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

@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).

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.

In-reply-to » @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

@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

Did I write here already that the reason why I love Twtxt so much is that it works without having to compile, install anything extra. Just the bin applications that come with 95% of all operating systems and you’re good to read and participate, giving you have a domain name somewhere to host the twtxt.txt file.
