💡 Does anyone have any ideas for how to combat SPAM submissions to feeds.twtxt.net – An RSS/Atom -> Twtxt feed conversation service. Hmm? 🧐

@thecanine@twtxt.net Btw… Do you have a web (ideally) based gallery view of your pixel art work here somewhere? 🤔

Ahh damn 😢 Can you recommend anything for iOS / iPadOS or even Web? 🤔

K i l l m e n o w 🤣

@thecanine@twtxt.net Hey! That’s really cute 🥰 Please share with me again, what do you use for drawing pixel art? I wanna see if my daughter is interested in this 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I guess not 🤣

Also the plan was/is for once a month 👌

@mckinley@twtxt.net @shreyan@twtxt.net Does a 4 hour window from 11am UTC to 2pm UTC work for you both? 🤔

This is what the last couple of weeks have been like at work 🔥

Following in @mckinley@twtxt.net‘a style 😆

MOTW: What’s the most interesting media (photo, video, image or screenshot) you’ve captured this week? 🤔

@shreyan@twtxt.net You can join at 6am or even later!

The timing is never strict and I usually just leave the call open for quite a few hours 👌

My sincere apologies @shreyan@twtxt.net 🙏

For anyone else that can’t login to twtxt.net and believe they had an account, please reach out to me. I suffered a recent database corruption. Your feed is likely still there, so just reach out and we can sort out any mess 🙏

@mckinley@twtxt.net Oh well in that case, I’d redesign the IRC protocol to be more like a combination of what Signal is today but with SMTP like capabilities. A bit like what we’ve been trying to do with Salty IM – So-called “federated” instant messaging, with group support and fully e2e encrypted.

I wonder if I can turn this into a multi-protocol browser 🤔

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Damn no native macOS builds 😢

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Found it!

ai.txt: A new way for websites to set permissions for AI

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Only found 3 results for “robotst.xt” and OpenAI 😢 I seem to recall an effort (I cannot find) to build a standard for AI Crawlers similar to robots.txt

@mckinley@twtxt.net Define “fundamental internet protocol”? Do you mean fundamental things that make the Internet work like IP, TCP, DNS, various routing protocols like BGP, OSPF, etc? Or things more like application protocols like IRC, HTTP, etc?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL which I block on purpose 🤣

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bahahaha 🤣 The domain for that image is blocked on my local network 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Good luck! 🤞

@mckinley@twtxt.net I see 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net What happened to it? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de To be fair Twtxt has always been quite niche. Yarn picked up interest a bit a few years back, but then things died down a bit. I built yarnd for me, I continue to use it and improve it every now and again. But I guess the only uses we’ll continue to see and that includes new folks are folks that give a shit about simple things, and see value in a slow, privacy focused medium? 🤔

Cut my following list down to just a mere ~47 feeds. ~11 rss/news feeds, 23 local feeds from my pod, and 13 external feeds.

@news@twtxt.net Err I meant “junk” 🤣 (too late to edit, cbf editing it manually or via the API/CLI 😅)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Could also just be a shitty antenna 😅

I just unfollowed some ~200+ feeds that are basically dead “404 Not Found” 😳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well I used to have a handheld GPS device, probably before I lost most of my sight. I didn’t really feel that it took ~12m to get a fix, it was usually much faster. You may just find that all this A-GPS thing is all just bullshit anyway and just an excuse to collect and store your GPS location on some random web server that someone else owns 🤣

If Sam Altman really wanted “AI” to be in the hands of the people, he a) Should not have made deals with multiple devils that turned OpenAI into a proprietary company. b) Sold most of the company to Microsoft.

hey @oevl@twtxt.net you’re still around right? I’m not imagining it 😅 How are ya? 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net Looks pretry interestinf 🤔

Sorry folks, it was a total disaster 🤣 Had to disable the new feature 😢

• ran out of disk space
  
• blew up the db on this pod (corrupted)
  
• lots of missing features and. broken shit™

And we’re back!

👋 This Pod (https://twtxt.net) will go offline for ~15m shortly, while I perform an offline index of the archive.

@xuu You got any time/energy to help me test this? 🤔 There’s a process for indexing an existing archive too…

Okay, I’ve built full search capabilities for yarnd 😅 Let’s see how many bugs I’ve created 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think my daughter might be finally 🤔 She’s 9 now and getting into table tennis 🏓 whoot whoot! 🥳 So… Maybe…

Yeah nothing being logged, so all the “golden paths” are being executed hmm 🧐

@bmallred@staystrong.run I don’t think so. Let me check my pod’s logs now though that I know you’re pulling me feed…. One sec…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I’ll see if I can get back into this, everytime I see you post stuff like this it makes me want to go out again 🤣 Bit hard for a blind guy to do it all, but still I try 😅

The weird this is I still see your profile as

bmallred may not follow you

I assume you share your followings publicly, I see them on your feed, so I assume so. I was going to debug this on my side too today to see if.I goofed something up but my pod is rather busy so I hadn’t done that yet 😅 (actually working again finally on search)

@bmallred@staystrong.run D’oh 😅 Just in the nick of time haha 😜 Good o, I’m very pleased this all works across very different pieces of software 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh that’s hilarious 😆 I have the exact same setup (minus any filters, I only have those for my Celestron NextStar 4SE telescope) 🔭

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow! 🤩 That is impressive! 👌 Do you mind sharing how you went about doing this? 🙏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Look forward to the results 🤞

Oh so it really does hit some stupid arbitrary endpoint at AWS 😱

Hey @bmallred@staystrong.run 👋 Can you see this? 🤔
