@prologic@twtxt.net i have seen some posts on this! that’s definitely reassuring. i don’t know cloud stuff at all and don’t want to. servers forever….

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz UPDATE I DID IT!!!!!!! you will now see a cute anime girl that is behind the scenes testing if you are a bot or not in a matter of seconds before being redirected to the site :) https://superlove.sayitditto.net/

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz think i’ll wait and see if the caddy module proposal gets anywhere bc that sounds like it’d make my life easier lol

https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/16

@prologic@twtxt.net oh yeah it’s absolutely epic i love how fast it is. it would be extra peak if it sent a message to every bot that it denies access to that just says “get fucked” or something idk

@david@collantes.us You are right! I need to check this problem. Thank you very much!

Business trips / Off-Sites can be rather exhausting 😴

well, I assume by syntax you mean Gemtext (which I like a lot, my personal blog is built on top of it), so I think it might work for twtxt clients…

I knew of twtxt in Gemini Antenna, so at least the 2017 spec might work on that protocol. I think the main issue with extensions is that they weren’t designed with many URLs and protocols in mind.

Also I have to admit that the Gemini community significantly reduced in the last few years. I don’t know how worth it is to add support for Gemini now.

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, as you mentioned in the other thread, @andros@twtxt.andros.dev’s hashes appear to be not quite right. 🤔

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I guess we all whish we were jobless. Not moneyless, just jobless. 😅

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Can you reproduce any of this outside of your client? I can’t spot a mistake here:

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev your client is breaking things, I am afraid. This hash (ptxsca), which you seem to be using to reply to @movq@www.uninformativ.de is not the right one.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i could build that myself but also i can’t because i don’t know code!!!!!!!!! her ass only knows ruby on rails!!!!!!!!!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I have no doubt that you’re not seeing the images correctly 😀. It’s just that it’s broken when viewing them, in my case, and analyzing the URLs, I’ve seen everything I mentioned.
Regarding the hash, you’re right. I’ll have to investigate what’s going on. I’m having a hard time getting the hash generation to work properly.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ancient……. i love old linux it’s so janky

@movq@www.uninformativ.de me being the one jobless bitch on here is not helping my case LOL

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Hm, looks correct to me. The image to be displayed is a thumbnail and this links to the full-sized image. The thumbnail (JPG) is auto-generated from the full image (PNG), hence the two extensions.

What does look strange, though, is that your client came up with the hash pqsmcka, while it should have been te5quba. 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Can we add a table in twtxt.dev with features of each client?

• Is active?
  
• Extensions compatibility
  
• Language
  
• Multiaccount.
  
• Mutiuser
  And so on…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The urls of the images are strange! My client crashes to display them, and when I tried some urls, I found a redirect. Ah! And the images had two extensions.

@eapl.me@eapl.me I agree. The syntax is weird inside Gemini and twtxt is made with the http protocol in mind and Gemini doesn’t work with some extensions.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Asleep or at work, I guess. 😅

Timeline and twtxt-php, don’t support Gemini, only HTTP/S, as a design choice (although originally it was intended to work on Gemtext, it was a niche inside a niche, so it was discarded very soon).

At the moment of building the engine there weren’t many Gemini URLs supporting twtxt 1.1 (with twtxt.dev extensions).
Also User-Agent won’t work there, and many Gemini URLs are a mirror of the HTTP one, so I think is not strictly necessary.

my 2c

@prologic@twtxt.net NO

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i’m just winging it with fail2ban and robots.txt tbh it’s a miracle the poor server hasn’t fallen over yet from the scrapers lol. like i run this whole thing off a macbook i’m not even joking https://superlove.sayitditto.net/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org interesting! yeah i figured it was some parsing stuff going on

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz It’s there, but yarnd’s markdown library probably thinks that it’s some broken HTML and swallows it, not sure.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Yeah, nobody will ever find that setting.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de ]:-> Ah, just that one line scrolls horizontally, not the entire screen.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz nooo my little heart got dropped from the post

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev jenny can and, IIRC, Yarn also supports it. 🤔

What is twtxt for me? It is a community of users sharing plain text following a specification that can be readable by both humans and machines.

For some it is a microblogging platform, for others it is a social network, others see it as an enhanced RSS feed and a few consider it a hacker’s toy. I use it as a learning platform. And as collateral damage, I’m meeting some very interesting people.

And for you?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de nice!!! i wanna try snac it looks sooo fun

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh, yes, it’s probably going to be something like gotosocial or snac. It’s got to be as lightweight as possible. (I call this whole thing “Mastodon”, but you’re right, that’s not quite correct. 😅)

I have released new updates to the twtxt.el client.

• New feature: Notifications.
  
• Updated: Improved user interface for new posts.
  
• Updated: Documentation.
  
• Updated: Some UI elements and included information about shortcuts in each buffer.
  
• Minor fixes.
  Source code: https://codeberg.org/deadblackclover/twtxt-el
  In the next version: You will be able to send direct messages.
  Enjoy!
  #emacs #twtxt #twtxtel

@movq@www.uninformativ.de mastodon is probably the worst fedi software to self host tbh, you might wanna check out gotosocial? not to like pull you in another direction but idk masto is just suuuuper heavy lol

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Doing the devil’s work:

Better than nothing. 😅

@thecanine@twtxt.net It suits your site very well, but I find this font hard to read. In any case, keep on pixeling.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha! Yeah, I really don’t know if that’s the best translation.

@prologic@twtxt.net SUUUPER CATCHY it’s been stuck in my head all day

Bit of an update, there is now a general licence for all my stuff:

“Unless projects are accompanied by a different license, Creative Commons apply (“BY-NC-ND” for all art featuring the Canine mascot and “BY-NC” for everything else).”

It’s even included on my website, where most of the demand for a clear licence originated from:

In practice this changes nothing, as I was never enforcing anything more than this anyway and given permission for other use too. Now it’s just official that this is the baseline, of what can be done, without having to ask for permission first.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ha, “imps”, when I read imps, I think of these guys: https://dungeonkeeper.fandom.com/wiki/Imp 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net I created a script for your book. i have only done the first two chapters. have to do some adjustments to the text so it sounds ok and that takes time..

https://git.sour.is/xuu/piper

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :-D

In the meantime, I tried to add English subtitles, so the international audience has a chance of enjoying some of them, too. There are a bunch of puns, so translations don’t work at that great.

I went to an exhibition of my fine arts teacher who passed away last year. He was a pretty cool dude and good teacher. I reckon I had him in 7th and probably also 8th grade. His Schelme (imps) were very famous here in this county and presumably well beyond.

Unfortunately, picture frame glas doesn’t mix all that great with a fairly dark light and my camera. So, sorry in adavance for the poor quality. Anyway, I photographed a few funny paintings. Watch out, it may contain saucy contents: https://lyse.isobeef.org/siegfried-wagner-farrenstall-2025-03-15/.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz this is how i find out the videos are capped at a minute

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org „Kann … enthalten“? 🤣 Ein Schelm, dieser Schelm.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, nice! :-D I had to check the solution to get it. It’s a good one.
