import functionality now works in the !weewiki zet #updates
some good initial progress with the !weewiki zettelkasten. messages can be made and tied to previous messages by providing partial UUIDs (that then get automatically expanded). basic export also works. #updates
Did some work on WKD handling. Can update keys with HKP posts :) Ugh need to work on docs and unit tests. Boooorrring.
can someone ELI5 how to set up hugo with drone CI? i tried the docs but i couldn’t get it to work. drop me an email or find me on irc. details on my website
Scuttlebutt is an interesting space. I’m using the Patchwork client and so far it works great!
@prologic@twtxt.net (#gqg3gea) ha yeah. COVID makes for a timey-wimey mish-mash. Worked on some WKD and fought with my XMPP client a bit.
@prologic@twtxt.net Yep! installed it yesterday. I like the simplicity of twt. I am quite happy with how little memory the pod seems to use. Mastodon and the “lightweight” Pleroma don’t work well in small VMs.
That way at least we can form some kind of cryptographic “identity” without having to involve the users that much, it just works™
i like some of the work that keys.pub is doing with ed25519 crypto keys with something like that.
@prologic@twtxt.net it is some interesting work to decentralize all the things.. tricky part is finding tooling. i am using a self hacked version of the go openpgp library. A tool to add and remove notations would need to be local since it needs your private key.
@prologic@twtxt.net this is a go version of Keyoxide.org that runs all server side. which is based on work from https://metacode.biz/openpgp/
OpenPGP has a part of the self signature reserved for notatinal data. which is basically a bunch of key/values.
this site tries to emulate the identity proofs of keybase but in a more decentralized/federation way.
my next steps are to have this project host WKD keys which is kinda like a self hosting of your pgp key that are also discoverable with http requests.
then to add a new notation for following other keys. where you can do a kind of web of trust.
I tend to withdraw from everything and just watch youtube and play whatever games i can get going on my old windows box after having to deal with shitty work being shitty. Maybe i can put the last week and a half behind me, finally
also lots of subtle death this chapter. Honeycutt’s friends are all dying of cancer. Primrose is scared of “ghosts of dead whalers” working out in the gym. This keeps the uncertain fate of her parents in the forefront, and also probably predicts the fate of the dying town.

I’m hoping to build a phasor-to-clock signal generator, which divides up a phasor into an arbitrary number of ticks. Using a global phasor as a global clock would allow for interesting polyrhythms, as well more flexible precision in sequencers. It’s also closer to how human-based conducting works. #halfbakedideas
@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t automate anything but I have sensors in every room to warn me if the humidity is too high and one in the fridge to warn if it’s too warm/cold via xmpp message. It’s working pretty well and was not expensive. I have fhem running on a raspberry pi which also serves other services.
do i keep working on this hugo site or play doom instead?
i just realized i have no idea how to tag/mention someone else on this thing. i tried but i don’t think it worked?
@prologic@twtxt.net (#https://twtxt.net/search?tag=tsvhqdq OK. Im upgrading my tools. twtxt works pretty well inside an Emacs shell window…
in the original twtxt your URL is your identity. No need for anyone outside your control to do account managment. One reason I’ll likely be sticking with command line. But, great work
@prologic@twtxt.net what is the exact syntax neeed for threads to work in the subject, e.g. will (#tsvhqdq) do it? The whole … (#tsvhqdq) thing seems like a bit of overkill. Too many characters.
@prologic@twtxt.net I will probably stick with command line client just to make sure it keeps working

Probably career suicidal (never admit it in your application) but honestly the thing I’ve found helps is just not caring about work at all. It’s like the equivalent to acceptance in grief. Get the day done, look forward to the weekend, when you book time off make sure to book the following Monday. I’ll do the job as best I can for as long as I’m paid but if you think I’m here for any reason other than money to pay the bills you’re completely delusional.

I have been away for a few days because work got intense
@prologic@twtxt.net So far it doesn’t mean much but being a member is a precondition to participate in the work teams. I want to join the editor team https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team and maybe also the commteam https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/CommTeam
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, busy with work and life. 😂 Also I got voted into the #XSF so probably I’ll be more busy with #XMPP im the future. How are you doing?
