I have been using Unix for 25+ years and I just learned about the status character in shells (often ^T). Huh.

I was reading dd(1), where it is mentioned in passing, obliquely. Then stty(1) has more info.
i’ve been meaning to read these notes, maybe putting the book on my ereader will be a better reminder than whatever i did last time 😅

I want read-only iOS client that just does the simplest model: pull a list of feeds, make a timeline.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes, I often read the raw messages. But more to the point, the simplicity of the format is the bulk of the appeal.

@xuu Btw... I noticed your pod has some changed I'm not familiar with, for example you seem to have added metadata to the top of feeds. Can you enumerate the improvements/changes you've made and possibly let's discuss contributing them back upstream? :D

@prologic@twtxt.net the meta info on the top I added manually. it’s following what I have seen from some other twtxt feeds. the new parser will read them.

I just built a poc search engine / crawler for Twtxt. I managed to crawl this pod (twtxt.net) and a couple of others (sorry @etux and @xuu I used your pods in the tests too!). So far so good. I might keep going with this and see what happens 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it reads a seed file. I’m using mine. it scans for any mention links and then scans them recursively. it reads from http/s or gopher. i don’t have much of a db yet.. it just writes to disk the feed and checks modified dates.. but I will add a db that has hashs/mentions/subjects and such.

Anyone here good with Go and feel like helping me build our a "Direct Messages" feature? I was going to pay someone on Upwork to do this, but I've received very few applicants (just one!) and they aren't that good (stock standard crappy Bootstrap experience and no evidence of any experience with Go).

i am guessing you are using some form of webmention to notify the target of the DM? which loads it into a store for the user to read?

I usually tell people to read The Goal by Eli Goldratt. It’s weird in a lot of ways, but it really helped me understand the roots of modern agile development process.
