projects: built raven, a small twtxt client in go

Artgame time: https://themadturtle.itch.io/an-end-of-a-story-that-dosent-exist

I don’t want to twt only about music so I’ll try to contain myself

No More We Cry [1985 EP] by The Hated was not overhyped. Damn. The closure is fucking amazing.

Submitted my twtxtc patch to upstream… and before I could publish this, it has been merged!

Trying out fancy mentions @cringe@git.sr.ht

The sources of twtxt are well documented, I had no trouble implementing automatic mentions!

I’ve Seen Better Days by amaii stays one of my favorite 2022 albums.

Reading the sources of twtxtc (the twtxtc client I’m using), might try to add support for mentions.

Heeeey isn’t that @cringe@git.sr.ht!

Hellowo

After a few hours of usage, twtxt feels very in control, in the same way personnal websites do. I feel better writing for it than on other social medias, including Mastodon. The software isn’t using me this time, I’m using it. It’s everything I love about RSS, but as a small social network. No dependencies, accessible to everyone and powerful. Very cool!

Didn’t even notice #LDJam 52 submissions ended. Will have to check out some of the submissions once we’re done with our game.

We won’t have finished our #LDJam creation by the end of the day. And that’s fine. We’ll complete it by the end of the week and submit in the Extra category.

Added metadata to my twtxt feed, so I can go from incredibly obscure to extremely obscure~

Sobs has a 2017 EP! Glad I missed it, I thought it was over after their two studio albums.

alienmelon’s Electric Zine Maker is more than I anticipated. Something I was expecting to be a tool ended up being emotionaly crushing. Getting so much kindness from the tool, before absorbing so much darkness at once without the time to brace for it feels worse than weird. I recommand to try it, weither you want to make zines or not. It’s a very unique, exceptional, work and experience. Everything is in the details.

Just finished listening to Manuel Göttsching‎’s 1975 album Inventions for Electric Guitar. Impressive.

Hello world! Happily trying out twtxt, hoping it will be a better fit for me than Mastodon.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci & @prologic@twtxt.net: thank you for resolving the issue with refresh property!

Is there an easy way to get the timeline I read on twtxt.net timeline in RSS?

@prologic@twtxt.net (#qsjny5a) Hey, I had no intent to complain or express frustration. Just really feel excited about what you ppl have created around twtxt and would like to engage to make things better.

Recording the resistance in my process of “trying to figure out what you guys are talking about” / providing an outsider’s view (not like the ppl in conversations who know the context well) may do help in some ways, I guess. And it’s my turn to say sorry for my limited technical skills 🙈.

Thanks for your clarification and I’ll take time to learn more about existing extensions.

Hi there! As a novice (digging from a blog site -> that uses ASS -> that mentions twtxt in its one repo issue) here, I’m a bit confused when using Yarn pod site & Goryon Android APP.

While scrolling twts on Goryon, I’ll 100 percent press conversation btn if one twt interests me, to know the context. However scrolling down, I probably see the same twt in another twt’s conversation. So that means the upper subject just don’t show up when I check the conversation of one twt involved?

Then I turn to Yarn pod site to get some clues. In the main timeline page replies are called Yarn, same as Conversation in Goryon, right? hopping in then I finally know there’s a Root behind this twt. One more click, better than not knowing in Goryon.

Now I have a vague feeling that conversation Forks like a tree. A reply with replies to it becomes a subject that owns #hash.

Is it possible to see the path to the starting root more easily? Maybe a btn to reveal/fold upper subjects, always on first page/screen so no need to click a lot.

This is a tweet from 2023!

(#ijtgw3a) @mckinley@twtxt.net non-x86 is still my primary machine at home, I wouldn’t want it any other way :) But it’s a bit more modern than G5.

(#ijtgw3a) @mckinley@twtxt.net Mostly, yes. I experimented with various other systems like the pre-systemd Debian, but the main OS for most tasks was Leopard. With Sevan’s pkgsrc repository, TenFourFox and TenFourBird it was pretty usable untill the end. This probably is my last desktop screenshot from it.

(#v4zylza) What does the fork button do?

(#pkyf3cq) @prologic@twtxt.net Oh okay. Forgive me, I’m not a big computer expert but I know what a hash is at least

(#pkyf3cq) @prologic@twtxt.net But how do you know that e-mail is mine if you don’t store it?

(#pkyf3cq) @support@twtxt.net You say you don’t store my email. How could you reset my password without it?

Just trying this whole Yarn thing out. How are we doing today?

Three days of using mutt and I’m already thinking of making it my main mail client.

(#ijtgw3a) @mckinley@twtxt.net I used this myself for ages (my primary machine was dual G5 until 2018), but this is all emulation - an i686 CPU is emulated in the QEMU to run i686 Windows. I’m running PowerPC version of Windows (only NT 3.5 and NT 4.0 were released for PowerPC as well as MIPS and DEC Alpha) on PowerPC workstation from 1995. It has a 67MHz PowerPC 603, 64 MB of RAM and 1GB HDD. Here is the original news from when it was released: https://techmonitor.ai/technology/bulls_low_end_powerpc_estrella_to_go_via_zenith

(#ijtgw3a) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, this is bare metal - I don’t even think that it is possible to run NT on PowerPC in emulation or at least I didn’t see anyone running it. It requires special firmware that only Motorola provided, about half dozen machines were supported. I had to download the firmware from archive.org and flash it as my Bull Estrella didn’t have it, just the generic firmware for running AIX.

(#55osyka) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I seem to like mutt and it only took one afternoon :)

(#ybid3lq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Mea culpa, I broke the thread myself - original twtxt client posts date in local time, Jenny posts GMT, so I corrected the timestamp in twtxt.txt, changing the hash… From now on I won’t mess with the file by hand.

Last week was a quite succesfull one: I survived up to and past my 39th birthday, built and configured Jenny+mutt, updated Intex Aqua Fish all the way from Sailfish OS 2.0 to 4.4, and installed Windows NT 4.0 Workstation on a PowerPC machine. http://screenshots.i-logout.cz/Bull_Estrella_WinNT_4-2022_11_26.png

Question for the more experienced: Is it safe to manually retroactivelly enter the topic hashes to my first twtxt posts? So that replies would group with the posts?

(#ehpotda) @prologic@twtxt.net I like that long links do not consume much of the tweet (which was mostly important back in the 140-character times), I hate the tracking as well though. And it used to mess gopher:// URLs!

Finally managed to configure Jenny and the mutt integration, so probably this would be my true start to twtxt. I’m still fighting the mutt a bit though as I always was more of a pine person.

I felt this weird last time when I tried to seriously use Plan 9. I don’t even know even how to reply to someone as it doesn’t seem like the original twtxt Python client supports the topic in brackets. But I managed Gopher, Z80 assembly, and paddleboarding, I will manage twtxt as well.

This twtxt thing is very new to me. Strange clients, I don’t know who to follow, I even do not understand the timeline. Nice.

Hello world!
