Well, I don’t use Yarn/Twtxt.net anymore, although I read the homepage a few times a week to catchup on anything interesting.

Nowadays I barely twt from my PHP instance. I got to say that is more “convenient” reading from twtxt.net that on my instance.

My current feeling is that is too niche to find something interesting, being about personal growth, professional or even entertaining. There is not enough people and/or interesting topics to be engaged on. The network effect of people making content is missing IMO. Although I have a similar feeling of any other microblogging, it’s too superficial to have a meaningful conversation.
Sadly in this ecosystem I’ve found no one twting on Spanish, and having conversations in English is not so easy to me.

And about local communities, I tried to invite friends and colleagues, but no one created their instance or joined to Yarn. Even the local Mastodon instance has 3 members (myself included), so I think creating a hipster microblogging is not as easy as looked at the start.

It’s again a decision between the involved time and the ‘reward’ at the end. If we are not getting good emotions or something bigger that ourselves, feels like ‘not worthy’ to belong.

That’s all the twt

I added an Atom feed to ‘7 links of the day’. Find some curated links (a few in spanish and french) every morning.

This is interesting allowing to access a Web with SSH, although a bit complicated for the ‘regular’ user

I’d expect some one-time password, or some challenge to copy and paste. Anyway, it always makes mi think of alternatives to passwords.

I came across Google Summer of Code

This one looks interesting, I’ll apply soon, and perhaps is interesting for you as well

Would ‘twtxt’ be a good project for the next one? 🤔

After getting used to it, I’m loving this date format:
2024-02-06

I liked ‘6feb2024’, although isn’t as international as the former.
And… ‘06/02/24’ is awful, don’t use it!

I’m thinking of a kind of ‘boost’ or ‘retweet/repost’ for twtxt, so it can help with discoverability of interesting people to follow.

Something like
[BOOST][URL]
[QUOTE][URL]“Snippet”

Ha, this is cool. Has its flaws, although is easy to remember.

Wasn’t aware of this Salty Chat app for Android (I assume there’s one for iOS)

I like trying new chat apps, although I need more hipster friends using more than Whatsapp and Discord 👀

Hey twxters… I’m looking for a freelancing on Python/C#/PHP, backend… I you are in a cool project or know one, let me know!

Ha, this is gold!

I’ll be migrating my twtxt Web client from twtxt-php to timeline
https://eapl.me/twtxt_timeline/?profile=https://eapl.me/twtxt.txt

The idea is to move back to /twtxt/ when the migration is finished (and I’m able to read and publish from there)

I think a better looking web would be helpful to bring more people, even when the old black view is functional and hacky…

Yesterday I the #SuperHappyDevHouse there were a lot of cool projects.

I’ve been reading “Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internet” learning of games developed before I was born, or when was too small.
I’m finding old gems to play and understanding that we have the same problems developing games 30+ years after, although with some obvious differences.

Currently playing:

Which reminds me of another Tetris I don’t know how it came to my PC in the 90s.

I’ve been thinking of how to notify someone else that you’ve replied to their twts.

Is there something already developed, for example on yarn.social?

Let’s say I want to notify https://sour.is/tiktok/America/Denver.txt that I’ve replied to some twt. They don’t follow me back, so they won’t see my reply.

I would send my URL to, could be, https://sour.is/tiktok/replies?url=MY_URL and they’ll check that I have a reply to some of their twts, and could decide to follow me back (after seeing my twtxt profile to avoid spam)

Another option could be having a metadata like
follow-request=https://sour.is/tiktok/America/Denver.txt TIMESTAMP_IN_SECONDS
that the other client has to look for, to ensure that the request comes from that URL (again, to avoid spam)
This could be deleted after the other .txt has your URL in the follow list, or auto-expire after X days to clean-up old requests.

What do you think?

My bookmark list is growing more and more (currently 600+ links)
https://eapl.me/links/all_links.php

Whilst there are some gems, there are also links I haven’t read, and perhaps never will.

I’m thinking of having some way of fade away them over time, and if I don’t do anything with a link in, let’s say, a year, it will vanish forever.
Something similar I do with contacts. If I don’t talk with someone for more than I year, why do I have them in my list?

#stupidFOMO

haha, only for superstitious reasons.
I like 7, and in my town the sun rises at about 7am, but makes more sense from 6 to 6!

On having noon at 12pm I’ll research on that… Interesting point!

Here is the sun graph in my town
https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/mexico/chihuahua

it needs more explanation than only showing the time 😅

Yes, the idea is that it changes a few seconds every day to “start” at 7am with the sun ☀
The day lasts about 24 hours as usual
