Sometimes, we spend months stuck in inertia, distracted by screens and routine. So I'd like to give you a simple reminder: creating-in whatever form-is what makes you feel alive.
The beauty of working on projects is not in their βsuccessβ, but in the simple act of working on them. Whether it's writing, cooking, programming or redecorating the house: play with ideas without pressure, engage in an activity to test, fail and discover without judgement.
In the end, what remains is not a perfect product, but the satisfaction of completion and valuable lessons.
Find a project, no matter how small, and let it take you without expectations.

@prologic @eapl.me I want to highlight another social problem: People don't read. Paper industry is a bad moment because people don't pay for books; it does not matter if it is a physical or digital platform. I have this information because I have a good friend who left the industry after publishing a magazine, books and working in an editorial. DRM is a try to give some more money.

I have just received the royalties for the last book: 98 euros for the four-month period, about 24 euros a month on average. Not even enough for the gym membership.
If you have to keep some knowledge: don't write for money, the paper (or ebook) industry is in a very bad way, the margins for the author are very small and piracy is devastating.

Amazing! It is a good tool for reading feeds. What you used to calculate the hash?

@bender I taught the whole ecosystem π
@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! β€οΈπ

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 π. 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? π
