hmm… apparently the invalid twts are the latest ones I’d posted from Timeline but highly probably because I’d tried to restore them manually, after unintentionally overriding my twtxt file with one that was out of date 🤦

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz (that is targeted only at me. i do not shower enough. exposing myself)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz though i feel like this doesn’t need to be said because if anyone is that pretty they are not a self hoster because they regularly shower

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh! no need to be sorry and feel free to keep at it if it helps, I don’t mind. It’s just that I’m always on the lookout for corpo-bots and crawlers slipping through the cracks (a fun little game of sorts) 😅 the only thing I let them see is a robots.txt telling them to :diffoff

Also, I’m curious about the invalid lines in my feed. is it something I should lookout for in future?

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz after some fighting with this janky software (that i still love despite the jank) we now have stupid tux as our logo. slayyy

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oh no good luck!!!

Any idea What’s this "twtxtfeevalidator/0.0.1" UA about? I thought I could ask before throwing a 1000GB file at it 🪤 could it be the same ‘xt’ thing @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org was talking about the other day?

@prologic@twtxt.net we live in hell

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woah it’s like a cheatsheet with explanations! java is kind of arcane magic sorcery to me so i’m having trouble understanding it but i have that with most programming languages. this is like so much easier to actually look at and read instead of my eyes glazing over lol

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Sorry I missed your messages to #twtxt on IRC. There are people there, but it can take several hours to get a response. E.g. I check it every day or two. I recommend using an IRC bouncer. To answer your question about registries, I used a couple of registries when I first started out, to try to find feeds to follow, but haven’t since then. I don’t remember which ones, but they were easy to find with web searches.

@prologic@twtxt.net YEAH it’s so cool!!! i was thinking about trying it as sorta practice for golang lol

@prologic@twtxt.net that’s iconic af though like i should do the same bc i hate cloudflare that much i just refuse to use them

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh nah it came out like that lol! i actually love how squished it looks it feels accurate lol

oh yeah i think i might have a tripod around but i do need a sandbag or something i could use as one. maybe yeah a giant bag of rice could work LOL. thanks for the tips!!! i took a video class last year in college and we worked with cameras and tripods with sandbags so it was on my mind

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah! as long as it’s fun :D experimenting with it like picking up the camera every once in a while to point somewhere else, or in editing inserting more video in between the static angles, that could be fun!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is why people like me can’t code this is boring eyes glazing over kinda stuff lol

Did you have disallow rule in robots.txt? (I think not because can google several twtxt.net posts)

Want this API for Goryon or just Goryon with support to just twtxt.txt. I can’t read timeline without visible replies and missing twts

@prologic@twtxt.net oooh gonna have to look into this, doubt most of my sites need it but i’m thinking one or two could use it

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz here it is :) https://memoria.sayitditto.net/view?m=UyMOOoiOy

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’d be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i’d have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda “sew with me” video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that’d be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.

magnetic tape camcorders omg!!! mine is digital but i’d LOVE to get a tape camcorder

@bender@twtxt.net aw thank you so much!!! rambling is the best… just gotta keep on going about what we love and somehow people like it lol!

@bender@twtxt.net wow almost 6am damn!!! yeah i’m EST too :)

@prologic@twtxt.net oh it’s ok! thank you for the explanation! i think for me when it comes to programming i learn best by doing, so like written examples or talking about it helps less, BUT baseline explanations like what a pointer is does help! i was so confused and i still need to fix the error i’m having but i will figure it out!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org AWWWW OMG THAT’S SO CUTE

@movq@www.uninformativ.de REALLLL

@bender@twtxt.net probably lol!

@prologic@twtxt.net nooo post away!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net fuck yeah!!!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz https://memoria.sayitditto.net/user/andjuly/

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz anyway when i get the memory stick i will record something silly and exclusive for yarn friends i can’t wait <3

@prologic@twtxt.net EVEN COOLER

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i also like the separation inherent with using dedicated devices. like i have a DAP, a fiio X1 ii from 2019, and it’s still going strong. it’s perfect for on the go music listening and i never have to worry about like going somewhere with no reception and the music drops out. it’s all local AND the battery lasts longer because i’m not using wi-fi or bluetooth or data. also i can directly access the file system and just add files anytime. this goes for my point & shoot and other devices too. i love this shit i’m such a nerd

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i think what i love about “retro” (relative to me because i was born 2004) is that it has friction but in a different way than modern tech does. sure there’s friction with getting a video from your phone to a computer unless you’re a nerd like me with android and syncthing. but not only is that something that could be but isn’t easier, it’s just… it makes sense for a camcorder from ~2009 to have the kind of friction it does

@prologic@twtxt.net this is epic… you’ve made a great platform!!! screw big tech we got literal threads here. X, The Everything App, wishes it had literal yarn threads smh my head. also twtxt is so cool like i love that yarn is a frontend for it but also its own thing. all plaintext… coolest shit ever

@prologic@twtxt.net oooh i should’ve figured yeah!!! epic…

@prologic@twtxt.net 9am wow!!! 6pm here now :P

@prologic@twtxt.net oh yeah i had to do a custom caddy build for that once but then i reverted because i didn’t need it anymore (well i kinda do but for now i’m just manually doing it instead of wildcard certs/TLS on demand i’m lazy af). otherwise i love caddy

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net twtxt-el ?

it’s epic that twtxt slash yarn doesn’t have reposts or likes. it’s just chill. replies and posting is all a site needs

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org if i ever get to it i will absolutely post tux-in-progress pics!!! just a creature….

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i’ve really wanted to make one of those sites you can curl that’s terminal friendly but looks different on the browser like how does wttr.in do it… magic

good morning new yarn social/twtxt friends (it is literally 5:30pm where i am i woke up at 3pm and i am still drinking coffee)

@prologic@twtxt.net YAYYY fuck cloudflare!!! caddy+wireguard amazing combo

@bender@twtxt.net I’m hoping my little one makes it that long; it’s possible! Unless some medical miracle occurs I’ll be long ago converted to dust by then.

@prologic@twtxt.net omg i keep hearing so much good about HTMX i really gotta try it!

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah and far lighter than the likes of react! it kicks ass

@prologic@twtxt.net totally understandable! i used the web app from my phone and it worked perfectly 🫶 i can’t imagine the headaches that maintaining apps brings…

@prologic@twtxt.net hopefully!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net oh i meant to hit reply but i forgot lol

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz this is that telnet zine cms by the way, it’s epic https://github.com/caraesten/dial_a_zine
