@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.
@mdosch@mdosch.de: Yes. I first thought gopher would be a good protocol for this purpose. But HTTP has the advantage, that you don’t always need to fetch the whole file. You can do a HEAD and check for last-modified header.
@mdosch@mdosch.de: Yes, #txtnish uses curl and can therefore handle all curl supported protocols.
@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.
@nblade@nblade.sdf.org: Check my tw.txt file. The specification does not allow a comment. I’ve added this now: 1970-01-01T01:00:00.000000Z▸FF:https://codevoid.de/tw.following.txt. I’d use the special date/time + FF: comment as trigger. This is backwards compatible and shouldn’t really come up in anyones’ timeline.
I just read that more than 140 chars are prohibited per twtxt specification. Oops.
@nblade@nblade.sdf.org: Either that, or provide URL to a follower file: #followfile https://codevoid.de/tw.following.txt
@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.
@nblade@nblade.sdf.org: It’s just an idea. Not a clean one thoug, as clients would not know upfront who serves such a fiele and who not. Another idea would ne to mix a number of random followers into the twtxt file, which are updated when a person tweets.
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org It’s not really live. Check my ‘File Storage’ on gopher :-)
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Have fun in captcha hell :(
Any thoughts about decentralized ways to discover twtxt users? I’ve set up https://codevoid.de/tw.following.txt which is my following list plus whatever comes in via user-agent. If everybody would set this up with the with an added .following we could fetch each others list and discover users that way.
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Really? I’m super happy with DDG. But I haven’t heard of searx as of now.
@mdom@domgoergen.com Shall we have an additional twtxt list: we-are-onion.txt? I’m here http://codevoid4p3lowez.onion/?q=twtxt
@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”
@nblade@nblade.sdf.org Most programmers are just users that are writing/maintaining programs. Most can’t even handle the underlying OS, let alone a Network or 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.
My twtxt file is now also available without emoji variable: https://codevoid.de/?q=twtxt
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net My take on this is… let’s let people ruin the web. Let centralized services control everything. But let us tech savvy people stick together and provide an alternative space for us. A space that’s welcoming to those that want to join and learn. Maybe people will come over when their online actions show real life consequences. There are statistics about decreasing social media use in Generation Z. Maybe they want to learn from us Internet-Dinosaurs :)
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net This is completely contrary to what people want. People don’t care about how something works. They want to use something that’s premade and that they can use without learning anything about it. Decentralization is a technical Detail, nobody cares about. Just like security or freedom. It’s all nice to have if it comes for free, no time investment and no convenience cuts. So the only way to establich decentralization is by making it better, cheaper and easier to use than centralized services. #sadtruth

@metamurks@www.metamurks.org I have tried several times to learn Morse Code. Sadly, I keep having distractions.
@mdom@domgoergen.com: I’m using txtnish on FreeBSD and I had to switch it to gawk (not sure why BSD awk fails) and disable color. Just fyi. I didn’t look into it any further.
I always thought about putting together some sort of micro-blog/journal where I can post my daily brainfarts and list them on my webpage. Now, after adding twtxt to my page I have exactly that. It’s kind of cool.
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Thanks! Programming gopher://taz.de was the most fun i had in ages. And it was for work! Kind of. :)
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org If you use imap s-nail is way ahead of mail, but for local mail, uhm, mail is just fine.
@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for #hugo awards. All books for best novel were really good this year, but I somehow missed Six Wakes … sound great!

@kas@enotty.dk Have to say the peertube is intersting. Too bad I don’t have a serveto play with it.
@derkirch@derkirche.blinkenshell.org Am curious how this experiment will work. 😃
@tux0r@rosaelefanten.org > 1 / 0 = 0 Frome my point if view this is not zero but infinite.
please do not abuse the open nature of this twtxt account, it will be monitored and moderated if necessary - this is an experiment in internet open-ness
NO MORE TESTING - LETS GET REAL - Its now possible to post to this twtxt from irc://irc.maddshark.com:7029/discord
THIS IS A TEST OF THE TWTXT BROADCASTING SYSTEM! THIS IS ONLY A TEST!
Hi @KatolaZ@kalos.mine.nu! Welcome to twtxt!
Hi @KatolaZ@kalos.mine.nu! Welcome to twtxt!
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Also you can still MITM https with a locally trusted cert for the mitming instance like McAffe does in a lot of company proxies. I think this could also be used for caching proxies.
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org I can understand this is annoying when you have a very bad connection, but I would sign Mike Loukides’ comment on that site.
@kas@enotty.dk Have you done something with nncp? I like the idea, but somehow i don’t find a use case for it… :)

@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Changes to my SDF account are the issue I’m sure.
@metamurks@www.metamurks.org Uh, it is very unlikely an upgrade fails so hard it really needs an reinstall. What happened? Power loss?

@kas@enotty.dk thanks for that link. Thats a pretty neat thing.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net that is odd, I wonder what happened.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I don’t see an URL.
@tx@shroom.party Welcome back 😃
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net yeah, seems like it works again today. Yesterday they had no more quieries left.

@tux0r@rosaelefanten.org Colors? Where?
I changed the code of #goxtxt (my #twtxt #xmpp bot) a little bit. If all went good there should be no change in functionality but it is no more depending on #head and #grep.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net you’ll probably have a lot of 404 on /wp-admin if you don’t use WordPress. 😂
