@prologic whoa
@prologic hey, nice!

I'm watching that he uses a twtxt format with the newest twts at the start of the txt file.
Besides being easier to read for a human and 'harder' to write for a script, does it have any benefit you've seen?
@eaplmx No, no benefit whatsoever. And yes it is harder to write a feed like this programmatically -- its likely generated on the fly I'd suspect? Not sure, also all of his mentions are basically invalid πŸ˜‚ @xuu and I _think_ this is some mirroring thingy and not a real feed per se... ? πŸ€” Anyway still cool πŸ‘Œ

@prologic The initial commit of buckket/twtxt on GitHub was in 2016, so I call BS. https://github.com/buckket/twtxt/commit/d5c9e1da0b9fa6a23f0f33e06d96fd90a242e6e1
@mckinley I call BS too πŸ˜… -- Any _ideas_ on how he his Twts this old in his so-called feed? πŸ€”

@prologic obviously he was using curl and not buccket 😝
@prologic My best guess is that he imported the old messages from another microblogging service. That would explain the invalid mentions.
@prologic hmm, there are older twts:

2007-03-02T12:19:38.000Z\tΠ§Π΅Ρ‚Π° си RSS feed-ΠΎΠ²Π΅Ρ‚Π΅

looks to be the oldest.
Sorry I should have clarified, the oldest I could read in English πŸ˜…
