@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is so real… i think we need to bring back topic focused groups but like with a little off topic side of things just in case people wanna go off topic. so the option’s there but the intent is the topic! microblogging isn’t best for this yeah. i think this is part of why IRC still goes strong for many tech people
@prologic@twtxt.net i gave up on trying to get my local branch clean and just git clone’d main into a new directory and built from there LMAOOO it was such a mess i’m not good at git
i saw your commits fixing queue issues, fingers crossed it works on my end!
@bender@twtxt.net It’s like having good manners at the table. Use forks and knives. ;-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de This suits the background image perfectly.
@bender@twtxt.net Baaaaaah 😂
These are ideal working conditions:
@movq@www.uninformativ.de welcome to a (for us, Floridians) “fresh day” temperature! Soon the daily rains will come, so it will be even hotter, and humid, and sticky. Lovely, eh? LOL.
Confession:
I’ve never found microblogging like twtxt or the Fediverse or any other “modern” social media to be truly fulfilling/satisfying.
The reason is that it is focused so much on people. You follow this or that person, everybody spends time making a nice profile page, the posts are all very “ego-centric”. Seriously, it feels like everybody is on an ego-trip all the time (this is much worse on the Fediverse, not so much here on twtxt).
I miss the days of topic-based forums/groups. A Linux forum here, a forum about programming there, another one about a certain game. Stuff like that. That was really great – and it didn’t even suffer from the need to federate.
Sadly, most of these forums are dead now. Especially the nerds spend a lot of time on the Fediverse now and have abandoned forums almost completely.
On Mastodon, you can follow hashtags, which somewhat emulates a topic-based experience. But it’s not that great and the protocol isn’t meant to be used that way (just read the snac2 docs on this issue). And the concept of “likes” has eliminated lots of the actual user interaction. ☹️
I’m keeping this color scheme on my laptop for now:
@andros@twtxt.andros.dev You know, I’d really love to see how/if location-based addressing works in practice. I might fork jenny to judy and run both things in parallel for a while … 🤔
So, we’re at roughly 30°C now and my brain is in lala land. 🥵☹️
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org there are times that it works out to reply to the “flat” conversation, if it fully relates, or the participants are few, or if the strict topic is kept. When there are too many people, or too many topics being spit out, then forking constantly is the way to go. I am a strong proponent of forking. It’s like telling the rest, “you debate that there, I will take this one aside”.
3rvya6q and your feed, but your feed certainly does not include that particular twt (it comes from my feed).
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oooooohhhhhh, I see. Hmmmm.
To answer your question: Ideally, you would have replied directly to my reply. :-) The flat conversation model always felt unnatural to me. I just yielded to the community’s way of doing it.
@bender@twtxt.net Saw it this morning and I was like “say what now”. 😂 I certainly can’t beat that. 😂
(Also, cute name. The “-le” suffix is a German diminutive, so it means “little OS”. 😃)
@@twtxt.net The fact that it has an SDK and process management is quite amazing g! 🤯
This is up @movq@www.uninformativ.de ally, a tiny OS that runs in a boot sector. That’s, it’s only 510 bytes! But check it out, and see what it can do. Truly amazing. Can you beat that?!
I’ve just released version 1.0 of twtxt.el (the Emacs client), the stable and final version with the current extensions. I’ll let the community maintain it, if there are interested in using it. I will also be open to fix small bugs.
I don’t know if this twt is a goodbye or a see you later. Maybe I will never come back, or maybe I will post a new twt this afternoon. But it’s always important to be grateful. Thanks to @prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de @eapl.me@eapl.me @bender@twtxt.net @aelaraji@aelaraji.com @arne@uplegger.eu @david@collantes.us @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt @xuu@txt.sour.is @sorenpeter@darch.dk for everything you have taught me. I’ve learned a lot about #twtxt, HTTP and working in community. It has been a fantastic adventure!
What will become of me? I have created a twtxt fork called Texudus (https://texudus.readthedocs.io/). I want to continue learning on my own without the legacy limitations or technologies that implement twtxt. It’s not a replacement for any technology, it’s just my own little lab. I have also made a fork of my own client and will be focusing on it for a while. I don’t expect anyone to use it, but feedback is always welcome.
Best regards to everyone.

3rvya6q and your feed, but your feed certainly does not include that particular twt (it comes from my feed).
@movq@www.uninformativ.de No problems 🤗
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Whoop, whoop! Congrats 🥳
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Kind of, but on the other hand: This twt right here refers to 3rvya6q and your feed, but your feed certainly does not include that particular twt (it comes from my feed).
But my proposal probably isn’t very helpful, either. We have this flat conversation model, so … this twt right here, what should it refer to? Your twt? My root twt? I don’t know.
@prologic@twtxt.net Don’t include this just yet. I need to think about this some more (or drop the idea).
git checkout main && git pull && make build. Few bug fixes 😄
@bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Please git pull and rebuild 😂 Off of main. I merged the catcher branch already!
git checkout main && git pull && make build. Few bug fixes 😄
@bender@twtxt.net LMAOOO
git checkout main && git pull && make build. Few bug fixes 😄
@prologic@twtxt.net done! hey i got a question, you got any clue why my feeds aren’t updating? maybe it has to do with the new cache flag but i messed with that a bit and didn’t notice a difference. basically it’s like i have to manually restart yarnd to see new posts it’s really weird lol
git checkout main && git pull && make build. Few bug fixes 😄
@prologic@twtxt.net I can hear the moans of regret already. They are loud, and steady. 😅
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @xuu@txt.sour.is Recommend you git checkout main && git pull && make build. Few bug fixes 😄
it seems i do have to restart my instance to re-queue feeds or something so i definitely fucked up migration to v16 lol
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com oh fuck yea snac would be a good use of that! makes me wanna do the same… GTS also has a new profile view for profiles that shows only images which makes it great as a photo posting place
ya girl’s a contract sysadmin now!!!!!!!! https://bsky.app/profile/fujocoded.bsky.social/post/3lo4yd57rbs23
The main reason I named my new pet machine Ephemera, is because I don’t trust SSD/NVMe’s … it’s always just a matter of time before everything goes to sh…rimps.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de When I reply to a message, I typically already mention the feed. Just like in this very message. I believe this mechanism should work for most replies. But there are of course the odd responses where I do not mention the original feed, but rather some other feed(s) instead to which I actually want to reply. Maybe “forking”, as prologic calls it, would be the better option there.
I visited a good mate after a day in the office and went for a stroll in the evening. It still was really hot, phew, about 24°C. Must have been the aftermath of the fire in the morning! For sure! The firealarm went off during a meeting and we all had to leave the building. Anyway, I only managed to take one lizard photo, all the other ones we came across immediately vanished in the brush or cracks in the vineyard walls. The kestrels were way more cooperative:
@bender@twtxt.net You’re kind of right though 😄 It makes it more engaging IMO 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net hahahahaha! No, no, no. Every word has its use. But for things like these I like certain reactions. For example, I would have given a “thumbs down” to the original twtxt, and done with it. Now, composing a reply, to simply say “no, thank you.”, that I don’t like. It seems a waste of space, and it doesn’t “look good”. I like to see at least 140 characters! Ha!
“Monosyllabic replies” refers to responses that consist of a single syllable. These types of replies are typically brief and concise, often used in situations where a simple, direct answer is given. Examples include words like “Yes,” “No,” “Okay,” or “Sure.”
😂 Can I imply you’re not interested in things like “LIke”, “Report”, etc?! 😂
@bender@twtxt.net I knew you wouldn’t be interested in a Twtxt+ActivityPub 😂 Now I have to go figure out what “monosyllabic replies” means 🤣
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Shall I add this to the spec I’m writing? ✍️
up -d, but then I took a look at a couple of #Snac instances at the last second and they looked pretty dope! Now I'm stuck in my own head 😅
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com which snac instance did you see that looked pretty dope? On the ones I saw in the past, I found their web frontend to be rather messy (even more so on mobile).
yarnd v0.16 is released and the next round of specification updates are done and dusted, who wants me to have another crack at building Twtxt and activity pub integration support?
@prologic@twtxt.net not me. I hate monosyllabic replies, specifically on the written medium, so I am just typing this to make it longer. But that doesn’t change the truth, and that is, I don’t want, nor care, about twtxt, and Activity Pub integration. 😅
Hehe! it’s done! 🤡
After yarnd v0.16 is released and the next round of specification updates are done and dusted, who wants me to have another crack at building Twtxt and activity pub integration support?
You know what, I can always run a separate Snac instance alongside the GTS one later on if I want to, maybe even use it for sharing Phtography stuff… a pixelfed alternative on budget kind of thing. 🤡
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s what I was going for at first, I already have my compose file to go up -d, but then I took a look at a couple of #Snac instances at the last second and they looked pretty dope! Now I’m stuck in my own head 😅
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com gotosocial is epic
So… I wanna take a stab at the #ActivityPub bee hive, but I’m not sure what to pick up, a #Gotosocial pocket knife or a #Snac2 bamboo stick? Any thoughts?
i don’t think any of you know what a fan listing is but basically it was a fandom thing in the 2000s where people would make websites that other people could sign up for to show they’re a fan of something. more info here.
anyway i made a fan listing kinda thing in PHP to learn the language. it was fun af
if clauses to this. My point is: Every time I see a hash, I’d like to have a hint as to where to find the corresponding twt.
The reason I think this can work so well and I’m in full support of it is that it’s the least disruptive way to resolve the issue of:
where did this hash come from?
if clauses to this. My point is: Every time I see a hash, I’d like to have a hint as to where to find the corresponding twt.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think we can make this work 👌 As long as it’s just a client hint.
@bender@twtxt.net It’s great if I’m sitting on the balcony and horrible otherwise. Gah.
