@prologic@twtxt.net How so? I read the article but didn’t get who’s embracing and extending what to extinguish it…

Oxford’s Word of the Year: ‘Brain Rot’
“Are you spending hours scrolling mindlessly on Instagram reels and TikTok?” asks the BBC. “If so, you might be suffering from brain rot, which has become the Oxford word of the year.”

It is a term that captures concerns about the impact of consuming excessive amounts of low-quality online content, especially on social media. The word’s usage saw an increase of 230% in its frequency from 2023 to 2024 … ⌘ Read more

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.

In-reply-to » A cold and foggy day. 🥶

@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.

In-reply-to » I’ve been using Mastodon too much lately. The constant notifications are becoming too stressful. I really do prefer slow communication, like twtxt. ✌️

It’s also stressful that everything is “live” on Mastodon: When you post something, you post it immediately. Everything happens NOW. In jenny, I can queue up several replies and send them a bit later – much more relaxed and allows me to change my mind without anyone seeing it. 😅

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:)
