I think it is long due dropping Facebook (now Meta) from the S&P 500 index funds. As an owner of some, I really have a problem with itâand yes, I know there is little I can do but voice it everywhere I make noise online.
What about a meta header for setting charset?
I myself stumbled upon .txt files not being delivered with charset: utf-8 by default.
I had to set/modify .htaccess to correct that.
It would have been easier if there had been a charset header entry âoverwritingâ what http server is delivering.
What do you think?
My thoughts about range requests
Additionally to pagination also range request should be used to reduce traffic.
I understand that there are corner cases making this a complicated matter.
I would like to see a meta header saying that the given twtxt is append only with increasing timestamps so that a simple strategy can detect valid content fetched per range request.
- read meta part per range request
- read last fetched twt at expected range (as known from last fetch)
- if fetched content starts with expected twt then process rest of data
- if fetched content doesnât start with expected twt discard all and fall back to fetching whole twtxt
Pagination (e.g. archiving old content in a different file) will lead to point 4.
Of course especially pods should support range requests, correct @prologic@twtxt.net?
My thoughts about pagination (paging)
Following the discussion about pagination (paging) I think thatâs the right thing to do.
Fetching the same content again and again with only a marginal portion of actually new twts is unbearable and does not scale in any way. Itâs not only a waste of bandwidth but with increasing number of fetchers it will also become a problem for pods to serve all requests.
Because itâs so easy to implement and simple to understand, splitting twtxt file in parts with next and prev pointers seems a really amazing solution.
As in RFC5005 there should also be a meta header pointing to the main URL, e.g. current or baseurl or something like that. This way hashes can calculated correctly even for archived twts.

How to Insert Meta Tags into a Web Page with BlueGriffon â Read moreâŠ
@prologic@twtxt.net the meta info on the top I added manually. itâs following what I have seen from some other twtxt feeds. the new parser will read them.
@lucidiot@tilde.town ânuclear realtorâ I like this twtxt. [meta: I guess Iâll often just reply with âI like thisâ or , although perhaps liking could be a primitive. Iâll do it rarely enough to not clutter my timeline tho]
added a !meta page. this proof of concept integrates with the weewiki !zettelkasten I am developing to produce something similar to this !feed.

weewiki uses a custom org markup parser written in ANSI C to render the HTML. No emacs needed! my hope is to introduce a user-defined callback that can process these to allow for custom meta-commands.

/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz About images, sure, I understand itâs useless for CLI-only use. But if we added our own format, maybe something like Markdown
would work?/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Also yes, a simple string search would be fine. Iâm not JS-savvy enough to be sure, but I guess it would work a bit like tags?
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Ok, I figured it out, sorry :) I entered my local time manually and forgot itâs supposed to be UTC, so my posts were in the future.
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Iâm trying to understand where my timestamp issue comes from, but I have no clue. My two latest posts were edited manually, yet the timestamp syntax seems right?
/meta @ckipp@chronica.xyz Regarding potential new features, maybe some kind of search box? And is there a way to embed images or other media?
/meta Great job on the pagination! Now Iâm thinking about forking this and trying to see if I can use it as a personal nanoblog/wikiâŠ
/meta I really like how this place looks. Is there any plan for some kind of pagination to browse older posts?
This is math-heavy but the idea that âkeys are meta-taxonomic dimensionsâ reminds me of ZigZag & other elements make me think of parallel prolog-likes like mycroft â should re-read carefully later: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/m2009002_qod.pdf
I donât buy this at all. All the political radicals I know have incredibly elaborate meta-cognition and constantly-shifting meta-justifications, because you donât become radical without curiosity. https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/12/radicals-dont-evaluate-their-mistakes-very-effectively/
@mdom@domgoergen.com Thatâs 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?
