an interesting observation in a post twitter reality is how services that are sprouting up to claim some of the refugees are setting themselves up as closed gardens. without the option to federate with other services. like spoutable, counter.social, post, clubhouse and such.
twtxt, as I believe it was originally intended, are short little status updates – that’s it.
So, basically a .plan file for finger. But, on the web. like a *web*finger. We have come full circle on this loop!
We could ask them? But on the counter would bukket or jan6 follow the pure twtxt feeds? Probably not either way… We could use content negotiation as well. text/plain for basic and text/yarn for enhanced.
From my small experience in writing an event database, I am inclined to agree with this.
An option would be to have /twtxt.txt be the base functionality as bukket intended without subject tags, markdown, images and such truncated to 140 chars. a /yarn.txt that has all the extentions as we know and love. and maybe a /.well-known/webfinger + (TBD endpoint) that adds on the crypto enhancements that further extend things.
@darch@neotxt.dk I think having a way to layer on features so those who can support/desire them can. It would be best for the community to be able to layer on (or off) the features.
And to add close integration with salty/ratchet for realtime private chat
I’m not super a fan of using json. I feel we could still use text as the medium. Maybe a modified version to fix any weakness.
What if instead of signing each twt individually we generated a merkle tree using the twt hashes? Then a signature of the root hash. This would ensure the full stream of twts are intact with a minimal overhead. With the added bonus of helping clients identify missing twts when syncing/gossiping.
Have two endpoints. One as the webfinger to link profile details and avatar like you posted. And the signature for the merkleroot twt. And the other a pageable stream of twts. Or individual twts/merkle branch to incrementally access twt feeds.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci that is an ironic example. Since the inventor of the seatbelt gave rights to use the technology freely.
Very cool. I like the chain rules. I wonder how it performs against lextwt.
making a note here to check this out.
@chunkimo@twtxt.net lol. go walrus!!
So. Some bits.
i := fIndex(xs, 5.6)
Can also be
i := Index(xs, 5.6)
The compiler can infer the type automatically. Looks like you mention that later.
Also the infer is super smart.. You can define functions that take functions with generic types in the arguments. This can be useful for a generic value mapper for a repository
func Map[U,V any](rows []U, fn func(U) V) []V {
out := make([]V, len(rows))
for i := range rows { out = fn(rows[i]) }
return out
}
rows := []int{1,2,3}
out := Map(rows, func(v int) uint64 { return uint64(v) })
I am pretty sure the type parameters goes the other way with the type name first and constraint second.
func Foo[comparable T](xs T, s T) int
Should be
func Foo[T comparable](xs T, s T) int@prologic@twtxt.net I always liked bit.
I am disappointed that a GUI app would not at least have screenshots.
@prologic@twtxt.net it is from the generator. But in the actual go implementation methods are represented with a unsigned short. So 65k is the hard limit in go.
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club apparently someone that generates graphql endpoints for a biiiig app
@prologic@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net this description is applicable. As with PH.D so with this hyper focus.
Oof.
its not that you are dumb.. just that you are not hyperfocused into a very specific domain of knowledge.
Ratchet CLI now supports salty or ratchet comms!
@prologic@twtxt.net I get the worry of privacy. But I think there is some value in the data being collected. Do I think that Russ is up there scheming new ways to discover what packages you use in internal projects for targeting ads?? Probably not.
Go has always been driven by usage data. Look at modules. There was need for having repeatable builds so various package tool chains were made and evolved into what we have today. Generics took time and seeing pain points where they would provide value. They weren’t done just so it could be checked off on a box of features. Some languages seem to do that to the extreme.
Whenever changes are made to the language there are extensive searches across public modules for where the change might cause issues or could be improved with the change. The fs embed and strings.Cut come to mind.
I think its good that the language maintainers are using what metrics they have to guide where to focus time and energy. Some of the other languages could use it. So time and effort isn’t wasted in maintaining something that has little impact.
The economics of the “spying” are to improve the product and ecosystem. Is it “spying” when a municipality uses water usage metrics in neighborhoods to forecast need of new water projects? Or is it to discover your shower habits for nefarious reasons?
@prologic@twtxt.net short version: context is a linked list that is passed down a call stack that can share timeout, cancellation, or other data as needed by lower functions in the call stack.
@prologic@twtxt.net the rm -rf is basically what go clean -modcache does.
I think you can use another form that will remove just the deps for a specific module. go clean -r
it could have been some with running out of disk space for my twt cache.
probably some now that the free COVID loans that required staffing numbers are over the staffing is no longer needed.
Business pushing for recession. They all over hired during the pandemic to meet higher traffic levels and now those levels are dropping back to normal. absolutely bad resource planning all around.
interesting that in my pod this is showing in reply to something.. but in the twtxt is has no subject.
@prologic@twtxt.net The parse is correct. this seems to be something with the markdown render.

I remember when doing this process with my wife. During the halfway point we brought all sorts of documentation to show commingling of assets and showing we had “built a life together” .. we get to the interview and they just ask if we have a Costco card together. :|
good luck to you!
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci So.. The issue is that its showing the password by default? Would making an alias to always include the -c help? We can probably engage Jason with a PR to enable a more hardened approach when desired. I’ve spoken to him before and is generally a pretty open to ideas.
I found this app that was created by the gopass author that does copy by default and has a tui or GUI mode https://github.com/cortex/ripasso
@mckinley@twtxt.net i use pass along with the android and browser-pass clients. it is very good and keeping in sync is pretty simple.
@mckinley@twtxt.net very weird things going on for me.. i can see your twt but its not showing up as a reply or fork? 
i am curious why I only get 5 twts in yarn when they have several more on the feed. so something isnt parsing right.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci i have an old copy of the 2005 version from university if you want to give it a read through. its quite dry.
i have one box with virmach that is something like 3 vcpu 5.88g ram and 15g disk. for $29/year.

@prologic@twtxt.net yap. This was an offer message to you. rachet-over-yarn mode enabled!
@prologic@twtxt.net vultr pricing is low. But it can be lower if you shop the less fancy admin ui sites like virmarch or ovh. There are some bare metal that cost way less.. Though the experience is less than optimal.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci ISO 27001 is basically the same. It means that there is management sign off for a process to improve security is in place. Not that the system is secure. And ITIL is that managment signs off that problems and incidents should have processes defined.
Though its a good mess of words you can throw around while saying “management supports this so X needs to get done”

@prologic@twtxt.net that worked.. But took crazy long time
@prologic@twtxt.net I get this error when replying to yarns. 
@prologic@twtxt.net I have updated to kinda follow this. It now redirects to other webfingers if the resource has a different hostname. I’m still not sure what I should put multiple services with the same domain name. Like if they were to have conflicting properties.
it seems they are following the URN format of a URI where you just prefix things with colons.
urn:example:apple:pear:plum:cherry
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci see here in the okta docs: https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/webfinger/ they are adding a prefix to the acct
