@kas@enotty.dk Not sure about the size though. The most known is sopran but i started with concert and still thought it was too small. #ukelele

@kas@enotty.dk I paid 170 Euros with bag, but if you’re a beginner i would buy a something for between 50 and 100 Euros. Just don’t by the cheap ones

Welcome to twtxt @pkill9@pkill9.freeshell.org!

@tomasino@tomasino.sdf.org Best wishes!

Welcome, @c0by@c0by.de and @robbinaer@robbinaer.info!

@robbinaer@robbinaer.info That’s how i found you … :)

@reednj@twtxt.xyz No idea, i could just find https://robbinaer.info/index.php?article93/twtxt

Hi @c0by@c0by.de and @robbinaer@robbinaer.info, welcome to twtxt!

@tx@0x1a4.1337.cx #stagit looks really cool, thanks for mentioning it.

Re: support for other protocols, it seems like twtxt would be pretty easily adapted to work over the p2p file network DAT, though it’d need client support for DAT or some way to follow people via files and sync in the background, which might be simpler for clients to support but would still require changes to most clients.

@dave@davebucklin.com bingo!

@kas@enotty.dk I’m not currently using a handrolled client, but I’ve started a couple.

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org I could probably put something together, but I went this route originally because existing generators felt like they took too much control from me over the exact output. I want very small, static pages I can throw behind nginx, and I want to know exactly what the contents are. My current mess of spaghetti Racket is getting hairy since I’m halfway through an unfinished rewrite I started a while ago and forgot about, but at least I know exactly what it’s doing.

@leveck@leveck.us welcome to twtxt!

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org I take a look, it should work with every posix compliant awk, so at least oawk, nawk and gawk should run. What’s the error message? Feel free to add an issue.

@kas@enotty.dk I like the personal touch that we are greeting new users! Hi, @leveck@leveck.us

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org welcome!

@pete@petedeas.co.uk that’s a clever solution; I’ll have to set up something like that.

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org What client are you using? Your mentions are somehow broken?

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org Hi, welcome to the party!

@tdemin@tdemin.github.io good points, though another that I’ve noticed is that it’s difficult to tell who in your network is actually reachable with your tweets. My HTTPS cert went unupdated for a brief while and now I have no idea who is still following me since I got it working again, so it’s difficult to tell where I can really have a conversation. A centralized service can tell who’s following who, but that’s basically impossible in twtxt.

@tfurrows@grex.org It’s not a hard limit, most alternative clients do not care about the amount of characters you’re posting. As long as you don’t write a novel and it still fits on a line… :)

@ckeen@pestilenz.org There’s also https://teachyourselfcs.com/, which has some greet ressources besides OSTEP.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I once had a fun day hunting down the phone number for a scraper. Really nice guy, just some script running havoc.

@c-keen@pestilenz.org welcome!

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net @kas@enotty.dk #twtxt’s quietness is actually something I enjoy about it. I care a lot more about signal-to-noise ratio than I care about the regular activity. It’s also a really fun thing to write clients for to play around with new libraries or languages.

@tdemin@tdemin.github.io too busy working on a twtxt client to tweet on twtxt

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14480868 But don’t expect a civil discussion about that topic… :)

@phil@philmcclure.duckdns.org We all just decided to ignore that… :)

@trqx@0x1A4.1337.cx write a fun numpop clone https://tx.god.jp/code/cnumpop/files.html. I got 590 points with the seed 1493407649, can anyone beat that? :)

Hi @pete@petedeas.co.uk!

@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de I mostly just use overbite https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/overbiteff/

Don’t believe anything @8ball@domgoergen.com replies about a robot uprising. It has its own agenda.

@kas@enotty.dk https://github.com/pib/gkos looks interesting, and there’s also http://plover.stenoknight.com/ and http://joy2chord.sourceforge.net/

@kas@enotty.dk That’s a heavy price tag. Otherwise it would be an instant buy just to test it, but i guess that’s why you ask… :)

@reednj@twtxt.xyz I think we are all using an client to read our timeline, but i somtimes use http://twtxt.xyz/ to read on the go.

@reednj@twtxt.xyz It would be cool if there would be a way to flag bots and just see tweets of normal users? The real™ content seems to get drowned in a sea of bots.

@webi@twtxt.opstack.info Unbelievable!

@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for formulapot, i definitely try an after shave as sonn as my stash is used up.

And i liked @dave@davebucklin.com’s version so much, i copied his banner. Maybe i should create a empty twtfile with the banner in #txtnish quickstart :)

#txtnish supports exporting your timeline to html with –theme html since last night. See https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/timeline.html for an example.

@kas@enotty.dk But with a detached sig i have to download two files for every feed and wait for parsing the twtfiles and downloading the sigs before i can display anything.

@reednj@twtxt.xyz I think this would be the first time two clients implement the same #metadata format.

@reednj@twtxt.xyz Ah, yeah, good catch, @8ball@domgoergen.com checks the full mention format.

@reednj@twtxt.xyz Yeah, to make twtxt ready for a mesh network. But i just played with the idea, it’s no call for implementation… :)

There could be known archive urls and we could use mdns for local twtxt distribution. Just playing with the idea… :)

Imagine, some would distribute their feeds in an archive like https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/twtfiles.tar.gz. And more files would be signed.

And as we’re already talking about the future of twtxt… since i played a little bit with scuttle i wonder how twtxt could be distributed.

I’ll take another swing at #metadata for #twtxt. You can check my feed for an example. The headers aren’t important, only # key = value

@reednj@twtxt.xyz Thanks! And i’ll check why 8ball won’t answer you. Everytime anybody asks it a question, something goes wrong. sigh
