(#ftss7fa) @bender@twtxt.net Twtxt <-> ActivityPub (2nd time’s the charm? 🤣)

Testing new design, architecture and implementation of a Twtxt bridge I’m working on…

verification-token: ee9bc4da3356f4990671

Please ignore.

(#dnzwh6a) Reacher out to Mike on BlueSky.

whoo fix a long stnading bug with identicons for feeds with no avatar in their metadata

Hint:

# nick = ...
# avatar = ...

(#kf2fo5q) @bender@twtxt.net Just wrote better code with tests 🤣

(#kf2fo5q) Fixed

Hmmm all these tilde.club feeds have no # nick and is messing with yarnd’s behavior 😅

(#bwrwbdq) I spent a few mins on teh tilde website, and for the life of me I can’t find a way to contact anyone responsible/accountable for this wonderful little service 🤣

(#bwrwbdq) Is it worth me reaching out to the operator and helping build some solution for their userbase to detect followers? 🧐

(#7tpv2na) I have now permitted the following media types:

image/*
audio/*
video/*
text/*

(#7tpv2na) Done ✅ Will be available on this pod as soon as the publish workflow finished successfully.

(#7tpv2na) @bender@twtxt.net yeah it wasn’t so much of a browser thing, more of a security/abuse thing. If you upload large media, we downsize/downscale it, etc.

(#7tpv2na) @bender@twtxt.net The only problem with uploading is the procesing. Do you expect any server-side processing of the WebP or just store and host?

(#7tpv2na) @bender@twtxt.net That we can do easily. Just supporting tendering .webp inline eight? 🧐

(#bfi7ika) This ☝️

Thank you for the encouragement and love and kind words, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt and others along the way I’m not sure of their feed uris 💕 I’ll keep at it, but for the time being I will keep my distance, mostly off IRC, because I don’t have the energy to spare in that kind of engagement (what//if the worst happens, it’s so draining). I need to remember what I ever did any of this for, it was back in ~2020 and I wanted really to build small interconnected communities that any non “tech savvy” person (more or less) could also benefit from ane enjoy. Even if there are aspects of the specs we’ve built/extended over time that aren’t “perfect”™, they’re “good enough”™ that they’ve last 5+ years (I believe this is 6 years running now). I want to spend a bit of time going back to why I did any of this in the the first place, and get a little micro-SaaS offering going (barely covering running costs) so encourage more folks to run pods, and thus twtxt feeds and grow the community ever so slightly. Other than that, I plan to get the specs “in order” to a point (with @movq@www.uninformativ.de and @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org’s help) where I hope they’ll stand the test of time – like SMTP.

Thank you all ! 🙏

PR to clean up some unwanted specs and cleanup some invalid/bad references. 🙏

(#zxchmeq) Shall we call it a good DR exercise? 🤔 😅

(#zxchmeq) @bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣

I am sorry folks 😞

(#5dyjtqa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah ! 👍 I’m trying to build my first micro-SaaS and get more lay-people to protect their own inboxes and identify 🤣 – Hopefully it all works out 💪

I just successfully used my own SnipMail service with a real business, whoohoo! 🥳

(#vzc3qtq) @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club I’ll make a release this weekend (today)

(#vzc3qtq) Also welcome back 😆

(#vzc3qtq) @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club What version are you running btw? It’s probably time you upgraded and time I released a new version finally 😂 If you’re running a version that’s pre-SQLite-cache, then yeah I’m not surprised. The SQLite cache version is honestly much better 🤣

(#oa65m7q) Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I’m going to bed, but I’ll have a closer read/think tomorrow 🤞

(#oa65m7q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s formatted just fine 🤟

(#dmis2va) @bender@twtxt.net We could – It’s just never became “strong enough”™ of a demand that I ever extended the possibility of supporting other mime types.

(#wmnfghq) @bender@twtxt.net Same I only have one registrar too (OnlyDomains).

(#wmnfghq) @bender@twtxt.net It’s not even available on my registrar anyway 🤣

(#wmnfghq) @bender@twtxt.net Makes me wonder whether somethingarather.zip is a good primary domain for the service I’m building? 🤔

(#wmnfghq) @bender@twtxt.net I think that’s where it sends the capture verification requests. It’s based on PoW, so it has to perform validation somehow. It actually looks pretty decent as far as a way to prevent spam/abuse of forms on the open web (e.g: Waitlist on SnipMail).

Thoughts/Opinions on Cap 🤔

The modern, open-source CAPTCHA

Lightweight, self-hosted, privacy-friendly, and designed to put you first. Switch from reCAPTCHA in minutes.

(#f4xwmia) You do raise very good points though, but I don’t think any of this is particularly new because there are many other examples of technology and evolution of change over time where people have forgotten certain skills like for example, changing a car tyre

(#f4xwmia) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I am genuinely curious as to why you think Geminis summarization and the categorization of your gopher post was and is as you say misunderstood?

I asked this very genuinely because before reading @bender@twtxt.net’s comments and Gemini summarization I actually went and unplugged your post into flood gaps go for proxy, and then listen to the text intently with my own human ears 👂

(#34cy36q) What is this about? I don’t run my Gopher proxy anymore 😅

(#5i5mhvq) Hmm anyone got a contact detail for Andrew? @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club – The emails/contacts I have have all bounced 😭

(#tfdxx6q) @bender@twtxt.net Hmm anyone got a contact detail for Andrew? @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club – The emails/contacts I have have all bounced 😭

(#5i5mhvq) @aelaraji@aelaraji.com I’ll poke @eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club

(#tddzt4a) Ping me if you’re intersted!

I’m building a service that lets you:

create and manage disposable, brandable email aliases so you can track leaks, forward important messages, and keep your real inbox clean.

I’ve just finishing building it for the most part, and have cut a v0.1.0 release. It’s currently closed source (to be decided later) and now open to beta testers. cc @bender@twtxt.net 🙏 I fully intend to monetize and offer this as a paid service in teh coming weeks/months, but beta/invite-only testers and early adopters/users first 🤟

(#z2diwfa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de What did you say? 🤔
