The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@simon Nope. deploys are atomic.

By any chance did your previous thing include a service worker or some other local caching mechanic?

My silly old demo of how easily and readily a site could be deployed has morphed into a demo of how fiddly timezone data can now be provided for every user request with #Netlify Edge Functions

@cassiecodes Was this tweet written by some AI which was trying to create the most British thing ever?

Is the form for writing the content or for letting people subscribe, or something else?

@DavidDarnes @hankchizljaw @beep NICE. I confess I’d been noodling on similar ideas, but wanted to lazily just get my own house in order first.

I’d love to see this!

@beep @hankchizljaw

Hello hello! 👋

Hoping it's not too much of a jolt for you having drawn the curtain on your twitter account.

I'm assessing this move myself, and enjoying this fresh space while spending less and less time over there.

It's really rather refreshing so far!

Phil Hawksworth @philhawksworth • November 16th 2022 replying to this from @youknowjack

@youknowjack I'm taking the json file of my tweets, provided in the export, and cleaning it up a little to remove properties I'll not need. Which brings it down from ~50MB to ~8MB.

Then I'll use this is a data file in my site which is built with @eleventy, to generate a page for each, some pages listing them all, and a simple search that I'll build.

My site is set to get a `/notes` section to hold those and future social media postings.

Locally 26.5k pages build in ~4s at present

Phil Hawksworth @philhawksworth • November 16th 2022 replying to this from @hankchizljaw

@hankchizljaw Yeah I've been thinking that too.

I'm not settled yet on deleting my tweets such as @beep and others are doing. But once I've published my own, I'll at least pin a tweet which points to their new home, noting that the id numbers in the URL match.

In time I might delete all from twitter other that this one bit of guidance on where to find that missing tweet on that now broken URL

@jhey Yeah.

The data dump is there too, which is useful. But yes, the little site you get for exploring it is nice.

I wish the data made a note of tweets that you posted into a circle though. That's given me pause.

And it doesn't include bookmarks.

Mine took about 24 hours to arrive after requesting it.

@jhey You get a pretty nice artifact as it goes. All the data is in JSON (which I'll use to populate a section of my own site) and it has a little local site wrapper to let you explore.

@jhey I got you!

You want to create a Build Hook for your site in your Build & Deploy settings, and then call it each day with a scheduled function (using fetch to issue a POST request)

@hankchizljaw Ha!

I'm not comfortable with the long look in the mirror that deciding what my wheat-to-chaff ratio has been... but I've always wanted to retain my content on URLs, so I want to publish everything I've chosen to post publicly

If like me and many others, you're in the process of moving your tweets to a new home on your own site, a word of caution:

Tweets to twitter circles are not labelled as such in the export, so be aware of the risk of making public what you might have intended for a trusted group
