Hello twtxt and happy new year!
I wrote a proposal for a high-performance OSMIC backend: https://medium.com/@/proposal-for-a-high-performance-storage-system-for-osmic-branching-histories-7cb324c7df2d?source=friends_link&sk=40fc22e94810bd20995286d1f8815a6c but it occurs to me that I don’t have a good intro to OSMIC so that’s next.
I documented what I’m trying to do with MfoM, so that I can write a proper postmortem later: https://medium.com/@/mfom-pre-postmortem-92683b15ff2c

Up and running (plodding?) now on twtxt. Another day, another federated social network…
@mdosch@mdosch.de: Hmm fgallery relies on javascript, which is something I try to avoid.
@71m@timmorgan.org: why web when it is local? I use sxiv for local browsing and llgal to generate a static gallery from a directory: https://github.com/bgoglin/llgal. If you want something more CGI-ish, you could build it with a few lines of perl: https://metacpan.org/pod/CGI::Application::PhotoGallery

003.00 POST: @aewens@tilde.team, welcome to the party!
@nblade@nblade.sdf.org: Stuff is heavy on the mind. What is a lightweight lifestyle worth? Trash everything under this value. You can always rebuy it.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net No, I think the old DOS edlin program is the standard text editor LOL.
@dave@davebucklin.com No, I don’t think I’ve ever done that
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I also always try to have a few ssh servers with several ports available for me to use. My favorite port is 443. Once had a firewall that wouldn’t allow SSH on 22 but 443 was acceptable because it expected encryption on it.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net: As long as they are dimmable or relate to the screen brightness. I’m often working in the dark with 1% screen brightness.
I just recently found an issue with my custom client. It was ignoring microseconds on timestamps. Which meant I was missing some twtxt from people. I got that fixed and I know see all of them.
@mdom@domgoergen.com my own custom client I wrote, I use cron to run the update my timeline every 20 mins. My update process also processes 10 curl calls at time. I did that to save time when I poll everyone.
@mdom@domgoergen.com metadata is there now. I was one commit behind.
Do you have ideas for a new spec? Maybe we can collect them on irc? join freenode/twtxt
@sdk@codevoid.de Although i’m a gopher fanboy, I wouldn’t use it for twtxt. It’s really a optimal fit.
@mdom@domgoergen.com Or limit the the amount and use random 10 followers or so…
@mdom@domgoergen.com did you think about not putting all followers into the twtxt file, but a URL to a follower list? Think performance. If the network grows to 10000 users, you’d have 10000 extra lines in each twtxt file.
@nblade@nblade.sdf.org If everybody is happy with the format, sure! Writing a new spec is on my todo list for a long time. Maybe that’s a good reason to do it.
@nblade@nblade.sdf.org The newest txtnish can show the users other users are following: txtnish following mdom (if mdom is my nick on your system)
@mdom@domgoergen.com Nice! activated
@mdom@domgoergen.com That’s interesting. So does txtnish read that metadata? or would an end user just look at the file to see it? Is the meta data going to be the standard?
@mdom@domgoergen.com what metadata feature is that?
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net It’s nice to be way ahead of the curve no? LOL.
@kas@enotty.dk the only thing I can think is that people are finally re-figuring out that static sites are really fast because the content doesn’t need to generated on the fly. I noticed there were a lot of static content generators out there.
@kas@enotty.dk WTF! That’s a good one.
@mdosch@mdosch.de: Yes. I first thought gopher would be a good protocol for this purpose. But HTTP has the advantage, that you don’t always need to fetch the whole file. You can do a HEAD and check for last-modified header.
@mdosch@mdosch.de: Yes, #txtnish uses curl and can therefore handle all curl supported protocols.
@sdk@codevoid.de A comment might not be in the spec, but I know several of the twtxt files I’ve looked at have them. I know my kit bashed twtxt client ignores those lines and I’m sure other clients do too.
