Today my father would have been 90 years old. I miss him very much. He passed away in 2020, it was so hard for the family not being able to have a proper wake.
Update: I should concentrate on the good memories!

Just flip it left to right
Hmmm ... that's not so straight forward in Elpher. Refresh seems to throw me back to a previously cached page. Nevertheless a nice idea, this chat!

Not in the mood to deal with reality today, so here’s another one of those silly things: https://movq.de/v/68c61f8ecc/r2_session.ogg This time on electric bass, tuned down to B-standard because oomph. (Well, sounds okay on my headphones, but I’m obviously no sound engineer. 🤪)

@eapl.me According to an update of the article, others have suggested the same.
Your explanation seems fitting. I just don't get why people don't use feed readers anymore. Anyway.

@lyse Luckily, yeah. Happens every now and then. It’s usually not even worth reporting, they often fix it in 30-90 minutes anyway.

@xuu Yeah, it will be delayed. Oh well. That's just the way it is. :-)
@movq Hahaha, that filename! :-D 100 times better than I could ever play.
thanks? 😆
Now I need the non-hacker friends 🥲
@xuu If the unread counter becomes negative, wouldn't that mean I have that many more read messages? :-D
@bender You're spot on, it's important to not introduce classical bugs!
@movq Oh dear. :-( Have they fixed it?
@prologic @movq I had a t-shirt with this one or the other decade ago. :-)

> Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds.
I'd like to change that. It's by nerds/hackers, for nerds/hackers and friends of these. It doesn't have to be hacky all the time, as you don't need to be a nerd to have a blog.
But, for that to happen, someone has to build the tools to improve UX.
> by design there really is no way to easily discovers others
Yeah, I agree, and although there are directories of email addresses, usually you don't want that, unless you are a 'public figure'.
I couldn't say that a microblogging is a "social network" by default, as a blog is not either. At the same time, people would expect to find new people and conversations, as you'd do in a forum.
I think of two features on top of the current spec:
- Clients showing a few posts of what your following are watching but you don't, so perhaps you find something interesting to follow next. Or that feature of "Your 'followings' are following these accounts/people". (Hard to explain in english, but I hope you get the idea)
- Sharing your .txt into some directory, saying "Hey, I have this twtxt URL, I want to be discovered". I'm thinking of something like the Federated tab on Mastodon.
thanks andros!
> instead of adding the new twt at the end of the feed, do it at the beginning
The PHP client did that originally, although I didn't see a real benefit if you use... a client.
It could help if you read the .txt file through a browser or something. Also, not many clients are prepared to cut the request, and you can't rely on the file being organized that way, so finally we dropped that feature.

I guess that’s a sign.

@bender I gave up after page 4 (DuckDuckGo) 🤣
@bender I tend to think of Twtxt like Email. It is _truely_ decentralised. So therefore by design there really is no way to easily discovers others except through social interactions and a sort of "word of mouth" of human exchanges of communications.
@andros and how will that help "discover people"? I am missing something, I am sure, as I don't understand.
Twtxt was made for nerds, by nerds. So one would script a way to often (and/or ongoing) check your web server logs for new mentions, "follows", etc.
@doesnm why? The Gemini protocol is an obscure, niche, good-for-nothing (yeah, I am trolling) protocol. Search for "Gemini", and tell me in which page, on your search engine of choice, you see it being referred as a protocol.
Ich habe schon gar nicht mehr so richtig dran geglaubt, aber wirres.net von @ix ist wieder da! Ein Blog, dass mich schon mein gesamtes Blogleben lang begleitet.

@bender thinked about Gemini protocol. Why corporations shit this name with cryptocurrency and LLMs?
@xuu like feeds+bridgy.fed? Will be happy anyway
@bender I taught the whole ecosystem 😁
@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.

@xuu no disagreements from me!

I'm not much a fan of registry limit/offset paging. I think I prefer the cursor/count method. And starting at zero for first and max for latest.
@doesnm haha its not coming back. he talked of a stand alone thing like feeds. but not in yarnd
@xuu it is called “reaffirmation”. It is a lesser known feature that activates randomly to make sure you get the gist on things that matter. 😅
2 is a great idea, you should suggest it in that blog post.
About 1, well, I think anyone has an email address and only about 5% use a Feed, so it makes sense to offer what most people use 🤔
Good enening gopher gang. Whats 1 good thing that happened today?

hmm @prologic how did replying to lyse double up here?
if it hasn't updated in a while so i put the request rate to once a week it will take some time before i see an update if it happens today.
I need to figure out a way to back off requests to feeds that don't update often.
