This is a test twt to see if :set formatoptions-=t in vim would stop the annoying line breaking I’ve been having in my twts… And I guess, that’s it! Things are looking OK on my end.

How about if I add in a separate paragraph like this one? Did hit return twice for it. I hope it isn’t breaking anything else.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I’ve been having this problem for quite sometime now. It boils down to Vi/Vim/NeoVim inserting those line breaks automatically when editing an .eml file (if I can remember the file extension correctly) … I think Jenny makes use of those. I had to delete them manually until I was told that the problem was fixed after I added the charset utf-8; to my nginx config file. I’ll try and fix this next…

The last time I did so, I ended up injuring my neck reading an old stash of books we’ve had laying around at home. It took months to heal. xD

@bender@twtxt.net LOL! Been there, done that! I can go on for weeks without any of it. Not even a phone, I don’t have that many responsibilities to need one on me all the time. Life is much simpler like that.

Well! My 24 hrs without a GUI Web browser was quite of a nice experience.
As a matter of fact, and as long as I’m not doing any 3D work, I kind of don’t need gui applications as much as it feels like.

Even though, a couple of websites asked me to eff off because they need
JavaScript to work. Some others handed me a cold “402 Upgrade Required” client
error response… (LOL let’s not even talk about how Github repos looked
and felt like). I have managed to fix a couple of things I’ve been meaning to
for quite some time but never got, mainly to because of my browsing
habits. I tend to open a lot of tabs, read some, get distracted then
open some more and down the rabbit hole (or shall I say tabs) I go.

All in all, it was quite a nice experience.
How nice? It was an “I’m dropping into a full TTY experience for another
24 hrs” kind of nice!

Although, I miss using a mouse already, but hey, I would have never
heard about gpm(8) otherwise.

@bender@twtxt.net /me taking notes for future twts …
Sorry for the confusion lads! o.o’

@bender@twtxt.net yeah that’s what I ended up doing but wasn’t so sure.

I’m always second guessing myself, wondering what goes first: the parenthesis () or the brackets [] …
The exclamation mark part was the easiest to remember. 😅

@mckinley@twtxt.net yes it is!
I’m using Zellij. I love how it works out of the box.

I guess I’m not missing my GUI Web Browser yet. In fact, I think I’m enjoying this. 😆

I might even drop to TTY to try stuff I read about earlier today.

@dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com apparently Txtnish isn’t maintained anymore. if interested you could give Jenny a try.
I’ve never had to look back once I’ve had it set up with mutt following @movq@www.uninformativ.de ’s guide

@bender@twtxt.net What are we testing? 🫡

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well trust me if I tell you that most of my past addictions have started with a “Just once” or a “24 hrs challenge”.

I’m reading through the Week Week In TTY thread you’ve linked earlier and oh-boy!
People went All In TTY and no X … I’m tempted! Although I do not believe I can last more than a couple of hours 😅 but I’ll keep on reading.

And again, Thank you!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh! Thank you for the link! I’m checking it right away!
I hope I don’t get slapped with a “HTTP/1.1 426 Upgrade Required” there as well.

As for Netflix and Co. I can do without for the time being. I guess I have binge watched enough content I feel like I miss missing it. 😂

Decided to give it a try and I’m already starting to feal the pain LOL

Do you believe one can survive surfing the web using a text-based web browser? (i.e: Lynx or W3m) no CSS no Bling for at least 24 hours 😲

@prologic@twtxt.net I looked it up, couldn’t find a proper course/tutorial. 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess, you don’t get to check the logs if you host your feed file on a pubnix …

@bender@twtxt.net I’ve dropped him a message earlier on Mastodon, will let him know if he replays 👌

@dev1ls@texto-plano.xyz First replay to your first twtxt from Spain! (I guess) Welcome back in! 🖖

@bender@twtxt.net There are a couple more
I went and looked them up but I can’t imagine myself using any except for “honorificabilitudinitatibus” … It kinda sounds good and has a nice meaning I guess.

@bender@twtxt.net well there is “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”!
I usualy hear people ask Harry Mack (a freestyle rapper) to include it in his freestyles. 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net
That’s awesome!! Congratulations! 🎉🎉

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net
I actually love that one! But no. Mine will be a simple header and a
sub-header, breaking that ugly void. I might add in a couple of links
later but that will be it. Till I make a functional one.

It will be minimal for the time being.
The bare minimum, just … Not blank.

I have finally decided on creating a proper… (landing page?) home page or whatever it is for my domain name.

It has been the same eye soar of a blank white page for years now.
And this, is when I had something I wanted to toy with in the background,
otherwise, which is most of the time, to be precise, It wasn’t pointing at anything at all. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net It would definitely impress the Moroccan ones. Not sure about the other nationalities, though. 😅

(TL;DR: each country/region has it’s own dialect)

@bender@twtxt.net Oh, That sounds delicious! B’Saha![1]
I’m Glad you’ve had quite the productive! All I remember of mine is three chapters of an old novel at the coffee shop aaand … Now I’m here, in front of a computer. Everything in between is just Blank 😅

[1] B’saha: Moroccan word for “With health!” (a literal translation) usually used as an equivalent for the French expression “Bon Appétit!” but also used as “Congratulation!”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Roger that! 🫡

@prologic@twtxt.net It was one of (if not THE) first feed(s) I got to follow after discovering Twtxt and setting up my own.
It was quite nice for the first couple of hours, I’ve even got to explore a couple of @dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu’s articles.

Theeeeen… Things started to feel a bit overwhelming I had to “Clean Things Up!”.
Flushed my whole Jenny/Mutt cached twtxt feed and re-synced everything all over again.

But hey,
Good evening! 🎧🎵Guns N’ Roses - Live and let die.

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Well, Imagine getting to wake up around that same time, every, single, day. 🥱

(It ain’t as good of a live as it sounds though.)

@bender@twtxt.net TBH It was quite late (where I am) when I wrote that twt, way past 2 AM … 😅
But there wasn’t much activity during the day either. It got me wondering if there was something wrong with my cron task for fetching your feeds.

Maybe it’s just the weekends. + there isn’t much bloat content around this space as on the usual platforms anyway.

It’s kinda quiet in here today!

Wishing you a swift recovery @bender@twtxt.net

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I know! 😅 I’ve checked their blog and mastodon earlier. That’s what inspired me to replay to their twt, just in case.

@jdtron@tilde.team you’d be surprised!
I just did :)

Good Morning everyone! Wishing all of you a productive and Happy Monday!

@prologic@twtxt.net I
wonder if there’s something I can add to this test feed’s metadata to get it unlisted so no
one follows it by accident.

… Or, maybe (most likely) I don’t know what I’m talking
about.

Anyway, let’s get … Twtn’? Twtxting? Tw… /me will shut up! 😶

@mckinley@twtxt.net I can’t say for sure. I didn’t even know how three-way merges work till I looked it up. I guess it’s more of git thing that would prove useful in the case of using passwordstore/pass.
As for Keepass, all I do is syncing it’s database file across devices using syncting. Never felt the need to try anything else.

I guess it is safe enough for my use case, with Backup database before saving on and custom Backup Path Placeholders as Backup plan in case of an Eff up.

I might have found the actual source of my problem.

Jenny uses an .eml file when composing a twt …
and vim kinda auto formats it and inserts in those line breaks every ~70 character.

Then, I stumbled upon this link where Where someone reports that saving a .eml into a .txt might… corrupt the data?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Awesome! glad to hear that!

@mckinley@twtxt.net You definitely have got a point!

It is kind of a hassle to keep things in sync and NOT eff up.
It happened to me before but I was lucky enough to have backups elsewhere.
But, now I kind of have a workflow to avoid data loss while benefiting from both tools.

P.S: my bad, I meant Syncthing earlier on my original replay instead of Rsync. 🫠

@bender@twtxt.net can’t say for sure, but I believe it’s a JetBrainsMono Nerd Font … I’m kind of the set it and forget it type. but will try and check later to be sure.

@prologic@twtxt.net sure! Give me a couple of minutes to set things up.
Also, you can check the charset again, I did set it up even tho I do observe the problem in my twtxt.txt file on my local machine way before doing scp to the remote one. They show up when I use bat but not when I cat the file nor on neomut.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank
you! and here’s a twt with the said random characters, since I’ve been
cleaning them up manually, earlier before scp-ing my twtxt.txt file. And
maybe a screenshot of how things look in my editor?

Image

Those new lines are added automatically as I type (except for the ones
after the screenshot.

@bender@twtxt.net I’m using both machines in English.

Checked my locale and it spits out:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NUMERIC=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TIME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_COLLATE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MONETARY=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MESSAGES=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_PAPER=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NAME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ADDRESS=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TELEPHONE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MEASUREMENT=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_IDENTIFICATION=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ALL=

🤷🏽 … and that only happens when vi, vim or nvim are launched by Jenny to compose a twt.

@prologic@twtxt.net it actually does!

But I broke something trying to get rid of the random characters showing on my twts as mentioned here #k7tcqwq.
I taught it was as easy as swapping the ‘\u2028’ in jenny’s new_twt_from_file function but there’s a reason I’m not a developer (yet) 😅

It kinda got rid of them in a way but broke the new lines in the process. So I put things back the way the were till I figure out something else.

@shreyan@twtxt.net ever tried KeepassXC or Pass/Password Store ? They are worth giving a try … Then you can keep your KeepassXD database in synch across your devices with (NOT /R/s/y/n/c) I meant Syncthing or git in the case Pass (using a git repo in within your local network of course) 👍🏼(edited)

borked it! no new lines for me 😂👍🏻

Wait a second! I did get the new line in my editor but the s dissapeared from the twtxt.txt file. let’s add in a new line just to make sure I did not break anything. 😂👍

lets test this now yadi yadi yada a gray fox jumped from I don’t know what over something or someone! … nope! still does the thing …

Now I’m about to do something that May…be… stupid, I’m no dev but
I’ll try and replace the U+201 in the script with a space and see what
happens …

OK time to put this to the test, I ended up setting my $VISUAL env
{-here-} variable, so that jenny can launch neovim instead of plain old vi like
{-here-} it is instructed in the code. But as you can see, I still get these
{-here-} wired new lines every ~70th character (marked them with {-here-})

… or is it vi? 🤔

yep, it did! And it’s definitely something with vim.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thank you! and sorry, I’ve just noticed your twt. About the funky characters, it’s probably something off with my editor, I’ve just ssh-ed from mobile and checked my .txt file, it looked like that when I cat the file but normal on neoutt. I’ll try and see what’s the deal first thing in the morning. (/me wondering if the same thing would happen with this twt)

Down the rabbit hole we go… Wee !!

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha! I’m still figuring my way around but Thank you!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, it seems like it. But I don’t mind using neomutt to go through my feed, it feel like a huge upgrade compared to the usual pager 😄

Thanks again @movq@www.uninformativ.de !! I have figured things out and set up Jenny and Vim completion following your blog post! Cheers!

Test!

Hello Jenny!

Ok! third one is the charm… right? right!!?

Aaaaand another one?

Testing! Testing! One two FREEE!!

I wonder if anyone got that as a replay 🥲 I tried and copied thread’s tag from twtxt.net

Oh! thank you @movq@www.uninformativ.de and @bender@twtxt.net ! I’ve noticed your replays by chance checking my logs 😊

Oh, nevermind… it did! I’ve just checked my twtxt.txt file. Now I have to figure out replays 🫤

Nope! it didn’t work… I still have some digging to do.

I’m still figuring out interactions mechanics on Twtxt, for example the at symbol is sufficient to mention someone you follow I guess, like @twtxt@buckket.org when using the twtwt cli. is that implemented in the twtxt cli as well? it wouldn’t heart to try

Good! I guess I’m done setting up my Twtxt. I’ll be juggling between the official CLI and Twixter, although I already have a favorite.

At last! my Twtxt feed is up and running and I can post to it from a remote client! Yey!

Hello Twtxters!
