@bender@twtxt.net You are totally correct! The thing is: The Caveman within was thinking how minimal can one go before things start to get too uncomfortable? And if cavemen weren’t supposed to be too self-conscious about their spelling, I could have just ssh remote echo "$(date -Is)\tTwt Twt Mother-Lover! 🤣🤣" >> /path/to/twtxt.txt and called it a day.
Just typing twts directly into my twtxt file.
Details:
- Opening my twtxt file remotely using
vim scp://user@remote:port//path/to/twtxt.txt
- Inserting the date, time and tab part of the twt with
:.!echo "$(date -Is)\t"
- In case I need to add a new line I just
Ctrl+Shift+u, type in the2028and hitEnter
- In order to replay, you just steal a twt hash from your favorite Yarn instance.
It looks tedious, but it’s fun to know I can twt no matter where I am, as long as can ssh in.
Look Ma, I can reply! 🤣🤣🤣
Holly! I thing I might have figured out a way to twt like a true caveman 🤣
The sad thing tho is this caveman will have to cheat a bit in order to replay properly…
(P.S: I hope the multi-lines trick works, if not then F..rog it!)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I guess r/unixporn got themselves a competition xD
@bender@twtxt.net Oh! It’s all good, I was planning on retiring my TheLounge instance anyways and will stick to connecting directly for the occasional chat when needed. Cheers! (Sorry for the belated reply.)
@zvava@twtxt.net This made my day. 🤣🤣🤣 And now I’m very tempted to printing this on a T-shirt 🤣 (It could be my very fist Silk screen print ever)
