@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net
I actually love that one! But no. Mine will be a simple header and a
sub-header, breaking that ugly void. I might add in a couple of links
later but that will be it. Till I make a functional one.

@bender@twtxt.net I have nothing against GoToSocial, but:

GoToSocial stores statuses, accounts, etc, in a database. This can be either SQLite or Postgres.

snac is simpler. Some JSON files and that’s it. I can read them with jq and less. I can use tar to back them up. I can hand edit them in a text editor.

I think @abucci@anthony.buc.ci and @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no are running snac? I didn’t have a closer look at snac (no intention of running it), but if that is a relatively small daemon (maybe comparable to Yarn?) that gives you access to the whole world of ActivityPub, then, well, yeah … That’s tough to beat.

Yes, I am running snac on the same VPS where I run my yarn pod. I heard of it from @stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no, so blame him 😏 snac is written in C and is one simple executable, uses very little resources on the server, and stores everything in JSON files (no databases or other integrations; easy to save and migrate your data) . It’s definitely like yarn in that respect.

I haven’t been around yarn much lately. Part of that is that I’ve been very busy at work and home and only have a limited time to spend goofing off on a social network. Part of it is that I’m finding snac very useful: I’ve connected with friends I’d previously lost touch with, I’ve found useful work-related information, I’ve found colleagues to follow, and even found interesting conferences to attend. There’s a lot more going on over there.

I guess if I had to put it simply, I’d say I have limited time to play and there are more kids in the ActivityPub sandbox than this one. That’s not a ding on yarn–I like yarn and twtxt–I’m just time constrained.

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, that sh!t is pure (net)art!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Like deebs.net 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net It would definitely impress the Moroccan ones. Not sure about the other nationalities, though. 😅

(TL;DR: each country/region has it’s own dialect)

@bender@twtxt.net Oh, That sounds delicious! B’Saha![1]
I’m Glad you’ve had quite the productive! All I remember of mine is three chapters of an old novel at the coffee shop aaand … Now I’m here, in front of a computer. Everything in between is just Blank 😅

[1] B’saha: Moroccan word for “With health!” (a literal translation) usually used as an equivalent for the French expression “Bon Appétit!” but also used as “Congratulation!”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Roger that! 🫡

@prologic@twtxt.net It was one of (if not THE) first feed(s) I got to follow after discovering Twtxt and setting up my own.
It was quite nice for the first couple of hours, I’ve even got to explore a couple of @dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu’s articles.

Theeeeen… Things started to feel a bit overwhelming I had to “Clean Things Up!”.
Flushed my whole Jenny/Mutt cached twtxt feed and re-synced everything all over again.

But hey,
Good evening! 🎧🎵Guns N’ Roses - Live and let die.

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Well, Imagine getting to wake up around that same time, every, single, day. 🥱

(It ain’t as good of a live as it sounds though.)

@bender@twtxt.net TBH It was quite late (where I am) when I wrote that twt, way past 2 AM … 😅
But there wasn’t much activity during the day either. It got me wondering if there was something wrong with my cron task for fetching your feeds.

Maybe it’s just the weekends. + there isn’t much bloat content around this space as on the usual platforms anyway.

Is Yarn.social dead or just too niche? (uyrrria) 🧐

Hah 🤣 @dfaria@twtxt.net Your @dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu feed really does consume about >50% of a “Discover” search with filters “Without replies” and “Hide my posts”. 🤣 36/2 = 18 at 25 Twts per page, that’s about ~72% of the search/view real estate you’re taking up! wow 🤩 – I’d be very interested to hear what ideas you have to improve this? Those search filters were created so you could sift through either your own Timeline or the Discover view easily.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I just woke up fianally 🤣 It’s 12:45pm here (midday)

@dfaria@twtxt.net the difference is that these other servers does not post several times a day with content that are not informative/interesting to people outside your academic context, which can be perceived as noise.

What @prologic@twtxt.net have done is what I would call curation of the service he offers to the world for free (as in beer). It’s no one right to have their posts syndicated to the frontpage of twtxt.net, it’s simply a gift he gives to the world and he is free (as in speak) to wrap is anyway he sees fit.

@dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu I hope you stay around 🌞

@prologic@twtxt.net and @bender@twtxt.net for a start a single user twtxt/yarn pod could look like this 😉

I just “published” a #draft on my blog about “How I’ve implemented #webmentions for twtxt” (http://darch.dk/mentions-twtxt), so I wanted to know from you guys if you see yourself doing a similar thing with yarnd @prologic@twtxt.net or others with custom setups?

Je teste un nouveau moyen de poster sur twtxt via le courriel :-)

Wishing you a swift recovery @bender@twtxt.net

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah I know! 😅 I’ve checked their blog and mastodon earlier. That’s what inspired me to replay to their twt, just in case.

@jdtron@tilde.team you’d be surprised!
I just did :)

@prologic@twtxt.net I
wonder if there’s something I can add to this test feed’s metadata to get it unlisted so no
one follows it by accident.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I can’t say for sure. I didn’t even know how three-way merges work till I looked it up. I guess it’s more of git thing that would prove useful in the case of using passwordstore/pass.
As for Keepass, all I do is syncing it’s database file across devices using syncting. Never felt the need to try anything else.

I guess it is safe enough for my use case, with Backup database before saving on and custom Backup Path Placeholders as Backup plan in case of an Eff up.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Awesome! glad to hear that!

@mckinley@twtxt.net You definitely have got a point!

It is kind of a hassle to keep things in sync and NOT eff up.
It happened to me before but I was lucky enough to have backups elsewhere.
But, now I kind of have a workflow to avoid data loss while benefiting from both tools.

P.S: my bad, I meant Syncthing earlier on my original replay instead of Rsync. 🫠

The wording can be more subtle like “This feed have not seen much activity within the last year” and maybe adding a UI like I did in timeline showing time ago for all feeds

I agree that it good to clean up the Mastodon re-feeds, but it should also be okay for anyone to spin up a twtxt.txt just for syndicating they stuff from blog or what ever.

The “not receiving replies” could partly be fixed by implementing a working webmentions for twtxt.txt

@bender@twtxt.net can’t say for sure, but I believe it’s a JetBrainsMono Nerd Font … I’m kind of the set it and forget it type. but will try and check later to be sure.

@prologic@twtxt.net sure! Give me a couple of minutes to set things up.
Also, you can check the charset again, I did set it up even tho I do observe the problem in my twtxt.txt file on my local machine way before doing scp to the remote one. They show up when I use bat but not when I cat the file nor on neomut.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com a bit on the tangent, what font is that one on your screenshot?

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank
you! and here’s a twt with the said random characters, since I’ve been
cleaning them up manually, earlier before scp-ing my twtxt.txt file. And
maybe a screenshot of how things look in my editor?

Those new lines are added automatically as I type (except for the ones
after the screenshot.

@bender@twtxt.net I’m using both machines in English.

Checked my locale and it spits out:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NUMERIC=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TIME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_COLLATE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MONETARY=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MESSAGES=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_PAPER=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NAME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ADDRESS=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TELEPHONE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MEASUREMENT=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_IDENTIFICATION=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ALL=

🤷🏽 … and that only happens when vi, vim or nvim are launched by Jenny to compose a twt.

Its quite nice. I have been half tempted to make a twtxt client with it

@bendwr and I discussing something along the lines of: I.e: How to deal with or reduce noise from legacy feeds.

@prologic@twtxt.net it actually does!

But I broke something trying to get rid of the random characters showing on my twts as mentioned here #k7tcqwq.
I taught it was as easy as swapping the ‘\u2028’ in jenny’s new_twt_from_file function but there’s a reason I’m not a developer (yet) 😅

It kinda got rid of them in a way but broke the new lines in the process. So I put things back the way the were till I figure out something else.

@prologic@twtxt.net well, I think OP mother tongue isn’t English, so certainly not an encoding I might be familiar with.

@shreyan@twtxt.net ever tried KeepassXC or Pass/Password Store ? They are worth giving a try … Then you can keep your KeepassXD database in synch across your devices with (NOT /R/s/y/n/c) I meant Syncthing or git in the case Pass (using a git repo in within your local network of course) 👍🏼(edited)

Wait a second! I did get the new line in my editor but the s dissapeared from the twtxt.txt file. let’s add in a new line just to make sure I did not break anything. 😂👍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thank you! and sorry, I’ve just noticed your twt. About the funky characters, it’s probably something off with my editor, I’ve just ssh-ed from mobile and checked my .txt file, it looked like that when I cat the file but normal on neoutt. I’ll try and see what’s the deal first thing in the morning. (/me wondering if the same thing would happen with this twt)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, normally I just use s browser to open PDF, but we had actually create one and it needed some special Acrobat features. Afterwards I immediately uninstalled it again.

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha! I’m still figuring my way around but Thank you!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, it seems like it. But I don’t mind using neomutt to go through my feed, it feel like a huge upgrade compared to the usual pager 😄

Thanks again @movq@www.uninformativ.de !! I have figured things out and set up Jenny and Vim completion following your blog post! Cheers!

I wonder if anyone got that as a replay 🥲 I tried and copied thread’s tag from twtxt.net

Oh! thank you @movq@www.uninformativ.de and @bender@twtxt.net ! I’ve noticed your replays by chance checking my logs 😊

@johanbove@johanbove.info Is there any reason to use this program? I can’t remember when I last had it installed, must have been early 2000’s.

Oh, nevermind… it did! I’ve just checked my twtxt.txt file. Now I have to figure out replays 🫤

I’m still figuring out interactions mechanics on Twtxt, for example the at symbol is sufficient to mention someone you follow I guess, like @twtxt@buckket.org when using the twtwt cli. is that implemented in the twtxt cli as well? it wouldn’t heart to try

Good! I guess I’m done setting up my Twtxt. I’ll be juggling between the official CLI and Twixter, although I already have a favorite.

At last! my Twtxt feed is up and running and I can post to it from a remote client! Yey!

@shreyan@twtxt.net first you must clearly explain what a monad is.
