I can open any Gopher except Onion from Windows95. What am I doing wrong?

Hah 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Cool 👌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh thanks! 🙏

Lynx can’t do gophers and bitreich has no fallback. Great…

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com It even shows up here too 😅 44 feeds you follow, nice 👍

@prologic@twtxt.net Just gave this one a try to update my twtxt.txt file with a proper # follow = ... list! 🙏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ll merge it then 👌

👋 FYI: I’ve put in place 301 Moved Permanently redirect(s) for https://dev.twtxt.net/ and all relevant pages to the new domain https://twtxt.dev 👌

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.

@bender@twtxt.net Right, so a “Cool Domain” is just a URI in your Domain space that you control and maintain stability. As you control the Domain Space, you can keep URI(s) stable even in the face of change. Okay.

But what I don’t get is @asquare ’s comment:

Imposing a norm that you can’t just use any ol’ url, looking down on people

@asquare Who’s imposing this and “looking down”? If you got that impression from me, that was not my intent. I’m merely pointing out the problem we have, nothing more. We need to solve for that.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site What do you mean by “Cool URLs”?

IMHO, the original spec had it right when it said (paraphrased) “just upload your tw.txt file wherever”. The essence of micro-blogging, as opposed to full-scale blogging, is low friction and low stakes. Imposing a norm that you can’t just use any ol’ url, looking down on people with insufficently cool urls (as in “Cool URIs don’t change” https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI), puts up too much of a barrier to entry.

Yup that’s right.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org How so? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net One could argue twtxt.net’s display formatting is a little over-eager here.

Inversion by Aric McBay was another random library pick. Like The Fall of Io, it’s the most recent in a series, though I think this series is pretty loosely connected. In contrast, the villain in this book is simple and cartoonishly evil. The book presents a design for utopia which was interesting but a little cloying. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to want to live there, but I don’t think I do. I enjoyed the book as easy reading, and might try the others in the series some time. (4/4)

I read Starter Villain by John Scalzi. Enjoyable, like his other books that I’ve read. Somewhat sillier. (¾)

I’m enjoying Wesley Chu’s Tao and Io series. Spies, action, ancient aliens. Some funny parts, some interesting world-building parts, some action-filled parts. I picked up The Fall of Io at random from a library a few weeks ago, and it turned out to be the last in a series of six (technically two series), so after finishing that I read the first and am partway through the second. Usually I try to read series in order, but this way is interesting. One thing I liked about The Fall of Io was that it it followed many points of view with somewhat conflicting interests, some more evil than others, and I felt sympathy for most of them. (I was kind of hoping it would be about Jupiter’s moon Io, but it wasn’t, but I’m satisfied with what I ended up with.) (2/4)

Recent #scifi #reading: (¼)

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl I really like this idea of just using the Feed’s # nick as a sort of “identifier”. This gets us out of this mess of when feeds move locations or authors decide to host on 3 or 4 different protocols 🤣 Downside? Something picks the same nick? (they’ll still hash differently, so that’s fine).

How the afternoon started: .oO( let’s spend five minutes and see the status of that project… )

How the afternoon is going: .oO( Oh, this is cool, maybe it is possible to do what I want, let me check the documentation; oh, the documentation is wrong, let’s fix it but first let’s see what caused it… )

Status: one issue open (on a tool used to debug the issue); three pull requests made (regarding the documentation); does the project do what I want? don’t know yet, had no time to actually read the documentation O:-)

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org not sure that really applies strictly in a purely decentakised system? 🤔

the test would be: how often does unwanted content get pushed on your feed? do incongruent posters easily disrupt harmonious connections? &c. less about the community, more about how the social dynamics play out as various groups and individuals interact.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Cominf yo yhe call? 🤔🤗

Hope you all enjoy the weekend!

AWESOME ! ! !

@xuu@txt.sour.is Thanks!

@prologic@twtxt.net that should be right

@rodolpho@twtxt.rodolpho.onoeck.com.br Hey 👋

I think it uses the first # url too. See here and here – @xuu@txt.sour.is Can you confirm this to be the case? 🙏 GetN("url", 0) will return the first found # url comment right?

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt No I’m just frustrated 🤗

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I will check when I get home 😅

That’s very sad… Btw twtxt is more hardly to spam because of bad discovery. So you can only spam to your followers. Did you really want abandon best method of microblogging?

@gallowsgryph@prismdragon.net Very nice 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Only because I build and maintain additional services right? 🤔

@gallowsgryph@prismdragon.net That’s mixh better 🥳

@gallowsgryph@prismdragon.net Thays mixh better 🥳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmmm now I’m confused 😅 I’ve made no changes anywhere – we still need to all agree, especially client authors and maintainers 🤣

@gallowsgryph@prismdragon.net do you mind updating the fragment part of your avatar url? 🙏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Don’t we use the last url for hashing? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you are absolutely right! And it did happen once more in the past as well. The difficulty about this particular new behavior though is that I’ve also had to blacklist it and remove it from the search engine and crawler for obvious reasons.

There. Re-enabled the old subdomain url (twtxt.prismdragon.net), and just pointed it to the file in my twtxt file’s url field. Either should work, so links won’t be broken.

@gallowsgryph@twtxt.prismdragon.net Cool! 👌

chatting with dial up

My very strong opinion on the use of Twtxt is if you intend to use it, you should be prepared to let people pull your feed or at least check it and regular rentals.

Otherwise get out and go use something that’s either a distributed (Mastodon, AT, etc) or centralized (Facebook, X, etc) network.

I just find a very frustrating when you have these very small number of people that lash out unnecessarily and get so angry over nothing.

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org I think we’ve done that here right? 🤔 we seem to have collectively formed a community of folks that are interested in interacting with one another in a completely decentralized way and minimal way.

@bender@twtxt.net Agreed. I just find it an abhorrent that certain folks just don’t even bother to spend the few mins that it takes to reach out. Compares to hours of their time to cause havoc and mischief. Seriously wut da fuq?! 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net Haha if she let you 🤣

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Awesome! I’ll dig in as soon as I come back from my late night stroll

The last #fridayreads of this #victober will be with #victorian #scifi - Flatland, from A. Square.

After the behaviour of a clearly very angry feed author over the past few days, I’m very tempted to give up on Twtxt and allow it to go back to being dead. What really is the point of building and supporting a way to exchange little pieces of text with one another in a completely decentralized way, if you’re just going to keep bumping up against such hostility? I don’t know why I do this anymore.

Who’s coming to the online meetup today? 🤔

The real crux of the matter is this whole moving feeds around to different uri(s). This makes things hard. I think it’s worth revisiting @anth@a.9srv.net ’s UUID idea for its merits.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m assuming jenny is doing some kind of validation and verifying if that Twt really does exist on the feed uri? 🤔 But the hash is all kinds of wrong now because @gallowsgryph for whatever reason decided it might be a good idea to have a 2nd # url that doesn’t actually point to the same Twtxt feed (bad idea).

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de AFAICT this isn’t a bug with yarnd, but a. bug with the feed itself. The feed is now completely broken in that regard. See #27nifeq

@gallowsgryph@twtxt.prismdragon.net Your feed is a bit off. I don’t think it makes sense to have a 2nd # url field that doesn’t point to the same Twtxt feed 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net I’m not sure I get it 🤣

You restart #Firefox …

What’s going on?

Is there a bug on my side?

@bender@twtxt.net Who did that? 🤔🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de How hard would it be to implement something like (#<2024-10-25T17:15:50Z https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt>)in jenny as a replacement for (#twthash) and have it not care about if is http(s) or a g-protocol?

@Codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl Speed is an issue for the client software, not the format itself, but yes I agree that it makes the most sense to append post to the end of the file. I’m referring to the definition that it’s the first url = in the file that is the one that has to be used for the twthash computation, which is a too arbitrary way of defining something that breaks treading time and time again. And this is the case for not using url+date+message = twthash.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL, you are late! :-P Stores around started selling Christmas’s decorations early September. Like, wow! Usually the earliest is after Halloween, more often after Thanksgiving.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de interesting! So, what would the fix be, in this case, do you know? Aware of this, @prologic@twtxt.net?

Cleaned up my personal e-mail account this week and claimed back about 2GB of space occupied by irrelevant stuff.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, having an issue fetching a twtxt context. I am getting:

Trying to fetch "#mowsvgq" from Yarn pod https://txt.sour.is ...
Trying to fetch "#mowsvgq" from Yarn pod https://twtxt.net ...
Twt could not be found

Yet, the twtxt is there: https://twtxt.net/twt/mowsvgq. Bug, or something else?

Liking the distinction in Vivaldi between bookmark and something to add to your reading list.

Rebuilding my twtxt file after deciding to return, and trying to get back into working on my fork of txtnix as a reason to continue learning Perl again.

@bender@twtxt.net This is true 🤣 I’d you don’t specify one; one will be auto-generated 🤣

The text parameters are percent-decoded before matching. Dash (-), ampersand (&), and comma (,) characters in text parameters are percent-encoded to avoid being interpreted as part of the text directive syntax.

Pretty bland without an avatar though 😢

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I never really thought about that to be honest 🤔

What if i want to delete avatar? Im deleted avatar meta field but still see avatar on twtxt.net

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I did yes 👌
