@prologic@twtxt.net I bet our twts are already being fed to circuit monsters… Remember the other day when I’d snapped out about some nonsense, being an A-Hole and what not? I’ve seen an AI company employee lurking around with not much interaction (if I’m not mistaken), so my mind went on auto-pilot mode thinking “This !#@%@$ must be feeding us to the circuit peggy monster!! Arrr 😤” 🤣🤣🤣 but then again, one shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover (or an employee by his title) right?

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.

I sent a few local tests, could you help me check if you see https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt in your log file?

If you want more eyes on the agent, you can tell tell me, as I was thinking on something similar to catch those ‘following requests’.

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:)

É frequente encontrar casos em que se olha para o digital como uma versão do físico, em vez de algo distinto, o que cria situações embaraçosas. É o caso da nova “Biblioled”, a Biblioteca Pública digital Portuguesa, que afinal não é uma biblioteca Portuguesa para os Portugueses, mas sim um conjunto de várias bibliotecas replicadas, representando uma biblioteca para cada um dos agrupamentos de bibliotecas físicas pertencentes à RNBP - sem que se veja qualquer valor acrescentado nesta divisão. Com isto, em vez de termos uma biblioteca nacional e para todos, temos uma “biblioteca digital fragmentada” e disponível para os cidadãos de 257 dos 308 municípios Portugueses. Sem se perceber bem porquê, criou-se assim mais uma assimetria, em que não se percebe porque uns podem requisitar livros para ver no seu telemóvel e sem sair de casa, mas os seus vizinhos do município ao lado não.
