@bender@twtxt.net well… reading through This I can but wonder if it is defending anything at all…
@movq@www.uninformativ.de it is an interesting thing to do. I mean, he found a way to fool Defender, but why? A disabled Defender is worthless, and that’s what he is doing. If I were to use Microsoft Windows, I would want the Defender to be bonafide active.
@prologic@twtxt.net Well, that’s just sad! I’d hoped it would be as much of nice experience as it is around here…
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve been using Qwant for a while but it was down earlier today (as well 😆) so I switched back to my trusty Searx Redirector
… This utility forwards your search query to one of 11 random volunteer-run public servers to thwart mass surveillance.
Hello @bmallred@staystrong.run I hope you’re doing well.
I dunno if it’s normal, but it seems like I am unable to access your twtxt.tx file… 😅
Oh Look!! There’s a Twtxt #IRC channel ! 😃
insert inappropriate word here ! 🤣 I have finally done it !!!
@bender@twtxt.net yes! That’s how I ended up doing it after a bit of trial and error with a couple of VMs 👍
@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just discovered @thecanine@twtxt.net and @iolfree@tilde.club ’s feeds. I believe you already know of them 👍
@prologic@twtxt.net 1. allow only members of your pod to submit feeds
- some kind of captcha (eew)
- probationary status after submittal which requires review of some sort
- 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
💡 Does anyone have any ideas for how to combat SPAM submissions to feeds.twtxt.net – An RSS/Atom -> Twtxt feed conversation service. Hmm? 🧐
@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you. I’m using Pixel Station. I can’t recommend it enough for this kind of pixelart, but it’s only available for Android.
The first and hopefully not last thing I drew this year (drawn yesterday). Kinda minimalistic and Scribble Kibble inspired.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I have this one as per some article I read some time ago… But just like the robots.txt I don’t think you have any grantee that it would be honored, you might even have a better chance hunting for and blocking user-agents.
@aelaraji@mastodon.social @aelaraji@aelaraji.com Aw, thanks. I should install a twtxt client I guess… But I prefere rss, so for now, it’s just a twtxt2atom script doing the job :)
@prx@si3t.ch something like this? https://labs.tineye.com/multicolr
Interesting. Thanks! And thank you for replying. :) Indeed, I don’t check for mention with twtxt. To me, twtxt is to share, not to talk: there is my email commented at the top of my #twtxt.txt for this purpose. Trying to create discussions with twtxt is nonsens : there are much better tools to do so (email, xmpp, …) @aelaraji@aelaraji.com @im-in.space@im-in.space
@prx@si3t.ch there is this ImageGoNord thing I’d found reading an Eww Bar article a couple of months ago… It lets you convert a wallpaper/image to conform to a color pallet, hope you fine it useful.
@prologic@twtxt.net Wait! That’s actually a Mastodon(.)social one! 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net LOL fare enough! I’ll keep that in mind fir future twts … I hope invidious instances are ok 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks! I’ll definitely need it !!
@mckinley@mckinley.cc I’ve just given it a try and built a signal desktop AppImage from source, since they only distribute deb packages… I’m actually quite impressed! 👍✨
@movq@www.uninformativ.de imagine remapping them to reboot and shutdown instead. That would be fun, wouldn’t it? 😂
Good night Twtxt!
/me have to get some sleep before loosing a leg or two to cramps … fatigue is real! 😅
@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?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m personally using the android app as is. Didn’t set up my own notifications server, the default one works just fine I guess.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de can’t Ntfy help with that? That’s how I get my signal notifications (I think).
This guide may me of help…
Good luck!
Hey @bmallred@staystrong.run 👋 Can you see this? 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net Oh! sorry about that! I’m ok with signal.
@prologic@twtxt.net I tried to but couldn’t. Also, I was prompted to resend the email elsewhere… Will do in a minute. 👍
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I think you tried to email me with an encrypted GPG email? 📧 Unfortunately the inbox you sent to (managed by Google Workspaces / GMail) isn’t equipped with any GPG or my keys so I had to decrypt by hand, which sux. Are you on Signal?
Alternative message me on Salty IM (https://salty.im) at prologic@mills.io
- The “Story of my life” (the less serious answer)
- Being “The Black Sheep” from the old tale ? (the serious answer)
@prologic@twtxt.net I was replaying to your twt and thing got too long and messy, so I emailed you. I hope you don’t mind.
@Rob@jsreed5.org Coming from HTTP and discovered both at the same time, my preference might be biased towards Gemini because of the content syntax but I love both equally.
@prologic@twtxt.net hmm… it sounds like being stuck in a “Filter bubble”. 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net Checking it out right away! Thanks!
👋 Okay folks, let’s startup the Yarn.social calls again.
- Event: Yarn.social Online Meetup
- When: 25th May 2024 at 12:00pm UTC (midday)
- Where: Mills Meet : Yarn.social
- Cadence: 4th Saturday of every Month
Agenda:
Anything we want to talk about. Twtxt, Yarn, self hosting, cool stuff you’ve been working on. chit-chat, whatever 😅
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I think you’ll find it simpler to use zs
@shreyan@twtxt.net Nothing much, still trying to figure out a proper way to manage a gemlog and a phlog using Hugo.
Otherwise, I’m just exploring new tty stuff … Anything I should try?
prx parle de twtxt et dmenu https://si3t.ch/log/archives/2020-10-21.txt
@prologic@twtxt.net Awesome! I guess that fixed it. Unless @bender@twtxt.net sees otherwise LOL.
p.s: Broken mentions again?
.vimrc:
@movq@www.uninformativ.de You ARE AWESOME!
I was RTFMing trying to figure out how to set this up in my .vimrc Thank you!
:set formatoptions-=t in vim would stop the annoying line breaking I've been having in my twts... And I guess, that's it! Things are looking OK on my end.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com That’s the trick, yep. 👍 I have something like this in my .vimrc:
au BufRead,BufNewFile jenny-posting.eml setl fo-=t wrap
:set formatoptions-=t in vim would stop the annoying line breaking I've been having in my twts... And I guess, that's it! Things are looking OK on my end.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Looks okay here for me, but then again I’m not as pedantic as @pedantic@arrakis.netbros.com 🤣 
@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I’ve been having this problem for quite sometime now. It boils down to Vi/Vim/NeoVim inserting those line breaks automatically when editing an .eml file (if I can remember the file extension correctly) … I think Jenny makes use of those. I had to delete them manually until I was told that the problem was fixed after I added the charset utf-8; to my nginx config file. I’ll try and fix this next…
@bender@twtxt.net LOL! Been there, done that! I can go on for weeks without any of it. Not even a phone, I don’t have that many responsibilities to need one on me all the time. Life is much simpler like that.
@bender@twtxt.net /me taking notes for future twts …
Sorry for the confusion lads! o.o’
@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!
