My finger server now includes the last post from tw that doesn't have a subject. 'finger a@9srv.net'
⤋ Read More
With the finger server specifically? No idea, it’s a toy. I’d honestly forgotten I had it on until someone mentioned finger.farm and I was inspired to poke at it again.
@prologic@twtxt.net @anth Sounds like a good idea. The hash to conv/search url should stay local to a pod.
@prologic@twtxt.netFor example, this should work (no idea if it does).
@pbatch@pbat.ch “Writing a “tweet” is low-friction, and the medium forces you to chunk out ideas into (mostly) self-contained thoughts.” <3
Writing a “tweet” is low-friction, and the medium forces you to chunk out ideas into (mostly) self-contained thoughts.
I’m finding the microblogging format to be really useful for working out ideas.
@prologic@twtxt.net that would be an interesting idea. I think your current spec of using an SMTP proto is probably best for DM.
but having a federation of IRC servers would be interesting for realtime twt propagation.
@prologic@twtxt.net sounds about right. I tend to try to build my own before pulling in libs. learn more that way. I was looking at using it as a way to build my twt mirroring idea. and testing the lex parser with a wide ranging corpus to find edge cases. (the pgp signed feeds for one)
@prologic@twtxt.net the add function just scans recursivley everything.. but the idea is to just add and any new mentions then have a cron to update all known feeds
@vain@www.uninformativ.de i don’t think mastodon is a good idea but then again i never really understood the twitter format and its appeal, so there’s that.
Project idea: search for books that are most effective at converting people from one ideology to another, for any two ideologies.

@prologic do you have any info on how the '!' tags are supposed to work? are they just a different kind of hash tag?

@prologic@twtxt.net after stewing on it. I really like the idea of a wiki. throw it on the roadmap after DMs 😆
Being misunderstood is a great temporary moat. I could write a book on this, but suffice it to say, I didn’t have confidence in my own vision until I took the time to really look at others and realized that the main difference between me and the average idiot was that I had bothered to look at the ideas of other idiots at all. It was like their entire ontology had become an ant farm. It was the moment I realized, I am a super-idiot. I only half joke, because becoming a super-idiot liberated me from the perfectionism and the addiction to approval that caused a stultifying and primal narcissistic fear of criticism. If you are struggling with this, take it from someone on the other side of it: It’s ok, you’re an idiot. The Strength of Being Misunderstood | Hacker News
Would online dating without images lead to deeper, more human connections? I.e. only descriptions of people. If yes, is it different because of molochian reasons? More beautiful people have no problem showing their faces, so not showing ones face is seen as a low-status signal at some point. Counter: The idea of deeper, more human connections is in itself flawed, most mating choices are the result of a combination of class/status signals and physical attractiveness anyway.
@prologic@twtxt.net My thoughts on it being if they switched from a different way of hosting the file or multiple locations for redundancy..
I have an idea of using something like SRV records where they can define weighted url endpoints to reach.
@prologic@twtxt.net I have some ideas to improve on twtxt. figure I can contribute some. 😁 bit more work and it will almost be a drop in replacement for ParseFile
Kinda wish types.Twt was an interface. it’s sooo close.

i just realized i have no idea how to tag/mention someone else on this thing. i tried but i don’t think it worked?
There is a palpable difference between the universe described by many religions and the universe described by science. The former is all built from concepts rooted in human society such as father, son, judgment, commandment, obedience, sacrifice, punishment etc. The latter is built from eerie ideas such as force field, wavefunction, observable, reference frame, superposition etc. The former feels small, ordinary, familiar and manmade. The latter feels like we’re fumbling for words to describe something that fundamentally transcends ordinary human experience. 100k Stars | Hacker News
When you take stretch breaks every hour it’s a good idea to get up and step away from the keyboard. It is less obvious what you should do when the stretch-break notification comes and you’ve been using a standing desk the entire time.
a concept that’s organically grown with my !literate_programming efforts is this idea I call a !proof_of_thought #literate_programming #thoughtful

the idea would be to build and share tiny 6.5 bit programs encoded as printable ascii characters. this could then in turn be read by a virtual computer to do things like paint a picture or compose a piece of music. #halfbakedideas
@lucidiot@tilde.town very cool idea! may have to try something like that at some point…
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it… . An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth.

Intrusive bad idea of the day: installing the iPadOS beta so I can use Scribble.
thing idea: small glass globe, displaying a live image of jupiter so you can check on what the GRS and Oval BA are doing these days
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I think the idea is to minimise the spread from one customer to all customers, but also from a sick driver to you if the driver wears / changes gloves regularly and doesn’t handle the food too intimately.

@lucidiot@tilde.town, thanks for the bug report. Does anybody have an idea for https://github.com/mdom/txtnish/issues/12?
terraforming idea: instead of messing with atmospheres, tow your target planets into their respective habitable zones (and if you have several of them, have them exchange momentum to save on ∆v)
@lucidiot@tilde.town haha why not :P But for now it’s all in personnal notes or drafts ^^
@lucidiot@tilde.town [re: abandoned ideas] Thanks for the inspiration! How do you keep track of projects now? Do you know about TaskWarrior?
forgot about twtxt, is a nice idea
@lucidiot@tilde.town I had this idea. I can probably just set the gz header and send gzip. The request is ending up in a cgi script written in C, which assemples the response. I can do pretty much everything there…
I have trouble with a web crawler using the TOR network. It’s misusing the gopher proxy on my page. I don’t want to disable/block tor (that would be the easy way out). It’s permanently changing user agents and ignoring robots.txt. It ignores HTTP status codes. I’m currently serving it 4MB binary garbage in form of Link. It sucked in about 40GB of data now, but it doesn’t explode and keeps crawling. Any other idea about what to do with it?
@von@tilde.town: I stole the idea from a random webpage that listed a finger address for contact information. I would assume it’s pretty effective against spam ;)
