@jost@jost.sdfeu.org Yeah, this AI crap is a big reason not to blog.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev The article is a good reminder of the true blogging mindset. But let’s try to think beyond. 2 ideas: (1) writing “forces clarity, structures your thoughts, sharpens your perspective”. But it also generates thoughts in the sense of Heinrich von Kleist (1805). (2) You’re writing for “the future you, one right person, one day” but you are also writing for the AI. The idea of AI as an audience.

Excellent article where you reflect on why it is important to write in your blog, even knowing that nobody will read it.

At least this article does.

I would like to share my lastest article about #twtxt on my blog: https://programadorwebvalencia.com/twtxt-la-red-social-en-texto-plano-descentralizada-y-minimalista/ . Attention! It is a Spanish

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes! then there was this fun breaker of an article but hey, I ain’t doing it for security 😆 so I’ll just keep on keeping on.

Moin @arne@uplegger.eu, herzlich willkommen! Ich bin gerade auf https://uplegger.eu/blog/popelfinger gestoßen und war sofort sehr begeistert. :-D Mal sehen, ob ich die anderen an einem der Feiertage davon überzeugt bekomme, das mal auszuprobieren. :-)

Das Spiel der 20 Felder: Die möglichen Regeln des 4.600 Jahre alten Spiels mit einem Entwurf für einen modernen Spielplan.

after thinking and researching about it, yep, I agree that WebFinger is a good idea.

For example reading here: https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial
I wasn’t considering some scenarios, like multiple accounts for a single domain (See ‘How can I set and manage multiple subdomain handles?’ in the link above)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mostly small and simple stuff, like cable management, headphone rests, pill dispensers (that I didn’t end up using), … The most elaborate thing I made was that contraption for my keyboard, which is a bit hard to explain right now, so here’s some photos:

I didn’t end up using that, either. 🥴

In general, I print very little. So little that some of my supplies have simply gone bad, like that “3D LAC” (sprayable glue).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah, I saw that when googling the issue. I’m on Linux, there are no DLLs to swap. I could use an older version indeed. 🤔 Let’s see if I can find some better alternative first. (Let’s face it, Blender is hard to use.)

although the only #Go things I’m running in there are a WriteFreely blog and the Saltyd #SaltyIM broker … each running in separate #FreeBSD #jail, those are still running the 14.1-Release (at the moment) anyways.

Behold … “Marginalia” ! My new favorite search engine!! And I have @mattof to thank for this find. Here’s their Blog post about it since I don’t think I could do a better job describing what it is. but, tl;dr: it’s a #smallweb focused search engine.

I’m angry, I see too many blog I followed removing their RSS/atom feed. Why???

@prologic@twtxt.net i think we talked about it before blogs were removed

Regarding the blog post itself, there’s nothing of any substance here except an acknowledgment of open network(s) being a good thing.

This is so neat.

https://emilyliu.me/blog/open-network

When yarn used to have blogs I thought something like this would be a great feature. Having the blog comments tied to a twtxt subject for the blog post.

@eapl.me@eapl.me here are my replies (somewhat similar to Lyse’s and James’)

1. Metadata in twts: Key=value is too complicated for non-hackers and hard to write by hand. So if there is a need then we should just use #NSFS or the alt-text file in markdown image syntax ![NSFW](url.to/image.jpg) if something is NSFW

2. IDs besides datetime. When you edit a twt then you should preserve the datetime if location-based addressing should have any advantages over content-based addressing. If you change the timestamp the its a new post. Just like any other blog cms.

3. Caching, Yes all good ideas, but that is more a task for the clients not the serving of the twtxt.txt files.

4. Discovery: User-agent for discovery can become better. I’m working on a wrapper script in PHP, so you don’t need to go to Apaches log-files to see who fetches your feed. But for other Gemini and gopher you need to relay on something else. That could be using my webmentions for twtxt suggestion, or simply defining an email metadata field for letting a person know you follow their feed. Interesting read about why WebMetions might be a bad idea. Twtxt being much simple that a full featured IndieWeb sites, then a lot of the concerns does not apply here. But that’s the issue with any open inbox. This is hard to solve without some form of (centralized or community) spam moderation.

5. Support more protocols besides http/s. Yes why not, if we can make clients that merge or diffident between the same feed server by multiples URLs

6. Languages: If the need is big then make a separate feed. I don’t mind seeing stuff in other langues as it is low. You got translating tool if you need to know whats going on. And again when there is a need for easier switching between posting to several feeds, then it’s about building clients with a UI that makes it easy. No something that should takes up space in the format/protocol.

7. Emojis: I’m not sure what this is about. Do you want to use emojis as avatar in CLI clients or it just about rendering emojis?

Huh. I had long forgotten about text fragment URLs. Seems relevant for linking to discussions around linking to individual twtxt posts. https://alfy.blog/2024/10/19/linking-directly-to-web-page-content.html

@3r1c@3r1c.net I think I’m gonna like that blog. 😅 https://unixdigest.com/articles/is-the-madness-ever-going-to-end.html

@3r1c@3r1c.net Woa! I love this blog’s format! _ it’s just perfect for reading from terminal…

No, json is overhead. I love twtxt for simplicity where blog is just text file and not several json files where fields are repeated…

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks. It’s from a non-Euclidean geometry project: https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2022/01/17/s3d/

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes I suppose that is true. There is an article on Tailscale’s site that explains it all quite a bit: https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works

To me, with CGNAT, it’s a small miracle that a direct connection can be made between peers (as opposed to going through a relay constantly) but it does indeed work. I guess to host it at home you would need to have it WAN accessible, and if you’ve already gone to the trouble of port forwarding etc… well 😅
Not that I could personally do that, but for those with static IPs etc.

Tiens, je découvre ça dans les référents de mon site. Manque plus qu’un flux RSS et je pourrais m’abonner. Pensez à ajouter un flux ATOM/RSS pour vos blogs les gens :). Merci ! https://matograine.fr/

I don’t remember who was looking for a way to block A.I bots/scrappers. But here’s an article by Cloudflare “Declare your AIndependence: block AI bots, scrapers and crawlers with a single click” offering a way to do so even for the ones spoofing their User-Agent and such.

Hey @movq@www.uninformativ.de !! here’s an article you might find interesting: Blocking Bots with Nginx … this person is actually blocking AI Bots based on a list of User Agents in an interesting way. 👍

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…
