@movq@www.uninformativ.de Uuuh, nice! Despite the weather service claiming that it is snowing at this very moment, there is absolutely nothing here.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de tried translating that and it said Art lover/enthusiast, that could be correct since that despise of the artificial stems out of “Love for the Actual real Art” although that’s a subjective statement in itself; xD duckduckgo’s translation thing spat out “künstliche-Kunsthasser”

/me wantis to learn german so bad!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ; \m/

But then, why just block IPv4 and not also IPv6?

I’ll take “what’s the most overlooked thing in corporate networks” for 200. 😅

Thank you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! Luckily, I can disable it. I also tried it, no luck, though. But the problem is, I don’t really know how much snakeoil actually runs on my machine. There is definitely a ClownStrike infestation, I stopped the falcon sensor. But there might be even more, I’ve no idea. From the vague answers I got last time, it feels like even the UHD/IT guys don’t know what is in use. O_o

Yeah, it is definitely something on my laptop that rejects connections to IPv4 ports 80 and 443. All other devices here can access the stuff without issue, only this work machine is unable to. The “Connection refused” happens within a few milliseconds.

Unfortunately, I do not have the slightest idea how it works. But maybe I can look into that tomorrow. Kernel modules are a very good hint, thank you! <3

You’re right, it might be some sort of fail-safe mechanism. But then, why just block IPv4 and not also IPv6? But maybe because the VPN and company servers require IPv4, there is zero IPv6 support. (Yeah, don’t ask, I don’t understand it either.)

@skinshafi@thunix.net Ah nice, it indeed fixed it. I don’t get the warning anymore. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congrats! :-) I still have to survive work next week.

@david@collantes.us my replay stayed pinned to the bottom of neomutt like an eye soar, I had to delete the OP. xD I still don’t know how to archive stuff in (neo)mutt.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com as you can see, not much. Things continue to work fine (my fake one is cached on Neomutt). :-)

@bender@twtxt.net there’s Pub too but is still experimental I think …

Warning: pub is still in development, if it breaks, you can keep the pieces.

@skinshafi@thunix.net You might want to consider adding basic caching support:

… returned 200 but no Last-Modified header - can’t cache content

@prologic@twtxt.net You know what! let me get back to you on that–I’ve never never tried to do CGI scripting before and have zero knowledge about it.

/Me adding a new entry in a #Todo list.

@mckinley@twtxt.net To help saving the planet is a good reason. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Brilliant! How can I join?

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Hah! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve seen plenty but I doubt you could use any (other than PHP) to actually serve your pages, anything you want to serve, you put in a ~/public_xyz folder (your php files go there too for Apache to serve), no config files/server setting.

But don’t take my word for it, I just got there and still yet to meet people and learn a bit of IT wizardry from them ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net Twtxt wise, it was kind of disparate at first xD with no access to logs as you may have read on the alt-feed itself. But then, @sorenpeter@darch.dk’s script came to the rescue … like, just in time 😁 Otherwise, everything else is fun as publicised, exploring and learning along the way.

@prologic@twtxt.net There’s always my log.html page if it helps… and while we’re still at it here’s the other twt #z2ymlkq for reference ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah! If you remember I was curious about how people managed their stuff hosted on a Pubnix (this thread -> #z2ymlkq ) and I’ve just managed to join one …

@skinshafi@thunix.net That’s me by the way! just in case you’ve missed this one … (#44kqz4q) 😅

Hi @prologic@twtxt.net Hi @bender@twtxt.net 😁 now, Why is my @ mention is all over the place? xD this feed has a # nick = skinshafi so… should I scream buuug ? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de if it’s just notifications that are bothering you could just go to your /settings/preferences/notifications and uncheck as much boxes as you need … unless you’ve already done that, then… sorry, not sorry we love your posts my friend!! xD And just so you know, you put a smile on my face whenever I stumble upon any of your retro-computing posts! 😁

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I freaking love this one!! It feels squeaky clean! Definitely using it for my sm0lweb stuff. Thank you for sharing 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net Well, so far, I’m using the standard web client. Haven’t found a great client yet. 🫤 Mastodon/Fediverse is also very different from twtxt, there are way more images/videos that I’d like to see – a TUI client like toot wouldn’t work for me.

Dunno, maybe I’ll make some changes in this area after christmas. Try self-hosting again or something like that …

@bender@twtxt.net That’s the plan! 3;)

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Nothing to see, move on. Totally safe, no danger to the public. Yikes!

@prologic@twtxt.net I bet our twts are already being fed to circuit monsters… Remember the other day when I’d snapped out about some nonsense, being an A-Hole and what not? I’ve seen an AI company employee lurking around with not much interaction (if I’m not mistaken), so my mind went on auto-pilot mode thinking “This !#@%$ must be feeding us to the circuit peggy monster!! Arrr 😤” 🤣🤣🤣 but then again, one shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover (or an employee by his title) right?

@prologic@twtxt.net How so? I read the article but didn’t get who’s embracing and extending what to extinguish it…

[Update!] My request to join in has finally gotten accepted over on thunix.net like, two days ago! And now, my alter ego @skinshafi@thunix.net can have a Twtxt feed of its own x)

Beautiful shot @movq@www.uninformativ.de 🤩 … I’ve always had a hard time taking pictures in a foggy atmosphere, it never looks as dense as it does IRL. Any tips? 🥹

Yes it work: 2024-12-01T19:38:35Z twtxt/1.2.3 (+https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt; @eapl) :D

The .log is just a simple append each request. The idea with the .cvs is to have it tally up how many request there have been from each client as a way to avoid having the log file grow too big. And that you can open the .cvs as a spreadsheet and have an easy overview and filtering options.

Access to those files are closed to the public.

did it work? I tried loading the file from /twtxt.txt, /twtAgent.php and /twtAgent2.php

Also reading the code, I see it creates two files, but I’m not sure which you are using now:
http://darch.dk/twtAgent.log <- 403 Forbidden
and
http://darch.dk/twtAgent.csv <- Not found here

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh man, this is beautiful! We had sunshine all day long. But it was cold, too. When I left the house in the late afternoon, the sun was creating this magical red light. I just hit the right time, all the autumn colors popped out like crazy when I walked down the street. Didn’t bring my camera, though.

I sent a few local tests, could you help me check if you see https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt in your log file?

If you want more eyes on the agent, you can tell tell me, as I was thinking on something similar to catch those ‘following requests’.

@eapl.mx@eapl.mx Yes, the idea is to add User Agent support to #Timeline.
Right now it just adds every request to a growing log file, but I have also been working on a way to analyse it, so it only saves the time of the latest request.
I’m not sure how to make it part of timeline itself, since it requeses that you redirect/rewrite from twtAgent.php to the acctual twtxt.txt
Help with making Timeline send proper User Agents to others would be much appreciated:)

Have fun, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! :-) But I’m out.

@xuu@txt.sour.is That’s cool, I read chapter one and will continue.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Ah, so you inspired people with something absolutely new to them. That’s cool. :-)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk hey!
I’m watching that now your .txt is pointing to https://darch.dk/twtAgent.php

What are you trying? Catching the Headers as in https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/discoverability.html ? (I think it’s a clever idea BTW)
And is it something you plan to add to timeline?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org One person had came access it before, but no tried it

@prologic@twtxt.net Just that people thought twtxt sounded cool and maybe want to set it up themself

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Cool! Just curious, did you run into somebody who already heard of twtxt before? Or maybe even tried it.

@eapl.mx@eapl.mx Super to see you got webmentions working too :)

EDIT: A webmention was send to: https://eapl.mx/timeline/webmention (Status: 202)

@johanbove@johanbove.info Thanks, I’m glad you like it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de There was no time for discussion just after the presentation, but I had a chat with some folks later.

@prologic@twtxt.net My pleasure! glad I could help.

@prologic@twtxt.net Never seen macOS but I believe that’s a yes, just like in the second screenshot. That’s my whole screen zoomed on the cursor’s position and it keeps following.

@prologic@twtxt.net had to get Compiz from the edge/testing repo, but I believe that you can do without it. Xfce’s default Alt+Scroll thing works out of the box.
