2024-04-15T02:40:58+01:00	Hello Twtxters!
2024-04-15T02:44:49+01:00	At last! my Twtxt feed is up and running and I can post to it from a remote client! Yey!
2024-04-15T14:35:47+01:00	Good! I guess I'm done setting up my Twtxt. I'll be juggling between the official CLI and Twixter, although I already have a favorite.
2024-04-15T19:37:10+01:00	I'm still figuring out interactions mechanics on Twtxt, for example the at symbol is sufficient to mention someone you follow I guess, like @<twtxt https://buckket.org/twtxt_news.txt> when using the twtwt cli. is that implemented in the twtxt cli as well? it wouldn't heart to try
2024-04-15T19:39:07+01:00	Nope! it didn't work... I still have some digging to do.
2024-04-15T19:42:50+01:00	Oh, nevermind... it did! I've just checked my twtxt.txt file. Now I have to figure out replays 🫤
2024-04-17T23:32:18+01:00	(#3j7ucpa) Oh! thank you @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> and @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> ! I've noticed your replays by chance checking my logs 😊
2024-04-17T23:37:20+01:00	(#3j7ucpa) I wonder if anyone got that as a replay 🥲 I tried and copied thread's tag from twtxt.net
2024-04-17T23:56:37Z	Testing! Testing! One two FREEE!!
2024-04-18T00:03:05Z	Aaaaand another one?
2024-04-18T00:04:33Z	Ok! third one is the charm... right? right!!?
2024-04-18T00:12:06Z	Hello Jenny!
2024-04-18T00:30:53Z	Test!
2024-04-18T01:52:53Z	Thanks again @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> !! I have figured things out and set up Jenny and Vim completion following your blog post! Cheers!
2024-04-18T12:54:58Z	(#jmbfhca) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> yeah, it seems like it. But I don't mind using neomutt to go through my feed, it feel like a huge upgrade compared to the usual pager 😄
2024-04-18T17:05:15Z	(#jmbfhca) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Haha! I'm still figuring my way around but Thank you!
2024-04-19T17:40:44Z	Down the rabbit hole we go... *Wee* !!
2024-04-20T02:43:53Z	(#jmbfhca) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> Thank you! and sorry, I've just noticed your twt. About the funky characters, it's probably something off with my editor, I've just ssh-ed from mobile and checked my .txt file, it looked like that when I cat the file but normal on neoutt. I'll try and see what's the deal first thing in the morning. (/me wondering if the same thing would happen with this twt)
2024-04-20T02:55:55Z	(#jmbfhca) yep, it did! And it's definitely something with vim.
2024-04-20T03:03:19Z	... or is it vi? 🤔
2024-04-20T20:01:19Z	(#jmbfhca) OK time to put this to the test, I ended up setting my $VISUAL env  {-here-} variable, so that jenny can launch neovim instead of plain old vi like  {-here-} it is instructed in the code. But as you can see, I still get these  {-here-} wired new lines every ~70th character (marked them with {-here-})
2024-04-20T20:09:35Z	Now I'm about to do something that May...be... stupid, I'm no dev but I'll try and replace the U+201 in the script with a space and see what happens ...
2024-04-20T20:17:20Z	(#gtqdgla) lets test this now yadi yadi yada a gray fox jumped from I don't know what over something or someone! ... nope! still does the thing ...
2024-04-20T20:22:34Z	(#gtqdgla) Wait a second! I did get the new line in my editor but the <U+2028>s dissapeared from the twtxt.txt file.  let's add in a new line just to make sure I did not break anything. 😂👍
2024-04-20T20:24:26Z	(#gtqdgla) borked it! no new lines for me 😂👍🏻
2024-04-20T23:21:35Z	(#nlzhexa) @<shreyan https://twtxt.net/user/shreyan/twtxt.txt> ever tried [KeepassXC](https://keepassxc.org/) or [Pass/Password Store](https://www.passwordstore.org/) ? They are worth giving a try ... Then you can keep your KeepassXD database in synch across your devices with (NOT /R/s/y/n/c) I meant [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) or git in the case Pass (using a git repo in within your local network of course) 👍🏼(edited)
2024-04-21T00:02:08Z	(#gtqdgla) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> it actually does!   But I broke something trying to get rid of the random characters showing on my twts as mentioned here [#k7tcqwq](https://twtxt.net/twt/k7tcqwq). I taught it was as easy as swapping the '\u2028' in jenny's new_twt_from_file function but there's a reason I'm not a developer (yet) 😅  It kinda got rid of them in a way but broke the new lines in the process. So I put things back the way the were till I figure out something else.
2024-04-21T00:19:12Z	(#lbyemiq) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> I'm using both machines in English.  Checked my locale and it spits out:  LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=  🤷🏽 ... and that only happens when vi, vim or nvim are launched by Jenny to compose a twt.
2024-04-21T00:51:44Z	(#lbyemiq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Thank you! and here's a twt with the said random characters, since I've been cleaning them up manually, earlier before scp-ing my twtxt.txt file. And maybe a screenshot of how things look in my editor? ![screenshot of neovim](https://aelaraji.com/2024-04-21_01-37-08_931x123.png)  Those new lines are added automatically as I type (except for the ones after the screenshot.
2024-04-21T01:38:23Z	(#lbyemiq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> sure! Give me a couple of minutes to set things up. Also, you can check the charset again, I did set it up even tho I do observe the problem in my twtxt.txt file on my local machine way before doing scp to the remote one. They show up when I use bat but not when I cat the file nor on neomut.
2024-04-21T01:45:10Z	(#vokg2fa) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> can't say for sure, but I believe it's a JetBrainsMono Nerd Font ... I'm kind of the set it and forget it type. but will try and check later to be sure.
2024-04-21T14:58:04Z	(#nlzhexa) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> You definitely have got a point!  It is kind of a hassle to keep things in sync and NOT eff up. It happened to me before but I was lucky enough to have backups elsewhere. But, now I kind of have a workflow to avoid data loss while benefiting from both tools.  P.S: my bad, I meant Syncthing earlier on my original replay instead of Rsync. 🫠
2024-04-21T15:03:42Z	(#jmbfhca) @<lyse https://lyse.isobeef.org/twtxt.txt> Awesome! glad to hear that!
2024-04-21T15:32:51Z	(#vq5z3tq) I might have found the actual source of my problem.  Jenny uses an .eml file when composing a twt ...  and vim kinda auto formats it and inserts in those line breaks every ~70 character.    Then, I stumbled upon this link where [Where someone reports](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503271) that saving a .eml into a .txt might... corrupt the data?
2024-04-21T18:36:42Z	(#nlzhexa) @<mckinley https://twtxt.net/user/mckinley/twtxt.txt> I can't say for sure. I didn't even know how three-way merges work till I looked it up. I guess it's more of git thing that would prove useful in the case of using passwordstore/pass. As for Keepass, all I do is syncing it's database file across devices using syncting. Never felt the need to try anything else.  I guess it is safe enough for my use case, with [Backup database before saving](https://keepassxc.org/docs/KeePassXC_UserGuide#_advanced_save_options) on and custom [Backup Path Placeholders](https://keepassxc.org/docs/KeePassXC_UserGuide#_backup_path_placeholders) as Backup plan in case of an Eff up.
2024-04-21T20:52:00Z	(#vq5z3tq) ... Or, maybe (most likely) I don't know what I'm talking about.  Anyway, let's get ... Twtn'? Twtxting? Tw... /me will shut up! 😶
2024-04-22T10:04:05Z	(#ypx5nrq) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I wonder if there's something I can add to this test feed's metadata to get it unlisted so no one follows it by accident.
2024-04-22T10:07:47Z	Good Morning everyone! Wishing all of you a productive and Happy Monday!
2024-04-23T19:43:42Z	(#2v6ranq) @<jdtron https://tilde.team/~jdtron/twtxt.txt> you'd be surprised! I just did :)
2024-04-23T22:46:40Z	(#2v6ranq) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> Yeah I know! 😅 I've checked their blog and mastodon earlier. That's what inspired me to replay to their twt, just in case.
2024-04-24T15:59:02Z	(#z4m2yla) Wishing you a swift recovery @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt>
2024-04-28T01:19:55Z	It's kinda quiet in here today!
2024-04-28T19:51:35Z	(#lqnxaxa) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> TBH It was quite late (where I am) when I wrote that twt, way past 2 AM ... 😅 But there wasn't much activity during the day either. It got me wondering if there was something wrong with my cron task for fetching your feeds.  Maybe it's just the weekends. + there isn't much bloat content around this space as on the usual platforms anyway.
2024-04-28T20:00:17Z	(#dlwuhua) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Well, Imagine getting to wake up around that same time, every, single, day. 🥱  (It ain't as good of a live as it sounds though.)
2024-04-28T20:48:17Z	(#iq4rusa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> It was one of (if not THE) first feed(s) I got to follow after discovering Twtxt and setting up my own. It was quite nice for the first couple of hours, I've even got to explore a couple of @<dfaria.eu https://dfaria.eu/twtxt.txt>'s articles.   Theeeeen... Things started to feel a bit overwhelming I had to "Clean Things Up!".  Flushed my whole Jenny/Mutt cached twtxt feed and re-synced everything all over again.  But hey, Good evening! 🎧🎵Guns N' Roses - Live and let die.
2024-04-28T20:50:31Z	(#gadf52q) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> Roger that! 🫡
2024-04-28T21:16:02Z	(#lqnxaxa) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> Oh, That sounds delicious! B'Saha![1]  I'm Glad you've had quite the productive! All I remember of mine is three chapters of an old novel at the coffee shop aaand ... Now I'm here, in front of a computer. Everything in between is just *Blank* 😅  [1] B'saha: Moroccan word for "With health!" (a literal translation) usually used as an equivalent for the French expression "Bon Appétit!" but also used as "Congratulation!"
2024-04-29T02:31:07Z	(#tltyzqq) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> It would definitely impress the Moroccan ones. Not sure about the other nationalities, though. 😅   (TL;DR: each country/region has it's own dialect)
2024-04-29T02:57:31Z	I have finally decided on creating a proper... (landing page?) home page or whatever it is for my domain name.  It has been the same eye soar of a blank white page for years now.  And this, is when I had something I wanted to toy with in the background,  otherwise, which is most of the time, to be precise, It wasn't pointing at anything at all. 😅
2024-04-29T03:00:09Z	(#jleb2hq) It will be minimal for the time being.  The bare minimum, just ... Not blank.
2024-04-29T17:50:28Z	(#4b5wi3a) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>  I actually love that one! But no. Mine will be a simple header and a sub-header, breaking that ugly void. I might add in a couple of links later but that will be it. Till I make a functional one.
2024-05-01T00:54:48Z	(#u6enjda) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> That's awesome!! Congratulations! 🎉🎉
2024-05-01T13:42:36Z	(#hjcroaa) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> well there is "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"! I usualy hear people ask Harry Mack (a freestyle rapper) to include it in his freestyles. 😆
2024-05-01T17:08:32Z	(#ugqa7ra) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> There are a [couple more](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_word_in_English) I went and looked them up but I can't imagine myself using any except for  "honorificabilitudinitatibus" ... It kinda sounds good and has a nice meaning I guess.
2024-05-01T17:48:35Z	(#7zepcma) @<dev1ls gemini://texto-plano.xyz/dev1ls/twtxt.txt> First replay to your first twtxt from Spain! (I guess) Welcome back in! 🖖
2024-05-01T23:49:35Z	(#7zepcma) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> I've dropped him a message earlier on Mastodon, will let him know if he replays 👌
2024-05-02T01:32:29Z	(#7zepcma) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I guess, you don't get to check the logs if you host your feed file on a pubnix ...
2024-05-02T01:57:57Z	(#gpwgxxa) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> I looked it up, couldn't find a proper course/tutorial. 😂
2024-05-02T15:45:16Z	Do you believe one can survive surfing the web using a text-based web browser? (i.e: Lynx or W3m) no CSS no Bling for at least 24 hours 😲
2024-05-02T16:08:40Z	(#vrckl3a) Decided to give it a try and I'm already starting to feal the pain LOL
2024-05-02T16:19:43Z	(#vrckl3a) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> Oh! Thank you for the link! I'm checking it right away! I hope I don't get slapped with a "HTTP/1.1 426 Upgrade Required" there as well.  As for Netflix and Co. I can do without for the time being. I guess I have binge watched enough content I feel like I miss missing it. 😂
2024-05-02T16:48:29Z	(#vrckl3a) @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> Well trust me if I tell you that most of my past addictions have started with a "Just once" or a "24 hrs challenge".  I'm reading through the Week Week In TTY thread you've linked earlier and oh-boy!  People went All In TTY and no X ... I'm tempted! Although I do not believe I can last more than a couple of hours 😅 but I'll keep on reading.  And again, Thank you!
2024-05-02T22:22:30Z	(#5jnaj6q) @<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> What are we testing? 🫡
2024-05-02T22:44:08Z	(#ry5fekq) @<dbucklin https://www.davebucklin.com/twtxt.txt> apparently Txtnish isn't maintained anymore. if interested you could give [Jenny](https://www.uninformativ.de/git/jenny/file/README.html) a try. I've never had to look back once I've had it set up with mutt following  @<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt> 's [guide](https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2021-09-19/0/POSTING-en.html)
2024-05-02T23:39:16Z	I guess I'm not missing my GUI Web Browser yet. In fact, I think I'm enjoying this. 😆 ![not sure if this is the right way to embed an image LOL](https://aelaraji.com/static/img/screenshot-I-do-not-miss-my-gui-browser-1.jpg)  I might even drop to TTY to try stuff I read about earlier today.
