Do I need to do a search and replace on my feed to fix old entries? Thanks for quick fix!

@adi@f.adi.onl Yes, it did—at least I don’t see the same issue as before on twtxt.net. Weird, as it was never an issue on other pods. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Jérôme Poisson: Libervia progress note 2021-W38
Hello,

it’s time for a new progress note. The work is currently focused on ActivityPub Gateway, and progress has been done on pubsub cache search and the base component.

Next to the pubsub cache implementation, it was necessary to have a good way to search among items.

So far, Libervia was doing pubsub search using pubsub service’s capabilities, and notably the [XEP-0431](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0 … ⌘ Read more

My searx instance has changed domains
For those that use my SearX instance (which was formerly searx.lukesmith.xyz, I have now relocated it to searx.cedars.xyz, so if you use it as a default search engine, remember to change its url.

For those who don’t know what SearX is, it’s a metasearch engine that polls whatever search engines you want and aggregates the results. It is free software that can be installed by anyone on any server.

@prologic@twtxt.net why do I see https://twtxt.net/search?tag=d5sj7ba as twtxt source in your tweets? This is not a text file…

@xuu@txt.sour.is Is this of any use? https://libretranslate.com/ – Congrats on the new job!

”@niplav (#kfgri5a) There are no expectations when you’re honest. Expectations and honesty don’t mix.” -> I honestly wasn’t expecting that answer :)

Sure. I think search, if it’s going to exist, should be the client’s responsibility. But I also value the readability of the raw twtxt file a lot more than y’all do.

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk “@niplav (#xvbnyma) Fascinating. :-) Suspect #RMS would have a violent physical reaction – accompanied by some salty language – after even a moment’s contemplation of life under such complicity. :-D” -> He is a very unreasonable man <3

I actually haven’t yet, it’s just easy enough to manually prepend the subject for now, if I skip the search URL. 🤣 I’ll do it properly eventually.

@prologic@twtxt.net Exactly, but that reduces the argument for URLs in the post. The client should figure out how to search based on the hashtag.

@prologic@twtxt.net @anth Sounds like a good idea. The hash to conv/search url should stay local to a pod.

@prologic@twtxt.net @anth Sounds like a good idea. The hash to conv/search url should stay local to a pod.

@prologic@twtxt.netYes, I think tags should just be #foo, and let the client figure out searching if it cares.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes, I often read the raw messages. But more to the point, the simplicity of the format is the bulk of the appeal.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No argument that threading is an improvement. But I think (#hash) does that, and I think figuring out how to search should mostly be up to the client.

I don’t have any issue with the (foo) subjects, it’s the proliferation of the (foo url) tags. They’re just too long and ugly.

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk “@niplav (#4qeibma) Hadn’t heard of this; thanks for the tip! Been getting lost in your text reviews; the Benatar piece piqued my interest: I’d been reading a critique of his earlier work – in Overall’s Why Have Children? – that really wasn’t up to scratch. Now I’m reading about pure replicators, which is a new concept, to me. :-)” -> Nice :-) Looking over my text reviews, they’re not quite finished (especially the Benatar one), so take it with a grain of salt

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just never had it be a rewarding experience.

Hey @xuu@txt.sour.is another mention that didn’t render ☝️

@thewismit@twtxt.psynergy.io Hey! It’s easy. Just install the twt CLI with something like:

go get github.com/jointwt/twtxt/cmd/twt/...

Then use it in some hooks/scripts to post some content to your Pod.

@prologic@twtxt.net speaking of complexity.. How would checking twts for sub conversations complexify things?

@prologic@twtxt.net would that need a NLP library? The lang would be great for a search engine to find language prefs.

but if we kept things simple stupid I how would the poor little darlings in middle-management have a job? 😂

@xuu@txt.sour.is Speak of lang… Do you think we could detect the user’s lang by what they write? Probably just inspect a random subset?

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 😀

@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.

@deadguy @prologic@twtxt.net been stewing on a discovery proto for twtxt. support for defining multiple ways to host/mirror a twtxt file. while being low tech enough to still be scriptable with basic Unix commands.

@prologic@twtxt.net Txtnish adds a 28 character timestamp to the message, so in Bash: tweet=tail -1 the current twtxt.txt file and then pipe echo body=${tweet:28} to twt.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have some ideas to improve on twtxt. figure I can contribute some. 😁 bit more work and it will almost be a drop in replacement for ParseFile

Kinda wish types.Twt was an interface. it’s sooo close.

@xuu@txt.sour.is Not too happy with WKD’s use of CNAME over SRV for discovery of openpgpkey.. That breaks using SNI pretty quick. I suppose it was setup as a temporary workaround anyhow in the RFC..

@prologic@twtxt.net (#https://twtxt.net/search?tag=tsvhqdq OK. Im upgrading my tools. twtxt works pretty well inside an Emacs shell window…

and then ignore it “notmuch search not tag:unsubscribe and date:yesterday..”

in the original twtxt your URL is your identity. No need for anyone outside your control to do account managment. One reason I’ll likely be sticking with command line. But, great work

FWIW, I put up a quick blog last night about using twtxt command line https://eludom.github.io/blog/hello_twtxt/

What flavor or regexp? I tried here https://regexr.com/ with both PCRE and JavaScript and neither seems quite right. I’m relatively good with regexps, but they tend to be write-only :-/

yes. I read that. Nice post. Brave browser at least has trouble with formatting. The regexp got lost when renederd. Eww (emacs text browser) doees just fine with it :-)

as the person who motivated CompuServe’s USENET gateway https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1994-10-07-9410070309-story.html I’ve see what happens when the unwashed masses are turned loose in techie playgrounds

One very real problem to be aware of is “Eternal September” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

one problme I’m seeing already is that the “micro” part is loosing out. Things are routinely getting longer than 140 characters

@prologic@twtxt.net I will probably stick with command line client just to make sure it keeps working

@prologic@twtxt.net and the fact that I just used /bin/ed to fix spelling before pushing :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net also the lack of a login and complete decntralization is a big win.

@prologic@twtxt.net twtxt is so simple one could read with netcat, cat and tail. I like that.

@prologic@twtxt.net For now I think I will stay with primitave tools.

Another cool advantage of keeping everything in text files is how fast the search indexer of operating systems gives you results.

@lyxal@twtxt.net My thoughts exactly! :-D

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.

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]].

After various attempts to grep for Tss and whatnot, current plan is to just try to binary-search writes to protected memory in the kernel.

@kas@enotty.dk What do you mean by ‘it’? Twtxt? Txtnish? For my bot I actually wanted this behavior when filtering for mentions to also find @mdosch., @mdosch, or (@mdosch). Maybe I should limit it to ignore only one symbol after the search term.

/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Also yes, a simple string search would be fine. I’m not JS-savvy enough to be sure, but I guess it would work a bit like tags?

/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Regarding potential new features, maybe some kind of search box? And is there a way to embed images or other media?
