@bender@twtxt.net I kinda fixed it, but there’s still a hell lot more than that still waiting to be fixed 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Aye Aye, Captain 🫡

@bender@twtxt.net 😆 Would calling it a Single user Twtxt "Yarn Pod **Like**" software help you sleep better at night? And just in case things are not clear here, I’m being sarcastic (well, kinda…) and not trying to gaslight anyone. Think of my comment as Bromance or something like that LOL.

But seriously, Just like any UNIX-Like system to Unix™, as in non of them are UNIX™, but each of them is providing more or less similar experience and re-implementing what once was parts of “UNIX™ software” their own (more or less better) ways. Timeline is Yarn™ Pod like, (my personal take on the word pod is: “an instance of XYZ software acting an escape POD from X-BS for… ABC reasons.”) providing more or less of a similar experience, implementing some of Yarn.social Extensions, trying to add in some more …etc.

Otherwise, I don’t see the Yarn pod mention as some kind of malicious manoeuvre, but more of a tribute to what (might have) sparked inspiration for creating Timeline? Also, our friend @sorenpeter@darch.dk here has got a valid reason for using PHP (#tms7aka) so let’s let’s put our unease towards the language itself aside and maybe just help however/as much as we can in order to make internet (the World?) a better place.

Ok, I’ve restored the misplaced twts … let’s just hope I didn’t make things worst xD

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

@bender@twtxt.net Haha! I assume you can’t see the original twt, let me quote for you so you know what I’m responding to:

2024-11-20T07:56:00-06:00 (#gjhq2xq) Hey! I tried running Timeline on my server with the default PHP version (8.3) and it’s giving me a few errors https://eapl.me/timeline/ I should be sending a PR soon to fix it ;)
source: eaplme’s twtxt file.

Also, it’s running on a RPi and slow AF so, brace yourselves for them Server Timeouts 😅

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

@eapl.me@eapl.me adding public $timestamp; to the class Twt in libs/twtxt.php (line 25) fixed that for me but probably broken something else 😅 …

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de exactly! 😂 I accidentally duplicated a twt and deleted it as fast as I can, hoping nobody pulled the feed by then.

@bender@twtxt.net > which feed of his are you following? the .mx or the .me one? I was replaying to THIS TWT

Ok, hopefully nobody did pull that 🦊⬆ 😅

@eapl.me@eapl.me Yeah, that’s exactly why I’m asking. I’ve been having a couple of errors here and there even though I’m using PHP 8.2 … Mostly somethings about undefined array keys and creation of dynamic properties being deprecated (CC: @sorenpeter@darch.dk )

Sweeet! and yeah, I’ve been trying to figure the formatting thing out (amongst other things lol) it looks like the mere presence of a # sign creates new links and breaks others.

@prologic@twtxt.net Not much Other than playing around with @soren@darch.dk ’s Timeline … it’s been quite fun so far. (I’m twting from there by the way 😁)

Morning, be good!

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

@bender@twtxt.net HAHAHAHA xD I’ll do my best and try not to forget chanting: “Sic transit gloria mundi” as I package it for shipping.

@bender@twtxt.net You’d be surprised how many lifetime old accounts I still have, scattered all over the internet. I just don’t have much energy to go through deleting each and every single one of them. xD and here is a bonus image for LOLs

Image

So long Blue Birdy 👋 it was a … Never mind, GTFO of my life already! 😆

@bender@twtxt.net I still have my Famicom from when I was 5 or so and this makes me think I might get away with selling it’s manual for pretty money instead of just framing it and hanging by the desk … wanna buy it? 😂

@bender@twtxt.net ROFLMAO! 🤣

… but using the service itself is considered enough compensation.

@bender@twtxt.net Sorry, I feel like I have to … 😅

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net Same here… Twtxt and Mastodon are more than enough for me. I used to have a BSky account with my own domain name as a handle (which I ended up deleting after a while) and even taught about running my own PDS and the whole nine yards but, it didn’t feel like it was worth the hassle.

Oh! a new feed to follow! Welcome in @wbknl@twtxt.net 👋 looking forward to reading your twts!

@bender@twtxt.net take care buddy, Have fun! … and, I can stick a pinky in a tangerine like I’m five and it’s orange, does that count?

@prologic@twtxt.net hmm, it sounds like homework! 🤔 I’m IN!! 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah I’ve played with it for a bit and read through the code hoping I could steal some of your regex. I’m trying to up my awk(1p) game but failing miserably. 😆

I remember having seen one somewhere but can’t remember where.

Been curious to see if can filter out my access.log file and output a list of my twtxt followers just in case I’ve missed someone … I came up with this awk -F '\"' '/twtxt/ {print $(NF-1)}' /var/log/user.log | grep -v 'twtxt\.net' | sort -u | awk '{print $(NF-1) $NF}' | awk '/^\(/' spaghetti monster of a command and I’m wondering if there’s a more elegant way for achieving the same thing.

@quark@ferengi.one That’s the actual plan for the night, I’m just waiting on a clearer sky. 😆

@david@collantes.us No worries, I got you. And I’ll keep the “Handle with care” reminder in mind, might even use it as mantra if I ever take an arrow in the knee 😆

@david@collantes.us I’m already prepared to blame it on tonight’s full moon if it doesn’t. 🐺

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt here! create a $HOME/.cache/mutt/twtxt/ directory for example and then add this set header_cache = $HOME/.cache/mutt/twtxt/ to your muttrc (the one you have set up for or use with jenny if you’re using different ones). That’s what helped me with that.

Ref: http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#header-caching

@bender@twtxt.net Here #sgvko5a 😁

@bender@twtxt.net That mention looks like @<bender bender@twtxt.net> on my side …

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net have the Invidious instances (alternative front-end to the platform) stop working? Otherwise, I have just figured my way around navigating PeerTube content and I wouldn’t even miss it if YT had to disappear from the internet.

@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 😅

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I’ve been using weechat for a while then when I started learning my way around Emacs I switched to Circe … a couple months later I setup ZNC, rolled with it for some time but wasn’t sure if I wanted to stick with it. Now I’m mainly using TheLounge and do find it convenient accessing it from anywhere. but quite honestly, I don’t have a preference.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, sorry about that, I shouldn’t have put something like that out there in the fist place. It started as a completely different twit then I got overwhelmed noticing that I may have became the exact same thing I despise the most 🤦

@bender@twtxt.net Hehe! I’m flattered.

@prologic@twtxt.net Just gave this one a try to update my twtxt.txt file with a proper # follow = ... list! 🙏

Feeling suspicious about a little something and I, don’t like it -the feeling- a bit. Maybe I’m just being paranoid… but most probably I’m just being an ignorant judgemental piece of shit and I hate myself for it already.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Awesome! I’ll dig in as soon as I come back from my late night stroll

LMAO!!! The bitreich landing page is hilarious 😂

”… we only store good cake recipes, this complies with the GCPR - General Cookie Protection Ruling“

Alas, I can’t get myself to resist. Interacting with tech and software makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop: “I wanna taste all of it! Find my favorite Lollipop and wonder about where it came from, who made it? How is it possible to turn any kind of mushy juicy fruit into a hard, forever lasting candy in a freaking stick!? Oh, Wait!! Is THAT chocolate over there!!?”

I’m not even supposed to do be doing any of this, I should be making stuff* with Shapes, forms and color instead of poking at software with a stick like a caveman. 😆

*Stuff: Things I make and refuse to call Art, unless I have to in a resume and what not.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Although my recent breakage/down time was more of a result of human error than it is something to blame on software itself, I do get your point; and will highly probably end up going the same route in the near future. It’s just that in order to south my forever itching curiosity, I have to learn and try some things first.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site Hi back at you!! 👋 and nice to meet you!

I believe it’s about time I learned to use Treafik.

Yeah I know! My ship was sinking and I’ve just noticed. Patched up the holes and now we’re back afloat.

Apparently I am incapable of getting my sh…Things done unless I drop to TTY xD

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Touch Typing GIGA-CHAD spotted how fast do you type? I can barely do 12wpm xD so I have plenty of time to think about my next short-cut.

@bmallred@staystrong.run Sweeeeeeeeeeet!! Just gave it a try and sorted my Jenny follow list; Thank you !!

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure!! gg=G auto-indents your documents, as for the rest it’s:

• v for selection mode, c for change and d for delete actions as usual.
  
• followed by either ‘afor around ori` for inside/in-between whatever special character comes after it
  _ the [, (, “ … special characters define the perimeter/extent of the action.
  

i.e: ci" would be change the text under the cursor between quotes and da[ _delete text and brackets included_

I’ve linked a reference in the first twt, hope you find it useful.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah, that’s the thing! I’ve been trying to learn more vim motions and I just can’t get myself to remember any… Now I have that cheat sheet bookmarked, I can look them up on the need to know basis.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I watched it the other day, it’s pretty neat! do you have more of these?

Learned to gg=G and to va", ci", di{… in vim the other day 😆 Life will never be the same, I can feel it. ref

Note to self: “If your dashboard says you sh..t is down, it means your sh..t is down. It’s not a dashboard miss-config you dumb azz” 😆

My To Learn list is getting bigger and bigger, ADHD is looking at me funny. 😅
/ME screaming at the mirror: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT LIKE THAT!!? DO YOU WANT!?

@prologic@twtxt.net nick is skinshafi and domain is aelaraji.com 🫡

FINALLY!! I figured my way around daemonizing #saltyd with an rc.d init script with logs and all! 🥳 still have to try a tiny modification before writing that thing… I hope it doesn’t Bork it 😅

@prx@si3t.ch If you were to read this, I would’ve suggested that you gave Podman a try… alas, you won’t.

Finally got myself a new monitor! Went for the best-cheapest-one I could get just in case it gets wrecked too then I could easily replace it with another … And yeah, Fuu*** Asus!

Pulled an all nighter for nothing 😅 but hey, better paranoid than sorry!

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Much appreciated!! 🙏 I’ll go through the files and see if I can understand any of it. I might learn a thing or two along the way.

@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 😅

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Wouldn’t it be possible to use it with your older FF profile? smt like this ?

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 …

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Pretend I’m Leonardo.

/ME slow claps…

@fastidious@tilde.town @movq@www.uninformativ.de hehe’ Howdy!

@bender@twtxt.net Not yet! the prompt said the requests are treated manually and that it could take up to 30 days.

@bender@twtxt.net yeah I know, I treat these like the RSS ones. I’m OK with them being one-ways as long as they don’t get Spammy.

@3r1c@3r1c.net 🤔 Interesting! I was thinking about doing something like this in Rofi, now I can just play with this one.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net I gave it a try, unfortunately it’s a scanned document (just a bundle of Images), the only real text in there, is the first two pages.

@prologic@twtxt.net I got tricked tow times in row 🥲

@fastidious@tilde.town Wait! I do know you! 😅

@fastidious@tilde.town Yeah, I gave it a try, now I’ll just wait. BTW, Your Nick rings a bell! I probably do remember it from reading old twts 👋 Happy getting to you here!

NGL tilde town’s registration process was quite fun! reminded me of the good old text based adventure game.

@bender@twtxt.net Yes! tilde.town is next on my list if I don’t get a response in… too long.

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.

@bender@twtxt.net I can always edit my twt and correct my Oopsie xD Would that make him happier?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You are correct, but I ended up switching to /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp as suggested by @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt in (#66py4ja). there must have been a reason why that file was placed in /tmp/ in the first place, I just don’t know my way around python that much to figure it out 😅.

You proud daddy!? My twt is exactly 140 characters! 😂😂😂

Apparently Drama is tech entities’ new Going Viral PR stunt. After the Wordpress vs. WPE mayhem, Godot starts it’s own, Who/what’s next?

+1 👆

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net is it locked because of a DRM thing or something else?

Otherwise you can check if you already have the pdftotext command that comes with the poppler-utils package, try converting converting the pdf into a text file and copy to your heart’s content. I have just tried it myself.

If you don’t have it already here’s what you can do on Ubuntu or any Debian based distribution of Linux:

• Update and upgrade your packages:
  > sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
  
• Install the poppler-utils package
  > sudo apt install poppler-utils
  
• Now you can convert your pdf to txt file with:
  > pdftotxt -layout -enc UTF-8 name_of_source_file.pdf name_of_destination_file.txt
  

You can always do a pdftotxt --help to see the rest of possible options.
Hope this helps.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt that was a quick and dirty thing I wanted to try 😄 but of course, you can point it wherever you believe it should.

I believe I’d missed an f:

Definitely NOT editing that Oupsie… + It looks all the same in terminal, so I can live with it.🤣

@bender@twtxt.net So…

(#sbmynna) @xuu@txt.sour.is wrote:

”@bender I am also in camp no edit signals. deletes only breaks the head of a thread. all the replies are unaffected.”

I figure I could also answer every single twtxt like this, so that if the original gets edited, or deleted, at least I don’t sound foolish without knowing exactly what I replied to. 🤭

It Sounds like a good idea! should that be limited to just direct replays or can it be extended to replays to other replays, that way and With just the right amount of chain-replays, we’ll be RRrrrrrevolutionizing the way people Mailing Lists like, in no time! xD

P.S: Just a reminder! I’ve already told you not to mind my twts for the next couple of hours, right!

@bender@twtxt.net HAHA I’ve just bookmarked that Repo to go through it tomorrow 👌

See!? Even Meta/Facebook uses plain text, not just Twtxt! 🤣

Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text

@3r1c@3r1c.net Woa! I love this blog’s format! _ it’s just perfect for reading from terminal…

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org HAHA Nice one!

@bender@twtxt.net Well Matt should definitely get better Lawyers/PR people who could slap em’ on the wrest and tell “NO!” before he does something childish and effs things up. As for WPE, I believe a billion dollar company should be able to afford investing in their own infrastructure, hosting their resources, deploying their own CDNs and what not instead of leaching on Wordpress (’s infrastructure) for free (as in free coffee) + The Stripe thing they did is so disgusting given the circumstances, I don’t even want to talk about it.

Things could/should’ve been handled better, now it’s just another sh…rimp show.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no You too buddy, have a good one!
