@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net I think lex will do that too currently. Should be able to lock that down.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org (#ezmdswq) Looks good for me!

@thewismit@blog.thewismit.com @prologic@twtxt.net I too wonder about this.

@prologic@twtxt.net @thewismit@blog.thewismit.com () possible, or a pod following any feeds it finds, if any one follows or not. So it has more twts cached

@prologic@twtxt.net () Should be ready to merge with lex as opt-in option. Need more eyes on it and some clean up.

@prologic@twtxt.net @thewismit@blog.thewismit.com () Ya I get that error a lot. I mostly use the web on mobile as a result.

@thewismit@blog.thewismit.com Soo all good all round? 🤗

@prologic@twtxt.net that would be an interesting idea. I think your current spec of using an SMTP proto is probably best for DM.

but having a federation of IRC servers would be interesting for realtime twt propagation.

@prologic@twtxt.net the meta info on the top I added manually. it’s following what I have seen from some other twtxt feeds. the new parser will read them.

@prologic@twtxt.net Veri soon. I have a experimental runflag that I am just about to deploy to my node. I have a few show stoppers holding me back.

@prologic@twtxt.net Wow! Really interesting perspective! Thanks for sharing. :-)

@xuu@txt.sour.is Btw… I noticed your pod has some changed I’m not familiar with, for example you seem to have added metadata to the top of feeds. Can you enumerate the improvements/changes you’ve made and possibly let’s discuss contributing them back upstream? :D

@prologic@twtxt.net sometimes I think it would be nice to have a XMPP instance. then I remember it’s all XML and I think “nah.”

I am constantly in awe that IRC remains the only realtime chat that isn’t unnecessarily complex. name another that can run chatops bot with just nc and sh?

Signal Status

Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible.

One thing I’d like to have one day (and it would be nice if it were integrated into twtxt.net and other pods with a familiar and pleasant user experience on Desktop, Web and Mobile) is an e2e encrypted messaging that is self-hosted and federated that doesn’t suck operationally (so many complicated solutions that exist that are hard to setup even for a Senior DevOps/SRE)

@vain@www.uninformativ.dedd @lyse@lyse.isobeef.orgdd @prologic@twtxt.netdd Nope.. i have updated my gist to include the feeds listing. feeds.txt

@prologic@twtxt.net that seems to match my numbers. are you picking up the few gophers out there?

kinda makes me wonder about the ~300k you have cached. y’all got the library of alexandria over there.

Twtxt is still very much alive and well. I just wrote a quick tool to crawl as much of the Twtxt network as I could and here’s what the results are:

Crawled 516 feeds
Found 52464 twts

That means there are >500 unique Twtxt feeds/users, and over ~52k Twts posted to date. 😳

@prologic@twtxt.net in theory shouldn’t need to let users add feeds.. if they get mentioned by a tracked feed they will get added automagically. on a pod it would just need to scan the twtxt feed to know about everyone.

@prologic@twtxt.net sounds about right. I tend to try to build my own before pulling in libs. learn more that way. I was looking at using it as a way to build my twt mirroring idea. and testing the lex parser with a wide ranging corpus to find edge cases. (the pgp signed feeds for one)

Well, my twtxt reader is a bit too simple; drops who actually wrote the message before it’s printed. 🤦🏻

@prologic@twtxt.net the add function just scans recursivley everything.. but the idea is to just add and any new mentions then have a cron to update all known feeds

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it reads a seed file. I’m using mine. it scans for any mention links and then scans them recursively. it reads from http/s or gopher. i don’t have much of a db yet.. it just writes to disk the feed and checks modified dates.. but I will add a db that has hashs/mentions/subjects and such.

@prologic@twtxt.netd It is pretty basic, and depends on some local changes i am still working out on my branch.. https://gist.github.com/JonLundy/dc19028ec81eb4ad6af74c50255e7cee

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net very curious… i worked on a very similar track. i built a spider that will trace off any follows = comments and mentions from other users and came up with:

twters:  744
total:  52073

I just built a poc search engine / crawler for Twtxt. I managed to crawl this pod (twtxt.net) and a couple of others (sorry @etux@twt.u53.us and @xuu@txt.sour.is I used your pods in the tests too!). So far so good. I might keep going with this and see what happens 😀

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jointwt/we-are-twtxt/master/we-are-twtxt.txt | grep -v '^niplav ' | field 2 | xargs curl ^/dev/null | grep niplav here we go

@prologic@twtxt.net “What the hell does cartesianly mean?! 😳” Me inventing a new adjective for “there is only a one-way flow of information” ^^

Maybe I could write a script that trawls the we-are-twtxt list and notifies me when I’m mentioned–the name should be unique enough.

Disadvantage of twtxt: less incentives to reply to people since it’s not certain they’ll ever see it. My current solution to that is to follow everybody on the we-are-twtxt and only unfollow if they twt a lot of stuff I’m not interested in

@felixp7@twtxt.net “Yo, crypto-heads. Encrypted communication doesn’t protect your privacy. Laws …” I guess crypto-heads are often happy with acknowledging this, but also arguing that e.g. deniable crypto is a useful way out here (and, of course, just doing illegal stuff if it gets really rough).

apparently you can compose multi-line twtxt’s with txtnish but it won’t render them? maybe should patch it to support the line-break proposal here? https://dbohdan.com/wiki/twtxt-line-breaks

Okay, my #twtxt reader works-ish. Need to properly deal with timezones (and, um, maybe do any error checking).

I have a working model for the reader portion of what I want this twtxt client to do.

@prologic@twtxt.net I am trying to cut costs, so I deleted all my Digital Ocean droplets.

@vain@www.uninformativ.de the truth is, i never “got” or liked twitter. i think it’s way too noisy and a terrible way to have a conversation, what with the character limit and all. and then mastodon came along and i thought it would be different, but then it became too twitter-like. i get what you mean about twtxt and discoverability, that is one of its drawbacks.

@vain@www.uninformativ.de i don’t think mastodon is a good idea but then again i never really understood the twitter format and its appeal, so there’s that.

In case you’re reading my twtxt.txt file directly or are otherwise paying close attention to tweet dates, it’s absolutely true: I haven’t been funny in two months.

@prologic@twtxt.net that I do. lol. I am xuu on hackint.org and freenode

@prologic@twtxt.net sure. I don’t use signal much because I have to disclose my personal phone. Telegram? https://www.t.me/xypheri

@xuu@txt.sour.is Are you interested in getting on Signal and swapping contact details and such so we can discuss some ideas in collaboration in more real-time? You have great ideas, I think we could benefit from a bit more real(ish) time 😀

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net Your feed was great for catching edge cases ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net https://github.com/JonLundy/twtxt/tree/xuu/integrate-lextwt I made a stats command for the new parser that extracts a bunch of info about a twtxt file. run like: go run ./cmd/stats https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt

FOLLOW: @xuu@txt.sour.is from @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org using twtxt/1.2.3

@prologic@twtxt.net yep!some of the lexer is directly copied from monkey-lang. love that book series.

@prologic@twtxt.net ah I need to add an edge case for naked urls with fragments.

@prologic@twtxt.net yep. it actually extracts everything at parse time. like mentions/tags/links/media. so they can be accessed and manipulated without additional parsing. it can then be output as MarkDown

@adi@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net using regex. which can be a rather inexact science ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net kinda.. It can parse the twts into an AST.. but most of the formatting out expects a string to do regex over rather then the parsed AST. thats what i am working out next.

@prologic@twtxt.net as promised! https://github.com/JonLundy/twtxt/blob/xuu/integrate-lextwt/types/lextwt/lextwt_test.go#

the lexer is nearing completion.. the tough part left is rooting out all the formatting code.

the !zet I have written for my wiki is probably going to end up replacing what I’ve been using twtxt for these past few months. this means less spam here. you’re welcome.

@prologic@twtxt.netdd ooh I am adding that to my test suite
