@prologic@twtxt.net Correct… epic fail 🤣 Been a long day and I just wasn’t thinking, nor backing up properly. Oops indeed. My usual errors still exist though.

@prologic@twtxt.net Righteo, so rookie error - I obviously had some untracked, rather important files for starting my pod and I ran a make clean. Why I originally had them in the git directory is anyone’s guess. Anyway it blew away those files including the database so that’s that. So your good self and @bender@twtxt.net etc - apologies but your profiles got nuked as well (as did my own but easily recreated).

Another thing I noticed which was the reason I ran make clean in the first place. I noticed my pod was being built with Go 1.22.4. Could this be a problem @prologic? preflight.sh actually errors out about it…

@prologic@twtxt.net on the the timeline with mentions filter I missing the latest mention that comes up in the mentions page.

Oh.. And you are mentioning my dev instance here 😄

@prologic@twtxt.net how do i enable htmx? i built latest main

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Product activation? Oh.. I never had to deal with that. I always had the CD-R XP Pro version with the enterprise key written in sharpie that my brother got somehow.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Just don’t install windows 11. I believe XP is peak Windows OS anyhow.

@prologic@twtxt.net i’ve used it on some small side projects and it was great. my 8-5 gig isn’t too keen on it yet which wasn’t surprising.

@prologic@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org about time i got my act together

@prologic@twtxt.net cool, i’ll update shortly!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com great find! i’ll update that :)

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hi, is it this path you are trying?

@prologic@twtxt.net it was great to meet ya’ll!

@prologic@twtxt.net thanks! i normally enjoy the long runs because i just zone out.

@prologic@twtxt.net The old options are still valid, so “Show latest post per feed” should just be added as a 3th.

I think it is a good addition. Similar to how the Fraidycat RSS reader works. Fraidyc.at also support twtxt, but have not seen any updates since 2021…

@prologic@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

@prologic@twtxt.net 1. allow only members of your pod to submit feeds

1. some kind of captcha (eew)
   
2. probationary status after submittal which requires review of some sort
   
3. rate limiting to slow down submissions from the same source

@prologic@twtxt.net I normally use gimp, but this project is pretty intense: https://orama-interactive.itch.io/pixelorama

for simple and quick drawings my kids use https://pixelart.com

@prx@si3t.ch something like this? https://labs.tineye.com/multicolr

@prologic@twtxt.net I see in my feeds header I am following two instances for you:

• follow = prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt
  
• follow = prologic https://neotxt.dk/user/prologic/twtxt.txt
  

maybe this is an issue?

@prologic@twtxt.net I sure can!

@Prologic@twtxt.net can you pleas fix this line in your twtxt.txt:
# follow = dbucklin@www.davebucklin.com https://www.davebucklin.com/twtxt.txt?nick=dbucklin

It is cause this weird effect on my timeline, where you are now called dbucklin

@mckinley@twtxt.net I have a custom .tmux.conf that makes it very easy to use the multiplexer, but I agree, Zellij seems pretty robust, and intuitive. I like it! Tried compiling it, as with everything Rust, it failed miserably. Good thing there is a binary release I could download to try!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe something for you: 7.css - A CSS framework for recreating Windows 7 UI

@adi@twtxt.net I kinda bounced off learning go properly a few years back. This little toy would be a good thing to try again on, now that you mention it. Maybe.

@bender@twtxt.net I have nothing against GoToSocial, but:

GoToSocial stores statuses, accounts, etc, in a database. This can be either SQLite or Postgres.

snac is simpler. Some JSON files and that’s it. I can read them with jq and less. I can use tar to back them up. I can hand edit them in a text editor.

I think @abucci@anthony.buc.ci and @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no are running snac? I didn’t have a closer look at snac (no intention of running it), but if that is a relatively small daemon (maybe comparable to Yarn?) that gives you access to the whole world of ActivityPub, then, well, yeah … That’s tough to beat.

Yes, I am running snac on the same VPS where I run my yarn pod. I heard of it from @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no, so blame him 😏 snac is written in C and is one simple executable, uses very little resources on the server, and stores everything in JSON files (no databases or other integrations; easy to save and migrate your data) . It’s definitely like yarn in that respect.

I haven’t been around yarn much lately. Part of that is that I’ve been very busy at work and home and only have a limited time to spend goofing off on a social network. Part of it is that I’m finding snac very useful: I’ve connected with friends I’d previously lost touch with, I’ve found useful work-related information, I’ve found colleagues to follow, and even found interesting conferences to attend. There’s a lot more going on over there.

I guess if I had to put it simply, I’d say I have limited time to play and there are more kids in the ActivityPub sandbox than this one. That’s not a ding on yarn–I like yarn and twtxt–I’m just time constrained.

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, that sh!t is pure (net)art!

@dfaria@twtxt.net the difference is that these other servers does not post several times a day with content that are not informative/interesting to people outside your academic context, which can be perceived as noise.

What @prologic@twtxt.net have done is what I would call curation of the service he offers to the world for free (as in beer). It’s no one right to have their posts syndicated to the frontpage of twtxt.net, it’s simply a gift he gives to the world and he is free (as in speak) to wrap is anyway he sees fit.

@dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu I hope you stay around 🌞

@prologic@twtxt.net and @bender@twtxt.net for a start a single user twtxt/yarn pod could look like this 😉

I just “published” a #draft on my blog about “How I’ve implemented #webmentions for twtxt” (http://darch.dk/mentions-twtxt), so I wanted to know from you guys if you see yourself doing a similar thing with yarnd @prologic@twtxt.net or others with custom setups?

👋 Hello @ethanmitchell@anthony.buc.ci, welcome to Buccipod, a Yarn.social Pod! To get started you may want to check out the pod’s Discover feed to find users to follow and interact with. To follow new users, use the ⨁ Follow button on their profile page or use the Follow form and enter a Twtxt URL. You may also find other feeds of interest via Feeds. Welcome! 🤗

The wording can be more subtle like “This feed have not seen much activity within the last year” and maybe adding a UI like I did in timeline showing time ago for all feeds

Image

I agree that it good to clean up the Mastodon re-feeds, but it should also be okay for anyone to spin up a twtxt.txt just for syndicating they stuff from blog or what ever.

The “not receiving replies” could partly be fixed by implementing a working webmentions for twtxt.txt

Its quite nice. I have been half tempted to make a twtxt client with it

@shreyan@twtxt.net first you must clearly explain what a monad is.

@hecanjog@hecanjog.com You need to include the full URL for the audio file for this to work across servers/pods ;)

yes i know @bender@twtxt.net, it’s on my to-do

yes i know @bender@twtxt.net, it’s on my to-do

@bender@twtxt.net you can over at http://darch.dk/timeline/conv/ba3xbfa or by looking at the raw txt https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt
I can’t help it that twtxt.net only have temporary caching ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@adi@twtxt.net (I would not object to someone wanting to throw FFRDC-class money at P9F, if you’ve got a lead! ☺)

@prologic@twtxt.net because the downside of over-leveraging yourself is you lose your house.. or more.

Thanks for your feedback @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org. For some reason i missed it until now. For now I have implemented endpoint discovery for #webmentions as a metadata field in the twtxt.txt like this:
# webmention = http://darch.dk/timeline/webmention

And now added #filter for replies too:

Image

@adi@twtxt.net No, thinking much bigger than that at the moment: http://a.9srv.net/b/us-osqi

Added support for #tag clouds and #search to timeline. Based on code from @dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu🙏

Hi @movq@www.uninformativ.de, is it better now?
I have put in a psudo twthash since I did not archive from a specific date/post, but just what I did not find relevant to keep in my main feed.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk a poem about me giving Odo a free bucket:

A glint in his eye, a sly, Ferengi grin,
Quark crossed the promenade, a curious thing within.
No jeweled trinket, no weapon so grand,
But a simple pail held tight in his hand.

Odo, the Constable, with a brow raised high,
“A bucket, Quark? What trickery do you try?”
The Ferengi huckster, with a salesman’s flair,
“A gift, my friend, a constable’s rare!”

“For those late-night spills, a morphing mishap,
This bucket, dear Odo, will catch every scrap.
And should a suspect turn to goop and flee,
This pail’s the answer, a guarantor, you see!”

Odo’s lips twitched, a hint of a smile,
At Quark’s twisted logic, his mercantile style.
“Perhaps,” he conceded, the bucket held tight,
“A useful addition, in the pursuit of right.”

So Quark made his sale, with a wink and a nod,
A bucket for Odo, a Ferengi oddity, odd.
But on Deep Space Nine, where chaos takes hold,
Even a pail can be worth more than gold.

About the account, thanks, but I already have way too many. :-D

you need to send an email @quark@ferengi.one if you want an account. I know that it might not be very profitable. Maybe Odo can disclose it if I give him a new bucket.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I’m over here now. And yes I can send a PR to repo or your are welcome to add it. Credits also to @eapl.me@eapl.me for making a working yarn compatible parser.
