@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org would it work wit cats instead? there has been a whole flock of them in the neighborhood the last couple of days, one female and a gazillion males taking turns 😅 … at least they’d be good for something other than their non-stop after midnight opera 😂

In-reply-to » @aelaraji oooh databag looks cool

yes it is! although, I’ve only used it to send files and links back and fourth between devices xD none of my relatives wanted to give it a try, which is kinda fair enough (I wouldn’t use WhatsApp if they asked) xD

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Huh? 🤔 I’m curious to what other features you’d want from a messaging app! Also, you can easily send in a couple of feature requests, the dev is pretty receptive 👌

In-reply-to » I have managed to make the fetching of feeds asynchronous. To do this I have set up a small system of task queue. All requests are executed at the same time! 🚀 https://codeberg.org/andros/twtxt-el/src/branch/develop #twtxtel #emacs

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Sweeeeet! Just gave it a try, you’ve done a wonderful work 🫡 I wanted to replay from there but couldn’t go past the first page of the feed. It kept freezing on me and complaining about some bad Url (as mentioned on the test twt), so I’ll have to dig through my follow list and see where I effed up this time. 😅

Here’s a twt from @andros@twtxt.andros.dev ’s new version of Twtxt-el 🥳 It feels WAaaaaY better! although it freezes on me as soon as I navigate to the next page complaining about some bad url, but the chronological sorting of the feed as well as the navigation buttons (links?) are a great addition. Looking forward to the next update already! 😁 🥳🥳🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net 😆 There was something weird going on with my #Timeline instance, the text input box was visible even though I was logged out and I was able to twt from it … It has to do with cache because it wouldn’t disappear unless I whip my website’s cache from the browser.

Two days later Holly Shi_ … I got to see all four at the same time! 😲 Venus and Saturn on one side, Mars a tiny bit bellow the rising Moon on the other side then Jupiter in between but more towards the moon and mars half of the sky.

I'm proud to say that the code that is responsible for reading the feeds is almost finished, including: Twt Hash Extension, Twt Subject Extension, Multiline Extension and Metadata Extension. I'm fine-tuning some tests and will soon do the first buffer that displays the twts.

That’s pretty awesome @ ! I’ve seen your contributions to twtxt-el and wondering if you’ve been updating the same one or made another from scratch. either way, I can’t wait to give it a try! 🙌 cheers

No, seriously… :diffoff is used to disable vim’s diff mode that’s usually started running vim -d someFile someOtherFile or by having both files on a split window and applying :diffthis on both panes. (just learned this this morning)

@prologic@twtxt.net No I’m not trying to standardize the domains themselves xD I was just hinting at filtering cases where nick is identical to a level of a domain; in order to show shorter format nicks within clients, i.e: @nick.domain.ltd or @nick.ltd instead of a @nick@nick.domain.ltd or @nick@nick.ltd. Just like what @sorenpeter@darch.dk already did with the nick = domain case. (unless I’m missing the point)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I know, nobody asked 🤡 but, here are a couple of suggestions:

  • If you’re willing to pay for a licence I’d highly recommend plasticity it’s under GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 3.
  • Otherwise if you already have experience with CAD/Parametric modeling you could give freeCAD a spin, it’s under GNU Library General Public License, version 2.0, it took them years but have just recently shipped their v1.0 👍
  • or just roll with Autodesk’s Fusion for personal use, if you don’t mind their “Oh! You need to be online to use it” thing.

(Let’s face it, Blender is hard to use.)
I bet you’re talking about blender 2.79 and older! 😂 you are, right? JK

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Damn! I’ve been there, and it sucks when it comes to that. and I may be hallucinating but I believe there was some dll file I had to download and put somewhere in blender’s folder and that got it to work back then. Also, what’s the latest version of #blender you could run?

In-reply-to » (#pbs27pq) @prologic sure! I don't know if this is what you need but, let me give it a try.

@prologic@twtxt.net sure! I don’t know if this is what you need but, let me give it a try.

  • I have Timeline installed, which has an endpoint to process #webmentions. Mine for example is https://aelaraji.com/timeline/webmention which you can find by querying https://aelaraji.com/.well-known/webfinger.
  • If you mention someone from #Timeline itself, it takes care of querying that and sending in the mention for you.
  • Otherwise (what I personally do) you could just:
curl -i -d 'source=https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt#:~:text=2024-12-09T01:22:37Z' -d 'target=https://aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt' https://aelaraji.com/timeline/webmention

basically what @sorenpeter@darch.dk mentioned in his article Here.

Afterwards, the mentions are stored in their own mentions.txt feed. The one from the example above looks like this on my Timeline :

Feel free to spam my endpoint if you’d like to give things a try. 👍

[P.S: personally, I don’t seem to get the mentions if I add the Text fragment part to my target]

In-reply-to » Did I write here already that the reason why I love Twtxt so much is that it works without having to compile, install anything extra. Just the bin applications that come with 95% of all operating systems and you're good to read and participate, giving you have a domain name somewhere to host the twtxt.txt file.
