Trying out twtxt..
WEBMENTION: @xuu@txt.sour.is on https://twtxt.net/twt/c7g6dpq
@prologic@twtxt.net (#gqg3gea) ha yeah. COVID makes for a timey-wimey mish-mash. Worked on some WKD and fought with my XMPP client a bit.
@prologic@twtxt.net Herro! 👋
@prologic@twtxt.net well nice chat. it’s off to bed for me.
@prologic@twtxt.net do you think twt will ever add ActivityPub integration?
@prologic@twtxt.net Yep! installed it yesterday. I like the simplicity of twt. I am quite happy with how little memory the pod seems to use. Mastodon and the “lightweight” Pleroma don’t work well in small VMs.
That way at least we can form some kind of cryptographic “identity” without having to involve the users that much, it just works™
i like some of the work that keys.pub is doing with ed25519 crypto keys with something like that.
@prologic@twtxt.net huh.. true.. the email is md5/sha256 before storing.. if twtxt acted as provider you would store that hash and point the SRV record to the pod. .. to act as a client it would need to store the hash and the server that hosts the image.
@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net something that would be interesting would be libravatar for the user image. i made one that does the same for a profile cover image.
@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net The gpg command line leaves much to be desired…
@prologic@twtxt.net it is some interesting work to decentralize all the things.. tricky part is finding tooling. i am using a self hacked version of the go openpgp library. A tool to add and remove notations would need to be local since it needs your private key.
@prologic@twtxt.net this is a go version of Keyoxide.org that runs all server side. which is based on work from https://metacode.biz/openpgp/
OpenPGP has a part of the self signature reserved for notatinal data. which is basically a bunch of key/values.
this site tries to emulate the identity proofs of keybase but in a more decentralized/federation way.
my next steps are to have this project host WKD keys which is kinda like a self hosting of your pgp key that are also discoverable with http requests.
then to add a new notation for following other keys. where you can do a kind of web of trust.

This is an OpenPGP proof that connects my OpenPGP key to this Twtxt account. See https://key.sour.is/id/me@sour.is for more.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh snap. that’s what i get for copy paste! ill just have to repost and update my key.
FOLLOW: @xuu@txt.sour.is from @admin@29e5c8c72192.ngrok.io using twtxt/0.1.0@f654e6f
@xuu@txt.sour.is can i notify myself?
FOLLOW: @foo@txt.sour.is from @foo@txt.sour.is using twtxt/0.1.0@9fdcb47
@prologic@twtxt.net this is a very curious project. I would love to see how it manages to do its federation between pods.

@prologic@prologic.github.io Could you make the polling of your server a little slower please? Thanks.
@uninformativ@www.uninformativ.de Welcome to Twtxt! Liking your introduction article and your Gopherhole is awesome.
My account at https://twtxt.net was deleted due to a server malfunction, but sysop @prologic@twtxt.net came to the rescue.
Registered to https://twtxt.net and managed to post a reply right before some kind of server error, now my account there is broken 😒
plans for weewiki: a zettelkasten-like interface, a microblogging platform inspired by !twtxt, and some utilities for managing collections of SQLar archives. #updates #halfbakedideas
if you thought emails were great at getting stuff lost, wait til you check out this thing called twtxt
@eli_oat@txt.eli.li happy to be an enabler :) I keep finding new uses for Janet as well! It has proven to be a remarkable extension language for !weewiki.
Hey @prologic@twtxt.net! still figuring out how to reply to people. I’m based in the New England in the US. What about you?
added a twtxt activity section on the !monolith page
A fork of twtxtc, a #twtxt client in C: [[https://github.com/neauoire/twtxtc]] #links
well, I missed my one-year #twtxt anniversary by a few days. yay?
@prologic@prologic.github.io I will probably check out twtxt.net later. Can we use it without registering for an account?
@Leo@www.gkbrk.com Sorry to disappoint. I think I have Finger running on my Raspberrypi but didn’t make it public.
Hello Twtxt from a Xubuntu 18.04 machine!
@eli_oat@txt.eli.li thanks for reading my wiki! janet is pretty cool right? happy noodling.
built a little script for looking up IDs in twtxt tweets: !twtxt_search. Going to use it as a way to look up and reference specific tweets in my wiki.
@hjertnes@hjertnes.social are you using emacs as twtxt client or something? does it render the org markup for you into links?
@lucidiot@tilde.town very cool idea! may have to try something like that at some point…
It turns out that fts5 is enabled by default on SQLite! My twtxt2sqlite generator has been updated to use fts5. Now I can do full text search on all my twtxt tweets. I have implemented a related-tweets box in the !twtxt_playground as a proof-of-concept. More info on fts5 can be found at [[https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html]].
documenting my experiments with twtxt/weewiki integration at the !twtxt_playground
here is the script I use to convert my twtxt feed into a SQLite database: !twtxt_sqlite
a new twtxt/weewiki feature: any word starting with ‘!’ will translate to an internal weewiki reference in my HTML renderer. Example: here is my !wiki_index
a unique thing I do with my twtxt feed is convert it to a SQLite database. This, combined with the Janet + SQLite scripting abilities available in SQLite, could provide interesting metrics and insights over time.
in particular, twtxt provides timestamps. weewiki doesn’t really track the passage of time. it only wants to be a key/value database with org markup.
made a script that simplifies making twtxt entries. let’s see how well it works…
Fixed txtnish timeline formatting of hashtags on BSD by installing coreutils and replacing fmt with gfmt in the configuration file #twtxt #txtnish #gnu #bsd
@kas@enotty.dk Using txtnish I am also getting a 403 on https://buckket.org/twtxt.txt
@mdosch@mdosch.de My site has not been crawled since 2018, and trying to add the twtxt file manually did not worked, maybe with an HTML rendering and a link. #WaybackMachine
Note to self: Keep the twtxt.txt file under version control.
Due to the same situation, my original twtxt.txt file was also lost, but since I keep various clients, making a new tweet restored part of it.
Hey @mdosch@mdosch.de Yes, I do. That’s how all royals do this Twtxt thing, I am not the one to be mocked by Harry or Meghan because I have to type while they just yell at the butlers.
Not that I am asking any #twtxt developer to give me that, I am just saying that I am going to build those tools that I want
I can tweet and twtxt from the command line, now I want a popup text area, a simple local Web interface and an Albert/Alfred action to do it without going to the terminal.
Well @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net they way I am serving my content via http and gopher may need some fixing, thanks for the following #twtxt
Do I need to configure txtnish to output the same date format as twtxt? May need to #RTFM
Testing txtnish on my main laptop, neither the original twtxt client nor the js version worked here.
Hello there @mdosch@mdosch.de thanks for the welcome
@kas@enotty.dk My Gopher URL is gopher://oevl.info and my twtxt.txt file is available at gopher://oevl.info/twtxt.txt
Thank you @kas@enotty.dk, I would like to be added to @we_are_twtxt
Testing a lsyncd configuration to keep twtxt.txt in sync between the web server and the gopher server.
Followed all acounts from https://github.com/mdom/we-are-twtxt
#Ideas RSS to twtxt, Twitter to twtxt, jrnl to twtxt…
Added a header to the twtxt file
First post to my twtxt feed, hope to keep using it
@lucidiot@tilde.town [re: abandoned ideas] Thanks for the inspiration! How do you keep track of projects now? Do you know about TaskWarrior?
The twtxt.xyz domain is a 1000 days old and expires on 2020-04-07. Wondering if anyone will renew it?
Happy New Year Twtxt!
@irongeek@irongeek.net Welcome to Twtxt! I don’t think anyone still is doing something on http://twtxt.xyz/ honestly. It just runs on its own.
@xandkar@xandkar.net Welcome to Twtxt! Noticed a typo in your twtxt user-agent handle. It is pointing to txtxt.txt.
Twtxt is real enough. Feels funny to be so open writing here, yet nobody knows twtxt.txt is here - part of the charm
@lucidiot@tilde.town Good one! :-)
@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for the suggestion using Keybase. Playing around with the authenticity idea.
Signing my twtxt with my johanbove@keybase.io account from today onwards
@kas@enotty.dk I like your gopher server’s formatting, nice and clean and how did you implement the TLS certificate?
twtxt feels a little like launching simple digital bottle notes into the vast oceans of the Internet
@robbinaer@robbinaer.info The domain move seems to have worked. :-)
@kas@enotty.dk [re: gopher client] If you happen to be on Windows, then Gopher Browser for Windows by Matt Owen is pretty nice, otherwise I use Lynx indeed for gopher.
@lucidiot@tilde.town Agreeing that BuJo kind of saved my mind too. It now takes me about three months to fill up 251 pages with tasks, notes and events.
@adiabatic@www.frogorbits.com True. The battery life is great - especially since it is new. FaceID is very handy indeed. The bigger screen estate is amazing too. Also esim might be cool - if only my provider would support it.
@frogor@www.frogorbits.com compared to the Iphone 7. XR might be more powerful but it’s clumsy to hold as big and heavy. Does not feel like a phone at all.
@kas@enotty.dk Good stuff kas++ What command or script did you use to split by year?
@von@tilde.town Understanding you. For me: keeping a bullet-journal on a paper notebook helped me herd my chaotic mind into manageable streams. See https://bulletjournal.com
@von@tilde.town having topic-specific twtxt feeds is not a silly idea. Not sure if the clients allow easy switching though.
@kas@enotty.dk twtxt.txt file splitting for achival is an interesting idea. Should not need to be yearly only. High volume feeds could split faster. Needs a spec though.
@reednj@twtxt.xyz Thanks for making and hosting http://twtxt.xyz - the agreggation of twtxts users, tweets and tags is really cool
Made my own super basic twtxt client in 3 lines of code as a bashrc function. #l33t
@adiabatic@www.frogorbits.com the 0 indicates the txt file type in gophermaps. Gopherholes are made up of mostly plain text files. Does that answer your question?
twtxt is über cool
One of the biggest twtxt feed files I could find is still only 127 KB big
@von@tilde.town Why do you want to keep your twtxt.txt more private if I may ask so?
@mdom@domgoergen.com The news site at gopher://taz.de:70/ is really cool. How did you make it?
Discovered some new twtxt followers by glancing at my web server logs.. Feeling so l33t now.
@mdosch@mdosch.de I thought it was a nice practice to share interesting twtxt-ers through a follow tweet
Added clients and articles sections and added domgoergen’s twtxt.txt to https://indieweb.org/twtxt
// todo Create a Kaios client for twtxt
@kas@enotty.dk The IndieWeb.org twtxt article is only a stub - me copy-pasting content from other sites - could use some more sections - @t himself found it an interesting concept
