(#rksyfja) (#<2024-09-24T12:39:32Z https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>) @prologic@twtxt.net It might be simple for you to run echo -e "\t\t" | sha256sum | base64, but for people who are not comfortable in a terminal and got their dev env set up, then that is magic, compared to the simplicity of just copy/pasting what you see in a textfile into another textfile ā Basically what @movq@www.uninformativ.de also said. Iām also on team extreme minimalism, otherwise we could just use mastodon etc. Replacing line-breaks with a tab would also make it easier to handwrite your twtxt. You donāt have to hardwrite it, but at least you should have the option to. Just as i do with all my HTML and CSS.
(#bz2mpca) (#<2024-09-24T12:34:31Z https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>) WebMentions does would work if we agreed to implement it correctly. I never figured out how yarndās WebMentions work, so I decide to make my own, which Iām the only one usingā¦
I had a look at WebSub, witch looks way more complex than WebMentions, and seem to need a lot more overhead. We donāt need near realtime. We just need a way to notify someone that someone they donāt know about mentioned or replied to their post.
Some more arguments for a local-based treading model over a content-based one:
The format: (#<DATE URL>) or (@<DATE URL>) both makes sense: # as prefix is for a hashtag like we allredy got with the (#twthash) and @ as prefix denotes that this is mention of a specific post in a feed, and not just the feed in general. Using either can make implementation easier, since most clients already got this kind of filtering.
Having something like (#<DATE URL>) will also make mentions via webmetions for twtxt easier to implement, since there is no need for looking up the #twthash. This will also make it possible to make 3th part twt-mentions services.
Supporting twt/webmentions will also increase discoverability as a way to know about both replies and feed mentions from feeds that you donāt follow.
(#s2dhlvq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I cases of these kind of āabuseā of social trust. Then I think people should just delete their replies, unfollow the troll and leave them to shouting in the void. This is a inter-social issue, not a technical issue. Anything can be spoofed. We are not building a banking app, we are just having conversation and if trust are broken then communication breaks down. These edge-cases are all very hypothetical and not something I think we need to solve with technology.
(#crmwgxq) Been thinking about it for the last couple of days and I would say we can make do with the shorter (#<DATETIME URL>)since it mirrors the twt-mention syntax and simply points to the OP as the topic identified by the time of posting it. Do we really need and (edit:...)and (delete:...) also?
(#2p5ulxq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I recognise him, but yes, he has aged quite a bit. I mean, I look at myself in the mirror and canāt, often, recognise myself. Ageing is a bitch! š
(#vq422aa) @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club I wanted to ask you, are you running Headscale and WireGuard on the same VPS? I want to test Headscale, but currently run a small container with WireGuard, and I wonder if I need to stop (and eventually get rid of) the container to get Headscale going. Did you use the provided .deb to install Headscale, or some other method?
(#xghlsva) @prologic@twtxt.net I read it. I understand it. Hopefully a solution can be agreed upon that solves the editing issue, whilst maintaining the cryptographic hash.
(#xghlsva) @prologic@twtxt.net I know the role of the current hash is to allow referencing (replies and, thus, threads), and it also represents a āuniqueā way to verify a twtxt hasnāt been tampered with. Is that second so important, if we are trying to allow edits? I know if feels good to be able to verify, but in reality, how often one does it?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de could it be possible to have compressed_subject(msg_singlelined) be configurable, so only a certain number of characters get displayed, ending on ellipses? Right now the entire twtxt is crammed into the Subject:. This request aims to make twtxts display on mutt/neomutt, etc. more like emails do.
(#3f36byq) @prologic@twtxt.net I donāt trust Google with anything, sorry, pass. Oh, and you need to sign in on your Google Account (or whatever they call it these days).
(#xghlsva) @prologic@twtxt.net how about hashing a combination of nick/timestamp, or url/timestamp only, and not the twtxt content? On edit those will not change, so no breaking of threads. I know, I know, just adding noise here. :-P
(#qgv3waq) @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club there has to be less reliance on a single point of failure. It is not so much about creating jobs in the US (which come with it, anyway), but about the ability to produce whatās needed at home too. Whatās the trade off? Is it going to be a little bit more expensive to manufacture, perhaps?
(#kdtce4q) @prologic@twtxt.net :-D Thanks! Things can come in cycles, right? This is simply another one. Another cycle, more personal than the other āalter egosā.
Incredibly upsetāmore than you could imagineābecause I already made the first mistake, and corrected it (but twtxt.net got it on itās cache, ugh!) :ā-( . Canāt wait for editing to become a reality!
Alright. My first mentionsāwhich were picked not so randomly, LOLāare @prologic@twtxt.net, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org, and @movq@www.uninformativ.de. I am also posting my first image too, which you see below. Thatās my neighbourhood, in a āwinterā day. Hopefully @prologic@twtxt.net will add my domain to his allowed list, so that the image (and any other further) renders.
(#kikq2xa) Alright, announce_me set to true. Now, who do I pick to be my first mention? Decisions, decisions. Next twtxt will have my first mention(s). :-)
I have configured my twtxt.txt as simple as possible. I have setup a publish_command on jenny. Hopefully all works fine, and I am good to go. Next will be setting the announce_me to true. Here we go!
(#qawz75q) i have an old laptop that should work OK as a coordination node and a couple of bitscope quattros that will work nice as a little compute array once I figure out how to manage them using netboot.
(#qawz75q) may as well accept that the big machine will be offline often during the new heatwave season. weāre already planning to move the environmental controls to a home assistant yellow so the zigbee integration and control system can live in the same device.
running grey until after dark, itāll be around 40C until tuesday in the daytime so I canāt really run the main server while Iām sat in my office. iāll have some pine quartz blades or my quattro arrays up some day to handle the lower power stuff so running grey doesnāt mean the whole system is offline.
Some of the individuals and organizations consulted by LAC argued against releasing any of the information, warning it could be embarrassing or lead to prosecutions of the alleged war criminals.
the limitless babying of literal fucking nazis is getting really fucking old.
(#agpuufq) Cold war mentality is thinking one side is the absolute good and the other the absolute evil. Cold war mentality froze thousands of peopleās from fighting for themselves for fear of being accused of communism or, on the other side of the iron wall, of falling for the American imperialist agenda. Cold war mentality is a prison our rulers create to make us hate their enemies, creating a division between fellow proles and unity with our masters.
When we say āno war but class warā, we mean that weāll never raise a rifle against āthe evil hordesā of the other side, since we know those āhordesā are made of people just like us, proles. When we say āno war but class warā we understand that our rulers are as evil as the tyrant on the other side. That the crimes of one mirror the crimes of the other, that the elites, in their need to rule the world, know no boundaries to their cruelty. And that makes them equal.
(#tm3iwbq) using mutt to read twtxt sounds interesting, iāll have to take a look at jenny. iāve tried to get into console email a number of times in the past and keep bouncing off. at least to learn some of how it works so i can make my own oddball version ^^
(#6mdqxrq) also apologies for the confusion, I probably did edit this entry at some point. I try not to do that too much, but sometimes I forget or dgaf. iām generating my own hashes now so at least Iāll be notified if I break my own threads/forks/&c.
(#6mdqxrq) @prologic@twtxt.net the central format for the whole thing is gempub https://codeberg.org/oppenlab/gempub (comparable to epub, using gemtext instead of html). you only need to be online to download zines, so once your queue is up to date you can disconnect to read or work on your own zine. the zine-centric publishing format is meant to encourage long-form content including art and other more time-consuming works. the server protocol is almost entirely a sketch, thereās just not that much more to say about the actual zine format. in its simplest form, you just zip your gem capsule and its done.
no but linux containers arenāt secure. yeah, theyāre administrative boundaries. a sandbox would be nice, but this isnāt Sun. we have fallen from grace. tape the box closed with AppArmor if you need to and flip the exact 11 switches that apply for your impending scenario. iām sure nobody will steal your data.
(#nqpiaga) Iām a salvi chick thatās concerned with the future And if youāre in my way itād be an honor to shoot ya Uproot ya with the evil that grows in my people Making them deceitful, cannibalistic and lethal But I see through the mentality implanted in us And I educate my fam about who we should trust
