@prologic@twtxt.net Extremely, this whole episode has been insane

Hello again, spent a long time inactive!

been rather uninterested in technology lately for some reason. it’s probably the US Election’s fault, since I live in the US and all

@xuu Good night

Good Afternoon, twtxtrs!!

@prologic@twtxt.net hooray I am safe!

I plan to not be cleaned up 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Burro Lake, in the California Sierras

@prologic@twtxt.net This talk is pretty good, slightly tangential but I like it for this topic

The British voting out the Tories on July 4th seems very symbolic…

@prologic@twtxt.net Exactly! Very nice vibes.

Sorry I don’t post here so much! I’m generally very online on Bluesky, but that’s a completely different kind of posting. I come here when I’m looking for something calmer, slower

@prologic@twtxt.net Certainly makes it less bad than otherwise!

nice day. how we feeling

@prologic@twtxt.net Tiny change I would make is to have the transitions a bit faster. Right now there’s a moment when it feels like nothing is happening 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net Not him, but personally I find it pretty nice 🙂 is it using htmx?

@prologic@twtxt.net Not him, but personally I find it pretty nice 🙂 is it using htmx?

@prologic@twtxt.net very true! so much less crappy javascript can be written thanks to it

@prologic@twtxt.net I think they do some nice stuff on top of it to make it user-friendly and they let you store data on it and give the AI access to it but yeah, roughly the same

@prologic@twtxt.net To me it looks like basically a server you buy for your home that runs a local private LLM on it

@prologic@twtxt.net Hardware, with some custom software

@xuu so true

https://jollamind2.com interesting…

@prologic@twtxt.net It is!

Hmm 🧐
https://www.techdirt.com/2024/05/16/another-billionaire-pushes-a-bid-for-tiktok-but-to-decentralize-it/

@prologic@twtxt.net Probably not! But don’t plan around me for sure 🙂

@prologic@twtxt.net Ooh exciting! 12 PM UTC is 5 AM PST so I can’t make it but very cool anyways

Alright what’s up everyone?

@prologic@twtxt.net Niche I think. Not a bad thing!

Bitwarden is truly excellent. Highly recommend

@xuu@txt.sour.is Just a Monoid in the category of Endofunctors, what’s the problem?

I am going to make a library to add Monads to Go and call it Gonads

Windows is such an awful OS nowadays

@prologic@twtxt.net Nice!

I wanted to see if anybody had made a Gopher library for Go(lang) and turns out, I know the guy who did 😂 @prologic@twtxt.net

Referring, of course, to https://git.mills.io/prologic/go-gopher

Prolog is pretty neat

@prologic@twtxt.net It has been done https://github.com/ShreyanJain9/result

I have decided to make Go good

Hello! How is everyone?

@prologic@twtxt.net I hope it kills the company

@mckinley@twtxt.net Oh Chimera is the one using BSD userland?? Found that very interesting when I saw it a while back

How is everyone?

@prologic@twtxt.net Cool! Now what might be useful is to take all the cool things Yarn does and spec them out into a full protocol. This is also where we might get into extending beyond what Twtxt can offer and into a yarn-specific spec.

@prologic@twtxt.net I know yarn is culturally a slower place than most mainstream social, but I would like to enable servers to somewhat “broadcast” new events on some subscribable endpoint. Since much of the network relies on indexers, this would help the indexers get new posts more immediately, rather than having to schedule their crawls. That’s just one idea to start with

yarn should define its own federation protocol that extends the basic twtxt in ways that twtxt doesn’t allow. it’s time. and i’ve got ideas!

@prologic@twtxt.net Nothing that cool, just happen to be working on it and it’s an Elixir-based Personal Data Server for Bluesky/AT Protocol

Wanna see something interesting?

https://github.com/ovnanova/hexpds

@prologic@twtxt.net Yes please, my default way of storing Twtxt usernames right now is as a URL, but I think Webfinger would be nice as well

@prologic@twtxt.net The only GPT I recognize is the GUID Partition Table

What would the reaction here be if Twtxt were to be added to Bridgy Fed?

@bender@twtxt.net Lol! I’m implying that Twtxt users are too wise to buy a new hyped product

@xuu The worst of Silicon Valley summed up in a nutshell, lol.

@xuu seems like a good idea

@prologic@twtxt.net Interesting! I think Spatial Computing will be exciting, if they’ve done it well.

@prologic@twtxt.net I know right!

So I assume nobody here will be buying a Vision Pro?

@prologic@twtxt.net The one that shipped with the original Mac looked somewhat different:

But the one in my post is the most famous/recognizable version, as it appeared in some of the later versions. Stephen Hackett documented a lot of its history very well…

Oh no, I forgot to post this here three days ago! Here you go now:

https://shreyanjain.net/2024/01/24/years-ago-today.html

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m fairly unimpressed with the actual product. The problem they’re solving is real, but I don’t think the way they’re trying to solve it is correct.

@jan6@twtxt.net it’s your day!

Happy New Year!!!

hmm all my old twts disappeared from the yarn webview, is that normal?

Lost motivation for AoC. Lol.

@prologic@twtxt.net Are word forms of digits supposed to be parsed as digits? I even did that and it still doesn’t work

literally cannot get past day one. what’s the trick?

@prologic@twtxt.net now i just need to actually start solving the problems lol

joining the twtxt aoc leaderboard..

OpenAI drama has been VERY weird. Betting that Altman is fired within a week again :0

@prologic@twtxt.net I mean, at least there is a solution! Ideally though, this problem wouldn’t exist in the first place; it’s completely manufactured by all the sites trying to use cookies in harmful ways, lol

so, the installation went well, but I cannot figure out how to boot from the drive now

Installing Haiku

@prologic@twtxt.net ewwww

@prologic@twtxt.net They have a help center article about it - hope you’re not using Safari…

@prologic@twtxt.net there is also an adblocker rule you can use to get rid of it:

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, thanks 🙂, I wasn’t sure

@prologic@twtxt.net Quick question, does this mean you need to put the entirety of file contents in the URL? Why not instead put it in the POST request body?

Testing yarn’s sync function

@prologic@neotxt.dk yes haha, I’m using your stats to track completion. I also want to try some stupid things with it

@prologic@neotxt.dk indeed. I’m also trying to see if I can index all of twtxt (in a mix of Ruby and Go, haha) 😆

Posting from Yarnc!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Even stupider considering that Google Authenticator is what they advertise as the main 2FA method for your google account. Now think about how that works when the authentication code for your account is being synced, in your account…

Check this out

@prologic@twtxt.net very nice

@prologic@twtxt.net Last night’s supermoon, I think

Wanting to get into Geminispace and starting to feel like I should write my own Gemini server in Go

My Go implementation of a server, for the curious: https://github.com/ShreyanJain9/nex-server

@prologic@twtxt.net Looks a lot like Go, in a good way

Some of their ideas are definite improvements, but other things are more confusing for no good reason

@yakumo_izuru@tsuki.chaotic.ninja Heh, it looks a little bit like a hackathon project someone might make right after discovering TCP/IP and socket programming

@prologic@twtxt.net Yup. Was very easy to get Go implementations of both a Client and a Server up and running within 10 minutes.

Check out the Nex Protocol. It’s designed to be even simpler than Gemini and Gopher. What do you think? Could be great to host a twtxt feed on.

Taking a look at the V Programming Language

@prologic@twtxt.net I guess you could use VLC, it technically meets all your requirements, except it might be hard to use for kids…

Another thing I noticed - the Python implementation cannot handle 512-bit keys. Not sure if this is a limitation of the library or of BIP-39 itself.

@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure! I have a feeling it has something to do with yours possibly not converting to-or-from UTF-8?

@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure what’s wrong with that script, everything looks like it should work…

hacked this up in python that does roughly what you wanted

https://gist.github.com/ShreyanJain9/29438d5dc0ebf58d28fc57dd585621e6

@prologic@twtxt.net @eapl.me@eapl.me there is nothing super specific to bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in BIP39, it can be used for any hexadecimal string. +1 use BIP39

@xuu @prologic@twtxt.net what is being stored in there…

@prologic@twtxt.net for sure, could be time to take some pages out of bluesky’s book, their model for how this would work is very interesting

additional apis for Yarn’s crawler would be nice. And docs for the existing ones
