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 ĂĽber 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
@ckeen@pestilenz.org I just joined :-) Happy there are still other peepz active on twtxt.
@c-keen I just joined :-) Happy there are still other peepz active on twtxt.
Added myself to the user list at https://github.com/mdom/we-are-twtxt
Created an Indieweb.org wiki article about twtxt - help expand it please - https://indieweb.org/twtxt
domgoergen also has been twtxt tweeting for a while: https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/mdom.txt
kas has an amazing twtxt feed: https://enotty.dk/twtxt.txt
Mirrored on gopher://gopher.johanbove.info/0/twtxt.txt
@davebucklin@davebucklin.com Welcome to the IndieWeb! Thanks also for introducing me to #twtxt. Gophering this for sure.
Hello, this is twtxt!
statically generated my twtxt feed here: https://pbat.ch/wiki/twtxt.html. learning how to be social on this thing comes next.
testing out auto-generation of twtxt wiki page now
Hello twtxt world
@ckipp@chronica.xyz @neauoire@wiki.xxiivv.com Glad you like my little experiment! I’m tweaking it daily, I’ll try to release the code properly once it’s clean enough.
/wiki @neauoire@wiki.xxiivv.com question about glossaries for the wiki: should there be any special notation for terms we come up ourselves?
Moving servers, one service at a time. Shifting twtxt is surprisingly hard without breaking URLs…
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org that sucks. Hope the USB Dongle works out for you.
@von@tilde.town your posting to the future worked for me.
Wow got so busy I forgot about twtxt. Hope everyone is doing well.
@tx@shroom.party I remember people doing word processing though their spreadsheet program.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net No, I think the old DOS edlin program is the standard text editor LOL.
@dave@davebucklin.com No, I don’t think I’ve ever done that
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I also always try to have a few ssh servers with several ports available for me to use. My favorite port is 443. Once had a firewall that wouldn’t allow SSH on 22 but 443 was acceptable because it expected encryption on it.
I just recently found an issue with my custom client. It was ignoring microseconds on timestamps. Which meant I was missing some twtxt from people. I got that fixed and I know see all of them.
@mdom@domgoergen.com my own custom client I wrote, I use cron to run the update my timeline every 20 mins. My update process also processes 10 curl calls at time. I did that to save time when I poll everyone.
@mdom@domgoergen.com That’s interesting. So does txtnish read that metadata? or would an end user just look at the file to see it? Is the meta data going to be the standard?
@mdom@domgoergen.com what metadata feature is that?
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net It’s nice to be way ahead of the curve no? LOL.
@kas@enotty.dk the only thing I can think is that people are finally re-figuring out that static sites are really fast because the content doesn’t need to generated on the fly. I noticed there were a lot of static content generators out there.
@kas@enotty.dk WTF! That’s a good one.
@sdk@codevoid.de A comment might not be in the spec, but I know several of the twtxt files I’ve looked at have them. I know my kit bashed twtxt client ignores those lines and I’m sure other clients do too.
@sdk@codevoid.de you know the more I think about it, it might make sense to have it the twtxt file. It would just need to be a comment line something like “#follows sdk gopher://codevoid.de/0/tw.txt” on a single line. That way it would be easy to parse out those follows by finding the #follows.
@sdk@codevoid.de a random mix into the the twtxt file seems less clean to me. The former would be easier to implement and simpler for another program to get and parse.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I always find amazing that people don’t understand that. People just don’t understand that everything can be a “server”
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I thought so too. Color me surprised when I surveyed my follow programmers in my dept and only 3 out 12 knew what I was talking about.
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org I have tried several times to learn Morse Code. Sadly, I keep having distractions.
@kas@enotty.dk Have to say the peertube is intersting. Too bad I don’t have a serveto play with it.
@pete@petedeas.co.uk I’ve played with Mastodon but I really never got into it.
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org I use to but I downgraded this account, since I had two MetaArpa acconts and I really only needed one.
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Well, I’m thinking of moving my twtxt to anotheurl soon.
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Changes to my SDF account are the issue I’m sure.
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org No worries from this end.
@kas@enotty.dk thanks for that link. Thats a pretty neat thing.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net that is odd, I wonder what happened.
195 people read my twtxt today. Ha, Twitter should be afraid!
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I am the same way.
@mdom@domgoergen.com It certainly does. I find in my currenting pairing, it doesn’t work well and to be brutal I do 10x the work without them.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net good going on getting your SSH/Git going.
@kas@enotty.dk DST ends here in the US on Sunday. I’m lucky enough to live an area of the US were we don’t do that sort of thing. Although it makes dealing with people that do a little tough.
@dave@davebucklin.com not sure why but I didn’t know that SDF had a Mastodon server. I’ll have to create an account
Welcome, @c0by@c0by.de and @robbinaer@robbinaer.info!
@reednj@twtxt.xyz It was mentioned in a sdf.org bboard, so I thought I’d check it out.
@quite@lublin.se thanks, I got that corrected
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net True, but in this case this person was talking about standards that didn’t actually exisit.
@tfurrows@grex.org That’s cool, I know only a little electronics. Enough to know not to melt plastic and make the purple smoke appear.
@tx@0x1a4.1337.cx #stagit looks really cool, thanks for mentioning it.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I have to say that looks interesting.
Re: support for other protocols, it seems like twtxt would be pretty easily adapted to work over the p2p file network DAT, though it’d need client support for DAT or some way to follow people via files and sync in the background, which might be simpler for clients to support but would still require changes to most clients.
@tfurrows@grex.org It is neat. Although it did require to recode a little bit of my kitbashed client LOL
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I’m cheating geting @mekon@sdf.org file by using my own kitbashed php CLI client I am playing around with
Had to update my client to use CURL so I could get @mekon@sdf.org twtxt file via gopher
@tfurrows@grex.org just saw your one reply. Yes the client does have a way to sync with the we_are_twtxt list. So far the biggest issue with the PHP CLI client is that it takes a long time to poll all the sites
