@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net (#ehjdwbq) Just one more (high profile) case.

Mandating a return to the office, instead of not letting workers decide what works best for them is, at the very least, shortsighted.

@kevin@om.gd (#2emlw4q) is it just me, or BBS access via telnet oh.mg (port 23) isn’t working?

(#womrxga) @mutefall@twtxt.net Thank you for that. I’m loving it so far :D

(#womrxga) @prologic@twtxt.net Oh that is neat. Thank you for your patience clearing these basic doubts.

Finally got twet - another twtxt client - working on my system. The README.md under https://github.com/jdtron/twet should be more explicit, some us have no clue what Go is. The instructions in https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-build-and-install-go-programs got me going.

(#womrxga) @prologic@twtxt.net From a little that I understand about this, wouldn’t that make people discovering duplicated posts? One coming from original local and another entry synced to a local feed in twtxt.net.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de (#opev6mq) That’s the scenario, yes. Importing twtxt feeds seems like a good functionality, but it doesn’t totally replace (or exaust) the scenarios in which one could want to have their “prev, static twtxt file” on a different path/subdomain/etc…

@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com and @prologic@twtxt.net Here are my ideas for a datamodel and UI for lists aka
categorisation of feeds/users: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/issues/937#issuecomment-11967

(#sxpwova) @prologic@twtxt.net The Videos I’m uploading in this pod have thumbnails but if I provide video url, it doesn’t have thumbnail

(#nsmsvfq) https://twitt.re

(#uua4yfa) @prologic@twtxt.net https://we.loveprivacy.club videos has thumbnails but why not other urls?

(#womrxga) @mckinley@twtxt.net Thank you! You even better described what I wanted to achieve :D

(#q27o2pq) Wtf! Where is thumbnail?

@prologic@twtxt.net (#nsmsvfq) https://github.com/zedeus/nitter

@prologic@twtxt.net (#vp2aicq) It’s a hint: it nudges my feed’s followers “hey read this twtxt in another feed”. We can probably find a better way to implement these hints or nudges, but if there’s nothing in place, I wonder if we won’t end up with a bunch of twtxts just saying “agree” or “+1”…

@prologic@twtxt.net (#nsmsvfq) Apparently, nitter “Uses Twitter’s unofficial API (no rate limits or developer account required)”, so I suppose you could run your own instance and not depend on a 3rd party, or even just see on nitter’s code (it’s free software!) thev relevant parts of that ‘unofficial API’…

@prologic@twtxt.net (#opev6mq) Spoofing is always possible, and always a concern (don’t we “deal” with it already for the url field?).

For the side-question, the feature is nice but depends on availability, and trust, I’m more interested in adversarial interoperability. What if I’m moving from a pod because I dislike their new policies, or new terms of service, their monetization model, etc.? And what guarantees do we have that every pod (or even yarn implementation) will have the redirect option available to its users?

@prologic@twtxt.net (#vp2aicq) ReTweet… Two common things I miss here from twitter: RTs and ’s.

@tkanos@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net (#womrxga) Awesome, looking forward to use it!

@prologic@twtxt.net (#nsmsvfq) Nitter’s RSS solves the issue! I’d probably advocate for replacing the current (not working) Twitter import option with it! Sure, you get dependent on a 3rd party, but it avoids all the “hypocrisy” questions! ;-)

(#vp2aicq) @marado@feeds.twtxt.net Now I just need to know what does the twtxt community do in lieu of RT…

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de (#opev6mq) Imagine I want to stop updating my feed on my domain.com by starting a new feed at coolerdomain.net, but point to the previous one in its previous address, for history purposes.

Or maybe I want to stop using this pod because I think I like yours best, or I host my own now… so I want to continue there, pointing to this as my previous one.

@anx@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net (#womrxga) O-o, you are? That would be great, really. I have been pondering about replacing my locally hosted feed by this one by cron’ing a wget or something like that…

@prologic@twtxt.net @mckinley@twtxt.net (#nsmsvfq) awesome tip!

(#womrxga) @prologic@twtxt.net I apologise, I’m new to this, probably mixing the concepts by now… I see some users that when I click on their Twtxt link it takes me to their self-hosted twtxt.txt.

(#3fxfygq) @mckinley@twtxt.net In mobile?

(#tiw3dgq) @mckinley@twtxt.net you-get is better than streamlink

(#pyqnmra) @prologic@twtxt.net I did ☹

(#abje5mq) @prologic@twtxt.net thank you PageKite is perfect open-source alternative to ngrok

(#womrxga) @support@twtxt.net Hi! I’m hosting my own twtxt.txt, can I customise my URL to that one?

@prologic@twtxt.net (#nsmsvfq) 😥 It might be worth doing it via twitter’s API… but since I’m not volunteering to implement it, I’ll just remain sad :-P

@prologic@twtxt.net here’s another question (sorry!), is something wrong going on with the feeds service? https://feeds.twtxt.net/twitter-mind_booster/twtxt.txt does not seem to be updated since January (but the source is…)

(#opev6mq) I’m uncertain I’m looking at the right place, but from how I read it, absolute URLs not only aren’t mandated, they aren’t even a possibility. I’ll open a PR soon™

(#wp6qgva) @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com My ISP in India doesn’t even allow to open any port. Almost impossible to selfhost anything with my ISP

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t want to miss this weekend’s live conference

Hey @prologic@twtxt.net, https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/archivefeedsextension.html allows only for a prev filename but not a full URL. Is there any reason why? Even for non-self-hosters, being able to point to a new domain would be good for interoperability, right?

Salty UI demo?

(#3fxfygq) Please use peertube

(#mxydqka) @prologic@twtxt.net I’m on it! 😎
