@vain Ah nice reference! I was already wondering when I saw jenny appearing in my access log. :-)
Hah! 🤣 I secretly hope we do too 🤗

@vain Oh, neat! I'll have a closer look, when I get a moment. :-)

@vain Cool! I like the twt hash test suite. ;-) You could extend the feed fetch with ETag or If-Modified-Since headers.
@lyse Hmm, yeah, that could be worth a try. However: The program tends to be I/O bound because it has to check tens of thousands of local files (one for each twt). Not sure if optimising networking makes a big difference. Plus, it’s finished in 3-6 seconds anyway. 😊

@vain The benefit is _actually_ on remote feeds and their "server"(s). By using ETag and/or If-Modified-Since you reduce the potential for unwanted full fetches of remote feeds. (_something I've gotten in trouble with Evil_Bob myself and promptly fixed_). The other solution to this os to use Range requests (_something I plan to add to twtd at some point_)

@prologic Hmm. I never really thought this would matter. Most twtxt files are small and I only do a fetch about every 10 minutes. Retrieving a couple of JPEGs from people’s regular web sites is probably more costly. 🤔 Nevertheless, I’ll consider adding it. Thanks!
