@anth@a.9srv.net I admit I didn’t know about text fragments. How new is this? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de allow me to stump you! Our Oracle team runs scripts, java, and a few others from NFS shares. That has become a true problem when VMs have moved to Azure, and NFS servers remain on premises. NFS doesn’t like latency, especially when laced with high I/O activity.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net wut da fuq?! What happened? What da hell was the Australian federal police even doing or asking? da fuq? I didn’t even know Session was based in Australia?! 🇦🇺 Oh my 😱 – I think this is worth enough to raise this with my local Federal MP (Elizabeth Watson Brown). This is nuts. The Australia FP can get bent 🤦‍♂️ I’d like to learn more about wtf happened here, seriously this is unacceptable and an overreach at first glance.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site This is absolutely true! 💯 However the natural behavior of editing a post is the same as forking. So from a community perspective, we’re actaully okay with how that works in reality. I think we’re all getting a bit too hung up on “exactness”. One of the things I think we’re finding hard to reconcile is the fine line between a decentralised ecosystem and distributed system.

I want it very much to remain decentralised. That means Content-based addressing makes sense, because you can have integrity about what a Twt Hash means. I don’t really mind if a thread gets forked because the OP was edited, that’s actually how forking works anyway 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net With respect, a client can not identify whether an edit took place. Not unless that same client witnessed both the original twt and the edited one. This won’t be the case if a person you’re following is joining a thread started by people you aren’t following after the first twt of that thread has already been modified. Or if you’re knocked offline by a multi-hour power outage that spans then entire time window between a twt getting uploaded and modified.

In any case, yes Content addressing can break threads when the original content is edited that’s for sure, however we’ve since agreed and realized that technically speaking, we can actually identify from a clients perspective, whether an edit took place.

Alas, I can’t get myself to resist. Interacting with tech and software makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop: “I wanna taste all of it! Find my favorite Lollipop and wonder about where it came from, who made it? How is it possible to turn any kind of mushy juicy fruit into a hard, forever lasting candy in a freaking stick!? Oh, Wait!! Is THAT chocolate over there!!?”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Although my recent breakage/down time was more of a result of human error than it is something to blame on software itself, I do get your point; and will highly probably end up going the same route in the near future. It’s just that in order to south my forever itching curiosity, I have to learn and try some things first.

@asquare@asquare.srht.site We’ve collectively as a community (welcome to the community too! 🥳) had a many-week, multi-thread debate over this. It all boils down to Content Addressing vs. Location Addressing and the benefits, pros/cons of each approach. Ultimately though threads in Twtxt take advantage of a convention we formalized as the Twt Subject. This is combined with a Location-based Addressing, the Twt Hash extension. In the end we are likely to stay with this approach, but fix the parameters we use and truction.

So, uh, did anyone but me notice that the last character of a twt hash is always either an a or a q? Which is the natural consequence of taking the last digit in the base32 representation of a 256-bit hash – 256 is not evenly divisible by 5 ! That final character is made up of one bit of actual information and 4 bits of padding.

Dois anos após a implementação de medidas de proteção integral na Reserva Natural das Ilhas Selvagens, surge uma inaceitável tentativa de reabrir a pesca nesta área. A proposta apresentada à Assembleia Legislativa da Madeira pretende reduzir a zona de proteção de 12 para 2 milhas náuticas, permitindo a captura de atuns, o que coloca em risco os compromissos de conservação que posicionaram a Madeira como referência internacional na defesa dos ecossistemas marinhos.

Uma proposta do partido CHEGA Madeira pretende reverter a proteção total do maior santuário marinho da Europa – e não podemos permitir este retrocesso!

Proteja as Ilhas Selvagens – participe nesta ação!

Probably going to stick to my original plan, which is to implement everything I need by hand. Becaus to me part of the appeal of twtxt is that it’s simple enough for it to be feasible to roll your own implementation.

I’m not using anything that you would recognize as a full-featured client. I upload twts with hut publish, “publicise my user agent” with manual curl invocations (when I remember to) (thanks to @movq@www.uninformativ.de for the informative guide https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt-mention.html), and as for following other people’s feeds, I still haven’t decided how I’m going to do that.

The V: pattern itself is quite good because you can do quite a lot of powerful things with selected text.

For example: ggV}:s/^/ -/ will insert a - at the beginning of every line turning your bunch of lines into a Markdown list of items 😅
