My finger server now includes the last post from tw that doesn’t have a subject. ‘finger a@9srv.net’

With the finger server specifically? No idea, it’s a toy. I’d honestly forgotten I had it on until someone mentioned finger.farm and I was inspired to poke at it again.

I like finger, but outside of a shared system, the complete lack of discoverability is pretty fatal.

No, totally not useful. 🤣 I mean, the finger protocol is pretty trivial, and it’d be fun to add, but doesn’t replace anything you’re doing.

I don’t think the pod would have to be large. Even on tilde.club and the like, with a few dozen active users, it adds to the fun.

Ah, no; and there we have a good example of finger’s poor discoverability! It matches my email address, though: echo a.9srv.net | sed ’s/./@/’

Huh. In my feed, there is (correctly) a backslash before that . in the sed command, but twtxt.net is stripping it.
