@lucidiot, thanks for the bug report. Does anybody have an idea for https://github.com/mdom/txtnish/issues/12?

I just pushed a fix for https://github.com/mdom/txtnish/issues/11. It seems to work but i have currently no test suite for txtnish, so please don't hesitate to inform me if anything weird happens with mentions.

And to be honest, http 1.1 is (mostly) fine, it's the stuff that is usually transmitted with it that worries me :)

New feature for txtnish: After setting add_metadata to 1, txtnish will, uhm, add metadata to your twtfile. Currently i only add followings, client and your gpg fingerprint. See my file for an example.

@tx After choosing the last turn in gopher://tx.god.jp/1/numpop/, the script never returns?

@freemor You wouldn't even need to add the recipient in the tweet, clients could just try to decrypt anything.

@freemor I once had a fun day hunting down the phone number for a scraper. Really nice guy, just some script running havoc.

@trqx write a fun numpop clone https://tx.god.jp/code/cnumpop/files.html. I got 590 points with the seed 1493407649, can anyone beat that? :)

Can anybody improve this #numpop bot? https://gist.github.com/mdom/0d1c0c87403d98700c7d4bed08c41a38

Remember to add "AddDefaultCharset utf-8" for your twtxt file if you're using apache. Otherwise browsers will serve cp1252. The twtxt clients won't care but maybe someone is watching your file with a browser?

I'm listening at http://taz.de/xkcd1810 if anybody want to try it. Just send your url to that address. :)

@freemor (re: bandwidth) We tackle that problem when it arises. I'm currently following 60 (mostly dormant) users with 500k for all files with an update taking less than 2s.

@dave Nice! http://davebucklin.com/play/2017/03/05/setting-up-twtxt.html

@freemor Actually i forgot to push. Should be online now.

@kas bullseye just calculates sum(|140-length| for all tweets) / number of tweets

@8ball will answer any question you ask him if the tweet ends with a question mark and only mentions the bot itself. It checks every 10 minutes.

@freemor Something cut of your link? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/25/australian-childrens-author-mem-fox-detained-by-us-border-control-i-sobbed-like-a-baby

@freemor https://www.earth.li/~noodles/blog/2017/03/github-tos-change.html

I was the guy from https://xkcd.com/1806/ once, but working in an office where you have to switch workstations a lot will teach you.

Not that i ever had this problem... https://nolanlawson.com/2017/03/05/what-it-feels-like-to-be-an-open-source-maintainer/

@dave It's probably https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195792, should be fixed for #txtnish

@kas Yeah, i know, it's crazy, especially wp http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7996919/should-url-be-case-sensitive/17113291#17113291, let's just use only lowercased urls!

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/24/business/andy-weirs-best-seller-the-martian-gets-a-classroom-friendly-makeover.html

@kas The path starts with /Hund. Collapsing mentions is harder than i thought. #txtnish does now lowercase the hostname to handle 0x1A4.1337.cx vs 0x1a4.1337.cx in mentions.

@tx Thanks!

@tx I think there's just a charset=utf-8 missing to see it correctly in the browser. It's fine in a terminal.

@durcheinandr, @freemor Okay, following one self seems not so obvious as i thought. With commit 4b9b067 #txtnish displays the local twtfile.

@freemor Thanks for the reference! How do you create your timeline? Would it help if you had access to the unformatted timeline? Before formatting it's nick "t" url "t" props "t" unixtime "t" msg

@trevor, @tx Sorry, too many new users! :) @tx suggested printing the messages to stdout.

txtnish should handle 301 and rewrite urls accordingly, then i can just redirect to my canonical url. #somuchtodo

@freemor Something like post_tweet_hook () { cp "$twtfile" /var/www/twtxt.txt; }

@freemor Let me know if you have any good idea how to solve that. You probably need two files: your plain twtfile and a signed one in your docroot.

@freemor Still me althoug i know about ctrl-r... :)

@tx A lot of tiny things today?! :)

#txtnish is still on the start page of hn! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13742949

Welcome to the party, @tx!

Weird, the same repice serves 8 to 10 ppl in the book. I can't believe we eat the whole pot alone... :) Happy you liked it!

@freemor You have a weird little "unknown" at the bottom of your webpage?

Useless, but neat! http://ahogrammer.com/2016/11/15/deep-learning-enables-you-to-hide-screen-when-your-boss-is-approaching/

@clementd @n1ko Maybe you could file a bug report on github? With your python version and the installed modules.

#txtnix would only unfollow urls with 410. Now you can set the variable unfollow_codes to list additional codes like 404 and 403.

So, what are we planning to do on twtxt first #birthday? https://github.com/buckket/twtxt/commit/d5c9e1da0b

@kas Nope, creepy here too. Dont know what asmr is? http://www.slate.com/articles/life/culturebox/2013/02/asmr_videos_autonomous_sensory_meridian_response_and_whispering_videos_on.html

@freemor Interesting post about sharing. What're thoughts about closed sharing community where you have to contribute to get something?

@freemor Okay, i admin, i have no idea what a TZAG is? And thanks for the great link about CloudFlare! MITM on 5% of the web...

@buckket Do you want to close all issues tagged enhancement and milestone 1.3 before you do another release?

Fun with data! The complete roster twtxt database can be downloaded at https://roster.twtxt.org/twtxt_20160405.sql.gz

I'm currenty fetching approx. 40MiB per day on roster.twtxt.org by requestion every ressource every 10 minutes.

This would be a good use case for metadata. @kas could ask clients to refetch less, eg with /refetch 10m

@krt You can use more than 140 characters. It seems twtxt does not limit the number of characters to 140. Neither does txtnix. Twet?

Until there's documentation: You need at least a empty section header like [LinkBack] to activate it. I'll probaby require active = 1 later

We just started to watch The West Wing a week ago. No idea how I could have overlooked it for 17 years, it's so good!

Just found time to read through http://dankaminsky.com/2016/02/20/skeleton/. Maybe the best thing i read about CVE-2015-7547 yet. Does anybody has more to read about it?

Stop caring about how -e works: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2016/02/29/msg009700.html

Uh, i misconfigured my service and my twturl was redirected with a 301 instead of 307. Thanks for pointing that out @quite.

@kas It's xargs -n1 txtnix tweet on steroids!

Always wanted to do something special with 301!

https://github.com/mdom/twtxtpl/commit/cc8b checks if the twtfile was fetched by following a 301 and rewrites the url in your configuration file

Parsing iso8601 is way to hard, maybe http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339 would be a better choice?
