@abucci@anthony.buc.ci totally my fault sorry 😞

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂

There are 5 of such “Twters” on this pod that have periods in their nick 😢

sqlite> select count(distinct(nick)) from twters where nick like '%.%';
count(distinct(nick)) = 5
sqlite> select distinct(nick) from twters where nick like '%.%';
 nick = @marado@ciberlandia.pt

 nick = eapl.me

 nick = eapl.mx

 nick = grumpygordie.great-site.net

 nick = @chyrp.doesnm.cc

I’ll see if I can fix this and write a test case for what’s going on here. I think this is made difficult now because folks like @eapl.me@eapl.me decide that it’s okay to have a . (period) in their # nick 🤣 tbh I think nick(s) should have rules of what they can and cannot be comprised of. i.e: no punctuation 🤦‍♂️

Whereas @movq@www.uninformativ.de @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and @bender@twtxt.net are all cool 😎

That’s kind of weird actually. Hmmm @ @ and @bender@twtxt.net are all cool 😎

@bender@twtxt.net This story just reminds me of the couple of times we’ve paid for things in cash 💰 💲 and the stupid banks with the ridiculous “scam alert policy” ask you all kind of dumb ass questions about what you need the cash for 🤦‍♂️ One of these days I need an excuse to buy something that costs a few $k just so I can answer when asked, “what do you need the cash for?” to which my response will be “drugs and hookers of course!” 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Sounds good to me! Done ✅ Also you did some, so thanks! 🙏

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Remind me alter 🙏

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Because I’m a lazy project manage and I haven’t grooomed the backlog in a while 🤣 Since you’re there, do you mind cleaning it up for me? 🙏

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz creating habits or rituals as hard, dropping ones that you no longer need or considered harmful is even harder! Good luck! 🙏

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s what she said 🤣

Responded to a bunch of Twtxt open issues across multiple repositories today 👌

@bender@twtxt.net You said:

as long as those working on clients can reach an agreement on how to move forward. That has proven, though, to be a pickle in the past.

I think this is because we probably need to start thinking about three different aspects to the ecosystem and document them out:

• Specifications (as they are now)
  
• Server recommendations (e.g: Timeline, yarnd, etc)
  
• Client recommendations (e.g: jenny, tt, tt2, twet, etc)

@bender@twtxt.net wut?! Who carries three grand worth of cash in their handbag?! 👜 Haha 😆

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Bahahaha so do it all the time 🤣

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Some good points here that I share and empathize with 🙌

@bender@twtxt.net I see hmmm 🧐

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Zulu said:

what is twtxt for you?

For me Twtxt is just the underlying format that Yarn.social builds upon 😅

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Ahh cool! I’ll try following it again 🤣 Mind @-mentioning/linking@twtxt.net the feed again? 🙏

Also what’s a, who’s the Pope? 😅

@quark@ferengi.one I know! I saw three Hacker News posts on it in a row 🤣

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Haha 🤣 We’ve explored this idea in the past and we decided that it’s actually a good idea to have an “append-only” feed for various reasons. We’ve also explored the idea of using Range requests, but opted instead to just archive/rotate our feeds periodically 😅 There really isn’t much point in having a feed in reverse chronological order, except (maybe?) so a human read view the new twts at the top of the file?! 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net This is just a website that cycles through random Youtube channels? 🤔

I guess mentions with .(s) / dot(s) like @eapl.me@eapl.me are valid? 🤔 Or nicks even? 🤔

Fark Youtube is so utterly boring 🥱

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh yes you caught me 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net Not copy/paste 🤣 Hand on heart! ❤️ However it was a pretty nice article 😅

Getting Forked by Microsoft • Philip Laine 👈 Yet another pretty sad story of a megacorp (Microsoft) being total assholes 😢

Regex Isn’t Hard - Tim Kellogg 👈 this is a pretty good conscience article on regexes, and I agree, regex isn’t that hard™ – However I think I can make the TL;DR even shorter 😅

Regex core subset (portable across languages):

Character sets
• a matches “a”
• [a-z] any lowercase
• [a-zA-Z0-9] alphanumeric
• [^ab] any char but a or b

Repetition (applies to the preceding atom)
• ? zero or one
• * zero or more
• + one or more

Groups
• (ab)+ matches “ab”, “abab”, …
• Capture for extract/substitute via $1 or \1

Operators
• foo|bar = foo or bar
• ^ start anchor
• $ end anchor

Ignore non‑portable shortcuts: \w, ., {n}, *?, lookarounds.

#regex101

@bender@twtxt.net No worries 😉

There we go. Restored all the old settings 👌

@bender@twtxt.net Lemme look at the old backup…

@bender@twtxt.net

I am up to increase the length of a twtxt, though.

Recall what we had this set to for this pod? 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Really? Wow! 😂

@bender@twtxt.net Hah 🤣

Just had a freak storm ⛈️ with lots of horizontal rain ☔️ that took out and tripped our internal RCD (again) 😱 Took out our Fibre too (servers were fine, good ‘ol UPS). Need to get a UPS for the Fibre box 📦 Haha 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So cool! 😎 Where’s the time lapse video you used to have of this tree? 🌳 Hmm 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I know 🤣 I found another bug in lextwt 🤦‍♂️ This whole DM / bang-mention thingy has thrown a spanner in the works 🔧 – Even if I wanted to implement it, I’m not even ready to try at the moment 😢

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz (as I was trying to say…), Glad you think so👌 My goal with Yarn.social has always been to provide the best (best that I can anyway) truly decentralised (slow) social experience that uses the Twtxt format under the hood 😅

@xuu@txt.sour.is As I also mentioend on IRC I think this is a. bug?

Holy hell?! When I post this:

Something is swallowing it.

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Glad you think so! 👌 My goal with Yarn.social has always been to provide the best (best that I can anyway!) truly decentralised (slow) social experience that uses the Twtxt format under the hood 😅

What if I do this…

Nope hmmm

What about here?

Okay they’re not here…

Why are my replies getting swallowed?! 🤔
