@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You are right! 🤣 That was a really lovely rendition of that song! 🎧 🙌

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Sounds alright to me 😹

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s thankfully not entirely true. There are some companies that are starting to realize that “Cloud” is actually more expensive and so we’re starting to see a bit of a migration back 🤞

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I actually have experience building Caddy modules hmmm 🧐

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Interesting project 🤔

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Yes 🙌

Business trips / Off-Sites can be rather exhausting 😴

Yes

@xuu Nice! 👍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is pretty good, love the music 🎶 Haha 😆

@xuu Got a sample to show/share? 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net 👌

Kind of catchty 😄

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bahahahahaha 😂

@xuu Oh wow! Thank you ! 🙏 And yeah even at 2x it sounds good enough to comprehend 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de apparently very hard 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’d have to hear it to get it 🤣

(#uavwuqq) @eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me Nah, my pod seems to have the correct URL 🤣

@xuu Yeah looks like an edge case. Because of the way he announces his preferred nick in the feed the “Reply” button spits out @eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me for me, which then gets eaten as two mentions, probably matching twice against my following list?

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me test

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me I replied in the fork, but essentially there’s no reason we can’t support two different models here. We already do this anyway with numerous single-user, single hosted and managed feeds + a bunch of multi-user yarnd pods that form a “distributed network”.

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me I think the general idea that we’re settling on here is that maybe we can build a simple solution to this whole “wtf is this hash?” problem. yarnd already forms a sort-of “distributed network” amongst its peers and whilsts uses Twtxt (of course) is both decentralised and distributed. Nothing wrong with that. – I tried to build a search engine and crawler, but getting that resource efficient and useful is hard™.

So if we can have a small network of participating members of the community forming a “distributed network” of the Twtxt™ space, we can solve this problem quite easily. We could even put some GeoDNS routing in place and a single A record/domain to make things even easier. Let’s call it s “Registry Service” if you will :)

@thecanine@twtxt.net 👀

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same 😢

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev What a nice thing to say 🙇‍♂️

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Would it help if I documented the two protocols that yarnd uses today for this “distributed network”? 🧐

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Simple enough 👍

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me I don’t think there’s anything wrong with an optional distributed network with participating members of the community. As long as it’s optional.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev this is actually already achieved with yarnd

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me So what was the definition of a web log back in the day? 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Me neither 🙌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ita more so that with enough data you start to need an index

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I agree 💯

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz We missed you too 🤗

You’re all wrong 😑 @anth@a.9srv.net will happily tell you (hopefully) that we’ve been doing this whole “microblogging” / “status update” thing decades earlier than anything you’ve ever seen in the form of finger 🤣 and “plan” files 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yeah okay, I’ll see if I can reproduce this silly nonsense version string 🤣 cheers! 🍻

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Yeah I think @xuu has built some interesting stuff around this? 🤔

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I’m not entirely sure what this means:

development that requires a database

Obviously I wasn’t in the discussion so I feel like I’m missing some context here 🤔

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Actually that’s a fantastic idea 🙌

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me 🤗😍

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me No worries 🤗 My emotionally state are my own to sort out 🤣

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Welcome back! 🙌

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Actually that’s’ a known bug I haven’t worked out yet hmmm 🧐

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Arw you running make build or go build?

@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? 🤔

One of the biggest gripes of the community with the way the threading model currently works with Twtxt v1.2 (https://twtxt.dev) is this notion of:

What is this hash?
What does it refer to?

Idea: Why can’t we all agree to implement a simple URI scheme where we host our Twtxt feeds?

That is, if you host your feed at https://example.com/twtxt.txt – Why can’t or could you not also host various JSON files (let’s agree on the spec of course) at https://example.com/twt/<hash> ? 🤔

That way we solve this problem in a truly decentralised way, rather than every relying on yarnd pods alone.

@unexplained_mysteries@feeds.twtxt.net Interesting article on the philosophy of thougjts 🙌

Power outages throughout south east queensland (map)

We’ve now had centimeters of rainfall in the last 24hrs 😱 – Yesterday afternoon the local creek near us had already gone several inches over the footbridge too! 😱😱

@emmanuel@wald.ovh That’s not good mate 😢 Hope you’re feeling better? 🤗

So… Cylone Alfred made landfall (whatever that means) last night, and I watched it hit my wife’s Uncle/Aunt’s place on one of the outer islands, then move westwards and sort of fizzle out. It’s now been downgrade to a “Tropical Low” (I guess not good enough for a Cat X anymore?), but we’re still in the Eye of it, and there’s still a swirling mass of winds (just not as fast). Now we get to look forward to flooding 🤣

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I think you’ve done an amazing job of this client 🙌

Update:

Another view!

This is what I’ll be facing into in the next few hours and over the next couple of days! Cyclone Alfred 🌀

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Same I think it’s not worth it either

@xuu Awww thanks bro 😎

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I know right? 🤣 Fuck this geoip blocking censored shit™ 💩

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmm

Video unavailable

🥲🥲

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me That should be fine 🤞

This seems to be capable of supporting edits as you noted. But I need to think a bit more (~2am here now) of whether this can be abused in any way… The advantage of Content-based Addressing (hashing the content) is that the hash is then immutable, meaning that we can have integrity that the hash actually represents that content from that author at that time.

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me I kind of like the idea of 96473B4F_1 – That is SHA256SUM(feed_url)_<monotomic_feed_post_id>

Example feed I guess? ☝️

# default_lang = en
# discovery_url = https://example.com/discovery/
# follow = alice https://example.com/alice.txt ABCDEF12
# follow = alice gemini://example.com/alice.txt
# avatar = https://example.com/avatar/alice.png
# avatar = gemini://example.com/avatar/alice.png

@eapl.me@eapl.me Some really good idea in this post of yours 👌👌

@xuu Oh 🤔

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Reading… 👀

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I meant “detect” lol 😂

@xuu Is this why threads are getting a bit messed up lately? 🧐

@xuu redirects to https://text.eapl.mx/main-en for me?

@xuu Um sorry?! A “smart” toilet?! 🤦‍♂️

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me This sounds great! 🙌 Will you coordinate this activity? 🙏

@xuu What do you mean by this? 🧐 If we implement and other clients don’t, Then we end up forking the community no? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Pros/Cons. I’m not so Vince’s that switching to location based addressing will be better.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Clients could detest edits 🤞

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I agree, extremism either way, and bad temper’s never amount of anything good 😢

Remember any media outlet and even independent youtuber(s), etc, typically pick apart the bits they want to show and sensationalize things a bit 🤣 Yes there was a heated debate/argument, but it’s nowhere near as bad as some media outlets are making 🤦‍♂️ Also yes, JD is a hot head, Zelensky should have just shut up 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I hope so 🤣 The 46m one in the white house oval office right?

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net And yet… All of this nonsense is paid for the the people with taxes 🤦‍♂️

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net To a certain extend. The limit is artificial and configurable.

Hmmm 🧐

I watched the full debate and yes, there was a heated argument in the last 10 minutes, but Trump pulled it back together calmly in the end. All three of them were complete asses Trump, JD and Zelinski.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think so?

Oh… So some of Trump’s ~600 staff are quitting over this already? 🤔🤔

Idea: The entire world population email comments@whitehouse.gov with words of disdain 🤣 For example:

Dear Mr. President

Your behavior today was woeful. I am writing to ask you to resign immediately before you make things much worse.

Kind regards

Citizen of the World

‘Putin and his cronies are probably popping champagne’: Sen. Kelly blasts Trump - YouTube

Honestly, the U.S President and Vice President should just resign immediately. What a disgrace.

@david@collantes.us What da actual fuck?! Was this actually televised live? 🤔

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I don’t get the “layers” bit at all, but the composability ist just common sense to me. It requires a good language though with the right levels of abstractions. i.e: prefer interfaces over classes.

Reading into the so-called CLEAN architecture reminds me of the work I did nearly two decades earlier called circuits hmmm 🧐

Which I will happily take down one Claro Enterprise Solutions (Claro Networks) conract me back!

I’m going to bed. I left them a 1 Star rating and full Review on Google Maps 🤣

Why are some America so fucking rude and hostile? Is this normal? 🤔

So I contact the Miramar Police West District Station just now to seek help in finding out if a business called Claro Enterprise Solutions located at 3350 SW 148th Ave #400, Miramar, FL 33027, Estados Unidos with phone number +19545177301 actually exists, is legit and to validate the phone number.

Why? Because someone or something from this ASN (network) is doing some stupid shit™ that I had to block at the ASN (entire network) level 🤬
