Thanks @prologic@twtxt.net !

Here’s a visual of what happened before I firewalled off all web traffic to force it to go through Cloudflare. Don’t even ask me how my IP addresses got found out, but either this is malicious, incompetent or my wider ISP is being DDoS’d (it’s happened before).

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Oooh exiting, we haven’t seen a Twtxt client in a functional language yet 🤣

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Hello! 👋

Well that was fun! 🤩 I was being attacked directly (bypasses Cloudflare somehow) and whatever dafuq that was was killing my ingress and causing it to get OOM killed 😱 I was seeing 100s of requests per second!!! 😱

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev See https://twtxt.dev – There isn’t really anythign specific about avatars or how big they should be, etc. The spec mostly talks about what’s possible and supported by clients and publishers of twtxt feeds. We have yet to write specific client/server recommendations.

Hello everyone! 😁

Is there any rule or information about images in the twtxt specification?

Thanks @bender@twtxt.net for the feedback. I fixed and expanded the article. I’m sorry for my poor interaction. Furthermore, I’m reading and writing while programming a client in Emacs.

@xuu@txt.sour.is What do you like about the fish shell? 🐚

@xuu@txt.sour.is Is this on your instance? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de my util-linux 2.40.2 version of cal seems to do week 53.

Bro.. Gitea I think you are drunk. How is Jan 2024 5 days ago?

@bender@twtxt.net im a fisherman.

Really I would be just about happy with ash though i.e: /bin/sh

@bender@twtxt.net I always change it to Bash. I can’t stand any other weird shell haha 😆

@bender@twtxt.net Haha just making sure when I’m removing snapshots from my backup that I don’t remove the wrong ones 🤣

You really cannot beat UNIX, no really. Everything else ever invented sucks in comparison 🤣

$ diff -Ndru <(restic snapshots | grep minio | awk '{ print $1 }' | sort -u) <(restic snapshots | grep minio | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs -I{} restic forget -n {} | grep -E '\{.*\}' | sed -e 's/{//g;s/}//g' | sort -u) | tee | wc -l; echo $?

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev nos comparte su artículo “twtxt, la red social en texto plano, descentralizada y minimalista”

I would like to share my lastest article about #twtxt on my blog: https://programadorwebvalencia.com/twtxt-la-red-social-en-texto-plano-descentralizada-y-minimalista/ . Attention! It is a Spanish

I don’t plan on making that code public. This is purely a learning project for myself.

So, just a hobby. It won’t be big and professional like GNU, then?

Seriously, that’s very cool. I wish my bootloader was that excited about a successful boot.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right. It’s nice. I’ve had the same one through numerous router restarts and at least two 4-6 hour power outages. I’m definitely not paying for a wildly inflated business plan to self-host a few things. It was like that on my last ISP as well, although they only gave me about 20mbps up.

Wait Usernet is alive? Does it using NNTP or some other modern technology?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That is so insanely cool! 😎

Hmm one of my Hypervisor nodes has failed and I’ve had to rain its VMs and take it offline. Damn 😢

On my blog: Christmas Every Day https://john.colagioia.net/blog/2024/12/22/christmas-every-day.html #fiction #christmas #holiday

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Soeey what fuxking scroll bar?! 🤦‍♂️

@mckinley@twtxt.net That’s fair 👌

@mckinley@twtxt.net I just accept that if shit™ breaks, there ain’t much I can do about it until I can. So that forces me to automate things as much as possible.

@prologic@twtxt.net It looks interesting; definitely a novel approach. I just don’t think I have any use for it right now. I’ve thought about joining one those pubnixes that are around but I don’t think I’d ever do anything with an account on someone else’s server.

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess the difference is that your self-hosted services are publicly accessible so it allows such a setup. For me, everything is over Wireguard. If that link breaks and I’m not at home I can’t resolve domain names, let alone do any kind of server administration. That’s what the hidden service is for.

Early on, I was thinking about WAN IP address changes as well but it hasn’t happened in ~2.5 years with this ISP.

Btw @mckinley@twtxt.net – You may be interested (not sure if have the time though) in mbox.blue 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net Nope.

@prologic@twtxt.net There’s no remote administration in the Mills DC? Not even through a VPN?

Man, I love Gopher. I also love that I can use Termux to get Lynx and Gopher on the go. As much as I like Floodgap, Overbite on Android needs more features (like downloads).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I work entirely remotely myself too, so I don’t really need this level of remote access either.

@mckinley@twtxt.net

QOTD: Do you have a way to get back into your home network if you get locked out?

No. My network is firewalled and the only way into it is physically being on it.

Happy Holidays. Wishing peace for you in 2025.

QOTD: Do you have a way to get back into your home network if you get locked out?

I have a Tor hidden service that lets me SSH into my server from anywhere. I never had to use it until last week. I was playing around with the port forwarding configuration on my router for Wireguard (migrating to a new server, very exciting), forgot to change it back, and found myself an hour away from home hoping to watch a show on Jellyfin. All it took to fix it was an SSH port forward through that hidden service to (very slowly) access my home router’s Web interface.

Woot! I got wolfssl and the wolfssl command-line tool compiled successfully and installed on µLinux 💪 Now I can do all sorts of crypto stuff, generate TLS keys, etc all from a tiny ~20MB Linux distro 🥳

@johanbove@johanbove.info Hey! 👋 Wishhing you all the best too! Hope you have a great break with your family! See ya around 🤗

As long as you can correctly statically link your binary of course 🤣

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yes building OCI images with no userland to speak of is great isn’t it 🤣

My 400th Twtxt Post will be about you: wishing you, reader of my Twtxt feed, all the best for the coming year and most of all love, health, and that your projects and work may contribute to the greater good of all mankind. I will be taking a social-media break for a couple of weeks to enjoy this special time with my family. I hope you will be able to do this with your family and friends too.

Aus Liebe fürs Leben

If there hadn’t been a better time than now to leave the hatred filled cesspool network of right-wing craziness, aka X - then I wouldn’t know when would be.

Jetzt ist das Gröbste für vor Weihnachten bereitet. Gleich geht hier die Medienstrecke an und dann lassen wir uns berieseln.

Ich habe mir einen twtxt-Log-Parser geschrieben, der mich per Mail informiert, wenn jemand “neues” auf meinen Feed zugreift. Mal gucken, wie es läuft.

Sali mitenand. Some swissgerman :D

Moin. Interessant, wie das hier alles funktioniert. Viel Spaß beim spielen.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Looks fun. Also kind of looks like APL and Forth had a baby on Jupyter.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Hello!

@kh1b@kh1b.org Welcome to twtxt!

In this Internation Day Against DRM #IDAD there are some who are asking to make the DRM problem on the web even worse, adding more restrictions to users, in a way that once again breaks the web by making different browers, OSs, etc have a different behaviour:
https://github.com/w3c/encrypted-media/issues/564

Fortunately, there are those who keeps consistently fighting against DRM, in all its fronts.

Today, the FSF is sending a message about DRM on Operating Systems:
https://hostux.social/@fsf/113685832419070494

And ANSOL is promoting a number of DRM-free sources of culture (music, books, software, etc.): https://viste.pt/videos/watch/31203e97-23fa-43a4-ad3d-1a95a722e406

Earlier this year, Software Freedom Conservancy managed a major win in the US: https://sfconservancy.org/news/2024/oct/31/success-in-2024-dmca-exemptions/

And, as I often do, let me remind you of a good ol’ article from FSFE telling you how can you fight against DRM in your country, if you’re in Europe: https://fsfe.org/news/2019/news-20191113-01.en.html

How will YOU be celebrating #idad2024 ?

@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 🤣

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

People say http is an outdated protocol from 1992, a bad copy of Gopher. I want to try it sometime.

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 👌
