@prologic@twtxt.net I … Knew it! 🤣 I was even gonna throw in a joke about it in IRC.

Been down for +7 effing hours … Power went out for a while and I didn’t even bother to check if things went back up normally afterwards. and guess what? they didn’t 🤡

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Did we just have had a world-wide bonus summer day out of nowhere !!? It was dry and hot all day long in here as well and still is now at night.

@prologic@twtxt.net

What’s made you unlock twitch.tv?
A couple of events where my only choices for watching them are: Twitch, Youtube or Fartbook.
What are you doing differently?
TL;DR: I stopped going there unless I have to for the reason above.

I used to spend Waaaaay too much time on the platform. I had a whole setup using Streamlink, MPV and Chatterino where sometimes, I’d have up to 10 concurrent open streams all day long on a secondary monitor (thanks to tiling window managers’ magic), some I was interested in watching, some I moderated for a couple of friends and some I’ve had open just for support (helping new streamers in the community with their numbers till they take off and such). Theeen something happened to one of my loved ones, so I had to stop all the nonsense and spend that time and attention with the person who deserves it the most. I blocked the platform at first since I had a habit to type twit... as soon as I opened a browser 😅 (addiction is real) and now I don’t. (That reflex got replaced with typing twtxt... instead 😂)

@bender@twtxt.net Nobody would notice if stopped auto-syncing my twtxt file 3:) and If I’m careful enough I’d have plenty of time to fix my mess

@prologic@twtxt.net I can only tell you why I do xD although, I don’t need to anymore.

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net you mean This? if your browser doesn’t jump to the 00h26m56s time(-frame?) automatically you know where to look ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net HAHA, It was the right tool for the task. 😆👍

@prologic@twtxt.net I went in way too late for @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s presentation but just in time for the mosh-pit talk 🤘 I’ll have to dig through the Vods afterwards.

I ended up deploying an OpenGist instead! unlike MicroBin, the whole things went smoother than posting a twt 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net It has been ages since the last time yt-dl worked for me … maybe give yt-dlp a try?

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just seen that one as well as MicroBin on selfh.st , it looks prettier on your instance than it did on their live demo 😆. But I’ve already started playing around with microBin and will see how things go from there.

I guess I should setup some kind of past-bin or something, I bet somebody’s already angry about them last couple of long twts 😅 Sorry, not sorry! but I’ll try to fix that.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt No it’s all good… I’ve just rebuilt it from master and it doesn’t look like anything is broken:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What!? why would anyone Geo-lock a documentary about Foxes !!? 🤦

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org AWESOME! it’ll definitely come up handy… 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net Glad you could find it useful … as for like I’m glad they’re not a thing here xD otherwise we wouldn’t be having as much conversations going on in here. but I get it, and do appreciate it. 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net Gave it a try on Termux same thing @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt uses and it worked 👍

P.S: I may have effed up changing htwtxt’s files directory to /srv/htwtxt when the command itself defaults to /root/htwtxt so you’ll have to throw in a -dir whenever you issue an htwtxt command (i.e: htwtxt -adduser somename:somepwd -dir /srv/htwtxt … etc)

@bender@twtxt.net I built my own, a much smaller one with a multi stage build… shouldn’t that do the trick? 🤔

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I tried to go install github.com/plomlompom/htwtxt@1.0.7 as well as

# this is snippet from what I used for the Dockerfile but I guess it should work just fine.
cd ~/go/pkg && wget -O htwtxt.tar.gz https://github.com/plomlompom/htwtxt/archive/refs/tags/1.0.7.tar.gz 
tar xf htwtxt.tar.gz && cd htwtxt-1.0.7 && go mod init htwtxt && go mod tidy && go install htwtxt

both worked just fine…

@bender@twtxt.net here… Enjoy 🦊🧡 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de been getting so sloppy my feed is slowly turning into a fox nursery, I might end up renaming it into nature-reserve.txt

@bender@twtxt.net highly probably, unless I learn go and implement it myself (or someone else more capable does) … but I’m so lazy I’d just copy them from twtxt.net and call it a day xD and yeah, it’s kinda rough the way things are…

• I don’t see a way to follow others, all I can do is go to the /feeds URI for a list of the server’s users/feeds.
  
• I still couldn’t figure out how to get a direct link to a user’s twtxt file, curling /feeds/usernick spits out a list of the user usernick twts, so I guess you could use that to follow them.
  
• no way to add in your # nick = usernick / # url = proto://domain.ltd/path/to/twtxt.txt …etc. Probably because that wasn’t part of the spec back then?
  

So yeah, it would make for a nice project while learning Go. :P

@bender@twtxt.net Yep! Twtxt spec by the letter I guess 🥲

Ever made an Oopsie, fixed it then Fuxed it up all over again? That’s clearly my queue to get AFK … Have a good one TWTXT!

well… 🦊

I’m getting way too comfortable with editing twts and fixing Eff’ ups… I gotta stop auto-syncing my twtxt file, at least I’ll have a breathing room for quick fixes when needed. I know, Michael Lucas might not approve of this but, I wouldn’t want the @yarn_police@twtxt.net in the middle of the night, right?

Alright, I gave #htwtxt container a quick spin. The thing lives and feels dead simple, like, echo -e “date -Im\tHello world!” >> twtxt.txt kind of simple but with a GUI. and I LOVE IT! Now let’s see if we can rebuild the image with the latest version of htwtxt.

@bender@twtxt.net + a 9 years old container image by the good ol’ buckket himself … not sure what to expect from that but will give it a quick spin and report back

@bender@twtxt.net I kinda fixed it, but there’s still a hell lot more than that still waiting to be fixed 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Aye Aye, Captain 🫡

@bender@twtxt.net 😆 Would calling it a Single user Twtxt "Yarn Pod **Like**" software help you sleep better at night? And just in case things are not clear here, I’m being sarcastic (well, kinda…) and not trying to gaslight anyone. Think of my comment as Bromance or something like that LOL.

But seriously, Just like any UNIX-Like system to Unix™, as in non of them are UNIX™, but each of them is providing more or less similar experience and re-implementing what once was parts of “UNIX™ software” their own (more or less better) ways. Timeline is Yarn™ Pod like, (my personal take on the word pod is: “an instance of XYZ software acting an escape POD from X-BS for… ABC reasons.”) providing more or less of a similar experience, implementing some of Yarn.social Extensions, trying to add in some more …etc.

Otherwise, I don’t see the Yarn pod mention as some kind of malicious manoeuvre, but more of a tribute to what (might have) sparked inspiration for creating Timeline? Also, our friend @sorenpeter@darch.dk here has got a valid reason for using PHP (#tms7aka) so let’s let’s put our unease towards the language itself aside and maybe just help however/as much as we can in order to make internet (the World?) a better place.

Ok, I’ve restored the misplaced twts … let’s just hope I didn’t make things worst xD

@bender@twtxt.net … a Twtxt Pod then 🤷

@bender@twtxt.net Haha! I assume you can’t see the original twt, let me quote for you so you know what I’m responding to:

2024-11-20T07:56:00-06:00 (#gjhq2xq) Hey! I tried running Timeline on my server with the default PHP version (8.3) and it’s giving me a few errors https://eapl.me/timeline/ I should be sending a PR soon to fix it ;)
source: eaplme’s twtxt file.

Also, it’s running on a RPi and slow AF so, brace yourselves for them Server Timeouts 😅

I’ve just unlocked access to my /timeline if anyone has been trying to access it earlier.

@eapl.me@eapl.me adding public $timestamp; to the class Twt in libs/twtxt.php (line 25) fixed that for me but probably broken something else 😅 …

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de exactly! 😂 I accidentally duplicated a twt and deleted it as fast as I can, hoping nobody pulled the feed by then.

@bender@twtxt.net > which feed of his are you following? the .mx or the .me one? I was replaying to THIS TWT

Ok, hopefully nobody did pull that 🦊⬆ 😅

@eapl.me@eapl.me Yeah, that’s exactly why I’m asking. I’ve been having a couple of errors here and there even though I’m using PHP 8.2 … Mostly somethings about undefined array keys and creation of dynamic properties being deprecated (CC: @sorenpeter@darch.dk )

Sweeet! and yeah, I’ve been trying to figure the formatting thing out (amongst other things lol) it looks like the mere presence of a # sign creates new links and breaks others.

@prologic@twtxt.net Not much Other than playing around with @soren@darch.dk ’s Timeline … it’s been quite fun so far. (I’m twting from there by the way 😁)

Morning, be good!

Hey @sorenpeter@darch.dk what version of PHP do you run Timeline on?

@bender@twtxt.net HAHAHAHA xD I’ll do my best and try not to forget chanting: “Sic transit gloria mundi” as I package it for shipping.

@bender@twtxt.net You’d be surprised how many lifetime old accounts I still have, scattered all over the internet. I just don’t have much energy to go through deleting each and every single one of them. xD and here is a bonus image for LOLs

Image

So long Blue Birdy 👋 it was a … Never mind, GTFO of my life already! 😆

@bender@twtxt.net I still have my Famicom from when I was 5 or so and this makes me think I might get away with selling it’s manual for pretty money instead of just framing it and hanging by the desk … wanna buy it? 😂

@bender@twtxt.net ROFLMAO! 🤣

… but using the service itself is considered enough compensation.

@bender@twtxt.net Sorry, I feel like I have to … 😅

Image

@prologic@twtxt.net Same here… Twtxt and Mastodon are more than enough for me. I used to have a BSky account with my own domain name as a handle (which I ended up deleting after a while) and even taught about running my own PDS and the whole nine yards but, it didn’t feel like it was worth the hassle.

/me (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Oh! a new feed to follow! Welcome in @wbknl@twtxt.net 👋 looking forward to reading your twts!

@bender@twtxt.net take care buddy, Have fun! … and, I can stick a pinky in a tangerine like I’m five and it’s orange, does that count?

@prologic@twtxt.net hmm, it sounds like homework! 🤔 I’m IN!! 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah I’ve played with it for a bit and read through the code hoping I could steal some of your regex. I’m trying to up my awk(1p) game but failing miserably. 😆

I remember having seen one somewhere but can’t remember where.

Been curious to see if can filter out my access.log file and output a list of my twtxt followers just in case I’ve missed someone … I came up with this awk -F '\"' '/twtxt/ {print $(NF-1)}' /var/log/user.log | grep -v 'twtxt\.net' | sort -u | awk '{print $(NF-1) $NF}' | awk '/^\(/' spaghetti monster of a command and I’m wondering if there’s a more elegant way for achieving the same thing.

@quark@ferengi.one That’s the actual plan for the night, I’m just waiting on a clearer sky. 😆

@david@collantes.us No worries, I got you. And I’ll keep the “Handle with care” reminder in mind, might even use it as mantra if I ever take an arrow in the knee 😆

@david@collantes.us I’m already prepared to blame it on tonight’s full moon if it doesn’t. 🐺

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt here! create a $HOME/.cache/mutt/twtxt/ directory for example and then add this set header_cache = $HOME/.cache/mutt/twtxt/ to your muttrc (the one you have set up for or use with jenny if you’re using different ones). That’s what helped me with that.

Ref: http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#header-caching

@bender@twtxt.net Here #sgvko5a 😁

@bender@twtxt.net That mention looks like @<bender bender@twtxt.net> on my side …

@rrraksamam@twtxt.net have the Invidious instances (alternative front-end to the platform) stop working? Otherwise, I have just figured my way around navigating PeerTube content and I wouldn’t even miss it if YT had to disappear from the internet.

@david@collantes.us How much of a computer does it have to be? Would a ZimaBoard do the trick? I don’t have a wife, so I wouldn’t know any better 😅

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I’ve been using weechat for a while then when I started learning my way around Emacs I switched to Circe … a couple months later I setup ZNC, rolled with it for some time but wasn’t sure if I wanted to stick with it. Now I’m mainly using TheLounge and do find it convenient accessing it from anywhere. but quite honestly, I don’t have a preference.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, sorry about that, I shouldn’t have put something like that out there in the fist place. It started as a completely different twit then I got overwhelmed noticing that I may have became the exact same thing I despise the most 🤦

@bender@twtxt.net Hehe! I’m flattered.

@prologic@twtxt.net Just gave this one a try to update my twtxt.txt file with a proper # follow = ... list! 🙏

Feeling suspicious about a little something and I, don’t like it -the feeling- a bit. Maybe I’m just being paranoid… but most probably I’m just being an ignorant judgemental piece of shit and I hate myself for it already.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Awesome! I’ll dig in as soon as I come back from my late night stroll

LMAO!!! The bitreich landing page is hilarious 😂

”… we only store good cake recipes, this complies with the GCPR - General Cookie Protection Ruling“

Alas, I can’t get myself to resist. Interacting with tech and software makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop: “I wanna taste all of it! Find my favorite Lollipop and wonder about where it came from, who made it? How is it possible to turn any kind of mushy juicy fruit into a hard, forever lasting candy in a freaking stick!? Oh, Wait!! Is THAT chocolate over there!!?”

I’m not even supposed to do be doing any of this, I should be making stuff* with Shapes, forms and color instead of poking at software with a stick like a caveman. 😆

*Stuff: Things I make and refuse to call Art, unless I have to in a resume and what not.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Although my recent breakage/down time was more of a result of human error than it is something to blame on software itself, I do get your point; and will highly probably end up going the same route in the near future. It’s just that in order to south my forever itching curiosity, I have to learn and try some things first.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site Hi back at you!! 👋 and nice to meet you!

I believe it’s about time I learned to use Treafik.

Yeah I know! My ship was sinking and I’ve just noticed. Patched up the holes and now we’re back afloat.

Apparently I am incapable of getting my sh…Things done unless I drop to TTY xD

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Touch Typing GIGA-CHAD spotted how fast do you type? I can barely do 12wpm xD so I have plenty of time to think about my next short-cut.

@bmallred@staystrong.run Sweeeeeeeeeeet!! Just gave it a try and sorted my Jenny follow list; Thank you !!

@prologic@twtxt.net Sure!! gg=G auto-indents your documents, as for the rest it’s:

• v for selection mode, c for change and d for delete actions as usual.
  
• followed by either ‘afor around ori` for inside/in-between whatever special character comes after it
  _ the [, (, “ … special characters define the perimeter/extent of the action.
  

i.e: ci" would be change the text under the cursor between quotes and da[ _delete text and brackets included_

I’ve linked a reference in the first twt, hope you find it useful.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah, that’s the thing! I’ve been trying to learn more vim motions and I just can’t get myself to remember any… Now I have that cheat sheet bookmarked, I can look them up on the need to know basis.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I watched it the other day, it’s pretty neat! do you have more of these?

Learned to gg=G and to va", ci", di{… in vim the other day 😆 Life will never be the same, I can feel it. ref

Note to self: “If your dashboard says you sh..t is down, it means your sh..t is down. It’s not a dashboard miss-config you dumb azz” 😆

FINALLY!! I figured my way around daemonizing #saltyd with an rc.d init script with logs and all! 🥳 still have to try a tiny modification before writing that thing… I hope it doesn’t Bork it 😅

@prx@si3t.ch If you were to read this, I would’ve suggested that you gave Podman a try… alas, you won’t.

Pulled an all nighter for nothing 😅 but hey, better paranoid than sorry!

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Much appreciated!! 🙏 I’ll go through the files and see if I can understand any of it. I might learn a thing or two along the way.

@prologic@twtxt.net would you please check my web interface? is that a normal thing or am I missing something?

Anyone has saltyd actually up and running? my deployment was a mess … will tell you all about it when I wake up 😅
