@kas@enotty.dk Yes, I know I am!

@benaiah@benaiah.me sounds a lot like why many years ago, I went with Drupal for a simple Blogging site vs Wordpress. WP was easier but Drupal allowed me as an admin to not have any filters. Which allowed me to put raw HTML in the posts to control certian that I was doing at the time

@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.

@benaiah@benaiah.me That is a tough call. I guess it depends on if you can find something off the shelf that will meet your needs or not.

@leveck@leveck.us welcome to twtxt!

@tfurrows@grex.org It is certainly not polished but I have made a good start on that php CLI

@mdom@domgoergen.com I get the error: awk: extra ] at source line 35

@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

@benaiah@benaiah.me Thanks I am just fooling around at the moment.

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org welcome!

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

@mdom@domgoergen.comI’m not sure I know how to reply properly with it. I handeded edit this to be right.

@mdom@domgoergen.com I am playing with the txtnish client, all the systems I have available are running an old version of Python

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

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

I tried to add myself to the Git repos for the twtxt users but I think all I did was create a fork that will not be merged

@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.

I think this week I’ll look at a bare bone PHP CLI for a twtxt client. Just for fun mind you

@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

Remember to add “AddDefaultCharset utf-8” for your twtxt file if you’re using apache. Otherwise browsers will serve cp1252. The twtxt clients won’t care but maybe someone is watching your file with a browser?

@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de I hope you haven’t bought the unused version for EUR 152,97 from amazon … :) https://www.amazon.de/dp/020107981X/
