Did you enjoy the episode, @david@post.aldebaran.uberspace.de? Any good rants by Tim or Clemens? Was #twtxt mentioned? :)

Already three of ten children sick at our daycare. Keep your fingers crossed.

Yeah! I’m also a frequent listener, @david@post.aldebaran.uberspace.de, but i never have the time to listen to the live podcast for four hours…

@quite@lublin.se Ah sorry, should have checked the commit. #twet is officially the first twtxt client with colors! :)

Thanks @kdave@kdave.github.io for the new default colors. And colored hashtags are also a thing now. And text wrapping at 76 characters. #txtnix

You have to set use_color = 1 and display_format = pretty to get colorized output in #txtnix.

The colors are configurable with a new configuration block: [color] nick = bright_yellow time = red on_green mention = grey10

Does anybody have a good idea for a default color set? I used the first color that crossed my mind, so the default theme is rather ugly.

@quite@lublin.se Woah, we both implemented ANSI color support for #twet and #txtnix at the same time!

// follow david http://post.aldebaran.uberspace.de/twtxt/david.txt

// unfollow david http://htwtxt.plomlompom.com/feeds/david

Should be very use to implement user defined templates if anybody needs it.

And there’s –new to just show the new tweets since the last time you called timeline.

#txtnix now has a –pretty and –simple for the timeline and view subcommands and a config option display_format that defaults to simple.

The pretty format is very similar to twtxt without the unicode glyphs and the relative date.

Thanks @kas@enotty.dk, I just bought it and copied it on my reader! Never heard of the book before.

Definitely worth a read: Myths about /dev/urandom http://www.2uo.de/myths-about-urandom/.

@kas@enotty.dk Read them both and loved them! Though I don’t know why Stephenson added that strange appendix to an otherwise great book.

@ColtonDRG@twtxt.coltondrg.com digitalocean.com has FreeBSD servers for $0.007 the hour. And you can use the PromoCode DeveloperTea for $10 credit.

If you want to try #txtnix, now is the time with the new installation guide https://github.com/mdom/txtnix#installation

My next book will be Darwinia by the same author. Any good tips what to read after that? #books

@kas@enotty.dk I’m at the tenth episode know and it just gets better and better. And it’s shockingly political acurate for television. #westwing

I highly recommend The Chronoliths by Robert Wilson. The Spin series is also great, though i was a little disappointed by the last book.

Should i really deploy code to prod that already broke it twice? Tests look good, but they also did the last time…

Bug bug bug bug bug / new build all should be fixed / bug bug bug bug bug

We just started to watch The West Wing a week ago. No idea how I could have overlooked it for 17 years, it’s so good!

You can at least go sledding @kas@enotty.dk! It’s been raining for hours in Berlin. #weather

@buckket@buckket.org I wonder if you can already see traffic coming in from the heise forums? :)

If connected to a pipe #txtnix tweet will now read tweets from STDIN. Will it now be too easy to spam the #twtxt network? :)

Oh my, we probably need to a way to add multiple twturls. People are now using three different urls for my twtfile.

#txtnix will now add a tenth of a second between tweets to enforce strict ordering between tweets.

Although i probably should add a second between each line so that sorting the tweets still works.

@reednj@reednj.com Yeah, something like that.

It’s so much easier to stay under the 140 character limit when vim is showing you the column you’re in.

#txtnix now calls an editor if you provide no argument to tweet. Every line in then tweeted as a seperate tweet.

@david And there are no problems with shell quoting! And especially with history expansion when using an exclamation mark.

What do you think?

This could be a way to discover other twtxt users more easily. Clients could ignore such lines in the timeline if wanted.

I’m contemplating a announce_following option, disabled by default, to to anounce follow and unfollow commands in your twtfile.

Haha, haven’t heard that one: “#1 rule of distribute computing: Don’t distribute your computing!” https://m.signalvnoise.com/29166d022228

/me wonders in which world autocorrecting spelling errors during tab-completion is sane? https://github.com/mrzool/bash-sensible

Yay, Hacker Newsletter 290 arrived!

We’re planning to write one ourselves but i wanted to check the alternatives first.

Can anybody recommend a webbased ldap account manager other than lamcms that can run custom scripts?

You can even just call txtnit register to register at your friendly neighborhood’s registry.

#txtnix now has support for all registry endpoints, you can query tags, tweets, mentions and users.

@reednj@reednj.com Would you mind adding this functionality to your registry?

If you’re registered with reednj, would you mind being automatically added the a registry? Is reednj just the registry that won? :)

Already registered with ?

Actually i would prefer if all endpoints could return seperate url and nick fields.

Does anybody have an opinion about https://github.com/DracoBlue/twtxt-registry/issues/4?

Just found time to read through http://dankaminsky.com/2016/02/20/skeleton/. Maybe the best thing i read about CVE-2015-7547 yet. Does anybody has more to read about it?

Thanks @kas@enotty.dk for the final nudge to change my bash history settings. Still on the fence about PROMPT_COMMAND=“history -a” though.

@quite@lublin.se Congratulation!

@kdave@kdave.github.io Not that i endorse anything like that, but one could always just .

@kdave@kdave.github.io There’s an almost dependency-free version at https://mdom.github.io/txtnix.

Wow, a third of all ssl certificates on twtxt are from Let’s Encrypt. Incredible.

@josch@blog.schweizerjochen.de You can use update-alternative as normal user by supplying –admindir and –altdir.

Now i just have to figure out how to change my url at the registry… :)

@kas@enotty.dk Yeah, it’s way easier to upload files to github than to my hoster. But i’m giving up, the official mdom is now under https://mdom.github.io/twtxt.txt.

@quite@lublin.se //de/berlin

Stop caring about how -e works: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2016/02/29/msg009700.html

Uh, i misconfigured my service and my twturl was redirected with a 301 instead of 307. Thanks for pointing that out @quite@lublin.se.

@josch@blog.schweizerjochen.de, @quite@lublin.se To be honest, my real url is http://www.domgoergen.com/twtxt.txt, and it doesn’t support ssl… :)

txtnix v0.03 now has support for mentions via registries. Now, if just more users would use registries…

@kas@enotty.dk What project is the front runner in the moment? :)

@dracoblue@dracoblue.net It doesn’t seem to matter what page i request, the result is always the same? #registry

@josch@blog.schweizerjochen.de I would just create a second config file and call twtxt with –config…

@reednj@reednj.com How’d that happen? post_tweet_hook gone wrong? :)

@kas@enotty.dk I learned the sherpas knot http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/surgeonknot.htm from Ian and never used another knot.

@kas@enotty.dk Better check that the mail is really coming from you.

@kas@enotty.dk Just put <|formail -x subject | sed ’s/ tweet //’ | xargs txtnix tweet in your procmailrc and send mails with the subject: tweet msg.

Can’t decide if https://github.com/binfalse/jabber-vs-twitter is crazy or genius. Probably both.

First release of txtnix should be hitting cpan any minute now.

@kas@enotty.dk It’s xargs -n1 txtnix tweet on steroids!

Does anybody have a #twtxt file on a .onion host? #tor

#twtxt feels really snappy after unfollowing texttheater.

New version of txtnix. I would be happy if anybody could test the no-dependency script at http://mdom.github.io/txtnix.

My one daily hour of programming was spent today with writing tests for txtnix. So tired now …

Wow, it’s really pouring down today in Berlin. #weather

@kas@enotty.dk, @mian@miangraham.com twxt: The only social network where you’re welcomed personally.

As german speaker i missed the unintended meaning of txtwat. Sorry, if anybody was offended. The project is now called txtnix.

Too sick to go working. I’m heading back to bed.

You can download txtwat as self contained perl script that should run on all recent versions of perl http://mdom.github.io/txtwat.

Just renamed twtxtpl to txtwat https://github.com/mdom/txtwat.

Always wanted to do something special with 301!

https://github.com/mdom/twtxtpl/commit/cc8b checks if the twtfile was fetched by following a 301 and rewrites the url in your configuration file

@kas@enotty.dk Wow wttr.in is really great! I used finger berlin@graph.no until now. #weather

You can set expand_name to 0 if you want to hide your local nicknames.

Forget to tweet about it, but twtxtpl expands and collapses mentions since last night.

@kas@enotty.dk That probably my client at https://github.com/mdom/twtxtpl. It sends a proper user agent string now.

Parsing iso8601 is way to hard, maybe http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339 would be a better choice?

But HTTP::Date seems to work for most cases.

I’m developing my own implementation of a twtxt client with perl at https://github.com/mdom/twtxtpl

Yeah, first tweet with twtxt!
