it’s really funny when people tag jimmy wales on twitter when they don’t like some of the content on wikipedia. it’s like someone would tag Nat Friedman when they find a bug in a program hosted there

It feels like every time I come across a Gemini capsule I find interesting, the owner suddenly stops posting and leaves the protocol. Maybe that’s a lesson for me: if I like their content, reach out to them and let them know.

@prologic@twtxt.net see where its used maybe that can help.

This is an upsert. So I pass a streamID which is like a globally unique id for the object. And then see how the type of the parameter in the function is used to infer the generic type. In the function it will create a new *Info and populate it from the datastore to pass to the function. The func will do its modifications and if it returns a nil error it will commit the changes.

The PA type contract ensures that the type fulfills the Aggregate interface and is a pointer to type at compile time.

tbh whenever someone is like “the existing arguments for agi xrisk were insufficient/unclear, here’s my better version” the arguments read exactly the same to me as the existing ones.

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess that refresh field could be easily replaced with Expires HTTP header (I realize that users on neocities.org cannot control this header, for example). And clients should also respect headers like Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since (304), you’re right about that. P.S. twtwt doens’t have a caching mechanism for now, but I plan to implement it in generic way using HTTP headers.

@prologic@twtxt.net: I understand the benefits of using hashes, it’s much easier to implement client applications (at the expense of ease of use without the proper client). I must say that I like the way the metadata extension is done. Simple and elegant! It’s hard to design simple things!

Snikket: F-Droid security update
Last week, Snikket Android users who installed the Snikket app via F-Droid
started receiving a warning that it contained a
security vulnerability. This wasn’t entirely accurate, as the problem wasn’t
with the Snikket app itself but specifically F-Droid’s own build of the app
that was using an outdated version of the WebRTC library.

Like many communication apps, Snikket uses WebRTC for audio and video calls.

Its a pretty neat idea for storing data along side the branches. I believe they don’t add a disconnected branch to avoid data getting corrupted by merging branches or something like that.

Just something to hide the ip when you ping like cloudflare does but not cloudflare. if there even is something like that

@prologic@twtxt.net
If there was something that could hide the ip from pings and searches like cloudflare but without cloudlfare that would be great.

it uses the queries you define for add/del/set/keys. which corrispond to something like INSERT INTO <table> (key, value) VALUES ($key, $value), DELETE ..., or UPDATE ...

the commands are issued by using the maddycli but not the running maddy daemon.
