I would like to share my lastest article about #twtxt on my blog: https://programadorwebvalencia.com/twtxt-la-red-social-en-texto-plano-descentralizada-y-minimalista/ . Attention! It is a Spanish
@prologic@twtxt.net Yes! then there was this fun breaker of an article but hey, I ain’t doing it for security 😆 so I’ll just keep on keeping on.
@prologic@twtxt.net I’m scratching my head already trying to figure this one out 🤣 not sure if just mirroring ldd’s output into my image’s content would do, -I’ve Just found about that one by the way.- but I’ll never know until I try.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yes building OCI images with no userland to speak of is great isn’t it 🤣
@bender@twtxt.net Dud! you should see the updated version! 😂 I have just discovered the scratch #container image and decided I wanted to play with it… I’m probably going to end up rebuilding a LOT of images.

My 400th Twtxt Post will be about you: wishing you, reader of my Twtxt feed, all the best for the coming year and most of all love, health, and that your projects and work may contribute to the greater good of all mankind. I will be taking a social-media break for a couple of weeks to enjoy this special time with my family. I hope you will be able to do this with your family and friends too.
Ich habe mir einen twtxt-Log-Parser geschrieben, der mich per Mail informiert, wenn jemand “neues” auf meinen Feed zugreift. Mal gucken, wie es läuft.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Looks fun. Also kind of looks like APL and Forth had a baby on Jupyter.
@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Hello!
@kh1b@kh1b.org Welcome to twtxt!
@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, nice! :-D This is the real one today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-12-20/01.jpg It was a bit more intense some minutes ago, though.
Moin @arne@uplegger.eu, herzlich willkommen! Ich bin gerade auf https://uplegger.eu/blog/popelfinger gestoßen und war sofort sehr begeistert. :-D Mal sehen, ob ich die anderen an einem der Feiertage davon überzeugt bekomme, das mal auszuprobieren. :-)
Glad you like them, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com. Anytime!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Beautiful shots as usual! thank you for sharing these with us. 🤘
I’ve started a draft over at: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/src/branch/main/exts/webfinger.md
@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net No for f*#$’s sake stop pushing this hype
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! Yep, 14 is a house martin tower: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwalbenhaus There are a few around here, although most of these nesting boxes are actually not on dedicated towers, but attached at the roof overhangs of private houses.
@prologic@twtxt.net maybe you meant to specify twtxt as a type similar to ActivityPub’s application/activity+json in https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=sorenpeter@norrebro.space
{
"rel": "self",
"type": "application/activity+json",
"href": "https://norrebro.space/users/sorenpeter"
},
Then it would also make sense to define a Link Relations but should that then link to something like https://twtxt.dev/webfinger.html where we can describe the spec?
@prologic@twtxt.net Well I just mirrored yarnd’s JSON in my webfinger endpoint and lookup, so not much else to do for standardization.
And for people who don’t like PHP you can always just go with Added WebFinger support to my email address using one rewrite rule and one static file. or simply putting a static JSON in place for .well-know/webfinger
@movq@www.uninformativ.de omg its like haskell but with more monads.
@mckinley@twtxt.net No, no, it’s not dead, it’s resting! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218

Hi Twtxt
@prologic@twtxt.net optional features don’t gain adoption from non-technical users. This needs to be built in.
@eapl.me@eapl.me why not https://domain.com/.well-known/twtxt/:domain/:user ?
the business card test is this can you write it on your business card and have someone you give it to be able to figure it out without added context?
- phone number: yes because everyone knows what a phone number is.
- email address: yes, everyone knows an email and their aol or prodigy will let them email.
- twitter/x/insta/pintrest handle: no, whats a twitter? do i need to sign up?
- domain name: yes its simple and you just type it in a browser right?
- twtxt url: kinda? its a bit long and is that a forward slash? or a backward slash?
@xuu@txt.sour.is is there anything stopping in clients from supporting this as an optional feature?
since twtxt is based on text files, I think you can consider @domain.tld as an alias of http://domain.com/twtxt.txt (or https://domain.com/tw.txt, among other combinations in the wild).
Or perhaps you can use DNS TXT records?
Although I think that’s a bit more complicated for some environments and users, I’d go with looking for a default /tw*.txt
One benefit with bluesky is your username is also a website. And not a clunky URL with slashes and such. I wish twtxt adopted that. I have advocated for webfinger to for twtxt to let us do something like it with usernames. Nostr has something like it
By default the bsky.social urls all redirect to their feeds like: hmpxvt.bsky.social
Many custom urls will redirect to some kind of linktree or just their feed cwebonline.com or la.bonne.petite.sour.is or if you are a major outlet just to your web presence like https://theonion.com or https://netflix.com
Its just good SEO practice
Do all nostr addresses take you to the person if typed into a browser? That is the secret sauce.
No having to go to some random page first. no accounts. no apps to install. just direct to the person.
Anyone started seeing this from Slashdot? 🤔

Ta, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, yummy. It’s one of the very few good christmas songs in my opinion.
@prologic@twtxt.net how does one signs up? I am sure you haven’t advertised the service yet, right?
Tab and expected it to auto-complete. 🤦
Brilliant, @movq@www.uninformativ.de, I didn’t think of the keystore! :-D
Me too, @aelaraji@aelaraji.com, I don’t know how many entire books I had to rewrite because of Ctrl+W irreversibly deleting the entire chapter.
Tab and expected it to auto-complete. 🤦
@movq@www.uninformativ.de HAHA! speaking of reflexes, Ctrl+SHIFT+v to paste and Ctrl+a to get to the start of the line, get me all the time when I’m using a browser … Ctrl+w (delete back a word) is the worst! tabs go Pouf! 🥲
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Where in firefox can I set custom CSS?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Interesting! I always use uBlock Origin to do that.
Tab and expected it to auto-complete. 🤦
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Did it work!? :-D
With these programmable keyboards today, one could easily make the keyboard type the entire password with one key stroke…
@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Not only the print quality, but the t-shirt itself was often an issue in the past I’ve found. To be fair, my experience is from a decade ago.
Trying to get some custom T-shirts made. Ordered my first one with
– Let’s see what eh quality of the print and T-shirt is before I make any more 😅
hey @iolfree@tilde.club ! it’s been a while, welcome back!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right, you showed this keyboard stand some time ago. I completely forgot about that.
@eapl.me@eapl.me @bender@twtxt.net @skinshafi@thunix.net The feed that nobody follows out of fear.
When I started programming in Delphi, I always included all the files (not only the *.exe, but also *.pas and what else there was) when giving friends my programs on floppy disks. I didn’t know that the executable was technically enough. :-)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de You won’t believe how happy I was when I turned off my work machine a few minutes ago. It feels absolutely amazing! :-D
haha, that’s gold xD.
#randomMemory I remember when I was starting to code, like 30 years ago, not understanding why my Basic file didn’t run when I renamed it to .exe
And nowadays, I’ve seen a few Go apps in a single executable, so twtxt.exe could be a thing, he!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de that’s not THAT old! it still can kick a$$ 👍
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com This is an Intel i7-3770 from 2013 with an integrated GPU (HD 4000).
Looks like FreeCAD works fine and I think this is a more appropriate program anyway. 😊
@bender@twtxt.net Hmmm… it makes sense. Now I curious, how old is his hardware though? is it SolveSpace kind of old? or reaaaally Blender 2.4 series kid of old!? 🤔
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com will all those run on his hardware? I don’t think @movq@www.uninformativ.de’s problem is the software, it is that his hardware has gotten too old. :-D
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I know, nobody asked 🤡 but, here are a couple of suggestions:
- If you’re willing to pay for a licence I’d highly recommend plasticity it’s under
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 3.
- Otherwise if you already have experience with CAD/Parametric modeling you could give freeCAD a spin, it’s under
GNU Library General Public License, version 2.0, it took them years but have just recently shipped their v1.0 👍
- or just roll with Autodesk’s Fusion for personal use, if you don’t mind their “Oh! You need to be online to use it” thing.
(Let’s face it, Blender is hard to use.)
I bet you’re talking about blender 2.79 and older! 😂 you are, right? JK
