Fixed another bug in my finger client: rfc1288 says lines have to end with crlf, but I was just sending lf.

Just copied over my posts from my finger to twtxt! From now on I’ll only post on twtxt, and I hope to integrate twtxt into my finger soon.

Today I set up my first cgi script, a gemini -> finger proxy at gemini://tilde.team/~lovetocode999/finger ‘Twas quite enjoyable, and it works pretty well in my opinion =D

I’ve published my silly finger implementation: http://txtpunk.com/finger

Then finger is for the straight-up shut-ins.

Ah, no; and there we have a good example of finger’s poor discoverability! It matches my email address, though: echo a.9srv.net | sed ’s/./@/’

No, totally not useful. 🤣 I mean, the finger protocol is pretty trivial, and it’d be fun to add, but doesn’t replace anything you’re doing.

I like finger, but outside of a shared system, the complete lack of discoverability is pretty fatal.

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.

My finger server now includes the last post from tw that doesn’t have a subject. ‘finger a@9srv.net’

@Leo@www.gkbrk.com Sorry to disappoint. I think I have Finger running on my Raspberrypi but didn’t make it public.

@johanbove@johanbove.info After hearing about your Gopher server and seeing a .plan link on your website, I was disappointed to not see a finger daemon running on your server

@sdk@codevoid.de Haha, yes, I guess so :P

@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 ;)

@sdk@codevoid.de wow, real nice, I completely forgot that existed ! Thanks for the reminder :)

I’ve set up a fingerd on my domain. I’ve not had that much fun for quite a while… feel free to finger sex@ dick@ butt@ touch@ root@. The real one is finger@.

Testing pre-tweet and post-tweet hooks - crosses fingers

planck keyboard feels 98% natural to me now. I’m using stiff tactile grey cherry switches on them, which feel great to me, but my fingers need to build up strength for long-term use.

@kas@enotty.dk, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net (re: finger) That’s another neat thing about twtxt, it totally independent of any transport layer. ipfs, zeronet, finger, as long as the protocol has an url we could follow the ressource.

@krt@krt.marmaro.de Hi there, welcome to #twtxt! We sure get a lot of comparisons with #finger…

Already three of ten children sick at our daycare. Keep your fingers crossed.

@kas@enotty.dk Wow wttr.in is really great! I used finger berlin@graph.no until now. #weather
