@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ah, right - forgot to explain that one - that is indeed the unix epoch timestamp, of the latest message that nick was seen in.
Also added a single-file version of the nicks usage frequency counts: https://xandkar.net/twtxt/nicks/seen.txt
The better thing is probably to pull the desired nick from metadata comments, but not everyone has it and usage frequency is still interesting on its own.
Updated and renamed peer set files: https://xandkar.net/twtxt/peers/ The superset is all.txt and the verified subset is downloaded-and-parsed.txt
Tracking current/correct nicks was getting confusing, so I added a nick usage frequency count pass to the crawler, which also corrects a URL’s nick to the one most-frequently mentioned for that URL. The collected nick data per (encoded) URL is here: https://xandkar.net/twtxt/nicks/seen/
@movq@www.uninformativ.de logrotate feels like the right solution. Just need the client support and a convention for where to host the archives.
Added deduping by URI, which trimmed the unverified set to 1244 and verified to 583: https://xandkar.net/twtxt/ . Still more refining to do, but it’s starting to look more reasonable now. H/T: @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
Added my current peer set files here: https://xandkar.net/twtxt/
Perhaps because I’m not limiting to just twtxt.net? I seeded with initial peers manually and from there keep spidering out to mentions. Also, there may still be dupes which differ only in nick and/or some alias URI that leads to the same place - need to design a de-dupping pass…
If a peer’s URI is downloaded with 200 and at least one message is parsed from it - a peer gets the “verified” badge.
Hey @prologic@twtxt.net! Been busy with work and family and what not. How’s it going? Also see my previous message.
Sorry if I missed replying to you. Besides time constraints, my client is currentl stupid and does not accumulate messages - if you trimmed your timeline - I lost the trimmed messages forever. I might work on improving this over the winter vacation.
Finally added validation to discovered peers! The list of now-VERIFIED, discovered peers, with at least one valid message is now at 703 (out of the 1449 unverified - a lot of garbage mentions are out there). https://xandkar.net/twtxt/peers.txt
@prologic@twtxt.net I know - my list is completely unverified - just parsed mentions and follows. There’re completely bogus entries, like twitter and google. I know what needs to be done, just haven’t prioritized doing it yet.
Updated list of unverified, discovered twtxt peers to 1373: https://xandkar.net/twtxt/peers.txt
Updated list of unverified, discovered twtxt peers to 1180: https://xandkar.net/twtxt/peers.txt
Updated list of unverified, discovered twtxt peers to 1162: https://xandkar.net/twtxt/peers.txt

@hecanjog@hecanjog.com RE: “way out of capitalism” - it’s really interesting to read the slightly-expanded form of what you mean. People tend to have their own implicit associations with terms (like “capitalism”, “anti-capitalism”, etc.) and end-up arguing right past each other. There seems to be a lot more overlap than disagreement over the problems with the structures supporting modern life. Although that might not be too surprising. What is somewhat more surprising is that the final ideal seems to also be the same - honest relationships. The universal disdain seems to be toward systemic scams, which capitalize on accidental patterns and betray essential goals.
Xers and Mils are fast on their way to becoming the proverbial Boomers - the parrots of cliches. Could it be just people in general and nothing particular to any one generation?
