2025 - Happy New Year!

@@doesnm.p.psf.lt Perhaps this business model will be viable in the year 2125.

@prologic@twtxt.net to run that WireGuard tunnel you need to run the client on the same machine running the WireGuard server, right? Looking forward to your write up!

i need a tux plushie so bad i’m literally asking my sister to teach me how to sew just so i can make a tux plushie

Für mich, als leidenschaftlicher Raketenstocksammler, ist die Ausbreitung von Feuerwerksbatterien ein trauriger Fortschritt. Frohes Neues.

tried building the yarn social app for android but wahhh android studio and flutter scare me… big ass IDEs and SDKs and shit not worth it

happy new year to anyone who sees this <3

well it’s just me here. any friends wanna join

@prologic@twtxt.net Do you have any data about the #twtxt health? How many people are currently using twtxt?

Are there any good Registry? I like to check the mentions.

My cat, @terron@duque-terron.cat has his own twtxt account. Would you follow him? #catsoftwtxt

So I joined Stacker.news a few weeks ago. It’s like HackerNews if you consider a hot air balloon to rival a MiG-35 fighter jet.
And it turned out to be exactly what I expected.

Test Mention for Goryon! @doesnm@demo.yarn.social

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s hosted at home on an computer I didn’t use anymore. It worked well for a few months, and since maybe the beginning of December, it begun to be very slow. But like I said, I have no time for that now, but if I have questions when I’ll look, I’ll think of you 😅 (but I was thinking about installing a new OS before these problems, I may just do that).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Congratulations! That’s a real milestone.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks ☺️. I simply used the favicon of my website, to see if that works, and it look like it does! twtxt extensions are quite easy to use! You all did a great job.

I’m currently writing a tutorial (in French) to learn the basics of groff + mom to typeset generalist PDF (not manpages). It’s my nerdy project for the time being, and it grew quite larger than I anticipated (it probably will have 40 pages when finished)… not because groff is hard, but because my goal is people who never touched a formatting language, so I have to cover the basics.

@prologic@twtxt.net That is definitely possible on Java Edition but you have to fly the Jolly Roger.

@prologic@twtxt.net This is the original Java Edition which is only for PC and doesn’t use Xbox Live, though you do need to use a Microsoft account to play it legitimately and join most servers. There is another version, Bedrock Edition, which is on consoles and phones as well and it uses Xbox Live.

On Bedrock, you can just invite another player into your world, but there are dedicated servers as well and they’re relatively easy to host.

@bender@twtxt.net I have used https://docker-minecraft-server.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for a group of friends. I like it because the server can be configured entirely using environment variables in your compose file. The only exception as far as I can tell is configuration for any plugins or mods you install. Version, server type (vanilla, paper, etc), Java options, ops, whitelist, anything in server.properties, it’s all in the environment variables.

I’ve also heard good things about https://craftycontrol.com/ if you want a Web UI.

Hi everybody! I just created this account and I have absolutely no idea if this works… but it does seem promising!

Actually better than game console: https://elon.cucked.me/grapplingdev/status/1872013696077308284

hmm any ideas how to fix this case when there is no nick and it on a shared tilde hosting? http://darch.dk/timeline/profile?url=https://tilde.club/~deepend/twtxt.txt

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt So the user should then set nick = _@domain.tld in the twtxt.txt?

It seems more intuitive and userfriendly to just use: nick = domain.tld and have then convention for clients to render the handle as @domain.tld instead of @domain.tld@domain.tld

For a feed with no nick defined (eg. https://akkartik.name/twtxt.txt) it will also be simpler and make more sense to just use the domain as the nick and render it as @domain.tld

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net This is some real old-school malware. Maybe it’s not such a good idea to let motherboard vendors run whatever code they want inside your operating system. Pro tip: This only happens in legacy operating systems.

ASUS Christmas Campaign Sparks Malware Panic Among Windows Users
ASUS computer owners have been reporting widespread alarm after a Christmas-themed banner suddenly appeared on their Windows 11 screens, accompanied by a suspicious “Christmas.exe” process in Task Manager.

@eapl.me@eapl.me A way to have a more bluesky’ish handles in twtxt could be to take inspiration from Bridgy Fed and say: If NICK = DOMAIN then only show @DOMAIN
So instead of @eapl.me@eapl.me it will just be @eapl.me

And it event seem that it will not break webfinger lookup: https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=%40darch.dk (at least not for how I’ve implemented webfinger on my sever for a single user;)

Is https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial dead?

Is there any rule or information about images in the twtxt specification?

Thanks @bender@twtxt.net for the feedback. I fixed and expanded the article. I’m sorry for my poor interaction. Furthermore, I’m reading and writing while programming a client in Emacs.

Years ago, I had a falling out with PayPal, when they implemented ToS changes, that would let them withhold your money without a reason and randomly subtract “ToS violation fees” from your balance.

They reverted the ToS violation fees part, but I refuse to do business with any company, who has the goal, to even try presenting such a change, to their clients.

I’m not surprised PayPal is alongside questionable fee increases, also running scummy browser extensions (through companies they acquired), that override almost all affiliate links with PayPals and present you with inferior discount coupons, to trick you into spending more money, shopping on sites owned by their partners.

The honey extension scam - YouTube video

Ironic they were even “referal link scamming” the influencers, they paid to promote their extension - PayPals ability to scam the clueless is quite impressive, but luckily it does not work on me.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev nos comparte su artículo “twtxt, la red social en texto plano, descentralizada y minimalista”

I would like to share my lastest article about #twtxt on my blog: https://programadorwebvalencia.com/twtxt-la-red-social-en-texto-plano-descentralizada-y-minimalista/ . Attention! It is a Spanish

I don’t plan on making that code public. This is purely a learning project for myself.

So, just a hobby. It won’t be big and professional like GNU, then?

Seriously, that’s very cool. I wish my bootloader was that excited about a successful boot.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right. It’s nice. I’ve had the same one through numerous router restarts and at least two 4-6 hour power outages. I’m definitely not paying for a wildly inflated business plan to self-host a few things. It was like that on my last ISP as well, although they only gave me about 20mbps up.

@prologic@twtxt.net It looks interesting; definitely a novel approach. I just don’t think I have any use for it right now. I’ve thought about joining one those pubnixes that are around but I don’t think I’d ever do anything with an account on someone else’s server.

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess the difference is that your self-hosted services are publicly accessible so it allows such a setup. For me, everything is over Wireguard. If that link breaks and I’m not at home I can’t resolve domain names, let alone do any kind of server administration. That’s what the hidden service is for.

Early on, I was thinking about WAN IP address changes as well but it hasn’t happened in ~2.5 years with this ISP.

@prologic@twtxt.net There’s no remote administration in the Mills DC? Not even through a VPN?

QOTD: Do you have a way to get back into your home network if you get locked out?

I have a Tor hidden service that lets me SSH into my server from anywhere. I never had to use it until last week. I was playing around with the port forwarding configuration on my router for Wireguard (migrating to a new server, very exciting), forgot to change it back, and found myself an hour away from home hoping to watch a show on Jellyfin. All it took to fix it was an SSH port forward through that hidden service to (very slowly) access my home router’s Web interface.

My 400th Twtxt Post will be about you: wishing you, reader of my Twtxt feed, all the best for the coming year and most of all love, health, and that your projects and work may contribute to the greater good of all mankind. I will be taking a social-media break for a couple of weeks to enjoy this special time with my family. I hope you will be able to do this with your family and friends too.
