I could possible check your version of fzf and start the ui wthout reload. But that seems a lot of work for an experimental subcommand where i'm stil not sure if i like it... :)
@prologic You can import twtxts config via txtnish quickstart. I hope that still works... ?!
txtnish has an experimantal userinterface based on fzf since yesterday. What do you think? A reply feature is still missing, but that shouldn't be that hard.
Except Mansion of Madness - I love the theme, but i just can't stand companion apps.
@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.
Basically it just compiles all chapters in the right order to html, rewrites the internal links and call lynx on the result
@mdosch Can you maybe summarize the problem our maybe even raise an issue for txtnish?
@kas re:hyphenation That article motivated me to add hyphenation to termpub. Though i'm using the greedy algorithm currently.
@adiabetic You can't argue with math. My math told me to eat a Balisto.
termpub features now start chapter detection, saved reading positions, following of internal and external links and a twice as fast renderer.
@robbinaer Yeah, cpanm also needs libncurses-dev to compile Curses.pm. I'll add that to the install instructions.
@robbinaer I still have so much work to do in the renderer ... but the next big goal is to jump to a chapter via the toc.
Don't expect too much, it's rather basic, but already enough to read at least non technical books.

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.
fmt removed my escape sequences on openbsd. txtnish now defaults to fold -s, which makes even more sense as it is specified by posix.

Just ordered a Hohner Special 20 Classic, can't wait until friday!
Maybe without a new command? txtnish follow mdom http://new_url.com would just work and add a alias? And unfollow http://new_url.com would remove it?

@leveck Why not just use a menu and link your posts, friends and comments? I like the idea to use fts for comments!
@nblade I take a look, it should work with every posix compliant awk, so at least oawk, nawk and gawk should run. What's the error message? Feel free to add an issue.
@nblade What client are you using? Your mentions are somehow broken?

#txtnish supports exporting your timeline to html with --theme html since last night. See https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/timeline.html for an example.
I'd imagine clients wouldn't implement gpg verification because it's too much hassle. Most clients probably won't even implement this... :/
There could be known archive urls and we could use mdns for local twtxt distribution. Just playing with the idea... :)
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?

On the other hand, most twtxt users won't have any problems putting a twtxt file somewhere with http. :)
@darthlukan Welcome to twtxt! We're currently back on a slow upward trajectory!
@kas Haha, every single rule of share the seeds is probably cannabis related without explicitly mentioning it.

@kas If i'm reading http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.5 correctly, the character ':' is explicitly allowed
@kas But you're right, just using the timestamp would be way more human friendly and the parsers already know how to handle rfc3339.

I recently tried to write a command like client to GNU social, but after reading the specs on ActivityStreams, Webfinger, PubsubHubbub and Salmon i soon lost interest... :)

One thing i really miss in posix shell is local. It's so easy to pollute your namespace. Current solution is to use more pipes and subshells.
@evil What should i expect to happen with the last update? Looks okay here... :)
#txtnish now reports about redirects or error codes on stderr.
@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!
@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.
@trevor Looks great, do you have the syntax file uploaded somewhere?
@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
Or maybe i just print a message to stderr as @trevor suggested.
How should #txtnish handle permanent redirects? Prompt the user to change url? But what if timeline is run in cron? A flag like -I for non-interactive? Mhh...
txtnish should handle 301 and rewrite urls accordingly, then i can just redirect to my canonical url. #somuchtodo
The doomsday algorithm is cool. Do you already have it memorized?
@kas But then we wouldn't be a decentralized network anymore. Or do i misunderstand the nature of keybase?
I would love to add metadata to the spec, but someone would have to hack it into twtxt #issue48 @buckket? :)
Welcome to twtxt, @trevor! Your timestamp looks like your're using txtnish? :)
Starting an Internet Service Provider http://chrishacken.com/starting-an-internet-service-provider/

And i'm back on reednj, totally forgot to update my .htaccess after the last url change. #twtxt
#txtnix now depends on Net::DNS::Native for nonblocking dns request, this should solve the annoying request timeouts. Yay!
@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.

New feature for #txtnix: tweet via email. This tweet was written on my phone!
@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...
You can find my twtxt feed at https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/mdom.txt Sorry for the trouble!
So, after weeks of neglecting my twtxt feed, i try to tweet more often. I think i was simply a little burnt out after roster and txtnix.
I wonder what the neighbours think ... tonight I blocked the windows with tin foil to darken our bedroom. #paranoid #summer
#roster uses a junction table for tags insteaf of like, so #graph does not match #graphite. Should have done that from the start.
@kdave When you get timeouts, do all feeds timeout? Can you check if you can reproduce it when you flush your name server cache?
Every time i'm thinking about putting more data in munin, i decide against it and just push the data with nc into #graphite. So easy.
@quite Haven't seen any asparagus yet, i think the harvest is late this year. But i'm looking forward to throw them in some curry! #yummy
@quite Yeah ... i was too lazy to buy chipotle and just put a good handful of pepper flakes in it. #yummy
@buckket Do you want to close all issues tagged enhancement and milestone 1.3 before you do another release?
/me has programmed for hours today only to learn that our problem is underspecified. gah!
Just added a search field for users and tweets at https://roster.twtxt.org And sorry for just tweeting about new features...
Fun with data! The complete roster twtxt database can be downloaded at https://roster.twtxt.org/twtxt_20160405.sql.gz
We probably should put that in the registry spec. I use /tweets/by/$twturl but /tweets?by=$twturl would probably be more correct.
@kas aura akua sound a lot like a sentence from toki pona.
@dracoblue https://roster.twtxt.org now supports https and cors headers. And @all: every tag links to a page with all tagged tweets.
Mike Duncan of "History of Rome" fame has another great podcast: http://www.revolutionspodcast.com/. I can really recommended it!
I'm currenty fetching approx. 40MiB per day on roster.twtxt.org by requestion every ressource every 10 minutes.
@david And i thought that was just a thing on the german wikipedia.
Or do you ask because you want to implement a client or server? I can probably write something up, it's a very minimal api.
@dracoblue Sorry, but what tweet are you referring to? I have no idea what sounds great... We need a way to reference tweets!
Anybody has http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7033 running for twtxt? And what to use for rel? https://twtxt.org/twtfile?
And as #roster is currently the only endpoint it's for now the default endpoint for watch.
Great, i wanted to have cold Club Mate and now i have a frozen block of it.
This would be a good use case for metadata. @kas could ask clients to refetch less, eg with /refetch 10m
@kas Good reminder, i really should add a url in my user-agent-string for roster.twtxt.org. Although it only fetches feeds every 600s.
@krt You can use more than 140 characters. It seems twtxt does not limit the number of characters to 140. Neither does txtnix. Twet?
http://roster.twtxt.org got a nicer layout, buttons and collapsed mentions tonight! #roster
It's running since last night, supports the twtxt registry api and crawls the feed for new urls. #roster
@soltempore Berlin is missing! How long is my day? Please tell me!
@kas We had a short power fluctuation yesterday. Funny to see which machines die and which survive.
@dracoblue But apache eg can just use mtime,inode or size for the etag. No default way to compute md5 without a filter.
@dracoblue The problem is that my ini parser does not remove quotes around values and twtxt's does. Another parser? Another format? sigh
I think we sometimes forget that even with all the advanced web technologies, you can still share your ideas with a simple text file.
@kas Great Idea! I wouldn't worry about the file size. Content-Encoding gzip should get you a very good compression rate.
Or we can use it to refback. Every time you mention somebody you send a HEAD with your twturl in the referer to her adddress. Any ideas?
@kdave I don't see anything at all. So either my font has an empty glyph for that codepoint or i'm stripping it. Will investigate.
My code worked in test, still worked in integration and failed in prod after 4 hours with no complains. Oh my.
@kas The moon or do you have another favourite glyph? And please with codepoint, my font doesn't handle all the fancy stuff you throw at it.
Come on coveralls.io! Show me my new badge! Nothing more depressing that working on your coverage and your new shiny badge won't update :)
@kas The only thing stopping me from implementing webmentions by myself is RFC 5988. Crazy stuff...
Slow day for #txtnix. Just some documentation for plugins and fighting to get the test coverage back up to 85%.
I could just fall back to twtxt's config if i can't find a config directory for txtnix...
And INI is a weird format for sharing config. Even in perl one library can't parse the result of the other. :/ Maybe TOML?
@kdave I had a race condition btw 2 txtnix processes. The obvious solution is to flock, but then config edit will flock for too long.
But what to do with following? Are you hand editing it? Would it be okay to move the section to the state file?
That's also an established term but language is a crowded space... :)
#txtnix now uses it's own configuration file ~/.config/txtnix/config after @david discovered some incompatibilities.
@dracoblue #txtnix does now expand /me to @mdom. I'm not sold on the syntax though, my brain is trying to find the referenced mention.
Find words for twt: perl -lane '$line=$_;s/[aeoui]//g;print $line if /twt/i' /usr/share/dict/words -- I like twitch... :)
Otherwise i have not much time to code, daugther and friends intervene... :)
@reednj Is twtxt-dir removing exclamation marks after mentions?
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 would have to write a new plugin for that. Which sounds fun... Do you have a have a receiver we can play with?
And GistStore will upload yout twtfile to gist when you provide it with your username and password or access token.
@kas is on fire. Great links, thanks! MovieSwap seems just crazy enough to succeed.
@mdom needs to move to copenhagen. I lived in Reformert Kirke for few weeks and loved Copenhagen!
But how do i generate my public key from my private? And shouldn't iI be worried that my private key can be seen with ps? Still confused.
@kas That's what i'm using. But shouldn't i be able to generate keys to communicate with other users? How could i encrypt a message for you?
Yeah! I'm also a frequent listener, @david, but i never have the time to listen to the live podcast for four hours...
Does anybody have a good idea for a default color set? I used the first color that crossed my mind, so the default theme is rather ugly.

And there's --new to just show the new tweets since the last time you called timeline.
Definitely worth a read: Myths about /dev/urandom http://www.2uo.de/myths-about-urandom/.
@kas Read them both and loved them! Though I don't know why Stephenson added that strange appendix to an otherwise great book.
@ColtonDRG digitalocean.com has FreeBSD servers for $0.007 the hour. And you can use the PromoCode DeveloperTea for $10 credit.
If you want to try #txtnix, now is the time with the new installation guide https://github.com/mdom/txtnix#installation
@kas I'm at the tenth episode know and it just gets better and better. And it's shockingly political acurate for television. #westwing
Bug bug bug bug bug / new build all should be fixed / bug bug bug bug bug
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!
@buckket I wonder if you can already see traffic coming in from the heise forums? :)
If connected to a pipe #txtnix tweet will now read tweets from STDIN. Will it now be too easy to spam the #twtxt network? :)
Oh my, we probably need to a way to add multiple twturls. People are now using three different urls for my twtfile.
Although i probably should add a second between each line so that sorting the tweets still works.
This could be a way to discover other twtxt users more easily. Clients could ignore such lines in the timeline if wanted.
I'm contemplating a announce_following option, disabled by default, to to anounce follow and unfollow commands in your twtfile.
Haha, haven’t heard that one: "#1 rule of distribute computing: Don’t distribute your computing!" https://m.signalvnoise.com/29166d022228
/me wonders in which world autocorrecting spelling errors during tab-completion is sane? https://github.com/mrzool/bash-sensible
We're planning to write one ourselves but i wanted to check the alternatives first.
Can anybody recommend a webbased ldap account manager other than lamcms that can run custom scripts?
You can even just call txtnit register to register at your friendly neighborhood's registry.
#txtnix now has support for all registry endpoints, you can query tags, tweets, mentions and users.
@reednj Would you mind adding this functionality to your registry?
If you're registered with reednj, would you mind being automatically added the a registry? Is reednj just the registry that won? :)
Already registered with <curl -X POST https://registry.twtxt.org/api/plain/users?url=https://example.org/twtxt.txt&nickname=example>?
Actually i would prefer if all endpoints could return seperate url and nick fields.
Does anybody have an opinion about https://github.com/DracoBlue/twtxt-registry/issues/4?
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?
Thanks @kas for the final nudge to change my bash history settings. Still on the fence about PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a" though.
@kdave Not that i endorse anything like that, but one could always just <curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo http://github.com/mdom/txtnix.git>.
@kdave There's an almost dependency-free version at https://mdom.github.io/txtnix.
Wow, a third of all ssl certificates on twtxt are from Let's Encrypt. Incredible.
@josch You can use update-alternative as normal user by supplying --admindir and --altdir.
Now i just have to figure out how to change my url at the registry... :)
@kas Yeah, it's way easier to upload files to github than to my hoster. But i'm giving up, the official mdom is now under https://mdom.github.io/twtxt.txt.
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.
@josch, @quite To be honest, my real url is http://www.domgoergen.com/twtxt.txt, and it doesn't support ssl... :)
txtnix v0.03 now has support for mentions via registries. Now, if just more users would use registries...
@dracoblue It doesn't seem to matter what page i request, the result is always the same? #registry
@josch I would just create a second config file and call twtxt with --config...
@kas I learned the sherpas knot http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/surgeonknot.htm from Ian and never used another knot.
@kas Better check that the mail is really coming from you.
@kas Just put <|formail -x subject | sed 's/ tweet //' | xargs txtnix tweet in your procmailrc and send mails with the subject: tweet msg.
Can't decide if https://github.com/binfalse/jabber-vs-twitter is crazy or genius. Probably both.
First release of txtnix should be hitting cpan any minute now.
New version of txtnix. I would be happy if anybody could test the no-dependency script at http://mdom.github.io/txtnix.
My one daily hour of programming was spent today with writing tests for txtnix. So tired now ...
As german speaker i missed the unintended meaning of txtwat. Sorry, if anybody was offended. The project is now called txtnix.
You can download txtwat as self contained perl script that should run on all recent versions of perl http://mdom.github.io/txtwat.
Just renamed twtxtpl to txtwat https://github.com/mdom/txtwat.
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
You can set expand_name to 0 if you want to hide your local nicknames.
Forget to tweet about it, but twtxtpl expands and collapses mentions since last night.
@kas That probably my client at https://github.com/mdom/twtxtpl. It sends a proper user agent string now.
Parsing iso8601 is way to hard, maybe http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339 would be a better choice?
I'm developing my own implementation of a twtxt client with perl at https://github.com/mdom/twtxtpl
