@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I have really tried to get behind it. For an implementation for my TwtxtReader (PHP) I simply lack the knowledge of the standard-openssl parameters.
All my solution approaches require “nonce” or “initialization vector” on one or the other side. In addition, the “magic numbers” (“Salted__”) were not consistent in my tests.

@prologic@twtxt.net I wish getting a static IP and a (more) stable internet connection wasn’t so hard over here. Then I could do proper self-hosting as well. But as it stands, I need some rented VPS.

I could go ahead and just use the VPS for the IP, i.e. forward all traffic through Wireguard to a box here at home. Big downside is that the network connection would be even slower than it already is and my ISP breaks down all the time for a few minutes … it’s just bad overall and much easier/better to rent a VPS. 🫤

@prologic@twtxt.net Holly, didn’t know bots and crawlers could do comedy now… they should’ve added “Dave Chappelle/69.420” to their UA.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m speculating, but if I had to guess I’d say it’s probably asking for your user password in order to access some user keyring (or whatever your OS uses to manage user secret credentials) used to safely store your passkeys related data in order to do its passkeys /ME doing air quotes Magic™ … you could try with a different password manager to avoid said scenario.

Also, passkeys UX sucks.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Hahaha, that’s sick, I love it! :-D I envy you a bit. On the other hand, I have to admit I’m glad that I don’t have to chisel down giant blocks of ice from the house.

@eapl.me@eapl.me I can do that as soon as I get back home. Also, just in case you’ve missed it, Choice 1 is actually 4 different variations.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I am a big fan of “obvious” math facts that turn out to be wrong. If you want to understand how reusing space actually works, you are mostly stuck reading complexity theory papers right now. Ian wrote a good survey: https://iuuk.mff.cuni.cz/~iwmertz/papers/m23.reusing_space.pdf . It’s written for complexity theorists, but some of will make sense to programmers comfortable with math. Alternatively, I wrote an essay a few years ago explaining one technique, with (math-loving) programmers as the intended audience: https://www.falsifian.org/blog/2021/06/04/catalytic/ .

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Mate, what an amazing video, holy cow! :-D We only get complete jokes of icicles compared to what you had there ealier today. It’s a giant wall. For how many days did that grow on your roof?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Still melting!

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Oh, that’s neat! Interesting how “obviously” isn’t all that obvious at all, even to the contrary. I reckon I have to read up on that subject on the weekend. :-)

I like how Ian’s and your photo complement each other, winter and summer join forces for something special. :-)

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Wooooaaaahhh! That is BY FAR the biggest icicle I’ve ever seen. Really cool! :-) How long did it take to melt in your sink? The video download is still dripping in, looking forward to that.

@eapl.me@eapl.me I couldn’t care less about ActivityPub, but twtxt is the thing for hackers by design. That’s the appealing part for me, personally. I actually do enjoy that not everybody and their dogs are here. :-)

@thecanine@twtxt.net I agree!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know, I don’t see this happening all that often. Very rarely. The problem I encounter much more often is that tech folks are blindly adopting every new hype without thinking the slightest bit what the consequences might be.

But maybe that also means I’m one of these “told you so” guys. Not sure.

I’m in an article in Quanta Magazine! It’s about the bizarre world of algorithms that re-use memory that’s already full. https://www.quantamagazine.org/catalytic-computing-taps-the-full-power-of-a-full-hard-drive-20250218/ I’m the one with all the snow in the background.

I’m surprised, here you can’t find dial controls anymore. How old are your ovens? The last one my parents had was from the 90s.

I was amazed experimenting with different combinations, for instance instead of 100, using 60 for a minute, 90 for 1:30, and stupid stuff like heating with 11, 22, 55 seconds and so, to make it quicker to type any time.

@prologic@twtxt.net Have you tried Google’s robots.txt report? https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6062598?hl=en . I would expect Google to be pretty good about this sort of thing. If you have the energy to dig into it and, for example, post on support.google.com, I’d be curious to hear what you find out.

Feels like a wider problem with the Internet and to some extent computing as a whole. I’m not advocating for elitism or hostile design, but things are being dumbed down to a ridiculous extent - everyone is encouraged to use their computer as a social media box, streaming + gaming console, not learning how it works (even at the most surface level), no more making your own website, your game you never finish, your collection of media in various file formats… When there is an error, you get a generic error message, the networking app is afraid to let the user come into contact with any networking, past scanning the WiFi QR code or plugging in the Internet cable.

Back when I was in primary school, everyone wanted to run their own personal blog website about nonsense nobody else cared about, downloaded songs, movies, games they had to solve problems to run. Maybe we should once again encourage people to think, at least a little.

Something interesting to think about for twtxt, the microblogging for hackers and friends…

The biggest challenge of ActivityPub is that it’s too technical to easily explain to regular people. Nobody is interested in a jargon-laden diatribe about servers and federation. When simple questions have overly complex answers, people tend to switch off.

• This is the third.

Done.

Using - instead now, to see:

• This is the first bulleted line.
  
• This is the second bulleted line.
  
• This is the third.
  

Done.

well, Gemini clients like Lagrange allow to show inline images when you click on an image link. Text based clients, like Amfora, usually allow to watch the image in another ‘window’.

For example here: gemini://text.eapl.mx/en-making-a-tic-tac-toe-variant and there https://text.eapl.mx/en-making-a-tic-tac-toe-variant

I agree that some topics require images to make it easier to explain.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Poo 💩 I feel you 🤗

@bender@twtxt.net I plead the 5th 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net the markdown list in #jr6ywrq is a “loose” list, e.g. https://github.com/erusev/parsedown/issues/474#issuecomment-280874843
My markdown parser (parsedown PHP) renders the list with p-tags also.

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net LOL. It was your doing.

Yes, you did something quite weird with yours.

Let me see how mine come out:

• This is the first bulleted line.
  
• This is the second bulleted line.
  
• This is the third.
  

This concludes my test.

@bender@twtxt.net It’s the blind abiding that worries me a lot. I’m still reading his letter, plus some other similar things I’ve come across I’ll share later. It’s all fucking horrifying just how fucking goddamn corrupted everything is lately 🤦‍♂️

@bender@twtxt.net Not my doing. That’s the Markdown parser/render. Not Goldmark (yet).

Why not? I’m agree about hyperdrive and holepunch but do know how nostr related. Also gateway can be more that one without having nostr discovery problem

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net unrelated, there are problems with <li> here. There shouldn’t be <p> within them, I think. I might be wrong.

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net just being real. I will do it because I feel it’s my duty. As Anthony said on his letter, it isn’t about a silly name, but blindy abiding.

• Google
  

• Alibaba
  

• Open AI

NASA has a list of 10 rules for software development https://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/cosc345/resources/nasa-10-rules.htm

Yesterday I was doing a lot of research on how #hyperdrive and the #holepunch project work. Would it be possible to use it to make #twtxt an easier gateway for new users? Could we stop using web servers?
My conclusion: We would end up being a #nostr. On the one hand it would become more complex to use, it would force the user to have software installed, and on the other hand the community would need a central proxy to make the routes accessible via HTTP. In other words, it’s not a good idea.
However, it’s an AMAZING technology. I want to start playing with it.
