@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh haha 😆 You nearly had me 😅

Moin @arne@uplegger.eu, herzlich willkommen! Ich bin gerade auf https://uplegger.eu/blog/popelfinger gestoßen und war sofort sehr begeistert. :-D Mal sehen, ob ich die anderen an einem der Feiertage davon überzeugt bekomme, das mal auszuprobieren. :-)

Sunset:

Sunset in the oven

No, of course not. This is the gingerbread in the oven with my digicam’s sunset program. The second photo shows the colors more like they are in reality. It surprises me every year how absolutely sticky this dough is. Holy cow! Close to impossible to spread it evenly in the baking tray. https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/lebkuchen-2024-12-20/

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Sweet! 😅

Glad you like them, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com. Anytime!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Beautiful shots as usual! thank you for sharing these with us. 🤘

In the short horizontal rain stroll a few minutes ago I noticed that my rain trousers leak around the right knee.

Way to go F*** Book! With another $263M going down the drains … And people’s lives/data with it.

I’ve started a draft over at: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/src/branch/main/exts/webfinger.md

This is a very nice article from 20 years ago, probably still valid: The Command Line – The Best Newbie Interface? https://www.osnews.com/story/6282/the-command-line-the-best-newbie-interface/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! Yep, 14 is a house martin tower: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwalbenhaus There are a few around here, although most of these nesting boxes are actually not on dedicated towers, but attached at the roof overhangs of private houses.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk This all makes sense, yes 🙌

@prologic@twtxt.net maybe you meant to specify twtxt as a type similar to ActivityPub’s application/activity+json in https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=sorenpeter@norrebro.space

    {
      "rel": "self",
      "type": "application/activity+json",
      "href": "https://norrebro.space/users/sorenpeter"
    },

Then it would also make sense to define a Link Relations but should that then link to something like https://twtxt.dev/webfinger.html where we can describe the spec?

@prologic@twtxt.net Well I just mirrored yarnd’s JSON in my webfinger endpoint and lookup, so not much else to do for standardization.

And for people who don’t like PHP you can always just go with Added WebFinger support to my email address using one rewrite rule and one static file. or simply putting a static JSON in place for .well-know/webfinger

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh 🤣 I hate flies, and lately our house has been buzzing with these pesky flying little annoying ass creatures! 😱 I wish I could invent a laser weapon to vaporize the bastards 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Doesn’t matter. This is a generic advice. 😂

(I was cleaning up spiders on my balcony.)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I personally would like to see us standardize on the use of webfinger for sure 👍

I like the cleaness and indiewebness of using just domains for handles/shorthands similar to blusky, but the situations with more users on the same domain and that people in the fediverse (threads too?) are already familiar with the syntax speaks for webfinger. And since we already got support for webfinger in both yarnd and timeline it makes sense to stick with it.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Really beautiful shot 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Kill what? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 14.jpg looks like a breeding/housing station for birds. Never seen such a thing around here. 🤯

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Lovely indeed. It’s quite nice and warm at the moment. 😊

Friendly reminder to kill it before it breeds.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de omg its like haskell but with more monads.

It was a nice sunny arvo: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-12-18/

Wet road at the dairy farm lit up by the sun

@mckinley@twtxt.net No, no, it’s not dead, it’s resting! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218)

Does anyone else declare a computer dead after extensive testing, let it sit on a shelf for 2 weeks or a year, try it again, and have it work fine? It seems like that’s happened to me a lot more than it should.

BTW I’m watching that darch has already worked on that, interesting https://github.com/sorenpeter/timeline/blob/main/_webfinger-endpoint/.well-known/webfinger/index.php

hey!

I think we could discuss on implementation details like URLs and Handles.

@nick@nick (Masto/Yarn style)
vs
@nick.eapl.me and @eapl.me (Bsky style)

I see, for example, that yarn shows my account as @eapl.me@eapl.me which looks ‘weird’ although it’s not wrong since my domain and my nick are the same. Honestly I like more the Bsky approach as in https://bsky.app/profile/eapl.me for @eapl.me, as when you look for https://eapl.me, it’s my home page.

Also, I didn’t get it completely if you are also proposing a URL standard using subdomains, like https://nick.domain.tls. I only want to point out that these are more difficult to handle from shared hostings, so I’d prefer to also allow https://domain.tls/nick/

after thinking and researching about it, yep, I agree that WebFinger is a good idea.

For example reading here: https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial
I wasn’t considering some scenarios, like multiple accounts for a single domain (See ‘How can I set and manage multiple subdomain handles?’ in the link above)

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev We do to 😅

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Hello! 👋 Welcome to Twtxt!

People doing Advent of Code in this language is the craziest thing I’ve seen: https://www.uiua.org/

@prologic@twtxt.net … yeah 🥴

@movq@www.uninformativ.de to be fair I don’t think this behavior is limited to people in Tech 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Crap! 🤣

It’s unfortunate that so many people in tech have such an unfriendly communication style. I won’t read comments on HackerNews, for example. It’s sad, because these people might be more knowledgeable and they might have important things to add, but I just don’t like “being shouted at”. 🫤

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh haha 🤣 Thanks! 🙇‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s a pretty cool project! Making your own Linux distro and then running a tilde community with it. Nice! 😃

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Found it 😅

A blog post of mine is on the front page of HackerNews again. Not sure if I like this. 🤔 Let’s hope there won’t be people shouting at me this time. Angry nerds can get quite emotional …

@xuu FWIW I do agre with you here. I think we should (Twtxt) agree to just use WebFinger and call it a day. It would solve so many problems.

@xuu Built-in to what though? The spec? A client? A Serivce?

For Example:

Example Business Card

@prologic@twtxt.net optional features don’t gain adoption from non-technical users. This needs to be built in.

@eapl.me@eapl.me why not https://domain.com/.well-known/twtxt/:domain/:user ?

the business card test is this can you write it on your business card and have someone you give it to be able to figure it out without added context?

• phone number: yes because everyone knows what a phone number is.
  
• email address: yes, everyone knows an email and their aol or prodigy will let them email.
  
• twitter/x/insta/pintrest handle: no, whats a twitter? do i need to sign up?
  
• domain name: yes its simple and you just type it in a browser right?
  
• twtxt url: kinda? its a bit long and is that a forward slash? or a backward slash?

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Yeah this only seems to occur on mobile and I have no fix for this 🤔

@xuu is there anything stopping in clients from supporting this as an optional feature?

since twtxt is based on text files, I think you can consider @domain.tld as an alias of http://domain.com/twtxt.txt (or https://domain.com/tw.txt, among other combinations in the wild).

Or perhaps you can use DNS TXT records?
Although I think that’s a bit more complicated for some environments and users, I’d go with looking for a default /tw*.txt

One benefit with bluesky is your username is also a website. And not a clunky URL with slashes and such. I wish twtxt adopted that. I have advocated for webfinger to for twtxt to let us do something like it with usernames. Nostr has something like it

By default the bsky.social urls all redirect to their feeds like: hmpxvt.bsky.social
Many custom urls will redirect to some kind of linktree or just their feed cwebonline.com or la.bonne.petite.sour.is or if you are a major outlet just to your web presence like https://theonion.com‬ or https://netflix.com

Its just good SEO practice

Do all nostr addresses take you to the person if typed into a browser? That is the secret sauce.
No having to go to some random page first. no accounts. no apps to install. just direct to the person.
