@bender@twtxt.net So far I’ve been following feeds fairly liberally. I’ll check to see if we have anything in common and lean toward following, just because this is new to me and it feels like a small community. But I’m still figuring out what I want. Later I’ll probably either trim my follower list or come up with some way to prioritize the feeds I’m more interested in.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 31°C here, feels like 33°C, with a lovely 75% of humidity. It has been raining, on and off (to make matter “better”) the whole day until now. No horses here, but if you go outside you will smell the same smell of farm animals (like goats, or pigs). That’s because two or three kilometres from here there are private farms, and when the wind blows in such way, well, we are reminded of their existence.

I haven’t left the house, so it feels well under air conditioning. In two more hours I will call it quits from the work day, and will have to dash to the grocery to get supplies for tonight’s meal (arroz con gandules). I will let you know how it truly feels out there then. :-D

For those swollen fingers, nothing better than a mildly cold shower! Oh, and paws off the keyboard! :-P

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You are totally right. The specs are at least “open enough” for us to consider that as an implementation detail. We, and by we I mean @movq@www.uninformativ.de @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net @xuu@txt.sour.is and others should discuss this in more detail I believe and try to see if we can agree on what we’re trying to solve.

Does yarnd provide an API for finding twts? Is it similar?

No, it doesn’t. But yarns (the search engine/crawler wrote) seems more fitting here. It’s been discussed before, the possibility of building a “Twtxt Register v1” compatible API for yarns. I think a search engine + crawler + registry (especially ones that can form a bit of a “distributed network) are far more useful I think in order to support the actual decentralised Twtxt / Yarn ecosystem (which is how I prefer to describe it).

Bom dia #MusiQuinta !
Esta semana falamos de #SoloApoteótico, e a verdade é que sempre que se falam de solos épicos, memoráveis ou apoteóticos (porque não), vem-me sempre e imediatamente à memória o brilhante solo de bateria em “Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy” dos ManOwaR.

A música no total tem quase meia hora, mas é uma história que vale a pena ouvir, pelo menos uma vez, mesmo que não sejam fãs do género!

In-reply-to » (#tkjafka) I guess I can configure neomutt to hide the feeds I don't care about.

@prologic@twtxt.net One of your twts begins with (#st3wsda): https://twtxt.net/twt/bot5z4q

Based on the twtxt.net web UI, it seems to be in reply to a twt by @cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org which begins “I’ve been sketching out…”.

But jenny thinks the hash of that twt is 6mdqxrq. At least, there’s a very twt in their feed with that hash that has the same text as appears on yarn.social (except with ‘ instead of ’).

Based on this, it appears jenny and yarnd disagree about the hash of the twt, or perhaps the twt was edited (though I can’t see any difference, assuming ’ vs ’ is just a rendering choice).

@prologic@twtxt.net I believe you when you say registries as designed today do not crawl. But when I first read the spec, it conjured in my mind a search engine. Now I don’t know how things work out in practice, but just based on reading, I don’t see why it can’t be an API for a crawling search engine. (In fact I don’t see anything in the spec indicating registry servers shouldn’t crawl.)

(I also noticed that https://twtxt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/registry.html recommends “The registries should sync each others user list by using the users endpoint”. If I understood that right, registering with one should be enough to appear on others, even if they don’t crawl.)

Does yarnd provide an API for finding twts? Is it similar?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org I think I’m missing something in my description. When I say “search engine” I also mean “with a crawler” that is able to self-discover feeds. A registry (as designed today, or as the spec described) required users to add their feeds to one or more registries, putting the burden on the user(s). I for example do not bother adding my feed to a registry (which one would I add it to anyway?)

I just manually followed the steps at https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/twthashextension.html and got 6mdqxrq. I wonder what happened. Did @cuaxolo@sunshinegardens.org edit the twt in some subtle way after twtxt.net downloaded it? I couldn’t spot a diff, other than ‘ appearing as ’ on yarn.social, which I assume is a transformation done by twtxt.net.

@prologic@twtxt.net What’s the difference between search.twtxt.net and the /api/plain/tweets endpoint of a registry? In my mind, a registry is a twtxt search engine. Or are registries not supposed to do their own crawling to discover new feeds?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org So yes, you would ask a pod about the missing Twt by hash, or whatever. Pods do this already, even though there aren’t that many now, so it maybe a bit less effective today. However it’s more of a small/tiny “distributed” protocol, you ask any pod.

On registries however, I think a registry is the wrong approach. I see far greater value in feed crawlers and search engines like the (half baked one) I built over at https://search.twtxt.net/

@prologic@twtxt.net How does yarn.social’s API fix the problem of centralization? I still need to know whose API to use.

Say I see a twt beginning (#hash) and I want to look up the start of the thread. Is the idea that if that twt is hosted by a a yarn.social pod, it is likely to know the thread start, so I should query that particular pod for the hash? But what if no yarn.social pods are involved?

The community seems small enough that a registry server should be able to keep up, and I can have a couple of others as backups. Or I could crawl the list of feeds followed by whoever emitted the twt that prompted my query.

I have successfully used registry servers a little bit, e.g. to find a feed that mentioned a tag I was interested in. Was even thinking of making my own, if I get bored of my too many other projects :-)

(And as a result, jenny –fetch-context didn’t work on prologic’s twt.)
