@kas@enotty.dk, @skingrapher@skingrapher.com 8ball only checks users that are on we-are-twtxt and it does only checks for tweets since its last run. So it won’t catch new users that had questions for 8ball in the past.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I’ve thought you lived in Brazil, but right, Canada has also regions with -04:00 …
@phil@philmcclure.duckdns.org Can i add you the we-are-twtxt? And how does the telegram bit works? Never used telegram before … can you chat it up and it will post to twtxt?
@kas@enotty.dk, you were both winner and looser in the last bullseye! :)
@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx I like the visualization of the timeline. A static timeline of we-are-twtxt would be cool!
Weird, nobody has written a twtxt.el for #emacs yet?!
Meet the firehose at https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/firehose.txt. It publishes the complete timeline of we-are-twtxt every ten minutes. I’ll use it for my bots, so i don’t have to hit your feeds so often. Feel free to use it too!
@kas@enotty.dk Is that too cold or too warm? Also 9°C in Berlin, feels warm for me… :)
Altered carbon it is! I already read Seveneves … what are you reading at them moment?
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Do you mind if i steal some code from you with attribution?
@kas@enotty.dk Fermented slimy soybeans sounds like a hard sell. Maybe something you have to taste? :)
@allgebrah@www.synkretie.net I like the photo story!
@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Is you page publicly accessable? Maybe i should add exporting to html to #txtnish, seems like a thing many users wan to to?
@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de Just as an example how evil you can get. It’s not the new standard theme. Although…
@kas@enotty.dk Heh, cool video but it sounds like a bug? https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/5yeefj/alexa_are_you_connected_to_the_cia/depeufn/
Behold! color_nick=“red on_yellow blink” is now a thing! #txtnish
@dave@davebucklin.com You can always come to #twtxt on irc.freenode.org for help. Otherwise sh -x is always helpful.
Really liked A Closed and Common Orbit, nice to read a scifi story about character development! Next book: Arkwright by Allen Steele
#txtnish now requests gzipped pages if possible and you can call timeline with a single url to view the twtfile of someone you don’t follow.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Actually i forgot to push. Should be online now.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Okay, added the new subcommand.
@kas@enotty.dk bullseye just calculates sum(|140-length| for all tweets) / number of tweets
I just noticed that i still can win bullseye if write a short tweet for any long tweet i published. Maybe i have to rethink the game… :)
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net What do you mean by time based? I added syncing with we-are-twtxt in 6c2038 but it simply compares the result against the last run?
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net You have to set sync_followings to a remote plain text followings file. You can use we-are-twtxt, but any file will do. Better back up your followings before you test that. Seemed to work here, but who knows.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net At least you aren’t under the last three.
Say hello to @bullseye@domgoergen.com! A daily bot that counts your daily average deviation from 140 characters per tweet and declares winners and loosers.
@8ball@domgoergen.com will answer any question you ask him if the tweet ends with a question mark and only mentions the bot itself. It checks every 10 minutes.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Something cut of your link? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/25/australian-childrens-author-mem-fox-detained-by-us-border-control-i-sobbed-like-a-baby
@8ball@domgoergen.com Will twtxt take over the world?
@8ball@domgoergen.com Do we need a magie 8ball for twtxt?
@8ball@domgoergen.com Do we need a magic 8ball for twtxt?
@tux0r@rosaelefanten.org Welcome to twtxt!
I was the guy from https://xkcd.com/1806/ once, but working in an office where you have to switch workstations a lot will teach you.
@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de Couldn’t you just walk into a cafe and yell “Ok google search SOMETHING_EMBARASSING”? :)
Not that i ever had this problem… https://nolanlawson.com/2017/03/05/what-it-feels-like-to-be-an-open-source-maintainer/
@dave@davebucklin.com It’s probably https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195792, should be fixed for #txtnish
@dave@davebucklin.com Okay, i fixed the awk and xargs problem, but it seems awk on macosx is weird: printf “foo\n” | awk ‘{gsub(/[[:cntrl:]]/,” “);print}’ => ” f o o “
@dave@davebucklin.com Which os are you using? Can you chech if you also have this awk problem?
@benaiah@benaiah.me Welcome back!
@dave@davebucklin.com Welcome to twtxt, i take a look at txtnish on mac os x, should be easy to fix
@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de lynx -dump etc will not remove menus and cruft around the text you want to read. You still need to scroll around to find the content. .oO( I hope that’s what #rdr is doing :)
In case anyone missed http://n-gate.com/hackernews/ :)
@kas@enotty.dk Ah, #txtnish just dumps the latin-1 on your terminal. Not sure what i should do about that, but it’s probably okay. But it’s a good idea to test that!
Okay, i dumped the wget backend from #txtnish, curl works better and providing the same interface with both was hard.
Watched #citizenfour yesterday, i can’t believe how much you can forget in four years even if you’re technical and political interested!
One thing i really miss in posix shell is local. It’s so easy to pollute your namespace. Current solution is to use more pipes and subshells.
