@bender@twtxt.net there’s Pub too but is still experimental I think …

Warning: pub is still in development, if it breaks, you can keep the pieces.

@prologic@twtxt.net You know what! let me get back to you on that–I’ve never never tried to do CGI scripting before and have zero knowledge about it.

/Me adding a new entry in a #Todo list.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve seen plenty but I doubt you could use any (other than PHP) to actually serve your pages, anything you want to serve, you put in a ~/public_xyz folder (your php files go there too for Apache to serve), no config files/server setting.

But don’t take my word for it, I just got there and still yet to meet people and learn a bit of IT wizardry from them ;)

@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.

@prologic@twtxt.net There’s always my log.html page if it helps… and while we’re still at it here’s the other twt #z2ymlkq for reference ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah! If you remember I was curious about how people managed their stuff hosted on a Pubnix (this thread -> #z2ymlkq ) and I’ve just managed to join one …

@skinshafi@thunix.net That’s me by the way! just in case you’ve missed this one … (#44kqz4q) 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de if it’s just notifications that are bothering you could just go to your /settings/preferences/notifications and uncheck as much boxes as you need … unless you’ve already done that, then… sorry, not sorry we love your posts my friend!! xD And just so you know, you put a smile on my face whenever I stumble upon any of your retro-computing posts! 😁

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I freaking love this one!! It feels squeaky clean! Definitely using it for my sm0lweb stuff. Thank you for sharing 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net That’s the plan! 3;)

@prologic@twtxt.net I bet our twts are already being fed to circuit monsters… Remember the other day when I’d snapped out about some nonsense, being an A-Hole and what not? I’ve seen an AI company employee lurking around with not much interaction (if I’m not mistaken), so my mind went on auto-pilot mode thinking “This !#@%$ must be feeding us to the circuit peggy monster!! Arrr 😤” 🤣🤣🤣 but then again, one shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover (or an employee by his title) right?

@prologic@twtxt.net How so? I read the article but didn’t get who’s embracing and extending what to extinguish it…

[Update!] My request to join in has finally gotten accepted over on thunix.net like, two days ago! And now, my alter ego @skinshafi@thunix.net can have a Twtxt feed of its own x)

Beautiful shot @movq@www.uninformativ.de 🤩 … I’ve always had a hard time taking pictures in a foggy atmosphere, it never looks as dense as it does IRL. Any tips? 🥹

@prologic@twtxt.net My pleasure! glad I could help.

@prologic@twtxt.net Never seen macOS but I believe that’s a yes, just like in the second screenshot. That’s my whole screen zoomed on the cursor’s position and it keeps following.

@prologic@twtxt.net had to get Compiz from the edge/testing repo, but I believe that you can do without it. Xfce’s default Alt+Scroll thing works out of the box.

xfce’s default Alt+Scroll feels more convenient and you get to zoom in as much as you want as needed before things become indistinguishable, here you can see my original cursor overlapping to magnified one (it only showed during screenshot)

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure why Compiz but here…

Image

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

@prologic@twtxt.net Trust me, it would’ve made the world a better place.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh! I’d like to see this one too. 3:)

… it even shows @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s article from 2020 in search results

Image

Trying one last thing before going Berserk on that MF …

Tearing down my web server and starting all over … that’s just way too many 502s it’s been throwing in the last couple of days.

Safe travels @prologic@twtxt.net have fun!

@prologic@twtxt.net I cannot… believe… It took me a “Single Search Query” to get HOOKED!! 🤩 Bonus: tried it from terminal too and it works just 👌

Behold … “Marginalia” ! My new favorite search engine!! And I have @mattof to thank for this find. Here’s their Blog post about it since I don’t think I could do a better job describing what it is. but, tl;dr: it’s a #smallweb focused search engine.

@prologic@twtxt.net make it 0.25% I had to reboot, “One… More… Time” 🎶

@prologic@twtxt.net Wait a second… something ain’t right here! when you say dropped to does that mean my feed isn’t reachable 99.77% of the time? all the time? Within last N days/hours? (the numbers were 98.29% the other time) or… my feed became more available After an outage? 🤔😅

@prologic@twtxt.net I … Knew it! 🤣 I was even gonna throw in a joke about it in IRC.

Been down for +7 effing hours … Power went out for a while and I didn’t even bother to check if things went back up normally afterwards. and guess what? they didn’t 🤡

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Did we just have had a world-wide bonus summer day out of nowhere !!? It was dry and hot all day long in here as well and still is now at night.

@prologic@twtxt.net

What’s made you unlock twitch.tv?
A couple of events where my only choices for watching them are: Twitch, Youtube or Fartbook.
What are you doing differently?
TL;DR: I stopped going there unless I have to for the reason above.

I used to spend Waaaaay too much time on the platform. I had a whole setup using Streamlink, MPV and Chatterino where sometimes, I’d have up to 10 concurrent open streams all day long on a secondary monitor (thanks to tiling window managers’ magic), some I was interested in watching, some I moderated for a couple of friends and some I’ve had open just for support (helping new streamers in the community with their numbers till they take off and such). Theeen something happened to one of my loved ones, so I had to stop all the nonsense and spend that time and attention with the person who deserves it the most. I blocked the platform at first since I had a habit to type twit... as soon as I opened a browser 😅 (addiction is real) and now I don’t. (That reflex got replaced with typing twtxt... instead 😂)

@bender@twtxt.net Nobody would notice if stopped auto-syncing my twtxt file 3:) and If I’m careful enough I’d have plenty of time to fix my mess

@prologic@twtxt.net I can only tell you why I do xD although, I don’t need to anymore.

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net you mean This? if your browser doesn’t jump to the 00h26m56s time(-frame?) automatically you know where to look ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net HAHA, It was the right tool for the task. 😆👍

@prologic@twtxt.net I went in way too late for @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s presentation but just in time for the mosh-pit talk 🤘 I’ll have to dig through the Vods afterwards.

I ended up deploying an OpenGist instead! unlike MicroBin, the whole things went smoother than posting a twt 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net It has been ages since the last time yt-dl worked for me … maybe give yt-dlp a try?

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just seen that one as well as MicroBin on selfh.st , it looks prettier on your instance than it did on their live demo 😆. But I’ve already started playing around with microBin and will see how things go from there.

I guess I should setup some kind of past-bin or something, I bet somebody’s already angry about them last couple of long twts 😅 Sorry, not sorry! but I’ll try to fix that.

@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:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What!? why would anyone Geo-lock a documentary about Foxes !!? 🤦

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org AWESOME! it’ll definitely come up handy… 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net Glad you could find it useful … as for like I’m glad they’re not a thing here xD otherwise we wouldn’t be having as much conversations going on in here. but I get it, and do appreciate it. 🙏

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

Don’t forget the --build-arg version="1.0.7" for example when building this one, although there isn’t much difference between the couple last versions.
P.S: I may have effed up changing htwtxt’s files directory to /srv/htwtxt when the command itself defaults to /root/htwtxt so you’ll have to throw in a -dir whenever you issue an htwtxt command (i.e: htwtxt -adduser somename:somepwd -dir /srv/htwtxt … etc)
