@8ball@domgoergen.com Will twtxt take over the world?

@8ball@domgoergen.com Do we need a magie 8ball for twtxt?

@tux0r@rosaelefanten.org Welcome to twtxt!

@8ball@domgoergen.com Do we need a magic 8ball for twtxt?

@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de Couldn’t you just walk into a cafe and yell “Ok google search SOMETHING_EMBARASSING”? :)

@dave@davebucklin.com It’s probably https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195792, should be fixed for #txtnish

@dave@davebucklin.com Which os are you using? Can you chech if you also have this awk problem?

@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 “

@mdom@domgoergen.com @kas@enotty.dk thanks! I was checking access logs on nginx and noticed a bunch of 404s to my twtxt url, so I decided to pick it back up.

@dave@davebucklin.com Welcome to twtxt, i take a look at txtnish on mac os x, should be easy to fix

@benaiah@benaiah.me Welcome back!

Think I’ll try out twtxt again for while…

@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 :)

@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!

Maybe it would be a good idea to point new users to reednj, we-are-twtxt or irc. Some set up a twtfile and aren’t sure about the next step.

Does anybody has a good idea where to do some promotion for twtxt? A subreddit or online community i haven’t thought about?

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Uh, i haven’t heard about yacy in years. Please keep us informed! I have to talk to our hardware guy, maybe we can run an instance at work.

@kas@enotty.dk Yeah, i know, it’s crazy, especially wp http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7996919/should-url-be-case-sensitive/17113291#17113291, let’s just use only lowercased urls!

@kas@enotty.dk The path starts with /Hund. Collapsing mentions is harder than i thought. #txtnish does now lowercase the hostname to handle 0x1A4.1337.cx vs 0x1a4.1337.cx in mentions.

Welcome to twtxt, @hund@raw.githubusercontent.com!

@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Thanks!

@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de Can you check with the newest version? This should be fixed in eb3665b.

@trevor@destroyed.today Looks great, do you have the syntax file uploaded somewhere?

@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx I think there’s just a charset=utf-8 missing to see it correctly in the browser. It’s fine in a terminal.

@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de Sure, thanks for pointing out the problem. I’m very happy somebody is testing txtnish!

@kas@enotty.dk Interesting video, i just watched the first ten minutes and bookmarked it for later.

@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de. Thanks, fixed!

@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Okay, following one self seems not so obvious as i thought. With commit 4b9b067 #txtnish displays the local twtfile.

@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Nice! But i don’t get a UTF8 feed, for example https://twtxt.1337.cx/tazgezwitscher

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Thanks for the reference! How do you create your timeline? Would it help if you had access to the unformatted timeline? Before formatting it’s nick “t” url “t” props “t” unixtime “t” msg

@trevor@destroyed.today, @tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Sorry, too many new users! :) @tx@0x1A4.1337.cx suggested printing the messages to stdout.

@kas@enotty.dk Shouldn’t i check [ -t 0 ] if i want to know if i can prompt?

@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net It’s a feature, i want to see what the rest of the world sees. In case publishing fails.

Or maybe i just print a message to stderr as @trevor@destroyed.today suggested.

@trevor@destroyed.today, @quite@lublin.se I already ignore the scheme for collapsing mentions, I wonder if i should ignore www to. Probaby not… :)

Someone wants to write a vim syntax file for #twtxt? :)

@kas@enotty.dk I’m practising, and it’s really easy, at least for the current year. Thanks! #doomsday

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Ha! Thorsten Glaser is an old colleague of mine. Shared his office for three days before i switched to another client.

@kas@enotty.dk But then we wouldn’t be a decentralized network anymore. Or do i misunderstand the nature of keybase?

I would love to add metadata to the spec, but someone would have to hack it into twtxt #issue48 @buckket@buckket.org? :)

@trevor@destroyed.today Yeah, we just talked this morning about that. There are clients (for example twet) that won’t be able to read signed files.

Welcome to twtxt, @trevor@destroyed.today! Your timestamp looks like your’re using txtnish? :)

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Something like post_tweet_hook () { cp “$twtfile” /var/www/twtxt.txt; }

@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx I have to recheck, but i think the dns resolver of perl is blocking? #fud

@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Reusing twtxt config is probably the easiest way for new clients. Although i’m really happy that i can now use comments in txtnish… :)

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Thanks for the pointer to heads. Didn’t know that tails uses nonfree software.

But buckket’s last comment in https://github.com/buckket/twtxt/issues/48 seems to support that.
