Did you enjoy the episode, @david@post.aldebaran.uberspace.de? Any good rants by Tim or Clemens? Was #twtxt mentioned? :)

Already three of ten children sick at our daycare. Keep your fingers crossed.

Yeah! I’m also a frequent listener, @david@post.aldebaran.uberspace.de, but i never have the time to listen to the live podcast for four hours…

@quite@lublin.se Ah sorry, should have checked the commit. #twet is officially the first twtxt client with colors! :)

Thanks @kdave@kdave.github.io for the new default colors. And colored hashtags are also a thing now. And text wrapping at 76 characters. #txtnix

You have to set use_color = 1 and display_format = pretty to get colorized output in #txtnix.

The colors are configurable with a new configuration block: [color] nick = bright_yellow time = red on_green mention = grey10

Does anybody have a good idea for a default color set? I used the first color that crossed my mind, so the default theme is rather ugly.

@quite@lublin.se Woah, we both implemented ANSI color support for #twet and #txtnix at the same time!

// follow david http://post.aldebaran.uberspace.de/twtxt/david.txt

// unfollow david http://htwtxt.plomlompom.com/feeds/david

Should be very use to implement user defined templates if anybody needs it.

And there’s –new to just show the new tweets since the last time you called timeline.

#txtnix now has a –pretty and –simple for the timeline and view subcommands and a config option display_format that defaults to simple.

The pretty format is very similar to twtxt without the unicode glyphs and the relative date.

Thanks @kas@enotty.dk, I just bought it and copied it on my reader! Never heard of the book before.

Definitely worth a read: Myths about /dev/urandom http://www.2uo.de/myths-about-urandom/.

@kas@enotty.dk Read them both and loved them! Though I don’t know why Stephenson added that strange appendix to an otherwise great book.

@ColtonDRG@twtxt.coltondrg.com digitalocean.com has FreeBSD servers for $0.007 the hour. And you can use the PromoCode DeveloperTea for $10 credit.

If you want to try #txtnix, now is the time with the new installation guide https://github.com/mdom/txtnix#installation

My next book will be Darwinia by the same author. Any good tips what to read after that? #books

@kas@enotty.dk I’m at the tenth episode know and it just gets better and better. And it’s shockingly political acurate for television. #westwing

I highly recommend The Chronoliths by Robert Wilson. The Spin series is also great, though i was a little disappointed by the last book.

Should i really deploy code to prod that already broke it twice? Tests look good, but they also did the last time…

Bug bug bug bug bug / new build all should be fixed / bug bug bug bug bug

We just started to watch The West Wing a week ago. No idea how I could have overlooked it for 17 years, it’s so good!

You can at least go sledding @kas@enotty.dk! It’s been raining for hours in Berlin. #weather

@buckket@buckket.org I wonder if you can already see traffic coming in from the heise forums? :)

If connected to a pipe #txtnix tweet will now read tweets from STDIN. Will it now be too easy to spam the #twtxt network? :)

Oh my, we probably need to a way to add multiple twturls. People are now using three different urls for my twtfile.

#txtnix will now add a tenth of a second between tweets to enforce strict ordering between tweets.

Although i probably should add a second between each line so that sorting the tweets still works.

@reednj@reednj.com Yeah, something like that.

It’s so much easier to stay under the 140 character limit when vim is showing you the column you’re in.

#txtnix now calls an editor if you provide no argument to tweet. Every line in then tweeted as a seperate tweet.

@david And there are no problems with shell quoting! And especially with history expansion when using an exclamation mark.

What do you think?

This could be a way to discover other twtxt users more easily. Clients could ignore such lines in the timeline if wanted.

I’m contemplating a announce_following option, disabled by default, to to anounce follow and unfollow commands in your twtfile.

Haha, haven’t heard that one: “#1 rule of distribute computing: Don’t distribute your computing!” https://m.signalvnoise.com/29166d022228

/me wonders in which world autocorrecting spelling errors during tab-completion is sane? https://github.com/mrzool/bash-sensible

Yay, Hacker Newsletter 290 arrived!

We’re planning to write one ourselves but i wanted to check the alternatives first.

Can anybody recommend a webbased ldap account manager other than lamcms that can run custom scripts?

You can even just call txtnit register to register at your friendly neighborhood’s registry.

#txtnix now has support for all registry endpoints, you can query tags, tweets, mentions and users.

@reednj@reednj.com Would you mind adding this functionality to your registry?

If you’re registered with reednj, would you mind being automatically added the a registry? Is reednj just the registry that won? :)

Already registered with ?
