I'll be migrating my twtxt Web client from `twtxt-php` to `timeline`
https://eapl.me/twtxt_timeline/?profile=https://eapl.me/twtxt.txt
The idea is to move back to /twtxt/ when the migration is finished (and I'm able to read and publish from there)
I think a better looking web would be helpful to bring more people, even when the old black view is functional and hacky...

yeah, when I want to listen to my coding music or something in my playslists I prefer to do it offline with a phone connected to a phone connected to a Bluetooth speaker 📱 🔊 .
For fresh music YouTube from my phone or PC works fine.

Also I started to design a Secret Santa Web although my family solved that with cut papers and a neutral person not joining the raffle. Perhaps I use that Web in the local Geek meet-up.

I agree. It's more organic to make the connection by another channel. On using the web server logs, I think that isn't easy to integrate, and it's also prone to spam.
Webmentions sounds good to not reinvent the wheel.
Perhaps the Endpoint should be indicated inside the .txt instead of the HTML.
Anyway, I'll take a look into adding Webmentions support in the PHP client soon.

I've been reading "Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internet" learning of games developed before I was born, or when was too small.
I'm finding old gems to play and understanding that we have the same problems developing games 30+ years after, although with some obvious differences.
Currently playing:

Which reminds me of another Tetris I don't know how it came to my PC in the 90s.

I've been thinking of how to notify someone else that you've replied to their twts.
Is there something already developed, for example on yarn.social?
Let's say I want to notify https://sour.is/tiktok/America/Denver.txt that I've replied to some twt. They don't follow me back, so they won't see my reply.
I would send my URL to, could be, https://sour.is/tiktok/replies?url=MY_URL and they'll check that I have a reply to some of their twts, and could decide to follow me back (after seeing my twtxt profile to avoid spam)
Another option could be having a metadata like
follow-request=https://sour.is/tiktok/America/Denver.txt TIMESTAMP_IN_SECONDS
that the other client has to look for, to ensure that the request comes from that URL (again, to avoid spam)
This could be deleted after the other .txt has your URL in the follow list, or auto-expire after X days to clean-up old requests.
What do you think?

My bookmark list is growing more and more (currently 600+ links)
https://eapl.me/links/all_links.php
Whilst there are some gems, there are also links I haven't read, and perhaps never will.
I'm thinking of having some way of fade away them over time, and if I don't do anything with a link in, let's say, a year, it will vanish forever.
Something similar I do with contacts. If I don't talk with someone for more than I year, why do I have them in my list?

I've found that my ISP replaces HTTP sites with a "You haven't paid your bill" message. With HTTPS it only gives an error that the site is not accessible.
There's a similar behaviour in public places like airports ✈, or even some have malicious forms. I'm not sure if it's a general issue anymore.
Also,even on HTTPS some extensions inject scripts or hidden fields.

hey @mckinley !
Perhaps your VPN or an extension is injecting some kind of verification before using the site?
The original development doesn't use JavaScript at all, and has 2 cookies for session managing, short term for guests and long term for the admin (perhaps that has to be changed with current European regulations, not sure)
@darch you could add HTTPS to your site to avoid external services injecting JS to the HTML. I bought a SSL certificate for my shared hosting, sadly it doesn't support Let's Encrypt.
But if an extension is doing that, I think there is not much to do from our side.

I like 7, and in my town the sun rises at about 7am, but makes more sense from 6 to 6!
On having noon at 12pm I'll research on that... Interesting point!

another crazy experiment would be that the sunset starts at 7am, but the time is slowed down or made running faster so it's always 7pm at the sunset.
In July here we have 14 hours of daylight, and only 10:21 in December. So the idea would be to adjust working days or whatever, proportional to the amount of natural light we have in that month. Just thinking...

Due to the Daylight Saving Time, I recall a quick clock I made where it adjust daily so sunrise is at 7am in your place.

Luckily in my country DST is no more, although it could be good and boring to always wake up with the same position of the sun.
After work I should write about this experimental (and unfeasible?) clock 🤔

since last year in MX we don't have DST, and has been a bliss.
I'd advise to push that to your Congress (or equivalent), companies and universities, using the force of the group. That helped here.

I've been studying French, and recently Memrise offers a chat bot that speaks out the texts and corrects your mistakes... Feels weird, since it replies random things and you don't know how to answer. Although is useful.

Y claro, cuando algo es gratuito, hay costos ocultos, como la privacidad de tus datos.
También la piratería es un tema moral bastante complejo. Para algunos no hay daño en descargar y copiar sin límite. Para otros, se desincentiva, además de ser ilegal.
Con todo eso, no podemos descartar que en algunos países, como los latinoamericanos, es la primera opción de consumo. Más con los temas de impunidad legal.

mi reflexión va hacia la percepción de que "Todo en internet es gratuito" incluyendo el hosting, mantenimientos y tiempo de las personas.
Y si no es gratuito, es muy fácil elegir el camino "pirata" que tiene bajas fricciones más que los temas legales.
Se habló un poco en la serie sobre Spotify. Competir pagando por algo que es muy fácil de acceder gratis, con anuncios, etc. es retador.

Probé el plan de 5 USD/mes de Kagi.
Debo decir que sí está interesante, aunque en 20 días me terminé las 300 búsquedas.
Lo ideal sería tener el plan ilimitado de 10 USD. La verdad es difícil competir contra los numerosos competidores gratuitos, que respetan privacidad. El valor percibido de un servicio de búsqueda, aunque lo usemos decenas de veces al día, se siente muy bajo.
Ahora ando usando https://priv.au una de las múltiples instancias de https://searx.space
Como es frecuente, son instancias ofrecidas por voluntarios, que pueden desaparecer en cualquier momento.
