@bender@twtxt.net … a Twtxt Pod then 🤷
htwtxt maybe, but i can’t built it (broken?)
@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt it’s five years old, no updates (abandon-ware, really). I will give it a try to see if I can get it to compile.
@bender@twtxt.net + a 9 years old container image by the good ol’ buckket himself … not sure what to expect from that but will give it a quick spin and report back
Alright, I gave #htwtxt container a quick spin. The thing lives and feels dead simple, like, echo -e “date -Im\tHello world!” >> twtxt.txt kind of simple but with a GUI. and I LOVE IT! Now let’s see if we can rebuild the image with the latest version of htwtxt.
Cool! Max 140 characters, LOL.
@bender@twtxt.net Yep! Twtxt spec by the letter I guess 🥲
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com you will have to compute hashes by hand, right? How is the timeline, to read from those you follow? I figure it was a nice exercise to raise the dead, but with very little practical purposes, wouldn’t you agree? ;-)
@bender@twtxt.net highly probably, unless I learn go and implement it myself (or someone else more capable does) … but I’m so lazy I’d just copy them from twtxt.net and call it a day xD and yeah, it’s kinda rough the way things are…
- I don’t see a way to follow others, all I can do is go to the /feeds URI for a list of the server’s users/feeds.
- I still couldn’t figure out how to get a direct link to a user’s twtxt file, curling /feeds/usernick spits out a list of the user usernick twts, so I guess you could use that to follow them.
- no way to add in your
# nick = usernick/# url = proto://domain.ltd/path/to/twtxt.txt…etc. Probably because that wasn’t part of the spec back then?
So yeah, it would make for a nice project while learning Go. :P
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hehehehe! Being a nine years old container, the first thing to do is to bring the code complaint to the latest Go release. :-P
Yeah, metadata is an extension, and not part of the original spec.
@bender@twtxt.net I built my own, a much smaller one with a multi stage build… shouldn’t that do the trick? 🤔
