clients for display purposes.

I saw a paraglider after sunset. Must have been super cold up there in the sky, we just had 1-2°C on the ground. And I passed a heron at just 5-6 meters distance. I think that’s a new record low. The sunset itself wasn’t all that shabby either. Hence, a very good stroll.

In-reply-to » (#2zve52q) What should the advantage be to nick = _compared to just not defining a nick and let the client use the domain as the handle?

You are right: no advantage. Also your method can make backward compatible to feeds which doesn’t implement metadata extension

@sorenpeter@darch.dk No I agree. I think if the feed doesn’t hint at a nick, just default to displaying the bare domain. These sorts of things btw need to go into a Client recommendations / guidelines. If someone wants to start drafting up such I doc I will fully support this and help shape it 👌

What should the advantage be to nick = _compared to just not defining a nick and let the client use the domain as the handle?

What is not intuitive is that you put something in the nick field that is not to be taken literary. The special meaning of _ is only clean if you read the documentation, compared to having something in nick that makes sense in the current context of the twtxt.txt.

In-reply-to » (#6qodp6q) @eapl.me A way to have a more bluesky'ish handles in twtxt could be to take inspiration from Bridgy Fed and say: If NICK = DOMAIN then only show @DOMAIN So instead of @eapl.me@eapl.me it will just be @eapl.me

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt So the user should then set nick = _@domain.tld in the twtxt.txt?

It seems more intuitive and userfriendly to just use: nick = domain.tld and have then convention for clients to render the handle as @domain.tld instead of @domain.tld@domain.tld

For a feed with no nick defined (eg. https://akkartik.name/twtxt.txt) it will also be simpler and make more sense to just use the domain as the nick and render it as @domain.tld
