@jlj@twt.nfld.uk right now the getwtxt-ng source is in a private repo on github, though I may move it to sr.ht for its primary home (and just mirror it to github)

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk Ooh fantastic. I love shots like this!

@jlj@twt.nfld.uk Lol! Fantastic that your grandma has been able to live to that age! My grandfather made it to 96, quite healthy and happy, and actually walking around by himself until the end. Best wishes of health!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Your scenario would produce observed behaviour, agreed. On the other side I’m sure I’ve set very URL in lasttwt > 1630000000.0 (manually, in my editor).

But I can’t reproduce any weird behaviour right now. I’ve tried to “blackhole” twt.nfld.uk temporarily. That does not have any effect.

I’ve also tried to force twt.nfld.uk to deliver an empty twtxt. That does not have any effect either.

So I guess everything is fine with jenny.

I have wrapped jenny into some shell script to versionize ~/.cache/jenney. This way I have better data if anything unexprected is showing again.
