@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Did we just have had a world-wide bonus summer day out of nowhere !!? It was dry and hot all day long in here as well and still is now at night.

@prologic@twtxt.net

What’s made you unlock twitch.tv?
A couple of events where my only choices for watching them are: Twitch, Youtube or Fartbook.
What are you doing differently?
TL;DR: I stopped going there unless I have to for the reason above.

I used to spend Waaaaay too much time on the platform. I had a whole setup using Streamlink, MPV and Chatterino where sometimes, I’d have up to 10 concurrent open streams all day long on a secondary monitor (thanks to tiling window managers’ magic), some I was interested in watching, some I moderated for a couple of friends and some I’ve had open just for support (helping new streamers in the community with their numbers till they take off and such). Theeen something happened to one of my loved ones, so I had to stop all the nonsense and spend that time and attention with the person who deserves it the most. I blocked the platform at first since I had a habit to type twit... as soon as I opened a browser 😅 (addiction is real) and now I don’t. (That reflex got replaced with typing twtxt... instead 😂)

@bender@twtxt.net Nobody would notice if stopped auto-syncing my twtxt file 3:) and If I’m careful enough I’d have plenty of time to fix my mess

@prologic@twtxt.net I can only tell you why I do xD although, I don’t need to anymore.

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net you mean This? if your browser doesn’t jump to the 00h26m56s time(-frame?) automatically you know where to look ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net HAHA, It was the right tool for the task. 😆👍

@prologic@twtxt.net I went in way too late for @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s presentation but just in time for the mosh-pit talk 🤘 I’ll have to dig through the Vods afterwards.

I ended up deploying an OpenGist instead! unlike MicroBin, the whole things went smoother than posting a twt 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net It has been ages since the last time yt-dl worked for me … maybe give yt-dlp a try?

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just seen that one as well as MicroBin on selfh.st , it looks prettier on your instance than it did on their live demo 😆. But I’ve already started playing around with microBin and will see how things go from there.

I guess I should setup some kind of past-bin or something, I bet somebody’s already angry about them last couple of long twts 😅 Sorry, not sorry! but I’ll try to fix that.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt No it’s all good… I’ve just rebuilt it from master and it doesn’t look like anything is broken:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What!? why would anyone Geo-lock a documentary about Foxes !!? 🤦

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org AWESOME! it’ll definitely come up handy… 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net Glad you could find it useful … as for like I’m glad they’re not a thing here xD otherwise we wouldn’t be having as much conversations going on in here. but I get it, and do appreciate it. 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net Gave it a try on Termux same thing @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt uses and it worked 👍

Don’t forget the --build-arg version="1.0.7" for example when building this one, although there isn’t much difference between the couple last versions.
P.S: I may have effed up changing htwtxt’s files directory to /srv/htwtxt when the command itself defaults to /root/htwtxt so you’ll have to throw in a -dir whenever you issue an htwtxt command (i.e: htwtxt -adduser somename:somepwd -dir /srv/htwtxt … etc)

@bender@twtxt.net I built my own, a much smaller one with a multi stage build… shouldn’t that do the trick? 🤔

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I tried to go install github.com/plomlompom/htwtxt@1.0.7 as well as

# this is snippet from what I used for the Dockerfile but I guess it should work just fine.
cd ~/go/pkg && wget -O htwtxt.tar.gz https://github.com/plomlompom/htwtxt/archive/refs/tags/1.0.7.tar.gz 
tar xf htwtxt.tar.gz && cd htwtxt-1.0.7 && go mod init htwtxt && go mod tidy && go install htwtxt

both worked just fine…

@bender@twtxt.net here… Enjoy 🦊🧡 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de been getting so sloppy my feed is slowly turning into a fox nursery, I might end up renaming it into nature-reserve.txt

@bender@twtxt.net highly probably, unless I learn go and implement it myself (or someone else more capable does) … but I’m so lazy I’d just copy them from twtxt.net and call it a day xD and yeah, it’s kinda rough the way things are…

• I don’t see a way to follow others, all I can do is go to the /feeds URI for a list of the server’s users/feeds.
  
• I still couldn’t figure out how to get a direct link to a user’s twtxt file, curling /feeds/usernick spits out a list of the user usernick twts, so I guess you could use that to follow them.
  
• no way to add in your # nick = usernick / # url = proto://domain.ltd/path/to/twtxt.txt …etc. Probably because that wasn’t part of the spec back then?
  

So yeah, it would make for a nice project while learning Go. :P

@bender@twtxt.net Yep! Twtxt spec by the letter I guess 🥲

Ever made an Oopsie, fixed it then Fuxed it up all over again? That’s clearly my queue to get AFK … Have a good one TWTXT!

well… 🦊

I’m getting way too comfortable with editing twts and fixing Eff’ ups… I gotta stop auto-syncing my twtxt file, at least I’ll have a breathing room for quick fixes when needed. I know, Michael Lucas might not approve of this but, I wouldn’t want the @yarn_police@twtxt.net in the middle of the night, right?

Alright, I gave #htwtxt container a quick spin. The thing lives and feels dead simple, like, echo -e “date -Im\tHello world!” >> twtxt.txt kind of simple but with a GUI. and I LOVE IT! Now let’s see if we can rebuild the image with the latest version of htwtxt.

@bender@twtxt.net + a 9 years old container image by the good ol’ buckket himself … not sure what to expect from that but will give it a quick spin and report back

@bender@twtxt.net I kinda fixed it, but there’s still a hell lot more than that still waiting to be fixed 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Aye Aye, Captain 🫡

@bender@twtxt.net 😆 Would calling it a Single user Twtxt "Yarn Pod **Like**" software help you sleep better at night? And just in case things are not clear here, I’m being sarcastic (well, kinda…) and not trying to gaslight anyone. Think of my comment as Bromance or something like that LOL.

But seriously, Just like any UNIX-Like system to Unix™, as in non of them are UNIX™, but each of them is providing more or less similar experience and re-implementing what once was parts of “UNIX™ software” their own (more or less better) ways. Timeline is Yarn™ Pod like, (my personal take on the word pod is: “an instance of XYZ software acting an escape POD from X-BS for… ABC reasons.”) providing more or less of a similar experience, implementing some of Yarn.social Extensions, trying to add in some more …etc.

Otherwise, I don’t see the Yarn pod mention as some kind of malicious manoeuvre, but more of a tribute to what (might have) sparked inspiration for creating Timeline? Also, our friend @sorenpeter@darch.dk here has got a valid reason for using PHP (#tms7aka) so let’s let’s put our unease towards the language itself aside and maybe just help however/as much as we can in order to make internet (the World?) a better place.

Ok, I’ve restored the misplaced twts … let’s just hope I didn’t make things worst xD

@bender@twtxt.net … a Twtxt Pod then 🤷

@bender@twtxt.net Haha! I assume you can’t see the original twt, let me quote for you so you know what I’m responding to:

2024-11-20T07:56:00-06:00 (#gjhq2xq) Hey! I tried running Timeline on my server with the default PHP version (8.3) and it’s giving me a few errors https://eapl.me/timeline/ I should be sending a PR soon to fix it ;)
source: eaplme’s twtxt file.

Also, it’s running on a RPi and slow AF so, brace yourselves for them Server Timeouts 😅

I’ve just unlocked access to my /timeline if anyone has been trying to access it earlier.

@eapl.me@eapl.me adding public $timestamp; to the class Twt in libs/twtxt.php (line 25) fixed that for me but probably broken something else 😅 …

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de exactly! 😂 I accidentally duplicated a twt and deleted it as fast as I can, hoping nobody pulled the feed by then.

@bender@twtxt.net > which feed of his are you following? the .mx or the .me one? I was replaying to THIS TWT

Ok, hopefully nobody did pull that 🦊⬆ 😅

@eapl.me@eapl.me Yeah, that’s exactly why I’m asking. I’ve been having a couple of errors here and there even though I’m using PHP 8.2 … Mostly somethings about undefined array keys and creation of dynamic properties being deprecated (CC: @sorenpeter@darch.dk )

Sweeet! and yeah, I’ve been trying to figure the formatting thing out (amongst other things lol) it looks like the mere presence of a # sign creates new links and breaks others.

@prologic@twtxt.net Not much Other than playing around with @soren@darch.dk ’s Timeline … it’s been quite fun so far. (I’m twting from there by the way 😁)

Morning, be good!

Hey @sorenpeter@darch.dk what version of PHP do you run Timeline on?

@bender@twtxt.net HAHAHAHA xD I’ll do my best and try not to forget chanting: “Sic transit gloria mundi” as I package it for shipping.

@bender@twtxt.net You’d be surprised how many lifetime old accounts I still have, scattered all over the internet. I just don’t have much energy to go through deleting each and every single one of them. xD and here is a bonus image for LOLs

So long Blue Birdy 👋 it was a … Never mind, GTFO of my life already! 😆

@bender@twtxt.net I still have my Famicom from when I was 5 or so and this makes me think I might get away with selling it’s manual for pretty money instead of just framing it and hanging by the desk … wanna buy it? 😂
