@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me Done! 👌
@anth hehe, cool!
I’m changing mine to tw.txt -> https://eapl.me/tw.txt
And the older twtxt.txt will be redirecting for a while
@prologic@twtxt.net Maybe Becky mistyped, she’s a ninja and wanted to show off her naked sword. :-D
I hear you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! I have to wait five seconds after opening any Jira ticket before the JS garbage has eventually fetched all the other information and rebuilt the DOM. Only then I can actually begin to scroll down to the information I’m after. Every fucking time.
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club It looked like elisp at first glance… is it? 🤔
@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I sent that mention manually for a demonstration as mentioned in the previous twt. Used the curl method.
@prologic@twtxt.net What IRC client is that?
@eapl@eapl.mx I agree with you that the obviously-correct filename is tw.txt. That’s what mine’s always been.
@phoronix@feeds.twtxt.net oh gee the syntax of that thing 😆
@funbreaker@we.loveprivacy.club welcome!
Grab this one and enhance it, @prologic@twtxt.net?
@prologic@twtxt.net sure! I don’t know if this is what you need but, let me give it a try.
- I have Timeline installed, which has an endpoint to process #webmentions. Mine for example is
https://aelaraji.com/timeline/webmentionwhich you can find by queryinghttps://aelaraji.com/.well-known/webfinger.
- If you mention someone from #Timeline itself, it takes care of querying that and sending in the mention for you.
- Otherwise (what I personally do) you could just:
curl -i -d 'source=https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt#:~:text=2024-12-09T01:22:37Z' -d 'target=https://aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt' https://aelaraji.com/timeline/webmention
basically what @sorenpeter@darch.dk mentioned in his article Here.
Afterwards, the mentions are stored in their own mentions.txt feed. The one from the example above looks like this on my Timeline :

Feel free to spam my endpoint if you’d like to give things a try. 👍
[P.S: personally, I don’t seem to get the mentions if I add the Text fragment part to my target]
tt Go rewrite produces some colors. There is definitely a lot more tweaking necessary. But this is a first step in the right direction.
Thank you @bender@twtxt.net and @movq@www.uninformativ.de!
I partially fixed the code block rendering. With some terrible hacks, though. :-( I see that empty lines in code block still need some more work. There are also some other cases around line continuation where the result looks ugly. I have to refactor some parts to make this go more smoothly and do this properly. No way around that.

Turns out, my current message text parser does not even parse plain links. That’s next on the agenda.
Oh, I also noticed that this thing crashes when there is not enough space to actually draw stuff. No shortage of work. Anyway, time is up, good night. :-)
@bender@twtxt.net There’s a lot of unused space left on the house!
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Can you walk me through your testing process here and share example links etc? 🙏
@bender@twtxt.net I wonder where that dude who was hosting his twtxt feed in a google drive go? 😆 that was hilarious!!
@sorenpeter@darch.dk Noice!! just gave a try… and it’s looking way better! -not that the old format was bad, it’s just that this one is looking more readable- 
Did I write here already that the reason why I love Twtxt so much is that it works without having to compile, install anything extra. Just the bin applications that come with 95% of all operating systems and you’re good to read and participate, giving you have a domain name somewhere to host the twtxt.txt file.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk What are we testing?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha! I find it funny what brain autocorrects can come up with. :-)
“A minimalist social network powered by plain text files”
My brain keeps shortening this to “a socialist network …” and then jumps to “uhh, large parts of the US won’t like this” … 🤦🤪
@discoverbsdthebsdcommunitylinklog@feeds.twtxt.net This is interesting. Not giving up on #FreeBSD #jails yet but definitely have to give this a try; and if my #podman workflow goes as smooth as it does on #Linux I might just end up installing FreeBSD on the #RaspberryPi too! 🥳
[lang=en] Random idea: twtxt.txt files should be named tw.txt instead.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de The view in these is pretty gorgeous as well!! 👌
@prologic@twtxt.net Heck yeah, gorgeous! Did you hike up there?
@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!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org (Semicolon! 🤘)
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
# nick = skinshafi so... should I scream buuug ? 🤔
@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! 🤣
# nick = skinshafi so... should I scream buuug ? 🤔
@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 ;)
# nick = skinshafi so... should I scream buuug ? 🤔
@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 ;)
# nick = skinshafi so... should I scream buuug ? 🤔
@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 …
# nick = skinshafi so... should I scream buuug ? 🤔
@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 ? 🤔
