When you try to change a file that’s currently running, it used to say text file busy. Example:

First terminal:

$ cc -Wall -Wextra -o test test.c
$ cp test run
$ ./run

Second terminal:

$ cp test run
cp: cannot create regular file 'run': Text file busy

But on my machines today, it crashes the running program. 🤨 As soon as I run the cp, I get a coredump:

$ ./run
... time passes, I do "cp test run" in a second terminal ...
Bus error (core dumped)

How odd. Another mystery to solve …

In-reply-to » Yeah I know! My ship was sinking and I've just noticed. Patched up the holes and now we're back afloat.

You can pry OpenBSD’s httpd + acme-client from my cold dead hands. Set it up years ago and it never failed (unlike all the fancy stuff we tried at work).

In-reply-to » So, uh, did anyone but me notice that the last character of a twt hash is always either an a or a q? Which is the natural consequence of taking the last digit in the base32 representation of a 256-bit hash -- 256 is not evenly divisible by 5 ! That final character is made up of one bit of actual information and 4 bits of padding.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site We’ve collectively as a community (welcome to the community too! 🥳) had a many-week, multi-thread debate over this. It all boils down to Content Addressing vs. Location Addressing and the benefits, pros/cons of each approach. Ultimately though threads in Twtxt take advantage of a convention we formalized as the Twt Subject. This is combined with a Location-based Addressing, the Twt Hash extension. In the end we are likely to stay with this approach, but fix the parameters we use and truction.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site Yeah we know 🤣 Still debating changes to the extension 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Kaffee und Kuchen erst um vier Uhr? Da sind die beiden aber ‘ne ganze Stunde zu spät dran! Und wie hebt sie denn das Messer, eieiei?!

Lol, Schnitzelklopfen mit einem in Tüte eingepackten Schlosserhammer, das kam mir so auch noch nie unter. :-D

“Like a true German, I’m going to open this beer with my eye socket.” Hahahahahahaaaaa! :-D

In-reply-to » I'm not using anything that you would recognize as a full-featured client. I upload twts with hut publish, "publicise my user agent" with manual curl invocations (when I remember to) (thanks to @movq for the informative guide https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt-mention.html), and as for following other people's feeds, I still haven't decided how I'm going to do that.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site So basically very manual? 🤔

In-reply-to » @asquare (I wonder if that will ever show up without me mentioning you. 😅)

Probably going to stick to my original plan, which is to implement everything I need by hand. Becaus to me part of the appeal of twtxt is that it’s simple enough for it to be feasible to roll your own implementation.

The V: pattern itself is quite good because you can do quite a lot of powerful things with selected text.

For example: ggV}:s/^/ -/ will insert a - at the beginning of every line turning your bunch of lines into a Markdown list of items 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the addressing of the “Bug Bounty program associated with this case” is such a total BS! I can’t help but believing the kid over Zendesk. The “-99” downvotes are telling. I could’t give mine, because I am not signing up on Zendesk for it. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

I thought I lost one of my knives at the flea market this year, but luckily, I just found it in my washbag. Woohoo, yippee! :-) So, I only miss the other that must have fallen out of my pocket when I cycled to the scouts last month.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah, remebering them is a challenge. It often helped me in the past to just try using one or two new commands over and over again. But that obviously doesn’t work that well when the specialized command does not come up in daily routines all that often.

In-reply-to » @aelaraji And pray tell/share with us what these magical commands do? 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure!! gg=G auto-indents your documents, as for the rest it’s:

  • v for selection mode, c for change and d for delete actions as usual.
  • followed by either ‘afor around ori` for inside/in-between whatever special character comes after it
    _ the [, (, “ … special characters define the perimeter/extent of the action.

i.e: ci" would be change the text under the cursor between quotes and da[ _delete text and brackets included_

I’ve linked a reference in the first twt, hope you find it useful.
