@prologic@twtxt.net 🤣🤣🤣 thanks! I didn’t even notice 😅

Now I just have to remember to tag people in replays ✍

… And, HOLLY!! infinite scrolling is real!! 👀

I just did and things are working wonderfully well now and I’m in love with how profile views are layed out! 👌 Thank you!

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Broke on me for having alt-urls I think 🥲

twtxt---profile-layout: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, ("https://aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt" "gemini://box.aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt" "gopher://box.aelaraji.com/0/twtxt.txt")

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Awesome! I’ve seen the demo earlier on mastodon, things are getting better and better with each update 👌 Good luck!

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Wazzaaaaa… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsJLhRGPv-M

That’s my alt-feed by the way! 😉

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org would it work wit cats instead? there has been a whole flock of them in the neighborhood the last couple of days, one female and a gazillion males taking turns 😅 … at least they’d be good for something other than their non-stop after midnight opera 😂

Second power outage since this morning! yeeeey 🥳 I’m not mad at all … not even a little bit. might end up throwing a monitor out tha window for sports, but no, it doesn’t mean that I’m mad… Nooooo, we’re all Gucci over here 🧟

yes it is! although, I’ve only used it to send files and links back and fourth between devices xD none of my relatives wanted to give it a try, which is kinda fair enough (I wouldn’t use WhatsApp if they asked) xD

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Huh? 🤔 I’m curious to what other features you’d want from a messaging app! Also, you can easily send in a couple of feature requests, the dev is pretty receptive 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Believe me, I’ve yapped on twtxt in the last couple of moths more than I did anywhere else within the past +5 years in all other platforms together. 🤣 Here, is the only place I can be myself which I have all of you to thank for.

@prologic@twtxt.net Or databag self-hosted on a RaspberryPi you can throw on a corner of your basement (or a small vps if one is willing to pay for threema) and never look back. The hardest part is getting others to at least test anything other than the already mainstream apps.

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, easy just crop it! [TW] 😆

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Sweeeeet! Just gave it a try, you’ve done a wonderful work 🫡 I wanted to replay from there but couldn’t go past the first page of the feed. It kept freezing on me and complaining about some bad Url (as mentioned on the test twt), so I’ll have to dig through my follow list and see where I effed up this time. 😅

Here’s a twt from @andros@twtxt.andros.dev ’s new version of Twtxt-el 🥳 It feels WAaaaaY better! although it freezes on me as soon as I navigate to the next page complaining about some bad url, but the chronological sorting of the feed as well as the navigation buttons (links?) are a great addition. Looking forward to the next update already! 😁 🥳🥳🥳

There’s a reason I avoid speaking my mind on the internet like the plague. The same reason I’d set up a {B,Ph,Gem}log months ago but never got myself to publish any of the drafts in any of them.

@prologic@twtxt.net I believe @andros@twtxt.andros.dev is referring to the one on the original twtxt docs . I’ve been meaning to contribute to the discussion on the git but I’m just lazy 😅 amma throw in a little something in a minute Poke a bee hive and run away style 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net I’d stumbled upon #FrankenPHP while reading through #Caddy stuff and thought maybe it’s bit overkill for what i need it for but then again, it will be just a “One container in for two out”, that’s win in my book 😆

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt yes, that’s what I did while testing things out on locally but Timeline kept freaking out on me. I’m still RTFMing trying to wrap my head around the rewrites and such.

… Still reverse proxying an Nginx web server tho 😅 Skill Issues of course, but that’s going away next as soon as I get my php-fpm shi_ together.

FINALLY!! Got #Caddy server up and running and got rid of nginx proxy manager and Mysql database containers 🥳🥳🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net I know! I know! 🤣 and it feels like I won’t be either, at least for a while … On the bright #Go side, I’m trying to switch everything (static web stuff and reverse-proxy) to #Caddy

did I just break something else? 😅🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net 😆 There was something weird going on with my #Timeline instance, the text input box was visible even though I was logged out and I was able to twt from it … It has to do with cache because it wouldn’t disappear unless I whip my website’s cache from the browser.

Poke @sorenpeter@darch.dk and @eapl.me@eapl.me I have no Idea how to reproduce this.

hmmm? 🤔

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Who the F+++ still uses goo’s search engine anyway xD Shout out to all my homies hosting a Searx instance 😂🤘

I have no idea what happened in/around instagram but, Holly Shi_ !! People have been pouring out of it and into #Pixelfed for hours now. 😆 way to go #Fedi

@prologic@twtxt.net Just in case… the git link is missing a c in prologic

Two days later Holly Shi_ … I got to see all four at the same time! 😲 Venus and Saturn on one side, Mars a tiny bit bellow the rising Moon on the other side then Jupiter in between but more towards the moon and mars half of the sky. Funny thing is seeing Aldebaran and nearly shitting myself out of excitement thinking it was Uranus 😅🤣

@johanbove@johanbove.info Way to go! ✊ what will you be reading? Got anything planned?

@doesnmppsflt@doesnm.p.psf.lt It looks like it… Although they shouldn’t be empty since Timeline took care of sending those. I believe I have an idea as to why that happened, but will have to test before filing an issue.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org HAHA! A forever stable major release eh? That’s brilliant 😃 …

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt I don’t know if you have already noticed, but your Twtxt/Webmention script outputs Timestamps from the future 🤔 I wonder if Timeline’s does the same …

Noice!

Image

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Testing Testing… 123… Ouiiiiiii… 😆

So Go lang is at a funny version huh’ v1.23.4 will there ever be a v1.23.45678? 🫠🤡

Couldn’t see shi_, but enjoyed observing the moon light slipping trough the fast moving clouds! I’ll take that as a win 👍

/Me came back with a soar neck …

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org /Me throws his keyboard off to the side, grabs his camera just in case and runs upstairs screaming “Yeah! Science B_ !”

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That sounds interesting, good luck!

Thanks, I’m trying my best. Also, nice to meet you (and welcome back?) @oevl@twtxt.net, never seen you around before. 🙌

@prologic@twtxt.net Don’t you dare fix it xD it’s not a bug, it’s a feature! xD

That pretty cool! I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen an actual IRL rainbow let alone a double rainbow. 😅 Thank you!!

ever heard of our lord and savior nb ? 😇

That’s pretty awesome @ ! I’ve seen your contributions to twtxt-el and wondering if you’ve been updating the same one or made another from scratch. either way, I can’t wait to give it a try! 🙌 cheers

Thank you for your kind words @prologic@twtxt.net 🙏 things will indeed.

@prologic@twtxt.net would it be enough to spin up a reverse proxy/Tunnel like the one you did? 😏

Thank you @bender@twtxt.net Much appreciated 🙏 and Sorry you/anyone had to read that…

I’m usually comfortable keeping my hardship to myself, most especially AWAY from the internet; an act of kindness of sorts towards others, “Everyone’s got their own problems to worry about” kind of thing.. But maaan am I starting to believe creating a twitter account would be a healthy decision 🤣🤦 Read nothin’ out there, just a one way echo chamber of sorts to let that shi_ out of my chest. It seem that’s what everyone else’s been using it for all this time.

A Bsky would be even better! 😂 I’d get to shi_ post and yap all I want, allll the way from terminal and never ever have to look back at it or whatever comes out of it. But I digress…

I FU_ing despise this … whatever this is. I wish I could just wake up in some sort of parallel universe where everything is just sunshine and rainbows, alas, life would be just as meaningless.

and sorry you had to read this if you did.

Shit in my life has been spiraling out of control at an unbelievable rate. And just when you think life can’t get shittier it dumps an even bigger N° 2 on yO face.

@xuu@txt.sour.is ROFLMAO! 🤣 reading that, the Tech bro sounded in my mind like Cow from Cow and Chicken

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I appreciate you! and don’t you worry about it, if 2025 doesn’t behave itself we Will make it! 🦾 (now I know the real meaning behind the expression of Making it)

I was looking for an #mpd/#rofi script and stumbled upon this repo adi1090x/rofi, it is just 🤤 DELICIOUS! … and a great reference/kick starter for making my own.

Seriously @prologic@twtxt.net you should think about making a pink theme the De Facto for yarn, even the 🧶 emoji is pink! 😆

HAHAHAHA! 🤣 I freaking love this reaction. Welcome aboard @gretahayes@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz

@bmallred@staystrong.run did you rotate your twtxt file or something happened to your twts? 🤔 asking just in case…

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yep, I gave it a spin locally! I freaking love the cute logo and the UI is fiiiine 👌 my TUI browsers love it just as much …

Image

hmm… apparently the invalid twts are the latest ones I’d posted from Timeline but highly probably because I’d tried to restore them manually, after unintentionally overriding my twtxt file with one that was out of date 🤦

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh! no need to be sorry and feel free to keep at it if it helps, I don’t mind. It’s just that I’m always on the lookout for corpo-bots and crawlers slipping through the cracks (a fun little game of sorts) 😅 the only thing I let them see is a robots.txt telling them to :diffoff

Also, I’m curious about the invalid lines in my feed. is it something I should lookout for in future?

Any idea What’s this "twtxtfeevalidator/0.0.1" UA about? I thought I could ask before throwing a 1000GB file at it 🪤 could it be the same ‘xt’ thing @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org was talking about the other day?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net twtxt-el ?

Saved, I hope that didn’t anyone’s timeline… 😅

Shi… I forgot to pull my twtxt file before twtin’ … let me see if I can recover them lost timeline twts.

Awake since last year… 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you 🙏 wish you all the best! 🙌

Ok, amma start twting from my timeline instance, let me know if I break something xD

Happy New-new year I guess 👋😁

Good riddance 2024…
2025, be good or else.

Happy new year Twtxt people. I’m grateful for getting to meet/talk to you all, It certainly was the best thing to have happened to me in this “2024” chapter of my life.

@bender@twtxt.net I wonder where that dude who was hosting his twtxt feed in a google drive go? 😆 that was hilarious!!

@prologic@twtxt.net Twtxt wise, it was kind of disparate at first xD with no access to logs as you may have read on the alt-feed itself. But then, @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s script came to the rescue … like, just in time 😁 Otherwise, everything else is fun as publicised, exploring and learning along the way.

@quark@ferengi.one What would happen if I replayed to this twt from the future, when I’m still in it’s relative past? 🤔

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt No it’s all good… I’ve just rebuilt it from master and it doesn’t look like anything is broken:

@bender@twtxt.net Gave it a try on Termux same thing @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt uses and it worked 👍

Image

@bender@twtxt.net … a Twtxt Pod then 🤷

I’ve just unlocked access to my /timeline if anyone has been trying to access it earlier.

Morning, be good!

Hey @sorenpeter@darch.dk what version of PHP do you run Timeline on?

@david@collantes.us How much of a computer does it have to be? Would a ZimaBoard do the trick? I don’t have a wife, so I wouldn’t know any better 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net would you please check my web interface? is that a normal thing or am I missing something?

Anyone has saltyd actually up and running? my deployment was a mess … will tell you all about it when I wake up 😅

This Zen-Browser is actually not bad! 🤯

• Based on Firefox instead of Chromium.
  
• Got tiling pans when you need them… (just like a tiling window manager).
  
• I can hide the Tabs and Nav-Bar with a single short-cut!! AKA Compact Mode …

Been curious about how people on Pubnix instances do manage their feed, if they have access to log? Sent in a req to join one still no res.

I believe I’d missed an f:

“Fu*** IRC maaan, all the cool kids are on Discord! IRC sucks”

LOL, Now substitute IRC and Discord with Gopher/Gemini and Web.
I hope you get the joke 😅

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org Wait, what!? We’re dropping Gemini support!?

as a matter of fact! don’t mind anything I do/say for the next 72 hours xD

Don’t mind this twt!

Been trying to get acquainted with rsync(1) but, whenever I Tab for completion and get this:

λ ~/ rsync –
zsh: do you wish to see all 484 possibilities (162 lines)?

I’m like: Nope! a scp -rpCq ... or whatever option salad will do just fine. 😅 [Insert: “Ain’t nobody got time fo’that!” Meme.]

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @falsifian@www.falsifian.org @prologic@twtxt.net Maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about and You’ve probably already read this: Everything you need to know about the “Right to be forgotten” coming straight out of the EU’s GDPR Website itself. It outlines the specific circumstances under which the right to be forgotten applies as well as reasons that trump the one’s right to erasure …etc.

I’m no lawyer, but my uneducated guess would be that:

A) twts are already publicly available/public knowledge and such… just don’t process children’s personal data and MAYBE you’re good? Since there’s this:

… an organization’s right to process someone’s data might override their right to be forgotten. Here are the reasons cited in the GDPR that trump the right to erasure:

• The data is being used to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information.
  
• The data is being used to perform a task that is being carried out in the public interest or when exercising an organization’s official authority.
  
• The data represents important information that serves the public interest, scientific research, historical research, or statistical purposes and where erasure of the data would likely to impair or halt progress towards the achievement that was the goal of the processing.
  

B) What I love about the TWTXT sphere is it’s Human/Humane element! No deceptive algorithms, no Corpo B.S …etc. Just Humans. So maybe … If we thought about it in this way, it wouldn’t heart to be even nicer to others/offering strangers an even safer space.
I could already imagine a couple of extreme cases where, somewhere, in this peaceful world one’s exercise of freedom of speech could get them in Real trouble (if not danger) if found out, it wouldn’t necessarily have to involve something to do with Law or legal authorities. So, If someone asks, and maybe fearing fearing for… let’s just say ‘Their well being’, would it heart if a pod just purged their content if it’s serving it publicly (maybe relay the info to other pods) and call it a day? It doesn’t have to be about some law/convention somewhere … 🤷 I know! Too extreme, but I’ve seen news of people who’d gone to jail or got their lives ruined for as little as a silly joke. And it doesn’t even have to be about any of this.

P.S: Maybe make X tool check out robots.txt? Or maybe make long-term archives Opt-in? Opt-out?
P.P.S: Already Way too many MAYBE’s in a single twt! So I’ll just shut up. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net It’s just a simple twtxt2html and scp … it goes like:

scp $HOME/path/to/local_twtxt_dir/log.html user@remotehost:/path/to/static_files_dir/

I’ve been lazy to add it to my publish_command script, now I can just copy/pasta from the twt 😅

@sorenpeter@darch.dk It’s nobody’s fault! 😇 It’s all part of the fun with them Ones and Zeros

Done and done! everything is back to normal! 🥳

Bonus: On his Pod/Profile it shows as if his last twt is from 4 Months ago.

@quark@ferengi.one No can do! I can’t see any of the replies to that thread, not even mine LOL. let me se if I can fetch @sorenpeter@darch.dk ’s feed with the https link.

Something odd just happened to my twtxt timeline… A bunch of twts dissapered, others were marked to be deleted in mutt. so I nuked my whole twtxt Maildir and deleted my ~/.cache/jenny in order to start with a fresh Pull. I pulled feed as usual. Now like HALF the twts aren’t there 😂 even my my last replay. WTF IS GOING ON? 🤣🤣🤣

@sorenpeter@darch.dk !! I freaking love your Timeline … I kind of have an justified PHP phobia 😅 but, I’m definitely thinking about giving it a try!

/ME wondering if it’s possible to use it locally just to read and manage my feed at first and then maybe make it publicly accessible later.

@prologic@twtxt.net can’t one just link to a keyoxide profile with a link to their Twtxt feed for identity or something?

I’m SO enjoying the new jenny --fetch-context 😁
