@leveck@leveck.us Why not just use a menu and link your posts, friends and comments? I like the idea to use fts for comments!
Re: support for other protocols, it seems like twtxt would be pretty easily adapted to work over the p2p file network DAT, though it’d need client support for DAT or some way to follow people via files and sync in the background, which might be simpler for clients to support but would still require changes to most clients.
@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.
@kas@enotty.dk I like the personal touch that we are greeting new users! Hi, @leveck@leveck.us
@pete@petedeas.co.uk that’s a clever solution; I’ll have to set up something like that.
I hate rewritting code just because someone else does not like the way it is!
tfurrows it is likely to be really barebones. I am just screwing around
like it.

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 :)
Imagine, some would distribute their feeds in an archive like https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/twtfiles.tar.gz. And more files would be signed.
The latest #txtnish will check the url key to change the twturl you’re following. Like an inline 304.
@dave@davebucklin.com Have you checked https://github.com/jarun/Buku, the highly delicious bookmark manager? I really like it!
New stuff in #txtnish: Better argument parser, automatic url rewriting for redirects and a new silly mode that let you share urls like @kas@enotty.dk
@kas@enotty.dk And it looks like dat also supports mdns for local discovery and custom bootstrap servers. Too bad though.
Does anybody have a opinion about linking to single tweets via the mention syntax like @mdom@domgoergen.com?
@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de Sorry, no idea then. I have a ticker with news agencies like dpa, afp etc. at work but that’s more like a firehose.
@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Looks like a gadget for a villain.
@dave@davebucklin.com, @kas@enotty.dk I thought about propsing “There is no maximum length of a message. Clients should show at least 140 characters of a tweet after collapsing the mentions.” Or something like that.
I recently tried to write a command like client to GNU social, but after reading the specs on ActivityStreams, Webfinger, PubsubHubbub and Salmon i soon lost interest… :)
There are so many alternatives like ipfs or scuttlebutt, but i fear that we loose the simplicity of the old protocols. That in my mind is the main attraction of twtxt.
Like start-ups, most intentional communities fail – why? ⌘ https://aeon.co/essays/like-start-ups-most-intentional-communities-fail-why
@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx I like the visualization of the timeline. A static timeline of we-are-twtxt would be cool!
@kas@enotty.dk Fermented slimy soybeans sounds like a hard sell. Maybe something you have to taste? :)
@allgebrah@www.synkretie.net I like the photo story!
@kas@enotty.dk Heh, cool video but it sounds like a bug? https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/5yeefj/alexa_are_you_connected_to_the_cia/depeufn/
@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Is you page publicly accessable? Maybe i should add exporting to html to #txtnish, seems like a thing many users wan to to?
Really liked A Closed and Common Orbit, nice to read a scifi story about character development! Next book: Arkwright by Allen Steele
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Something cut of your link? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/25/australian-childrens-author-mem-fox-detained-by-us-border-control-i-sobbed-like-a-baby
Not that i ever had this problem… https://nolanlawson.com/2017/03/05/what-it-feels-like-to-be-an-open-source-maintainer/
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…
Welcome to twtxt, @trevor@destroyed.today! Your timestamp looks like your’re using txtnish? :)
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Something like post_tweet_hook () { cp “$twtfile” /var/www/twtxt.txt; }
If anybody does not know @allgebrah@www.synkretie.net, i really like its microfiction!
Weird, the same repice serves 8 to 10 ppl in the book. I can’t believe we eat the whole pot alone… :) Happy you liked it!

Decode It Like It’s 1999
A few years ago I started to work on an MPEG1 Video decoder, completely written in JavaScript. Now, I finally found the time to clean up the library, improve its performance, make it more error resilient and modular and add an MP2 Audio decoder and MPEG-TS demuxer. This makes this library not just an MPEG decoder, but a full video player.
In this blog post I want to talk a bit about the challenges and various interesting
bits I discovered during the development of this library. You’ll … ⌘ Read more
#txtnix would only unfollow urls with 410. Now you can set the variable unfollow_codes to list additional codes like 404 and 403.
