@bender@twtxt.net Oh I hope that is true 🤣

It bothers me that some tools (namely bat) do not come with their own man pages. I think it goes against the Unix philosophy.

@prologic@twtxt.net the resultant hash doesn’t look anything close to the hashes being used today. Is b2sum generating something else, or what?

@prologic@twtxt.net why sorry? For all we know @movq@www.uninformativ.de won the lottery, and is retiring in Tasmania. :-P

@movq@www.uninformativ.de sorry to hear about your personal things going on. 🤗

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t think that matters a great deal. I think you should publish your client anyway because I think the direction that will end up taking will hopefully be one that we collectively agree on. 🤞

@movq@www.uninformativ.de is that the only system is not available on? Are there alternative packages for OpenBSD?

If we stuck with Blake2b for Twt Hash(es); what do we think we need to reasonably go to in bit length/size?

=> https://gist.mills.io/prologic/194993e7db04498fa0e8d00a528f7be6

e.g: (turns out @xuu@txt.sour.is is right about Blak2b being easy/simple too!):

$ printf "%s\t%s\t%s" "https://example.com/twtxt.txt" "2024-09-29T13:30:00Z" "Hello World!" | b2sum -l 32 -t | awk '{ print $1 }'

I am told through various sources that Iran decided last night to attack Israel with over 200 missile strikes in response to Israel attacking Lebanon. 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net sorry wat?! 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net at this point, I wouldn’t use anything but Signal or Apple messages 😅.

@xuu@txt.sour.is did we ever spec this up?

These collisions aren’t important unless someone tries to fork. So.. for the vast majority its not a big deal. Using the grow hash algorithm could inform the client to add another char when they fork.

With so many messenger apps, why would anyone use Telegram? 🤯

@prologic@twtxt.net it is funny. What do you think of it? True, or false?

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net I gave it a try, unfortunately it’s a scanned document (just a bundle of Images), the only real text in there, is the first two pages.

Let’s try that… Pushed a new commit… Give it ~5m to update…

@bender@twtxt.net I have no idea what I want to be perfectly honest. This is CSS done from scratch 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net how about following the same scheme as Yarn? I mean, I can match colours for visited/non-visited links that work nice, and provide, if that what you would like. What base colour would you like?

@bender@twtxt.net I’m open to suggestions. What would you prefer the color scheme to be? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net the links are still problematically coloured, at least on dark mode. See screenshot below.

Still playing with the style/template and what to include, just keeping it simple for now.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’d love it if you write up a page for jenny 🙏 at https://twtxt.dev 🤞

@fastidious@tilde.town Wait! I do know you! 😅

@fastidious@tilde.town Yeah, I gave it a try, now I’ll just wait. BTW, Your Nick rings a bell! I probably do remember it from reading old twts 👋 Happy getting to you here!

@bender@twtxt.net Yup!

Btw anyone can put up PR(s) 🙃

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Agreed

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I think this is a rype will fix!

@prologic@twtxt.net I think printf is a more portable option than echo -e for interpreting \t as tab. E.g. printf ‘%s\t%s\t%s’ “$url” “$time” “$text”. In general I always prefer printf over echo for anything non-trivial in unix shell scripts. See last paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_(command)#History

NGL tilde town’s registration process was quite fun! reminded me of the good old text based adventure game.

@bender@twtxt.net Yes! tilde.town is next on my list if I don’t get a response in… too long.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I figure it will be the same as those on a tilde server, right? Try https://tilde.town/ !

Been curious about how people on Pubnix instances do manage their feed, if they have access to log? Sent in a req to join one still no res.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL. You got me! :-D

@bender@twtxt.net I can always edit my twt and correct my Oopsie xD Would that make him happier?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You are correct, but I ended up switching to /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp as suggested by @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt in (#66py4ja). there must have been a reason why that file was placed in /tmp/ in the first place, I just don’t know my way around python that much to figure it out 😅.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com yeah, but he is shacking his finger at you for your use of markdown, and emoji. :-)

Apparently Drama is tech entities’ new Going Viral PR stunt. After the Wordpress vs. WPE mayhem, Godot starts it’s own, Who/what’s next?

PHP uses \t as well for TABs.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk oh, I thought we were settled on TABs for a while now, weren’t we? 🤔 The new website mentions TABs too. The command echo -e (on any shell?) will use \t for them.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org what are you building now? The things you are mentioning I couldn’t even start wrapping my head around them! 😅 They sure sound expensive, tough.

[47°09′46″S, 126°43′34″W] Transponder malfunction

Thanks @david@collantes.us, good to know, but we need to agree on what character we use, otherwise the hashes will not be the same:)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk a TAB is simply \t. Just add it to that echo line, and that’s it.

@prologic@twtxt.net from IRC:

“Hashes will increase then, and will use SHA256 instead? That is the end result of weeks long discussions, correct?”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Maybe you’re right: Let’s pause this while edit/delete discussions.

@mckinley@twtxt.net they are fighting to make more money. Seeing it any other way is rather naïve.

Context for those who don’t know: Epic Games is the company behind the hugely popular video game Fortnite. As far as I know, the core game is still free-to-play and supported by microtransactions. It’s available on Windows, consoles, and mobile platforms. They sued Apple a few years ago because they felt the 30% cut Apple takes for in-app purchases was unreasonable and that they should be allowed to distribute their software independently of the App Store. It didn’t turn out so well for them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Apple

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net They must have spent such an ungodly amount in legal fees by now that I wonder if they’ll come out of this in the green if they get to keep all the money from in-app purchases. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they’re doing it, but I think there’s a reason why Epic Games is the only one fighting for app store neutrality.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com You could just remove the {getuser()} part because you added ~.

Epic Games Sues Google and Samsung Over App Store Restrictions
Epic Games filed a new antitrust lawsuit against Google and Samsung, alleging they conspired to undermine third-party app stores. The suit focuses on Samsung’s “Auto Blocker” feature, now enabled by default on new phones, which restricts app installations to “authorized sources” - primarily Google and Samsung’s stores.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt 👌

Understand, ok seems i should leave gemini untouched

@bender@twtxt.net Good point! 👌 I’ll make it so 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net yup, it was muted. I didn’t do it purposely, though. I truly don’t know how that happened. That beget the question, shouldn’t that be disallowed? That is, muting ourselves should not be possible. That same for following/blocking ourselves (if that breaks functionality).

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt No.

iirc in twtxt v2 it starts prohibited

This is not true. There are no issues supporting fetching feeds via Gemini/Gopher. This is totally fine. What will likely happen is “recommendations” and “drawbacks of using Gemini/Gopher”

I mean thread command but bash escapes quoted as command…

Ok, i know how to command working (not sure), but seems it only grab from cache. Maybe make fetch from twtxt.net if hash not found?

@prologic@twtxt.net Regarding the new way of generating twt-hashes, to me it makes more sense to use tabs as separator instead of spaces, since the you can just copy/past a line directly from a twtxt-file that already go a tab between timestamp and message. But tabs might be hard to “type” when you are in a terminal, since it will activate autocomplete…🤔

Another thing, it seems that you sugget we only use the domain in the hash-creation and not the full path to the twtxt.txt

$ echo -e "https://example.com 2024-09-29T13:30:00Z Hello World!" | sha256sum - | awk '{ print $1 }' | base64 | head -c 12

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net is it locked because of a DRM thing or something else?

Otherwise you can check if you already have the pdftotext command that comes with the poppler-utils package, try converting converting the pdf into a text file and copy to your heart’s content. I have just tried it myself.

If you don’t have it already here’s what you can do on Ubuntu or any Debian based distribution of Linux:

• Update and upgrade your packages:
  > sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
  
• Install the poppler-utils package
  > sudo apt install poppler-utils
  
• Now you can convert your pdf to txt file with:
  > pdftotxt -layout -enc UTF-8 name_of_source_file.pdf name_of_destination_file.txt
  

You can always do a pdftotxt --help to see the rest of possible options.
Hope this helps.

No, im just crazy (joke)
