Hello again @oevl ๐ Sorry for the inconvenience, it seems we have a bug or two that needs squishing! ๐\n\nI renamed your (_backed up_) feed so you haven't lost your content ๐ค
@lyxal People must really love their peas! ๐คฃ
@lyxal Wow! ๐ณ COVID-19 driven panic buying again?! ๐ค
@oevl We haven't published binaries for q while due to problems with our release process -- However if you are comfortable with Go then clone the repo jointwt/twtxt and build the CLI go build ./cmd/twt/...
, then twt -u https://twtxt.net login
.
@gmj Nice! ๐ I like it!
@oevl Hello! ๐ Welcome to Twtxt! ๐ค
@slashdot wut?! SUSE Linux is going public? ๐ณ Whatโs their business model?! ๐ค
whoโs cuter?!
or
? ๐ถ๐ท
@news This is what happens when you have race conditions in your code and resource leaks that caused this outage ๐ณ๐ท
NPS: (9+10+4.5+9+7) / 5 = 7.9
@birb-friend Cool! yeah right now all the data model only lets us edit or delete your last Twt and so far everyone is OK with that ๐
@antonio Yeah we watched a while ago I think but not on Disney
@deadguy @felixp7 To be honest I _think_ Email is a poor substitute for the Web-based Pull Request code review tooling we've gotten so used to. Gogs and Gitea have it, so I personally would just ust one of those. I run Gogs myself, so I'm not that worried. Question really is where will the community at large move to, or will it now be divided?
@felixp7 Yeah it's not hard to convince me really. I already have my own Git code hosting using Gogs -- The question is will my (_not so few_) contributors follow me and come along? ๐ค
@felixp7 Agreed. The diversity and inevitable splits are a bit of a downside to all this. The thing about things like Github is the community, it's a shame it had to be sold ๐ข
Isn;t this why it's every more important for us to self-host our own work, content and digital lives? ๐
@news Nothing conclusive, but I _believe_ after doing some analysis and running the codebase through the built-in race detector in Go I found a few bugs that trigger race conditions. Those have been fixed (_the ones I've found_). so hopefully this doesn't happen again ๐ค
@lucidiot @eli_oat there isnโt a character limit! If you use Twtxt.net and the POD software behind it itโs actually configurable but also supports longform blog posting as well ๐
@off_grid_living yeah thereโs something really wrong with your connection I think!
@slashdot Thatโs why Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TokTok, Mastodon, etc Are all broken social! \n\nTwtxt all the way! unmodified unfiltered uncensored no ads your content ๐
@github_blog oh very good Gothub! Just as I thought I was going to lose respect for the now Microsoft owned code hosting and social media platform they turn it all around and do the right thing.
@markwylde Haha so you wonโt be in the office tomorrow? ๐คฃ
@dilbert No such things as "multitasking" you pointy haired boss! ๐คฃ
@flairvelocity Good thank you! ๐ Bedtime for me though (_soon_) ๐ด Probably going to hack on this software (_you're using_) a bit more though... ๐
@markwylde This is the Golang OS I was talking about eggos and an Issue 2 where Iโm asking about the project.\n\nOne thing Iโd love to do is take the source code of this project and strip it down to its bear essentials. if I had a few spare weeks of spare time this is what I would do next ๐
Just what you want on a train... A guy on his phone with headphones talking to someone on the other end really loudly ๐ณ
@markwylde MeshBird is the very nice mesh networking thing I was talking about. Single binary. e2e encrypted and just works! ๐
@ionores Thanks! Yhis brings us to:\n\nNPS: 9+10+4.5+9/4=8.125
@off_grid_living How do you put these things together without a crane? I assume youโre doing this all on your own ๐ค
@felixp7 yeah weโve had it for a while now! Now we just need to turn it into one of those follow me badges ๐
@felixp7 what about the logo we already have?
@birb Ahh Can you elaborate on your score ?
๐ก Pro Tip: On the Twtxt.net Web App you can press CTRL+ENTER
to quickly post, Just type and end with ^ENTER
. ๐
@lyxal Does that mean you use the /mentions view a fair bit on the Web App? Or are you using the Mobile App (_Goryon_) more now?
@lyxal Very nice! So i'll keep a running tally here (_by hand_) of our Net Promoter Score (NPS) as we go along... ๐คฃ So far...\n\nNPS Score: 9.5
\n\n๐
Anyone know what this is that keeps opening up as a "blank tab" in Chrome on macOS? https://consent-st.trustarc.com/get?name=crossdomain.html&domain=oracle.com
? According to this reddit post this is happening for quite a few folks out there too (_not just me_).
Letโs try an experiment (itโs one of those bullshit marketing things called a NPS, or Net Promoter Score)\n\nOn a scale of 1-10 where 1 is โnot at allโ and 10 is โextremely likelyโ;\n\nWould you reccomend Twtxt.net or any other Twt.social pod to a friend or family member?
Check this cute pup out ๐ถ
@lyxal Hey! ๐ I love how active you are despite that we donโt support โPush Notificationsโ ๐คฃ\n\nWhatโs the plan for today ?
Soo @felixp7 Gof any good ideas for active promotion of Twtxt ? One of those โFolllow me on Twtโ badges? Link the pod youโre on on your blog or website ? ๐ค I also have cards you could print out and put up in your local area ๐
@lucidiot how do we fix some of these silly perceptions that many of us have already changed in our own clients? ๐ค
Added timeline
command to twt
(_the command-line client_) โ
Testing twt
the command-line client
Hey @rosaelefanten ๐ Nice to see you have a Twtxt feed! Saw your Tweet (_or at least I assume it was yours?_). Never heard of aria2c
till now! ๐คฃ TIL_
@felixp7 Interestinf view points ๐ Some of which I donโt agree with but thatโs okay ๐
@lyxal Ahh I see! That's kind of interesting actually. I have no idea how's Github's own "social algorithms" would have ever recommended one of my projects to you! ๐ณ But _somehow_ I'm glad it did ! ๐ค At the end of the day, and @felixp7 made mention of this in v7m47ga about Twtxt / Twt.social "losing steam", but it has not, its going along at the same pace as it ever has. We're just not going along "fast enough"โข ๐คฃ But OTOH I personally am very much against advertising for on other platforms that sell people out!
By rebranding I'm saying we may (_one day_) change the branding "Twtxt", "Twt" and "Twt.social. We'll see. Marketing is hard and certainly not my fortรฉ! I'm just an engineering trying to make a difference ๐ And build a _better_ social platform that actually respect people as "users" and not a product of advertisers!
@lyxal Imm? ๐ค What are you on about? ๐ณ
@news this has the upside of removing the last piece of personally identifiable information (PII) we store on user accounts, but a downside of if you forget what your email address is or lose access to your email then your account is forfeit!
But you know... These things take time, we built what we have today in only 3 months. Now we have to "market" it, "fund" it and keep going! We have even have to re-brand a few times.
@felixp7 Nope, it hasn't died down. We keep seeing the same numbers of new folks swing by, stick around, etc. It's been the same pace as it was been since we started this journey with Twt.social We _really_ haven't kicked it up a notch yet! Just one day at a time. 1-2 new users every day or so, and 1 active user say every week or so.
@lyxal Haha! Glad you like it! ๐ @dooven you have another happy customer ๐คฃ
@birb Give me and @agusandriputra a few hours and we can show you what it'll look like at least in the Web App. We're working on it ๐
This is a pretty cool full featured, fully open source and well maintained PaaS Flynn
@arnauld which version of the app do you have? we just rolled out settings you so you should be able to change there there if you have the latest version
@lyxal LOL yes ! You didnโt l know? Itโs called Goryon in both App and Play stores
@vain Not even a pair of headphones
@gmj In the past I also found csvkit a really good tool for dealing with CSV files.
@gmj But command-line is cool too! Which reminds me, I _want_ to do some more work on our own command-line too twt, I have plans to make it a dual-purpose client.
@lyxal Not much... Will do a bit of work this weekend on the platform though. Support for uploading video from the mobile app, remove the need to store emails on the backend and keep working on the messaging poc. You?
Sooo Chef InSpec is โokayโ but itโs a bit slow ๐ Probably because Ruby ๐
@akkartik That's _actually_ pretty cool! Not sure I have time for it, but cool nonetheless! ๐
@slashdot Wow! Just ๐ณ these guys have too much time on their hands ๐คฃ
@loupbrun Glad you like it ! Donโt forget to try the Mobile App too ๐
@deadguy Hmm Do you have a timeframe ? I can check my dashboards for any sign of โoutageโ
@deadguy Nope, not that I'm aware of. What's happening or not happening?
@markwylde Well you can do it, but its the same usual lm
tooling with Linux. Can I ask why you want to though? You can of course (_much more easily_) encrypt the VM Disks, especially if you use ZFS ๐
Why is a Car Manufacturer, "Rolls Royce"โข getting into energy and specifically building Nuclear Power plants? I don't get it?! ๐ค
@hellson says the man that hasnโt posted in weeks ๐ howโs it going?
@iolfree Sont quit Twtxt ๐ Join my pod at twtxt.net and enjoy all the same benefits on web, mobile. cli and api ๐
@vain Nice story and write up of OS/2 Warp 4 ๐
