Hi everyone, here’s a little introduction of my twtxt client (still WIP).
The client I’m developing is a single tenant project that runs entirely in the browser (it might use an optional backend).
It’s entirely based on native web-components and vanilla JS, it is designed to act closer to a toolkit than a full-fledged client, allowing users to “DIY” their own interface with pure html or plain javascript functions.
Users can also build their own engines by including a global javascript object that implement the defined internal API (TBD).
I’m planning to build a system that is easy enough to build and use with any skill level, using only pure html (with a homebrew minimal template engine) or via plain JS (I’ll be also providing some pre-made templates too).
Everything can be self-hosted on any static hosting provider, this allows to spread twtxt within communities like Neocities and similarly hosted websites (basically any Indieweb/Smallweb/Digital garden website and any of the common GitHub/Lab/Berg/lify Pages).
It will be probably named something like TxtCraft or craf.txt but I’m not really sure yet… 🤔 (Maybe some suggestions could help)
I’m still in the experimental phase, so there’s no decent source-code to share yet, but it will soon enough!

@prologic Hmm, good question. I haven’t checked the market, I got mine from someone I know. But to be honest, I’d suspect that buying a used one is actually your best shot, because there is virtually no market for these devices anymore, meaning new ones are very, very expensive. 🫤

@prologic@twtxt.net Here’s one: https://github.com/vmykh/printer_labs/blob/master/escp2ref.pdf
whaaaat. how did i get here? last time I used gopher/veronica/etc was in the mid 90s, in the Temple University computer labs. Probably on a DEC Ultrix Unix account
I’ve just released version 1.0 of twtxt.el (the Emacs client), the stable and final version with the current extensions. I’ll let the community maintain it, if there are interested in using it. I will also be open to fix small bugs.
I don’t know if this twt is a goodbye or a see you later. Maybe I will never come back, or maybe I will post a new twt this afternoon. But it’s always important to be grateful. Thanks to @prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de @eapl.me@eapl.me @bender@twtxt.net @aelaraji@aelaraji.com @arne@uplegger.eu @david@collantes.us @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt @xuu@txt.sour.is @sorenpeter@darch.dk for everything you have taught me. I’ve learned a lot about #twtxt, HTTP and working in community. It has been a fantastic adventure!
What will become of me? I have created a twtxt fork called Texudus (https://texudus.readthedocs.io/). I want to continue learning on my own without the legacy limitations or technologies that implement twtxt. It’s not a replacement for any technology, it’s just my own little lab. I have also made a fork of my own client and will be focusing on it for a while. I don’t expect anyone to use it, but feedback is always welcome.
Best regards to everyone.

Rediscovering Plan 9 from Bell Labs
During a weekend of tidying up – you know, the kind of chore where you’re knee-deep in old boxes before you realize it. Digging through the dusty cables and old, outdated user manuals, I found something that I had long forgotten: an old Plan 9 distribution. Judging by the faded ink and slight warping of the disk sleeve, it had to be from around 1994 or 1995. I couldn’t help but wonder: why had I kept this? Back then, I was curious about Plan 9. It was a forwar … ⌘ Read more

9front “THIS TIME DEFINITELY” released
The operating system I’m not cool enough to run has pushed out a new release: 9front “THIS TIME DEFINITELY” is now available. 9front is a fork of plan9, created after plan9 languished at Bell Labs. This release enables gefs, the new file system, in the installer, “ip/ipconfig now support dhcpv6 dynamic allocations and handles prefix expirations”, and it comes with some smaller changes, too, of course. Despite every piece of evidence to the contrary, I am s … ⌘ Read more

I’ve talked about how I do backups on unix a bunch of times, but someone asked again today and I realized I didn’t have it written down where I could point to. So I wrote a lab report: http://a.9srv.net/reports/index.html#vac-unix
Silicon Valley and Wall Street invent collateralized GPU obligations. Surely this will work out fine
Blackstone, Pimco, Carlyle, and BlackRock have so far lent $11 billion to GPU cloud companies — now apparently called “neoclouds” — such as CoreWeave, Crusoe, and Lambda Labs. The loans are collateralized by the neoclouds’ Nvidia GPUs.
Look ma, new asset bubble!
Blown away by the elegance of Hamming codes for error detection. Pure beauty. The folks at Bell Labs were such legends of their craft.

i’m going to be honest with you here: i despise protocol labs. IPFS/FileCoin is a scam. fuck that shit.
Bell Labs has now transferred Plan 9 to the Plan 9 Foundation, who has in turn re-released all releases under the MIT license. I am very excited about this. 🐇🎉
@anth@a.9srv.net Did you work at Bell Labs, did I read correctly?
