@movq@www.uninformativ.de is there a way to purge twtxts from a feed I no longer follow?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, using the branch on topic right now, it works perfect. The only thing I found was that I had to quit neomutt, and re-open, to see the perfect thread. Other than that, I love it!

@bender@twtxt.net hmm, I wonder if these are simply twtxts auto created from an ActivityPub feed. Ah, crap, they are. LOL.

Because I saw the nick on movq (@prologic@twtxt.net, can’t mention anyone outside this pod, by the way), I looked the user up: https://tilde.pt/~marado/twtxt.txt. I wonder if the “hashes” they are using will work out of the box with jenny.

Talking about jenny, going to play with the latest now. Tata! :-)

@support@anthony.buc.ci No. Try this again and I nuke your IP.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org @bender@twtxt.net I pushed an alternative implementation to the fetch-context branch. This integrates the whole thing into mutt/jenny.

You will want to configure a new mutt hotkey, similar to the “reply” hotkey:

macro index,pager <esc>C "\
<enter-command> set my_pipe_decode=\$pipe_decode nopipe_decode<Enter>\
<pipe-message> jenny -c<Enter>\
<enter-command> set pipe_decode=\$my_pipe_decode; unset my_pipe_decode<Enter>" \
"Try to fetch context of current twt, like a missing root twt"

This pipes the mail to jenny -c. jenny will try to find the thread hash and the URL and then fetch it. (If there’s no URL or if the specific twt cannot be found in that particular feed, it could query a Yarn pod. That is not yet implemented, though.)

The whole thing looks like this:

https://movq.de/v/0d0e76a180/jenny.mp4

In other words, when there’s a missing root twt, you press a hotkey to fetch it, done.

I think I like this version better. 🤔

(This needs a lot of testing. 😆)

missed my alarm. it was a late night and did not really want to get up. my chest was tight most of the run on top of the exhaustion, and the heat just zapped any motivation out of me. oh well, taper week.

You might have seen me popping up on IRC. This is how it looks:

https://movq.de/v/3a4f9833f3/

That’s EZirc from the 1990ies. (It says it needs Warp 4, but runs fine on Warp 3.)

Lots of this old stuff still works (technically), but as @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org said: A lot of it really is dead. There’s not much going on anymore in Usenet.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes, fetching the twt by hash from some service could be a good alternative, in case the twt I have does not @-mention the source. (Besides yarnd, maybe this should be part of the registry API? I don’t see fetch-by-hash in the registry API docs.)

@Yarns@search.twtxt.net An oopsie? 🥳😂

🥳 NEW FEED: @aelaraji@aelaraji.com

@bender@twtxt.net yeah, I think so as well. Hell I can’t even get myself to upload much media files on the fedi-platforms knowing they’ll be hosted out of someone else’s pocket, someone with no ROI in mind but other’s freedom of expression.

@bender@twtxt.net What multiplexer do you use? I usually use Tmux and have my prefix mapped to C-a on my local machine and the default C-b on the remote ones so they don’t conflict if it helps.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have no clue TBH

@prologic@twtxt.net I wouldn’t mind that for the bigger images, although, my main problem is with the scrappers and other platforms that nuke my RPi whenever I post a link out there… yes! I mean Mastodon 😆

BTW! I’ve just white listed twtxt.net … you should be able to see the embedded image by now.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh I see! Interesting 🧐 Would you prefer that clients like yarnd prefetch resources liks this, cache them and serve the cached copy? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net it’s a Clownflare option to prevent images on your website from being embedded on other websites. It helps with my low bandwidth resources. And I believe you can set-up similar rules with Nginx, I’m just too lazy to do it manually RN.

CF Docs on Hotlink Protection

@movq@www.uninformativ.de confirming that the issue isn’t present when using alacrity. Wow.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Alacritty.

@prologic@twtxt.net I think I have hotlinking disabled somewhere … I’ll try and fix it this evening.

you’ll probably get an Error 1011 🤦 … just copy and paste the link in a new tab if you can Screenshot of neomutt running Jenny

@bender@twtxt.net My index formatting is intact, probably because I still haven’t figured out how to set up my terminal to show RTL text correctly! 😅 but hey, that won’t be a problem anymore, I don’t feel like twting in Arabic. Sorry for the inconvenience.

nice run. kept it pretty chill albeit humidity was a bitch. before ending my first loop another runner cruised by me and i resisted the urge to join (not that i could have maintained the pace or anything).

oh dang. i think thats the go path not the github path.. missing the branch name. here is the pkg one: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/quic-go/quic-go/http3

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org the reason behind his sporadic disappearances is that he runs things from a Raspberry Pi, at home, I believe. That impacts reliability, I figure.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de my fault! Err, I meant to say, @bender@twtxt.net’s! LOL.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ah, if only you were to finally clean up that code, and make that client widely available…! One can only dream, right? :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I mean, dinosaurs “evolved” by getting wiped, right? :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you said you liked seeing the hash (which is a fair choice!). All I am asking is for a reconsideration as a user configurable feature. ;-) It looks redundant, in my opinion.

This has become quite a large thread. 😅

So, by “evolve” you actually mean “remove”, @prologic@twtxt.net? :-?

@bender@twtxt.net it sure breaks the index formatting.

@quark@ferengi.one this is what I see:

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com, this one, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, is slightly breaking my neomutt index. Will post screenshot from @bender@twtxt.net’s account.

Correct, @bender@twtxt.net. Since the very beginning, my twtxt flow is very flawed. But it turns out to be an advantage for this sort of problem. :-) I still use the official (but patched) twtxt client by buckket to actually fetch and fill the cache. I think one of of the patches played around with the error reporting. This way, any problems with fetching or parsing feeds show up immediately. Once I think, I’ve seen enough errors, I unsubscribe.

tt is just a viewer into the cache. The read statuses are stored in a separate database file.

It also happened a few times, that I thought some feed was permanently dead and removed it from my list. But then, others mentioned it, so I resubscribed.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de, that would be a nice addition. :-) I would also love the ability to hide/not show the hash when reading twtxts (after all, that’s on the header on each “email”). Could that be added as a user configurable toggle?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t know if I’d want to discard the twts. I think what I’m looking for is a command “jenny -g https://host.org/twtxt.txt” to fetch just that one feed, even if it’s not in my follow list. I could wrap that in a shell script so that when I see a twt in reply to a feed I don’t follow, I can just tap a key and the feed will get added to my maildir. I guess the script would look for a mention at the start of a selected twt and call jenny -g on the feed.

@al4xs@vaporhole.xyz, Esses debates de existência ou inexistência não chega a lugar algum. Ou você crê ou não crê.

@al4xs@vaporhole.xyz, Só podemos testar a existência de algo físico. Ao religioso, basta focar na fé, ao cético a ciência basta.

@al4xs@vaporhole.xyz, Não há como provar existência ou inexistência porque é metafísico e não físico.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org so, is it safe to assume you occasionally, but carefully, vet your feeds, and have contingencies in place to not keep requesting a seemingly dead feed over and over?

honestly kinda hype about this one https://reticulum.network/manual/gettingstartedfast.html#sideband I think some concepts from named-data networking (andana and statevector sync in particular) and secure scuttlebutt (plumbtree) could help make it more robust, but I like the overall direction and architecture a lot. the multi-hop transmission design in particular 💋

(@anth@a.9srv.net’s feed almost never works, but I keep it because they told me they want to fix their server some time.)
