What does the #twtxt community think about having a p2p database to store all history? This will be managed by Registries.

I think we are approaching a new step.

Good shot!

@prologic@twtxt.net We often turn to a database when we can use a plain text file, such as a CSV. With sed or awk, you can run simple queries without using a database.
Did I get the context right? 😀

Today I learned how to use TestCafé. It is a E2E framework.
I needed it because I wanted to write a script that would launch a browser in the background, log me in with a username and password, and return the cookie value with the token ID. The goal is to perform tests with the token.

🐿️ squirrels!

I’d need to think about it deeply, but at a first sight, nanoblogging would be a simple text (like the original twtxt spec, aimed for TUIs), and microblogging (like Twitter was a few years ago), would be about sharing texts, images, videos, GIFs, links, and perhaps Markdown styling.

Why? You have shorter messages than in a blog, but you may add almost anything you could do in a blog.
Buuut… who knows?

Also, they bit off plenty of twigs and carried them around, not sure where they put them. I’ve never seen them do that before. Once more I realized that I need a better zoom.

@prologic@twtxt.net oops, I’m sorry to see disagreement leading to draining emotions.

It remind me a bit of the Conclave movie where every part wanted to defend their vision and there is only a winner. If one wins the other loses. Like the political side of many leaders and volunteers representing a broad community. I don’t think that’s the case here. Most of us (in not all) should ‘win’.

I can only add that isn’t nice to listen that ‘my idea and effort’ is not what the rest of the people expect. I personally have a kind of issue with public rejection, but I also like to argue, discuss and even fight a bit. “A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials,” they say.
This exercise and belonging to this community also brings me good feelings of smart people trying to solve a human and technical problem, which is insanely difficult to get ‘right’.

I genuinely hope we can understand each other, and even with our different and respectful thoughts on the same thing, we might reach an agreement on what’s the best for most people.

Good vibes to everyone!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I also think we need to remove ourselves a bit from the “Twtxt” format as it was originally designed by Buckket.

The beauty of twtxt is, you put one file on your server, done. One.

I’m not talking (nor ever was here) about that. We should be allowed to and encourage dot evolve its usage and our own.

It would be far better as a community to focus on the utility of our tools, services, protocols, formats and specifications as well as our own clients and usages thereof rather than this “idealised” design from © 2016.

If you strongly disagree with this, then I think I’ll just honestly step away from all of this as the back ‘n forth on this whole “beaty” and “simplify” argument is honestly wearing me down 😢

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sorry I didn’t mean to upset you or anyone here in the community. I am/was merely trying to solve what I perceive to be a problem and an ask in the community:

How do I know what a hash refers to?

I believe the reason for this stems from a curiosity of the user of whether they might find that thread interesting or whether there are new interested feeds to follow?

Although my idea increases complexity slightly (introducing a new concept) I don’t think it’s particular hard to understand, reason about or implement (complicated). One could even even make the implementation quite simple in fact.

Either way, the idea of a service (cantralised) or participating clients/registries (distributed) providing reverse hash lookups doesn’t sound too bad really.

What do you propose to solve the above problem? 🤔

I went for a run this morning after months of not running and it feels so good!
