@prologic@twtxt.net Righteo, so rookie error - I obviously had some untracked, rather important files for starting my pod and I ran a make clean. Why I originally had them in the git directory is anyone’s guess. Anyway it blew away those files including the database so that’s that. So your good self and @bender@twtxt.net etc - apologies but your profiles got nuked as well (as did my own but easily recreated).
Another thing I noticed which was the reason I ran make clean in the first place. I noticed my pod was being built with Go 1.22.4. Could this be a problem @prologic? preflight.sh actually errors out about it…
@bender@twtxt.net Hmmmm I’m not sure about this… 🧐 Does anyone have any other opinions that know this web/session security better than me?
@prologic@twtxt.net on the the timeline with mentions filter I missing the latest mention that comes up in the mentions page.
Oh.. And you are mentioning my dev instance here 😄
@prologic@twtxt.net how do i enable htmx? i built latest main
@movq@www.uninformativ.de A Honest response: As far as I’m concerned, It’s main feature is … I’m bored and ready to try anything that crosses my path, might learn a thing or two along the way. 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net Can’t pin point what changed and I’m not sure if it’s some placebo effect or something but it feels quite nice! 😂👍✨
I’m still alive ! Here’s a quick, brainless recap dump before I switch back to the other side:
- Been daily driving FreeBSD on the o(ther)ld machine for the last couple of days.
- Read through the handbook, played around with jails, pulled on my hair because of network issues (I think I might have maybe fixed that) … etc.
- Still procrastinating over migrating my Jenny/Mutt setup out there. until then, I’ll be getting my Twtxt fix reading through conversations over on the twtxt.net ✌
- Gave a couple of Nostr based platforms a try, it was … not for me to say the least.
- Started learning Emacs (I know, I’m in trouble LOL) and might even start twtin’ from there instead.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Product activation? Oh.. I never had to deal with that. I always had the CD-R XP Pro version with the enterprise key written in sharpie that my brother got somehow.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Just don’t install windows 11. I believe XP is peak Windows OS anyhow.
@bmallred@staystrong.run yep! it’s all good now! 👍
@prx@si3t.ch J’espère que vous allez bien. Et c’est fous comme histoire, j’ai vu exactement la même sur BFM ce matain où le conducteur âgé (70 ans et quelques si je me rappelle bien) impliqué dans l’accident a fini par percuter quelqu’un d’autre quelques minutes après le premier accident.
@prologic@twtxt.net i’ve used it on some small side projects and it was great. my 8-5 gig isn’t too keen on it yet which wasn’t surprising.

@prologic@twtxt.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org about time i got my act together
@prologic@twtxt.net cool, i’ll update shortly!
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com great find! i’ll update that :)
@bmallred@staystrong.run No I was trying the other one I got from logs, it’s missing the /user subdirectory:
"GET /twtxt.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 27110 "-" "nahongvita/0.1.0 (+https://staystrong.run/bmallred/twtxt.txt; @bmallred)"
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com hi, is it this path you are trying?
@prologic@twtxt.net it was great to meet ya’ll!
@prologic@twtxt.net thanks! i normally enjoy the long runs because i just zone out.
@prologic@twtxt.net The old options are still valid, so “Show latest post per feed” should just be added as a 3th.
I think it is a good addition. Similar to how the Fraidycat RSS reader works. Fraidyc.at also support twtxt, but have not seen any updates since 2021…
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thank you!
👋 Well that was great! 👍 Our Yarn.social Online Meetup for the 25th May 2024 (after a long hiatic) was a great success! 🥳 Thank you to @darch@neotxt.dk @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @xuu@txt.sour.is and @bmallred@staystrong.run for joining today 🙇♂️ It was great to see and talk to y’all 🤗
Let’s do this again next month! Last Saturday of each month 👌 The ~4hr window worked quite well too I think 🤔
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I think that’s the correct URL: https://staystrong.run/user/bmallred/twtxt.txt
@prologic@twtxt.net Not anymore LOL
@movq@www.uninformativ.de It looks like this one actually reads the robots.txt … it did a couple of times over the past few weeks.
“GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1” 304 0 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; GPTBot/1.0; +https://openai.com/gptbot)”
@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! 👍✨
