@prologic@twtxt.net Is it possible to make Pull Request on twtxt.dev ?

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s opensource. You can run the software in your localhost or server. Cloud service is a free option.

Of course @prologic@twtxt.net! Check https://streamlit.io/

@doesnmppsflt@doesnm.p.psf.lt It looks like it… Although they shouldn’t be empty since Timeline took care of sending those. I believe I have an idea as to why that happened, but will have to test before filing an issue.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org HAHA! A forever stable major release eh? That’s brilliant 😃 …

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt I don’t know if you have already noticed, but your Twtxt/Webmention script outputs Timestamps from the future 🤔 I wonder if Timeline’s does the same …

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Testing Testing… 123… Ouiiiiiii… 😆

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Are you also using https://cabal.chat or just someone else with the same random username?

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Yes it works, thx: https://doesnm.cc/mentions.txt . I’m deleted html tags because my client do not support html rendering

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Cool lets see if this works?!

@prologic@twtxt.net I say we should find a way to support mentions with only url, no nick, as per the original spec.

• For @<nick url> we already got support
  
• For @<nick> the posting client should expand it to @<nick url>, if not then the reading client should just render it as @nick with no link.
  
• For @<url> the sending client should try to expand it to @<nick url>, if not then the reading client should try to find or construct a nick base on:
  
  1. Look in twtxt.txt for a nick =
     
  2. Use (sub)domain from URL
     
  3. Use folder or file name from URL

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Reminds me a bit of TeX which approaches pi by adding a digit with each bug fix in its version number. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX#TeX82

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, you won’t be disappointed. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net This is fricking amazing, congratulations! :-) \o/

@prologic@twtxt.net fuck yeah!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net <333 ty

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com i might give it a try soon!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ahhh thank you so so much!!!! i’ve heard of shellcheck but haven’t checked it out properly - will try it for my scripts :D i really appreciate it

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmm yeah, you’re right. I should have checked for our location prior to getting too excited.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah, a sore neck is always a win. :-P Here’s nothing really to see, all cloudy. And also a bit cold at -2°C. I don’t feel like standing still all that long outside at the moment. :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org /Me throws his keyboard off to the side, grabs his camera just in case and runs upstairs screaming “Yeah! Science B_ !”

Your code apparently works just fine. Until it @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt’t. ;-) The shell languages are weird and having some strange properties that one is just not used to when coming from other languages.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I love how this is coming together! :-)

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz To improve you shell programming skills, I highly recommend to check out shellcheck: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck It points out common errors and gives some suggestions on how to improve the code. Some details in shell scripting are very tricky to get right at first. Even after decades of shell programming, I run into “corner cases” every now and then.

E.g. in getlyr’s line 7 it warns:

echo -e $(gum style --italic --foreground "#f4b8e4" "'$artist', '$song'")
        ^-- SC2046: Quote this to prevent word splitting.

For more information:
  https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2046 -- Quote this to prevent word splitt...

Most likely not all that problematic in this application, but it’s good to know about this underlying concept. Word splitting is basically splitting tokens on whitespace, this can lead to interesting consequences as illustrated by this little code:

$ echo $(echo "Hello   World")
Hello World

$ echo "$(echo "Hello   World")" 
Hello   World

In the first case the shells sees two whitespace-separated tokens or arguments for the echo command. This basically becomes echo Hello World. So, echo joins them by a single space. In the second one it sees one argument for the echo command, so echo simply echos this single argument that contains three spaces.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh yeah, that’s terrible, yuck! Let’s not do it then. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net As written in IRC, several things turned me off. I don’t have the energy at the moment to wrestle through. :-(

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt

I’m sharing new developments on the client. I now have a more stable timeline. The first version will appear in the next few weeks.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That sounds interesting, good luck!

Need to summary all of these logic. So:\u2028 1. If file named twtxt.txt then grab parent directory name or hostname if file in root (and maybe delete ~?) \u2028 2. If file named nick.txt then grab filename

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz definitely a fun way to get better at bash scripting by hand (AKA learn how it works besides the extreme basics i know) and use gum to make them cute too

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz both scripts are here under the names ‘getlyr’ and ‘now playing’ if you wanna try them out yourself, just make sure you have gum installed (also curl and jq but most people have those i think) https://git.sr.ht/~chasinglightning/dotfiles/tree/main/item/home/.local/bin

@prologic@twtxt.net ah that’s good lol! i once pulled from main for a huge web app that i deployed and it haunts me because it will make upgrading so much harder lol

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt the logic that keeps on growing! :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net Where do I find those at? I have the 2024 year back but it may be nice for the others!

Ugh! Not @david@collantes.us, but this one. I am going nuts. Well, I am nuts!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think it was user error. Testing again.

If feed are named twtxt or tw then grab parent directory name!

@bender@twtxt.net (secret received!).

I mean, since most feeds are named twtxt.txt, following your recommendation, there could be many “twtxt” nicks. 😀

nick is yo? Btw say me which method you choiced. I want to make mention fixer like @bender -> @bender@twtxt.net in my post-hook

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I see problems with that, that do not exist on my approach. You could see, example.com/x/bananas/yo.txt, and the feed has no nick. What is the nick?

@prologic@twtxt.net so i did a mistake that i’ve done before and i think i just pulled from the main branch which is STUPID i KNOW and i don’t LEARN but whatever. i was having trouble with my go version and the makefile so i think i literally just ran it as my user with go in the path and redirected the binaries to go to a temporary directory i made and then moved them to /usr/bin lol. i’m not sure what could’ve caused this! probably something in the pipeline of weirdness i just wrote out

@prologic@twtxt.net thank you so much!

@prologic@twtxt.net LMAO thats so funny i need to try jenny i was trying it but i couldn’t figure out my twtxt sync script for it

@prologic@twtxt.net wait thats so cute re: the yarn name! i had no idea! we’re all just keeping the yarn ball rolling…

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz love this for you

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz trueee! good point

Let’s return to previous conversation: what if detect nick from url: pubnix.com/~nick/twtxt.txt is nick, domain.com/anick.txt is anick and etc

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I mean, you could do the mjd approach & record your monitor while sitting a few feet away, with a Bluetooth mouse & keeb, watching your inputs from the view finder
