Does anyone else declare a computer dead after extensive testing, let it sit on a shelf for 2 weeks or a year, try it again, and have it work fine? It seems like that’s happened to me a lot more than it should.

(#uim6uvq) @prologic@twtxt.net Crap! 🤣

It’s unfortunate that so many people in tech have such an unfriendly communication style. I won’t read comments on HackerNews, for example. It’s sad, because these people might be more knowledgeable and they might have important things to add, but I just don’t like “being shouted at”. 🫤

A blog post of mine is on the front page of HackerNews again. Not sure if I like this. 🤔 Let’s hope there won’t be people shouting at me this time. Angry nerds can get quite emotional …

(#624dwtq) @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?

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.
