(#oabutna) LOL it works 🤣

Hey @mastodon@bridge.twtxt.net 👋

(#ailusxa) @bender@twtxt.net Not even a GotoSocial server? 🤔

(#ailusxa) @bender@twtxt.net You don’t run one anymore do you? 🤔

(#ailusxa) @bender@twtxt.net Bit big of a server no? 🤔

(#skbkeha) Someone, on the Bridge, this is meant to have sent @manton@bridge.twtxt.net a “Follow Request” via Activity Pub hmmm 🧐

Test (_did I fix this shit™-)?

Hey @manton@bridge.twtxt.net 👋 Why yes I believe I did!

Anyone run a Mastodon serve rI can have an account on to help test the Twtxt <-> Activity Pub bridge? 🙏

(#irratza) @bender@twtxt.net I need another side that I can unblame 🤣

(#bwcf4ca) I think because it still inserted the wrong alias in my following list:

# follow = manton@bridge.twtxt.net https://bridge.twtxt.net/twtxt/remote/d428c49928a4a0d1.txt

(#bwcf4ca) I’m not currently sure why this is tab-completing incorrectly hmmm 🧐

Testing 1 2 3 @manton@twtxt.net

I wound up running 2 out of 3 of the one-shots, both Halloween games based on Ravenloft / Curse of Strahd, and both rousing successes (for the players, not so much for Strahd).

Since I’m on something of a gaming kick, I think I’m going to try and finish plotting out the rest of the fae adventure I’m running for my kids, while also (hopefully) finishing my super secret astral gaming project.

Can I do it? Stay tuned and find out!

(#kgs3t5a) Wow :O That didn’t work!

Test @-mentioning@twtxt.net an AP actor via the Bridge. Hey @manton@twtxt.net 👋

(#33b5jaq) I need some test Activity Pub / Mastodon users to test with 🤔

(#33b5jaq) And this isn’t even me, it’s the other end 🤣

WOW LOL

fetch https://weaknotes.com/users/david: status 500 Internal Server Error

First real test failed trying to lookup / follow @david@weaknotes.com

(#kqqd2ha) Haha 🤣 I wonder what the reliability of executing a sleep in a 200 billion year loop cycle is? 🤔

For those curious, the new Twtxt <-> ActivityPub bridge I’m building (bidirectional) simply requires three things:

1. You register your Twtxt feed to the bridge: https://bridge.twtxt.net
   
2. You verify that you in fact own/control the feed by putting the verification code somewhere on/in your feed (doesn’t matter where or how)
   
3. You proxy/forward requests for /.well-known/webfinger to the Bridge bridge.twtxt.net.
   

I’m still testing through and ironing out bugs 🐛 Please be patient! 🙏

(#suci4fq) technically I can put the Bridge verificaiton code in my feed’s metadata so no-one really ever sees or notices it 🤔 Maybe I’ll add a first-class button/field thingy in yarnd so users can “register their feed” straight from their pod? 🤔

Man, @quark@ferengi.one has an absolute gold mine. Having dealt again with different clocks and all sorts of strange time things at work today, this made my day! https://netbros.com/1755172401/ :‘-D

(#ixka6ca) @bender@twtxt.net Hahahahahaahaaa, you’re right, it can’t be anything else! :‘-D Must have been one of these manmade objects. Let’s hope they will become a full member of the Grant Wishes Council soon. In any case, I will keep trying.

@danie10@bridge.twtxt.net Fuel efficiency was the reason I had picked the economy instead of the “whatever you have” option in the first place. Although in fairness, I’d have to get a pretty big car to rent a car less efficient than my personal beast which is at the shop.

(#ftss7fa) @bender@twtxt.net Twtxt <-> ActivityPub (2nd time’s the charm? 🤣)

Testing new design, architecture and implementation of a Twtxt bridge I’m working on…

Please ignore.

@jalefkowit@bridge.twtxt.net IMHO they should keep working on it.

(#bfbkxpq) @bender@twtxt.net I wished my mate would see it, too. But he turned his head a second too late. :-(

@kentonvarda.com That is a fair point. It is also not very cohesive in a “I don’t know what you want, but I’m required to say something” way. It managed to cover your grammar, the source of food insecurity, telling you “just eat something” (which is how I respond to family members who say they’re hungry), and tops it off with a funny video.

On today’s night walk I came across an absolutely giant shooting star. With it being visible for three seconds, it’s my second largest I’ve ever seen so far.

@kentonvarda.com I really hate to defend an AI model, or Google, but you did not give it much to go on here. I would’ve assumed you were telling the machine you were hungry and wanted it to suggest food near you.

The sky picked up a few colors for just a few minutes: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2025-11-13/

Rental car company absolutely tried scamming me. Obviously they didn’t have the car I reserved, so they wanted to upcharge me like 40% for a nicer car they had… I was able to edit the reservation online while standing there to “whatever you have” for the same cost as my original reservation.
I walked out with the same car they wanted more money for at the same price I had booked for.

(#hnbf6ta) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup, it’s been some days here, too.

(#n7g6uxq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, you were spot on! It took me a bit to figure this out on my own. I’m actually very surprised to have gotten this wrong. Oh well.

(#3neip4q) No, I was using an empty hash URL when the feed didn’t specify a url metadata. Now I’m correctly falling back to the feed URL.

(#3neip4q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, I noticed that too. I haven’t double-checked my code, though. Maybe it has something to do with selecting the correct URL? I mean, these feeds don’t have any # url = fields, so maybe that’s it?

(#oos3ufq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ah, there it is. 😃 Never gets old. 👍

(#tqjqvwa) @arne@uplegger.eu … I still haven’t watched that show. 🤦

(#kf2fo5q) @prologic@twtxt.net And none of them use Yarn-style threading. I don’t think they’re aware of us, they’re probably using plain twtxt. Other than one hit by @threatcat@tilde.club a few days ago, I’ve seen no traffic from them. 🤔

Hmmm, looks like my twt hash algorithm implementation calculates incorrect values. Might be the tilde in the URL that throws something off. :-? At least yarnd and jenny agree on a different hash.

(#uhwlufa) @bender@twtxt.net Hmm, didn’t find anything. But you mean a giant bucketload of access_log /home/$USER/logs/access.log if=… where the condition matches the requested path for said user? Yeah, that gets annoying very quickly. :-D

(#tqjqvwa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Uuuhhh, beautiful! <3

Speaking of sunsets … https://movq.de/v/753ab5f9e5/sunset.jpg

(#gcaqtmq) @threatcat@tilde.club Let me guess, sl? 😏

(#sxlpyva) This looks like a botnet, to be honest. The IPs are all over the place. Ethopia, Brazil, Kenya, Lebanon, Netherlands, … I mean, that’s the logical thing to do, isn’t it? Do your web crawling on infected PCs. Nobody will block those, because those are the same IP ranges as legitimate requests. And obviously you don’t have to pay for computing time.

… and they all send invalid HTTP requests, all answered with HTTP 400 … How silly.
