Dino: Stateless File Sharing: Base implementation
The last few weeks were quite busy for me, but there was also a lot of progress.
Iâm happy to say that the base of stateless file sharing is implemented and working.
Letâs explore some of the more interesting topics.
File hashes have some practical applications, such as file validation and duplication detection.
As such, they are part of the [metadata element](https://xmpp.org/extensio ⌠â Read more

I would recommend a longer rotation, perhaps? The way I see it, you are proposing a monthly one. That can make metadata huge too. Maybe yearly, or every 6 months?
No, it would be sufficient to skip avatar discovery when metadata does contain an avatar.
Itâs a new one in the instant messaging game :P https://getsession.org Itâs a fork of Signal and claims no metadata. I too have my chatting tools, but it doesnât prevent to check new stuff ^^

GitHub - jimkang/random-internet-archive: Gets a random Internet Archive resource, in URL form with some metadata. https://github.com/jimkang/random-internet-archive
@mdom@domgoergen.com metadata is there now. I was one commit behind.
@sdk@codevoid.de Great! Though i donât see any metadata on your feed?
@mdom@domgoergen.com Thatâs interesting. So does txtnish read that metadata? or would an end user just look at the file to see it? Is the meta data going to be the standard?
@mdom@domgoergen.com what metadata feature is that?
New feature for txtnish: After setting add_metadata to 1, txtnish will, uhm, add metadata to your twtfile. Currently i only add followings, client and your gpg fingerprint. See my file for an example.
The workflow app on iOS is magic. I now have a button that asks me to select a picture, then converts it to png, resizes it, strips the metadata, scps it to my jumphost, scps it further to my gopher jail and into my paste directory, constructs the http proxy URL and opens it in safari. All without user-interaction. Now I can share my mobile life with you guys! Prepare for cat pictures!
Metadata: Paper review. IPFS: Content addressed, versio⌠http://muratbuffalo.blogspot.com/2018/02/paper-review-ipfs-content-addressed.html
@reednj@twtxt.xyz I think this would be the first time two clients implement the same #metadata format.
Iâll take another swing at #metadata for #twtxt. You can check my feed for an example. The headers arenât important, only # key = value
Maybe we shouldnât add time sensitive metadata. Maybe # following = https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/mdom.txt https://enotty.dk/twtxt.txt âŚ
@kas@enotty.dk, @benaiah@benaiah.me Should metadata always be at the start of the file or can it be interspersed with tweets?
@mdom@domgoergen.com, @kas@enotty.dk re: metadata, Iâm (obviously) in favor of my suggestion for metadata-in-comments, but I donât think we should have comments in comments.
@kas@enotty.dk The amount of whitespace around the equal sign shouldnât matter. Wouldnât be a comment above the line not enough? <# nick = mdom # my nick> looks weird.
I would love to add metadata to the spec, but someone would have to hack it into twtxt #issue48 @buckket@buckket.org? :)
#txtnix and #roster now support the new metadata syntax ts#metadata. Now time will tell if somebody will use it.
This would be a good use case for metadata. @kas@enotty.dk could ask clients to refetch less, eg with /refetch 10m
#txtnix new subcommand will dump all available metadata for a feed. Until a decision is made it uses my // suggestion.
How should metadata about a twtxt feed be stored? Weigh in @ https://github.com/buckket/twtxt/issues/48
