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.

According to internet it’s adshield and i dont think you should allow this domain: https://redlib.nadeko.net/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/188khmu/site_breaks_with_error_unless_ad_domain_is/

@prologic@twtxt.net (Nope, but the reason could be that I don’t use slashdot. 😅)

@bender@twtxt.net No not yet 🤣

@kh1b@kh1b.org Hello there! 👋

Anyone started seeing this from Slashdot? 🤔

Ta, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, yummy. It’s one of the very few good christmas songs in my opinion.

Lyse and me tested. Now prologic make public key auth. Ask prologic for create user and give your public key

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh god, that song. 😅 Nettes Gebäck. :-)

@kh1b@kh1b.org Hello 👋

@prologic@twtxt.net how does one signs up? I am sure you haven’t advertised the service yet, right?

Oh and I should mention that mbox.blue is running µLinux 😅

@bender@twtxt.net It’s not super important, I tagged you on IRC, but essentially I’m trying to build a tilde (shared linux host) thingy of some sort 😅 just experimenting with an idea I’ve had a while back. See for example working trivial “Hello World” at http://mbox.blue/~prologic/ – The basic idea is that when you ssh -p 222 user@mbox.blue that you actually are put into a sandboxed container. The container is capable of being detached to keep long-running processes like tmux and whatever running with ^p^q (CTRL+p; CTRL+q) and all data stored in $HOME is persisted. Additionally $HOME/public_html is automatically mapped to the root’s web server. That’s about is so far…

@prologic@twtxt.net sure thing! I am at mum’s for coffee. Message away, always!

@bender@twtxt.net Hmm I think I’m not explaining myself very well 🤣 I’ll msg you if you’re not too busy!

@prologic@twtxt.net ahh! “Capability”. Minimum is terminal (SSH) access, and availability of tools present on an UNIX alike box. That’s usually the minimum, and the most common capability.

Many offer the ability to compile in a few languages, and to run your own programs and processes persistently, emails, web hosting, IRC (their own network), etc.

@prologic@twtxt.net because all sign ups are vetted and human approved, the operator set the limits, I figure, based on the resources available.

Brilliant, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, I didn’t think of the keystore! :-D

Me too, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com, I don’t know how many entire books I had to rewrite because of Ctrl+W irreversibly deleting the entire chapter.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yup! Ctrl+w happens to me all the time. 🥴

@bender@twtxt.net What I want to understand is the minimum capability you’d expect? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net yes. And more. Or less. There are no “standards”, nor templates.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net LOL that was some bad late night typing on mobile 🤣 I meant tilde clubs and feature or services they typically have or users expect? Like this list from tilde green https://wiki.tilde.green/services/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de HAHA! speaking of reflexes, Ctrl+SHIFT+v to paste and Ctrl+a to get to the start of the line, get me all the time when I’m using a browser … Ctrl+w (delete back a word) is the worst! tabs go Pouf! 🥲

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It did, in fact, not work. 😅

The keyboard as a password store? Something something “keystore”. 🤪

@sorenpeter@darch.dk In your profile folder (somewhere under ~/.mozilla on Linux), there’s a chrome folder. You can put a file called userContent.css in there.

This also needs the setting toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to be true.

(I hope they never remove this, it’s super helpful.)

Like @movq@www.uninformativ.de, I am puzzled about the term. I am sure it is an Australianism. 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Where in firefox can I set custom CSS?

@prologic@twtxt.net … what’s a tilde gist? 🤔

What’s the most common feature set on these tilde gists? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting! I always use uBlock Origin to do that.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Did it work!? :-D

With these programmable keyboards today, one could easily make the keyboard type the entire password with one key stroke…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL 🤣

As I was typing my password, I hit Tab and expected it to auto-complete. 🤦

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yea me too 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Data protection, data privacy, privacy protection, something like that. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Translation? 🤔🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Good! Germans like Datenschutz! 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL I don’t even know roughly how old you are 🤣

I was today years old when I learned that Firefox supports custom per-domain CSS. Is this new? I thought I had tried a while ago and it only worked globally. 🤔

@-moz-document domain(movq.de)
{
    div { border: 1px solid red; }
}

Either way, I love that I don’t need a plugin for that. 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org same here! I’m hoping that the T-shirt quality itself is actually worthwhile wearing 🤞
