@prologic@twtxt.net That was exactly my thought at first too. but what do we put as the rel for salty account? since it is decentralized we dont have a set URL for machines to key off. so for example take the standard response from okta:
# http GET https://example.okta.com/.well-known/webfinger resource==acct:bob
{
"links": [
{
"href": "https://example.okta.com/sso/idps/OKTA?login_hint=bob#",
"properties": {
"okta:idp:type": "OKTA"
},
"rel": "http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer",
"titles": {
"und": "example"
}
}
],
"subject": "acct:bob"
}
It gives one link that follows the OpenID login. So the details are specific to the subject acct:bob.
Mastodons response:
{
"subject": "acct:xuu@chaos.social",
"aliases": [
"https://chaos.social/@xuu",
"https://chaos.social/users/xuu"
],
"links": [

"type": "application/activity+json",
"href": "https://chaos.social/users/xuu"
},
{
"rel": "http://ostatus.org/schema/1.0/subscribe"

]
}
it supplies a profile page and a self which are both specific to that account.

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.
one that i think is pretty interesting is building up dependent constraints. see here.. it accepts a type but requires the use of a pointer to type.

$name$ and then dispatch the hashing or checking to its specific format.
Hold up now, that example hash doesn’t have a
$prefix!
Well for this there is the option for a hash type to set itself as a fall through if a matching hash doesn’t exist. This is good for legacy password types that don’t follow the convention.
func (p *plainPasswd) ApplyPasswd(passwd *passwd.Passwd) {
passwd.Register("plain", p)
passwd.SetFallthrough(p)
}
https://github.com/sour-is/go-passwd/blob/main/passwd_test.go#L28-L31
$name$ and then dispatch the hashing or checking to its specific format.
Here is an example of usage:
func Example() {
pass := "my_pass"
hash := "my_pass"
pwd := passwd.New(
&unix.MD5{}, // first is preferred type.
&plainPasswd{},
)
_, err := pwd.Passwd(pass, hash)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("fail: ", err)
}
// Check if we want to update.
if !pwd.IsPreferred(hash) {
newHash, err := pwd.Passwd(pass, "")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("fail: ", err)
}
fmt.Println("new hash:", newHash)
}
// Output:
// new hash: $1$81ed91e1131a3a5a50d8a68e8ef85fa0
}
This shows how one would set a preferred hashing type and if the current version of ones password is not the preferred type updates it to enhance the security of the hashed password when someone logs in.
https://github.com/sour-is/go-passwd/blob/main/passwd_test.go#L33-L59
I made a thing. Its a multi password type checker. Using the PHC string format we can identify a password hashing format from the prefix $name$ and then dispatch the hashing or checking to its specific format.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Its not better than a Cat5e. I have had two versions of the device. The old ones were only 200Mbps i didn’t have the MAC issue but its like using an old 10baseT. The newer model can support 1Gbps on each port for a total bandwidth of 2Gbps.. i typically would see 400-500Mbps from my Wifi6 router. I am not sure if it was some type of internal timeout or being confused by switching between different wifi access points and seeing the mac on different sides.
Right now I have my wifi connected directly with a cat6e this gets me just under my providers 1.3G downlink. the only thing faster is plugging in directly.
MoCA is a good option, they have 2.5G models in the same price range as the 1G Powerline models BUT, only if you have the coax in wall already.. which puts you in the same spot if you don’t. You are for sure going to have an outlet in every room of the house by code.

@prologic@twtxt.net correct type parameters. 😅
(cont.)
Just to give some context on some of the components around the code structure.. I wrote this up around an earlier version of aggregate code. This generic bit simplifies things by removing the need of the Crud functions for each aggregate.
Domain ObjectsA domain object can be used as an aggregate by adding the event.AggregateRoot struct and finish implementing event.Aggregate. The AggregateRoot implements logic for adding events after they are either Raised by a command or Appended by the eventstore Load or service ApplyFn methods. It also tracks the uncommitted events that are saved using the eventstore Save method.
type User struct {
Identity string ```json:"identity"`
CreatedAt time.Time
event.AggregateRoot
}
// StreamID for the aggregate when stored or loaded from ES.
func (a *User) StreamID() string {
return "user-" + a.Identity
}
// ApplyEvent to the aggregate state.
func (a *User) ApplyEvent(lis ...event.Event) {
for _, e := range lis {
switch e := e.(type) {
case *UserCreated:
a.Identity = e.Identity
a.CreatedAt = e.EventMeta().CreatedDate
/* ... */
}
}
}
Events
Events are applied to the aggregate. They are defined by adding the event.Meta and implementing the getter/setters for event.Event
type UserCreated struct {
eventMeta event.Meta
Identity string
}
func (c *UserCreated) EventMeta() (m event.Meta) {
if c != nil {
m = c.eventMeta
}
return m
}
func (c *UserCreated) SetEventMeta(m event.Meta) {
if c != nil {
c.eventMeta = m
}
}
Reading Events from EventStore
With a domain object that implements the event.Aggregate the event store client can load events and apply them using the Load(ctx, agg) method.
// GetUser populates an user from event store.
func (rw *User) GetUser(ctx context.Context, userID string) (*domain.User, error) {
user := &domain.User{Identity: userID}
err := rw.es.Load(ctx, user)
if err != nil {
if err != nil {
if errors.Is(err, eventstore.ErrStreamNotFound) {
return user, ErrNotFound
}
return user, err
}
return nil, err
}
return user, err
}
OnX Commands
An OnX command will validate the state of the domain object can have the command performed on it. If it can be applied it raises the event using event.Raise() Otherwise it returns an error.
// OnCreate raises an UserCreated event to create the user.
// Note: The handler will check that the user does not already exsist.
func (a *User) OnCreate(identity string) error {
event.Raise(a, &UserCreated{Identity: identity})
return nil
}
// OnScored will attempt to score a task.
// If the task is not in a Created state it will fail.
func (a *Task) OnScored(taskID string, score int64, attributes Attributes) error {
if a.State != TaskStateCreated {
return fmt.Errorf("task expected created, got %s", a.State)
}
event.Raise(a, &TaskScored{TaskID: taskID, Attributes: attributes, Score: score})
return nil
}
Crud Operations for OnX Commands
The following functions in the aggregate service can be used to perform creation and updating of aggregates. The Update function will ensure the aggregate exists, where the Create is intended for non-existent aggregates. These can probably be combined into one function.
// Create is used when the stream does not yet exist.
func (rw *User) Create(
ctx context.Context,
identity string,
fn func(*domain.User) error,
) (*domain.User, error) {
session, err := rw.GetUser(ctx, identity)
if err != nil && !errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound) {
return nil, err
}
if err = fn(session); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
_, err = rw.es.Save(ctx, session)
return session, err
}
// Update is used when the stream already exists.
func (rw *User) Update(
ctx context.Context,
identity string,
fn func(*domain.User) error,
) (*domain.User, error) {
session, err := rw.GetUser(ctx, identity)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
if err = fn(session); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
_, err = rw.es.Save(ctx, session)
return session, err
}
Progress! so i have moved into working on aggregates. Which are a grouping of events that replayed on an object set the current state of the object. I came up with this little bit of generic wonder.
type PA[T any] interface {
event.Aggregate
*T
}
// Create uses fn to create a new aggregate and store in db.
func Create[A any, T PA[A]](ctx context.Context, es *EventStore, streamID string, fn func(context.Context, T) error) (agg T, err error) {
ctx, span := logz.Span(ctx)
defer span.End()
agg = new(A)
agg.SetStreamID(streamID)
if err = es.Load(ctx, agg); err != nil {
return
}
if err = event.NotExists(agg); err != nil {
return
}
if err = fn(ctx, agg); err != nil {
return
}
var i uint64
if i, err = es.Save(ctx, agg); err != nil {
return
}
span.AddEvent(fmt.Sprint("wrote events = ", i))
return
}
This lets me do something like this:
a, err := es.Create(ctx, r.es, streamID, func(ctx context.Context, agg *domain.SaltyUser) error {
return agg.OnUserRegister(nick, key)
})
I can tell the function the type being modified and returned using the function argument that is passed in. pretty cray cray.

Hi, I am playing with making an event sourcing database. Its super alpha but I thought I would share since others are talking about databases and such.
It’s super basic. Using tidwall/wal as the disk backing. The first use case I am playing with is an implementation of msgbus. I can post events to it and read them back in reverse order.

I plan to expand it to handle other event sourcing type things like aggregates and projections.
