Improving Git protocol security on GitHub
We’re changing which keys are supported in SSH and removing unencrypted Git protocol. Only users connecting via SSH or git:// will be affected. If your Git remotes start with https://, nothing in this post will affect you. If you’re an SSH user, read on for the details and timeline. ⌘ Read more

I want read-only iOS client that just does the simplest model: pull a list of feeds, make a timeline.

@lucidiot@tilde.town “nuclear realtor” I like this twtxt. [meta: I guess I’ll often just reply with “I like this” or , although perhaps liking could be a primitive. I’ll do it rarely enough to not clutter my timeline tho]

Seems like twtxt-el does not retrieve a timeline. #emacs

@prologic@twtxt.net to answer some of your previous questions, i’m using txtnish for my timeline and user controls, and plain twtxt for posting. the alternative to that would be setting up a bunch of shell aliases or small scripts. or making my own client in Go. There’s a thought… ;)

Fixed txtnish timeline formatting of hashtags on BSD by installing coreutils and replacing fmt with gfmt in the configuration file #twtxt #txtnish #gnu #bsd

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Oh well, I played with txtnish commands and now you’re back in my timeline x)

Why is the timeline in reverse order? Meaning, I’d expect to see the most recent twtxts in the end of the output

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Nope, nothing changed :/ I even deleted you and followed you again. You just don’t appear in my timeline. It’s weird

@kas@enotty.dk What ? No I don’t, I just use twtxt normally and use the timeline command :/

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net : Ah, I still don’t see your posts in my timeline even though the file is good on my browser :/

Strongly recommend ‘Horror Noire’ for folks who are interested in the history of horror on film. It filled in some big gaps in the timeline for me. It’s available on Shudder, which is also streaming some flicks covered.

Discovered how to set use_abs_time to show absolute times in a timeline.

@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.

I mean, you could update with cron and then read the timeline with -U, does anybody do that?

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org: Check my tw.txt file. The specification does not allow a comment. I’ve added this now: 1970-01-01T01:00:00.000000Z▸FF:https://codevoid.de/tw.following.txt. I’d use the special date/time + FF: comment as trigger. This is backwards compatible and shouldn’t really come up in anyones’ timeline.

Bad idea of the day: an irc-style chat interface for mastodon, where whatever you type is posted & you just see your home timeline

Sanity on the Weird Timeline https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2017/03/14/maintaining-sanity-weird-timeline/

@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.

#txtnish supports exporting your timeline to html with –theme html since last night. See https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/timeline.html for an example.

It doesn’t do anything interesting, handles no redirects, prints the ugliest timeline and you have to configure it by editing the source file. But it kinda works…

@phil@philmcclure.duckdns.org, i mostly check @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net timeline. Less bots. How often do you update, @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net?

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Or we resort the timline to have the newest entries on top, then you could just request the first x bytes of every feed. But archiving is definitly the pragmatic solution. Get back to me if you want to have that in txtnish. Or maybe someone want to submit a PR?

@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx I like the visualization of the timeline. A static timeline of we-are-twtxt would be cool!

Meet the firehose at https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/firehose.txt. It publishes the complete timeline of we-are-twtxt every ten minutes. I’ll use it for my bots, so i don’t have to hit your feeds so often. Feel free to use it too!

#txtnish now requests gzipped pages if possible and you can call timeline with a single url to view the twtfile of someone you don’t follow.

@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

How should #txtnish handle permanent redirects? Prompt the user to change url? But what if timeline is run in cron? A flag like -I for non-interactive? Mhh…

#txtnish has a reply subcommand that opens a editor with your outcommented timeline. Every non empty, not commented line will be tweeted.

How to use #txtnix with tor: HTTPS_PROXY=socks://localhost:9050 txtnix timeline Or use the new variables http_proxy and https_proxy

And there’s –new to just show the new tweets since the last time you called timeline.

#txtnix now has a –pretty and –simple for the timeline and view subcommands and a config option display_format that defaults to simple.

This could be a way to discover other twtxt users more easily. Clients could ignore such lines in the timeline if wanted.

Damn, before leaving work, my timeline was quite slow. Now, displaying the latest 50 messages isn’t enough :o

twtxt-able twtxt helper scripts, part 1: make ‘tt’ run ‘twtxt timeline -l 1000 | less’

@kopachris it would be really for discovery and peeking at people’s timelines I think
