Why donāt Australians source more coffee from our region?
Australia is surrounded by coffee-growing countries like Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, but it imports most of its coffee from the other side of the world. With climate change and coffee bean prices skyrocketing, is it time to look closer to home? ā Read more
another one would be to allow changing public keys over time (as it may be a good practice [0]). A syntax like the following could help to know what public key you used to encrypt the message, and which private key the client should use to decrypt it:
!<nick url> <encrypted_message> <public_key_hash_7_chars>
Also Iād remove support for storing the message as hex, only allowing base64 (more compact, aiming for a minimalistic spec, etc.)

@prologic@twtxt.net IMHO: Most people like it the easy way: āDonāt make me think!ā. If you do not pay money for a service, your data/content is the price to pay. Some handy mobile apps for the fediverse and the ongoing debate on social media services may get the people and their content out of the walled gardens of the 21st century.

A few years ago everyone, everyone, everyone I spoke to about books told me again and again and again to read Gabrielle Zevinās Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. I found it to be totally and completely lacking in joy and any sort of human warmth, and, I think th ⦠ā Read more

EU Not Reassessing Apple and Google Antitrust Investigations, But New Administration Could Shift Priorities
The European Union is āreassessingā its investigations into big U.S. tech companies like Apple, Meta, and Google, claims Financial Times, though a spokesperson from the European Commission has denied that such a review is taking place.

^-- SC2046: Quote this to prevent word splitting.
For more information:
https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2046 -- Quote this to prevent word splitt...
Most likely not all that problematic in this application, but itās good to know about this underlying concept. Word splitting is basically splitting tokens on whitespace, this can lead to interesting consequences as illustrated by this little code:
$ echo $(echo "Hello World")
Hello World
$ echo "$(echo "Hello World")"
Hello World
In the first case the shells sees two whitespace-separated tokens or arguments for the echo command. This basically becomes echo Hello World. So, echo joins them by a single space. In the second one it sees one argument for the echo command, so echo simply echos this single argument that contains three spaces.
10 Things You May Not Know About the London Underground

example.com/x/bananas/yo.txt, and the feed has no nick. What is the nick?
nick is yo? Btw say me which method you choiced. I want to make mention fixer like @bender -> @bender@twtxt.net in my post-hook
Or using the same twt hash method, but only for the URL, to generate the nick, if it doesnāt exist, like so, @5vxo4ia@twtxt.net
Hmm, I just noticed that the feed template seems to be broken on your yarnd instance, @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz. Looking at your raw feed file (and your mates as well), line 6 reads:
# This is hosted by a Yarn.social pod yarn running yarnd ERSION@OMMIT go1.23.4
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Looks like the first letters of the version and commit got somehow chopped off. Iāve no idea what happened here, maybe @prologic@twtxt.net knows something. :-? Iām not familiar with the templating, I just recall @xuu@txt.sour.is reporting in IRC the other day that heās also having great fun with his custom preamble from time to time.
That ābrokenā comment doesnāt hurt anything, itās still a proper comment and hence ignored by clients. Itās just odd, thatās all.

@doesnmppsflt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Not sure which bug youāre referring to. š¤ (Did I forget?)
Those long IDs like (#113797927355322708) are simply part of that feed. Looks like the author just dumps ActivityPub IDs into twtxt. I think this used to work in the past, but the corresponding spec (https://twtxt.dev/exts/hash-tag.html) has been deprecated and jenny doesnāt support ā actually, jenny never supported that.
jenny can only group threads by exactly one criterium (because it writes a Message-ID into the mail file) and thatās the regular twt hash. So, anything else, like people doing ā#CoolTopicā, isnāt possible.
Hello @movq@uninformativ.de . Did you fixed jenny bug which causes fetching long ids from yarn instances on feeds like https://ciberlandia.pt/@marado.txt ? Iām asking because i want to store links in brackets on some of my posts and donāt want to confuse jenny users
