In-reply-to » (#ptp2n7a) Hi @prologic Hi @bender 😁 now, Why is my @ mention is all over the place? xD this feed has a # nick = skinshafi so... should I scream buuug ? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve seen plenty but I doubt you could use any (other than PHP) to actually serve your pages, anything you want to serve, you put in a ~/public_xyz folder (your php files go there too for Apache to serve), no config files/server setting.

But don’t take my word for it, I just got there and still yet to meet people and learn a bit of IT wizardry from them ;)

@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.

In-reply-to » @mckinley Regarding https://mckinley.cc/notes/20241120-css3-announcement.xhtml, I'm wondering why you support viewing your website on a printer? :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Haha, the dark background would have been printed before I added the media query. It’s unlikely that anyone will want to print one of my posts, but I figure it’s worth the extra line to conserve ink if someone does.

@prologic@twtxt.net I bet our twts are already being fed to circuit monsters… Remember the other day when I’d snapped out about some nonsense, being an A-Hole and what not? I’ve seen an AI company employee lurking around with not much interaction (if I’m not mistaken), so my mind went on auto-pilot mode thinking “This !#@%@$ must be feeding us to the circuit peggy monster!! Arrr 😤” 🤣🤣🤣 but then again, one shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover (or an employee by his title) right?

In-reply-to » @sorenpeter hey! I'm watching that now your .txt is pointing to https://darch.dk/twtAgent.php

Yes it work: 2024-12-01T19:38:35Z twtxt/1.2.3 (+https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt; @eapl) :D

The .log is just a simple append each request. The idea with the .cvs is to have it tally up how many request there have been from each client as a way to avoid having the log file grow too big. And that you can open the .cvs as a spreadsheet and have an easy overview and filtering options.

Access to those files are closed to the public.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh man, this is beautiful! We had sunshine all day long. But it was cold, too. When I left the house in the late afternoon, the sun was creating this magical red light. I just hit the right time, all the autumn colors popped out like crazy when I walked down the street. Didn’t bring my camera, though.

I sent a few local tests, could you help me check if you see https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt in your log file?

If you want more eyes on the agent, you can tell tell me, as I was thinking on something similar to catch those ‘following requests’.

In-reply-to » @sorenpeter hey! I'm watching that now your .txt is pointing to https://darch.dk/twtAgent.php

@eapl.mx@eapl.mx Yes, the idea is to add User Agent support to #Timeline.
Right now it just adds every request to a growing log file, but I have also been working on a way to analyse it, so it only saves the time of the latest request.
I’m not sure how to make it part of timeline itself, since it requeses that you redirect/rewrite from twtAgent.php to the acctual twtxt.txt
Help with making Timeline send proper User Agents to others would be much appreciated:)
