@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt I think you’re fine! 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net why i’m changed nick? i may be six with my doesnm.p.psf.lt

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz At least it wasn’t Vibe coding, so just take the win! 😆

@bender@twtxt.net 😆 I might have to make it a Just a Weekend Thing as well. Otherwise, I’ll end up busting a knee, if not an artery.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it’s so funny saying i wrote it lol that shit is made from stackoverflow answers and prayers

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com oh nooo i’ve been there. i have to balance out my abnormal coffee consumption with my anxiety medication which can’t be good lol

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz awww :(( here’s to tomorrow

@prologic@twtxt.net THANK YOU it’s from a comic i love <3

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com weekend coffee—the one mum brews, not the “dirty water” one can get elsewhere—keeps me jittery the whole day. Like I feel my heart wants out kind of jittery. Coffee sure is some elixir. Don’t give it up! 😅

@bender@twtxt.net I wish we could fire presidents and Prime Minister’s when the need arises and the people recognize it needs to happen rather than having to wait for the next election

@bender@twtxt.net Sorry! 🤣

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz hey! Love the new avatar 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Holy moly 🤣 Bases on your description you’ve eaten and drunk way more than I have today where all I’ve had so far is three coffees today

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz nooo! glad you’re feeling better but that’s a LOT of rough stuff for one day oof

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “hmmm, marzipan….”

@prologic@twtxt.net oh, and yes, it is good! 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net don’t jinx it, comrade. Let’s keep a low profile, and be happy. Also, it should have been: “my pod feels…”, or “my pod twtxt.net feels…”. Come on, mon, you are killing me! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net if not physically, then in a matter of speaking. He is also helping on killing us all (like, all).

My pod twtxt.net feels very clear of late hmmm 🧐 This is good right? 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Love those green roll’n hills 👌 Btw, what’s that rickety ‘ol shed in 18? 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net So Vance killed the pope? 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net Pretty cool! 😎

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz ty mana <333 it’s so hard isn’t it

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz so far it’s been better for me! i hope your day improves though <3

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it is funny af don’t worry LMAO

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz noooo hope it gets better

@thecanine@twtxt.net they just come to you innately, just as breathing, or blinking. And they all look good!

This one just occurred to me randomly.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, this is so cool! :‘-D

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz And tasty! :-) Turns out there’s marzipan in the bunny belly. Yum-yum!

by commenting out DMs are you giving up on simplicity? See the Metadata extension holding the data inside comments, as the client doesn’t need to show it inside the timeline.

I don’t think that commenting out DMs as we are doing for metadata is giving up on simplicity (it’s a feature already), and it helps to hide unwanted DMs to clients that will take months to add it’s support to something named… an extension.

For some other extensions in https://twtxt.dev/extensions.html (for example the reply-to hash #abcdfeg or the mention @ < example http://example.org/twtxt.txt >) is not a big deal. The twt is still understandable in plain text.
For DM, it’s only interesting for you if you are the recipient, otherwise you see an scrambled message like 1234567890abcdef=. Even if you see it, you’ll need some decryption to read it. I’ve said before that DMs shouldn’t be in the same section that the timeline as it’s confusing.

So my point stands, and as I’ve said before, we are discussing it as a community, so let’s see what other maintainers add to the convo.

@bmallred@staystrong.run Nice! 👌

@bender@twtxt.net wut?! 😮

@bender@twtxt.net Time to update my machines! 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net The Mouse is the superstar! Go Mouse, go Mouse! 🎉🎉🎉

This is fixed now 🥳 Thanks @xuu@txt.sour.is!

@bender@twtxt.net I believe that’s the only way. We’ll deal with it as it comes up I think.

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s a pickle. Then sanitise the outliers. No other way.

@bender@twtxt.net I can fix and make that work in the parser too. But I’m no longer sure how to cater for the general case. It’s too much to support all punctuation whilst at the same time as other contradicting rules. For example you cannot both support . in nicknames and then expect to be able to to end a mention with a . 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net how about @ and @ Will that work?

@bender@twtxt.net Yes I know 🤣 It’s okay, we just have to build better parsers 😅

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci totally my fault sorry 😞

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci two things. Conduwuit, a Matrix server written in Rust, is no longer going to be developed. The other is, I didn’t mean to tag you, but because Yarnd was broken it happened. Apologies.

@prologic@twtxt.net having rules like this on a decentralised system is nearly impossible. LOL. Ahhh, one of the many perks of decentralisation!

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I would say “We are going to the adult’s toy store for our yearly haul”, though “going to a house of burlesque” would work too! LOL.

Whereas @movq@www.uninformativ.de @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and @bender@twtxt.net are all cool 😎

That’s kind of weird actually. Hmmm @ @ and @bender@twtxt.net are all cool 😎

@bender@twtxt.net This story just reminds me of the couple of times we’ve paid for things in cash 💰 💲 and the stupid banks with the ridiculous “scam alert policy” ask you all kind of dumb ass questions about what you need the cash for 🤦‍♂️ One of these days I need an excuse to buy something that costs a few $k just so I can answer when asked, “what do you need the cash for?” to which my response will be “drugs and hookers of course!” 🤣

Testing mentions, immediately followed by commas. Let’s see: @prologic@twtxt.net, this one is local, it might not break. Now, this one @ isn’t local. Nor this @ one. Will they break. Let’s find out!

@bender@twtxt.net Sounds good to me! Done ✅ Also you did some, so thanks! 🙏

This is something for @movq@www.uninformativ.de and old OS hobbyists alike: FreeDOS 1.4! Get it while it’s hot!

@prologic@twtxt.net why not blanket closing everything older than, say, 3 months? Yarnd is quite a different beast today, right? Let’s start over!

@bender@twtxt.net The DM specification has been updated from time to time in response to advice from the community. For me, It is a successful!
The adoption is another topic 😂
(I am working on my side)

I open a discussion thread: why didn’t the registers work? Will they work later?
#twtxt

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Remind me alter 🙏

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Because I’m a lazy project manage and I haven’t grooomed the backlog in a while 🤣 Since you’re there, do you mind cleaning it up for me? 🙏

@prologic@twtxt.net @andros@twtxt.andros.dev You can delete these feeds (created by me):
https://feeds.twtxt.net/project26/twtxt.txt
https://lor.sh/@Katze_942.rss <- i’m added him but can’t find file
the only rss i follow is https://feeds.twtxt.net/posts-from-atdarkcat09atdc09-ru/twtxt.txt

@prologic@twtxt.net Yarn repo has 88 issues open, some related to ActivityPub. Why you do not close it?

@prologic@twtxt.net exactly!!!! thank you <33

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz creating habits or rituals as hard, dropping ones that you no longer need or considered harmful is even harder! Good luck! 🙏

@prologic@twtxt.net LMAOOOOO TWINS

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s what she said 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org so cute and so pretty!

@bender@twtxt.net WHO CARRIES $3K IN CASH AROUND IN A BAG

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz FUCK YEAH!!! you did it right :D love it

@mana@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz HI MANA!!!!!!!!

Responded to a bunch of Twtxt open issues across multiple repositories today 👌

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz you could add an “I host other people stuff” page #Brainstorming 😁

@bender@twtxt.net You said:

as long as those working on clients can reach an agreement on how to move forward. That has proven, though, to be a pickle in the past.

I think this is because we probably need to start thinking about three different aspects to the ecosystem and document them out:

• Specifications (as they are now)
  
• Server recommendations (e.g: Timeline, yarnd, etc)
  
• Client recommendations (e.g: jenny, tt, tt2, twet, etc)

@bender@twtxt.net wut?! Who carries three grand worth of cash in their handbag?! 👜 Haha 😆

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks! The rain rapidly cooled off the 17°C to just 10°C. I certainly appreciated that. The weather is coming from the west here, so I thought you’ve sent it our way. Let me try to return it. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh, and thanks for the bigger photo! I like how it lovely fill the twtxt in Yarnd. Woot!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I can see somebody put a good effort coming up with some pretty cool goodies! We, Floridians, envy your proper April weather. We are toasting already, and it is not even May. Send us some rain, please!

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev nothing stands still, I agree. I think current twtxt has surpassed the initial specification, while still being relatively backwards compliant/compatible but, for how long?

As for new extensions (DM, for example), they should be OK as long as those working on clients can reach an agreement on how to move forward. That has proven, though, to be a pickle in the past.

@prologic@twtxt.net I won’t give you the link for the moment because I want to check how well it works! 😋

@prologic@twtxt.net Today I learned something new 😁

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks @prologic@twtxt.net !

This code displays the last 10 lines of a twtxt feed without a full dowload.

FEED_URL="https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt"
MAX_RANGE=$(curl -sI $FEED_URL | grep -i 'content-length' | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '\r')
MIN_RANGE=$((MAX_RANGE - 5000))

curl -s --range "$MIN_RANGE-$MAX_RANGE" "$FEED_URL" | grep -v -e '^#' -e '^$' | head -n 10

My self-response!

@prologic@twtxt.net @david@collantes.us

#twtxt

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Bahahaha so do it all the time 🤣

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Some good points here that I share and empathize with 🙌

@bender@twtxt.net I see hmmm 🧐

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Zulu said:

what is twtxt for you?

For me Twtxt is just the underlying format that Yarn.social builds upon 😅

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Ahh cool! I’ll try following it again 🤣 Mind @-mentioning/linking@twtxt.net the feed again? 🙏

@quark@ferengi.one I know! I saw three Hacker News posts on it in a row 🤣

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Haha 🤣 We’ve explored this idea in the past and we decided that it’s actually a good idea to have an “append-only” feed for various reasons. We’ve also explored the idea of using Range requests, but opted instead to just archive/rotate our feeds periodically 😅 There really isn’t much point in having a feed in reverse chronological order, except (maybe?) so a human read view the new twts at the top of the file?! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net “curated” channels (you can see the guide to see the topics it covers), without the ability to fast forward, nor pause. You know, like live television.

@bender@twtxt.net This is just a website that cycles through random Youtube channels? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net check this out. It will make YouTube great again. :-P

Proposal: Change the order of twts in the feeds
https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/issues/26
I drop the bomb and leave! 💣 🏃‍➡️
#twtxt

@bender@twtxt.net I use it. It’s not the feature I use the most in the fediverse, but I communicate this way with several friends. For example, it’s the main way I talk to the original creator of the twtxt-el repository, the way people greet me for the first time or the way they notify me of some bugs in the software I maintain. I can even tell you that it’s the main way I talk to some maintainers of the Emacs community. If there are any of you reading my words, speak up!
Why not have the same? There are things I want to say to @prologic@twtxt.net in private, why should I have to send him an email or private IRC? Or an public twt.
Of course, here’s a topic we’ve already talked about: what is twtxt for you? For me it will always be a social network, in microblogging format, but an asynchronous way of communicating. And having a tool to control visibility is basic 😄
I look forward to hearing from you @eapl.me@eapl.me !

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yes @david@collantes.us It would be good for me, or new developers, if the documentation were agnostic. And if possible with many example cases. I’m fine-tuning the code as you inform me of bugs, trial and error. It’s a lesson to be learned for the future.

@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry! I have fixed a bug and I edited the feed 🫠

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh yes you caught me 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net really? Then we have a problem with bulleted lists. Let me see:

• This is one.
  
• This is two.
  
• This is three, and final.

@bender@twtxt.net Not copy/paste 🤣 Hand on heart! ❤️ However it was a pretty nice article 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net was this a copy and paste? I am betting $100 it was. DM me for more information. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net regex is unholy what am i looking at

@prologic@twtxt.net i saw this! so fucked up

@bender@twtxt.net No worries 😉
