(#tm3iwbq) using mutt to read twtxt sounds interesting, i’ll have to take a look at jenny. i’ve 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. i’m generating my own hashes now so at least I’ll 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, there’s 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.
i know i can’t keep living in this dead or dying dream..
no but linux containers aren’t secure. yeah, they’re administrative boundaries. a sandbox would be nice, but this isn’t 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. i’m sure nobody will steal your data.
(#nqpiaga) I’m a salvi chick that’s concerned with the future And if you’re in my way it’d 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
Corrupt cops false testimony at your arraignment Check to check, constant struggle to make the payments Working your whole life wondering where the day went The subway stays packed like a multicultural slave-ship It’s rush hour, 2: 30 to 8, non stoppin’ And people coming home after corporate sharecroppin And fuck flossin, mothers are trying to feed children But gentrification is kicking them out of their building A generation of babies born without health-care Families homeless, thrown the fuck off the welfare

(#m2rq7ma) @bender@twtxt.net to an extent, yes, because there’s not a ton of people on here to follow, but broadly I just follow based on vibes. I especially like to follow other queer people and communists.
when I say ‘functional programming’ you think ‘haskell’ and I think ‘BQN’
my workflow for posting images is awful XD
The plan is coming together. I am making friends and I’m doing the LA gay shit. I’m going outside, I’m getting laid. I’m like a real person. I have an old friend back in my life even.
(#ansuy4a) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I have a similar setup and I try to keep most of my systems static. My gemini server technically supports CGI, so I could do something with the follow_notify request other than log it potentially, but I’d be ok just getting the occasional query param on my feed url. I’m on the fence about server-side extensions in general. I kinda just want to be able to pull some data, push my updates onto a static file server, and be done with it.
(#mp6ox4a) @movq@www.uninformativ.de i don’t check my gemini logs very often tbh, but I’m not opposed to accepting follow_notify events.
at some point i will unfuck my mkfiles so i don’t have to do a full rebuild to properly regerate the indexes
this is a test
(#yqke7sq) I’ve been sketching out some gemini-specific offline social stuff here https://ix.cyb.red/wiki/pikabu, but for the online parts i’d be willing to adopt what tw.txt protocols work under the constraints of gemini
(#yqke7sq) @prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de my setup is pretty old-school tw.txt hosting-wise. just a text file and a very simple static bridge for pikkulog-style subscribers on gemini. i do try to keep up on the twtxt format spec so i’m publishing a modern and well-formed feed. my dual-hosted website/gemcapsule is meant to eventually be entirely bespoke (my friend wrote the gemini server i’m using, so that counts enough for now) and i’d like to eventually support some of the server extensions that yarn has piloted. follow-wise, rn i kinda just manually try to pick up on who is following me by browsing random feeds. my custom clients usually do a FoaF crawl, but i don’t have anything that really works running rn.
my whole life, i’ve been leaving things behind. venturing far away from everything that i know. these days, i’m trying to find connections that i can still rekindle, mend, and remember. this is much much harder than what i was used to

moving to a new town is lonely, i think i’m lonely. maybe that’s why things have been so hard..
the new post-quantum encryption algos have dope names CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, SPHINCS+, FALCON https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2023/08/nist-standardize-encryption-algorithms-can-resist-attack-quantum-computers
i’m over here thinking about how to get free internet to millions of people and keeping the system requirements as low as possible.
but everyone is talking about making a computer using scraps that can barely render a few lines of ACII and maybe some non-latin characters as images.
imo the only useful application would be so that I never have to get a new computer again unless mine breaks. i like being able to talk to people from around the world, so its going to have to include internet and video (y’all saw the impact tiktok had on the gaza situation, can’t deny that video is important)
what’s that point of permacomputing?
trying to be alive, part 2: in the city of angels
some day, you’ll be able to download nix-on-android from f-droid and nix run git+https://git.cyb.red/pkgs/free-internet.flake and join the no se vende mesh collective.. something like that
i’m excited about how the new system is coming together. i’ve chosen bento as the system admin runtime. the centralized model simplifies some things and encourages people to setup their own (if small) binary caches. the whole thing is federated in the end and i think we can find some ways to make an HA bento. co-ordinator nodes i think are important for making a stable network. a spare laptop can easily buffer some power, run a secondary radio, and have an ethernet hookup. even a phone can make a nice one.
tried out a demo vm setup of nixos, but i really want to level up my server game and provision the whole thing using terranix.
NDN is looking pretty neat https://docs.named-data.net/NLSR/current/INSTALL.html https://github.com/named-data/ndn-svs#installation
this is what i like to see https://gerbil.scheme.org/guide/nix.html
re: reticulum i might just make my own internet replacement protocol if i keep finding out that the extant ones have yellow snake flag people attached to them
honestly kinda hype about this one https://reticulum.network/manual/gettingstartedfast.html#sideband I think some concepts from named-data networking (andana and statevector sync in particular) and secure scuttlebutt (plumbtree) could help make it more robust, but I like the overall direction and architecture a lot. the multi-hop transmission design in particular 💋
biiiiig oof when it comes to compiling big things on my laptop. i’m gonna have to get a binary cache up and running pretty soon
i have successfully put a docker container inside of a nixos container, a turturken so to speak. next up, we get arion-compose working in there and then see about mem_limit and cpus!
(#tm726iq) @prologic@twtxt.net Fair enough! I just added some metadata.
(#mlq66zq) Thanks @prologic@twtxt.net! I like the way Yarn.social is making all of twtxt stronger, not just Yarn.social pods.
Does anyone care about the 140-char limit recommended by the #twtxt spec? I have been trying to respect it but wonder if it’s wasted effort.
I learned a #Toronto #hex club just started! I’ve played since ‘98 or ‘99, but rarely in person. https://www.hexwiki.net/index.php/Hex_clubs
