@bender I taught the whole ecosystem 馃榿
@prologic @eapl.me The question I was asked the most was: How do I discover people?
Someone came up with a fantastic idea, instead of adding the new twt at the end of the feed, do it at the beginning. So you can paginate by cutting the request every few lines.
Thank you @python_valencia for letting me show you the secrets of a decentralised plain text social network like twtxt.
I hope you enjoyed the talk! 鉂わ笍馃悕

I want to present the twtxt feed from Python Valencia: https://twtxt.python-valencia.es/
Technical curiosity: It is generated using n8n, using the official rss.

@eapl.me I think the benefits do not outweigh the disadvantages. Clients would have to read and merge the information from 2 txt and a new metadata would have to be added with the address of this file.
Also, it is very easy to filter or ignore it.

@lyse I had no idea. However, I think we're losing our sense of anonymity. I even started using my real name!

@movq I have no doubt that you're not seeing the images correctly 馃榾. It's just that it's broken when viewing them, in my case, and analyzing the URLs, I've seen everything I mentioned.
Regarding the hash, you're right. I'll have to investigate what's going on. I'm having a hard time getting the hash generation to work properly.

@prologic Can we add a table in twtxt.dev with features of each client?
- Is active?
- Extensions compatibility
- Language
- Multiaccount.
- Mutiuser
And so on...

@movq The urls of the images are strange! My client crashes to display them, and when I tried some urls, I found a redirect. Ah! And the images had two extensions.

@eapl.me I agree. The syntax is weird inside Gemini and twtxt is made with the http protocol in mind and Gemini doesn't work with some extensions.

@eapl.me Good job! I have added these comments:
1. It is only long for humans. Clients can only leave a hyperlink.
2. The nickname is just a decoration, only the date that acts as the id and the URL matter. The nick is used for humans reading the feed.
3. It can be migrated with a script, if the feed exists.

That's a great idea. I am running GoToSocial in a local server (like Raspberry Pi) and it's working fine.

What is twtxt for me? It is a community of users sharing plain text following a specification that can be readable by both humans and machines.
For some it is a microblogging platform, for others it is a social network, others see it as an enhanced RSS feed and a few consider it a hacker's toy. I use it as a learning platform. And as collateral damage, I'm meeting some very interesting people.

@prologic yes! Of course. However give me some time, I want to define a small proposal for the Registry (v2?)

@prologic If it develops, and I'm not saying it will happen soon, perhaps Yarn could be connected as an additional node. Implementation would not be difficult for any client or software. It will not only be a backup of twtxt, but it will be the source for search, discovery and network health.

What does the #twtxt community think about having a p2p database to store all history? This will be managed by Registries.

@prologic We often turn to a database when we can use a plain text file, such as a CSV. With sed or awk, you can run simple queries without using a database.
Did I get the context right? 馃榾

Today I learned how to use TestCaf茅. It is a E2E framework.
I needed it because I wanted to write a script that would launch a browser in the background, log me in with a username and password, and return the cookie value with the token ID. The goal is to perform tests with the token.

The other day, after a discussion online, we came to the conclusion that using awk+sed+tr could replace much of the development that requires a database. However, using SQLite to have a SQL syntax isn't a bad idea either. What do you think?

You can find the #twtxt-el channel in Libera IRC to talk about the twtxt.el client, I will keep my connection open so you can ask me questions. Thank you!

Hacer software c贸digo opensource es desafiante y paulatinamente desgasta a su autor. Todo comienza con pasi贸n y entusiasmo, por supuesto. Si logras repercusi贸n, te enfrentas a una carrera de fondo que muchos terminan abandonando por las demandas constantes de usuarios que, a menudo, no valoran el trabajo ni contribuyen de manera significativa. Por mencionar un caso reciente: Hector Martin. L铆der del proyecto Asahi Linux, quien dedic贸 a帽os a adaptar Linux para los procesadores Apple Silicon, un logro t茅cnico impresionante. Sin embargo, termin贸 renunciando debido a la presi贸n de usuarios que exig铆an soporte y mejoras como si fueran clientes pagos.
La mayor铆a de los mantenedores no reciben ning煤n soporte econ贸mico. Solo unos pocos proyectos logran sostenibilidad financiera a trav茅s de patrocinios, mientras que la mayor铆a de los desarrolladores terminan con un segundo empleo no remunerado.
Sin un cambio en la forma en que se valora y apoya los proyectos Opensource, y no solo hablo de las grandes empresas multimillonarias. Ser铆a una perdida para todos si acabaremos con un ecosistema de software archivado y abandonado.
Ahora te paso la pelota a ti, 驴cuando fue la 煤ltima vez que apoyaste a un mantenedor de software opensource?

I really like the proposal and your ideas. I have been reading your articles and several points seem very interesting to me.
