@darch@neotxt.dk & @prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know how to answer from the .txt file, so I’ll reply here 😅

I was thinking more of having a simple script to have a human-friendly view, and to practice Ruby.
Something like:
https://github.com/my5t3ry/twi

That said, I didn’t know (or recall) about the IndieWeb, I’ll take a look to it, thanks!

@tkanos@twtxt.net both?

@prologic@twtxt.net I have an old iPhone 6 with iOS 10. I’ll check if it’s compatible yet

@thecanine@twtxt.net I like that idea. I try to follow the inbox-zero, although I like to keep at most 5 emails for something I’m working on this week so they are quickly reachable.

I try to uninstall and remove files not being used for more than a few months. And unfollowing people I haven’t gotten in touch with for months.

Haven’t used Optimizers in years (maybe for lazy reasons, the computer is working well) but I could give it a try
Aaaand, I’m trying to move away from Google Photos (which I’ve been using for 10+ years, so it’s a lot of info) but I’m lazy again

@darch@neotxt.dk It’s looking great! I’d stay with the 3rd screenshot

@prologic@twtxt.net Nice point, I tend to value my time more than inexpensive storage space for a few dollars a GB per month.
Although I add that due to time limitations it’s useless to have 3 000 books to read and 300 movies to watch, distracting you and making it harder to prioritize.

interesting how a new kind of modem has to be designed for the GSM specs, and to know more about that serial port mentioned in the answers

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci hey, if I remember correctly this is the answer I read before about the slow transfer speeds

https://superuser.com/a/748163

Yesterday I had a conversation about reducing the amount of digital ‘objects’ we store and bytes used. For me, that’s part of a Digital minimalism, but it seems that’s not the mainstream definition, more related with the amount of time we use our devices. Interesting 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net well, my wife talks with my mother-in-law for hours so it shouldn’t be a problem 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net from my memory, I think the voice channel limits many audio frequencies to reduce bandwidth, and it should use lossy compression. I know the voice quality has improved with 4G and 5G (and audio technologies they use) but I don’t currently know how friendly that is for data transmission and multiplexing. Interesting topic though

Haha, I guess using the voice channel would be painfully slow, but brilliant, ha!

That said, I almost never use my 3 GB fully, since I have WiFI nearby, but for a long travel, could be cool 😎

Well, I agree, here in MX I’m using a pre-paid “plan” for 7 USD/month with unlimited SMS (which I never use), unlimited calls (which I barely use to call my parents and to public services) and only 3 GB of data, with unlimited Meta network (which I’m using as few as possible)

And plans with “unlimited data” are relatively more expensive, like 15 USD/month

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org WTF!

Well, my Saturday classes start today. I’m excited :D

Hehe, having used Win 3.11 I love the analogy.

I think we are more like in the ME age where everything is full of Ads and malware, we wanted everything for free at the reach of a download, and there were a lot of companies saying they could make money but didn’t know how, and where desperately selling digital stuff without that much value, but shiny.

You mean joining to something like
SSH eaplmx@twtxt.net

And having a TLI/CLI to manage the feeds?
That would be cool for hackers 😀

Well, the login technique for SSH is great and works (you have to protect your key, but *nix OS makes it in a safer way)

For web browsing you have Client certificates or Webauthn which require a lot of configuration or external hardware, mostly difficult to use on a mobile device… 🤔

So, yeah, I’d like to find a good balance between easy to use and hacky

Well, that’s the Web 2.9, 3.0 or whatever the current version is. Some pages are quite pleasant to use, but I agree, it’s a whole different experience with an ad blocker and without.

#stupidIdeaOfTheDay (based on one I found randomly on Reddit)

To avoid using Static passwords + TOTPs (like Google Authenticator codes), have a dynamic Single-factor authentication:
Sign the time (in blocks of 30 seconds like with TOTPS) with your private key, so you have passwords valid for 30-90 seconds. Allow at most 10 attempts every 30 seconds. Obviously, the server checks a valid signature with your registered public key.
For this, you can use an extension for your password manager as you are already doing to manage your static passwords + your TOTPs.

Similar to what Yubikey originally did. There are many weak points like Man in the middle, and phishing, and possible attacks over a known message, that were solved with WebAuthn, but it’s a nice exercise to think about.

@movq@uninformativ.de It’s on Sep 15th and 16th. Luckily it’s a Friday today!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Danke!

@prologic@twtxt.net Well, for this specific day, it’s Red Pozole! I don’t know how to describe it, but I leave a recipe so you can have an idea of the ingredients and perhaps the flavour (Disclaimer: It has pork meat, for any vegetarian here, but we often take a version with Soy, chicken or some other proteins)

Today is Mexico’s national day 🇲🇽 !
Let’s enjoy a traditional dish with the family, and celebrate a bit

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, is it Share a picture of your dog Day? 😄 Let me find one of the cute girl over here!

Evidence: https://www.randomready.com/random-group-generator/

Today I was looking for a ‘Random Group Generator’ for my class, and found this interesting claim

This Random List Generator uses an advanced algorithm to split a catalog of entries into the required number of teams or groups. The high-grade artificial intelligence allows it to convey a unique, exclusive, and unbiased result.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Sounds like an interesting project!

I didn’t know about v3 addresses, so I don’t know the details rather than
The address is "the first 80 bits of the SHA-1 of the 1024-bit RSA key"

So, did the keyphrase work for the conversion? Perhaps you could use the BIP39 word list (with 2,048 instead of 65,536 from keyphrase)

@eaplmx@twtxt.net

@justamoment@twtxt.net Thanks! So far it’s looking awesome. Congrats on making it with PWAs, it has been an idea from my side, but haven’t found time to do it. Kudos for including OTPs.

If I can suggest something, I started changing my passwords to Passphrases, since these are easier to type in some situations when I can’t copy-paste them, and due to the length/entropy should be more secure

Empathy-Move-Busybody-Tamper9-Curdle-Kilowatt-Vest-Unsaved

I’ve seen BIP39 from the cryptocurrency world for deterministic creation of the phrase, but perhaps there is some open alternative for it https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks! Well, a vaultless password manager is not ‘passwordless’ but I get your point. Not having to actually remember a password.

I’ve been playing with https://spectre.app although I think having to remember a Master Password + your accounts makes it difficult to use for the average user. You have to remember how exactly the username is stored, or… Having a vault again.

I’m thinking more of getting a Dynamic password, like a 9 digits OTP or similar, with seeds/keys stored in some device, like we actually do for 2FA/TOTP. I’ll be not a 2 factor authentication, so I’m going around in circles.
Also, I’ve heard of OPAQUE as a way to avoid transmitting passwords, but that’s another topic https://ctrlc.hu/opaque/

And lastly (for my 280+ characters twt), I like WebAuth with multiple implementations. Perhaps with the support of OS designers, it would be easier for users https://www.wired.com/story/apple-passkeys-password-ios16-ventura/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/id

I heard you can do voice recognition offline (pre-trained for English), but have never used it, no idea how well it works

Today I was playing a bit with ‘useless stuff’ like Client Certificates, S/MIME email encryption, email certificates, passwordless ideas, and static web generators.

Aaaand also learning Ruby with the fantastic series of books Head First (I learned C#, I think, in 2008)

Was a nice Tuesday, he

Writing on paper, and typing on the computer or the phone at the speed of speaking has been appealing for me although I came in a generation where that is not important anymore… You can use an AI to transcript voice to text, and such.

That said, I’ve been researching as a hobby on the old ‘trends’ like http://www.fordshorthand.com for handwriting, and http://opsahl.github.io/yash/ when you use a keyboard

Stay tuned…

@movq@uninformativ.de I’m more on recording videos and podcasts, aaaand perhaps recording a bit of guitar.

😮 Enjoy your last 24 hours!

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net for me Rust has been difficult to keep interest on. I don’t have a background on C for computers (only microprocessors) or C++.

That said, I’m starting with Ruby and Rails, which is more interesting for my background on PHP, Python, JS, C# and such…

Let see how it goes

@movq@uninformativ.de hehe, yeah, it’s hard. I’m having a lot of reverb and I need to invest on acoustic isolation and such.

Now the problem with my home studio is the ventilation and avoiding noise from outside.

Any tips to reduce noise and echoes?

@will@twtxt.net Well, it feels like… hmm, a tool for communities? Rather than a Forum with Karma (like Reddit used to be)

What is Movim ?
A powerful web frontend for XMPP
Movim is a social and chat platform that act as a frontend for the XMPP network.

@akoizumi@social.kyoko-project.wer.ee eh… Like twtxt.net 😮 ?

Today I found on HackerNews a federated ‘Reddit’ 🤔
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/index.html

@prologic@twtxt.net hehe, no prob :) I was just thinking on how to retrieve older twts outside Yarn, with a CLI tool or similar

@prologic@twtxt.net quick question for you… Is the # prev part of the spec currently working on Yarn?
https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/archivefeedsextension.html

My question goes more on, I’m looking at your .txt and can’t see your older twts
