@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah, I keep my account too - do not want to get rid of it, but I do not post much anymore there at all, just retweet stuff I find interresting.

I write more here then there, and get more response here as well.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Been thinking about leaving twitter recently, so much drama there. But I have not decided yet. It’s still a bit useful for me for getting my tech related news stuff and things like that, so I cannot get my self to leave yet.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah, that seems to be the case :)

@prologic@twtxt.net The one I actually use for something is Monero. I also mine it (asic resistant, mined with cpu). The others I just put some savings in every month. The whole pyramid scheme thing - I do not think much about honestly. Crypto is here to stay, won’t go away. And for me it’s better then stocks because I know nothing about stocks and such. I do not put much into it. I also had some NFT stuff that I minted - which I sold for 10x the price later on, but honestly - last year I gained as much as I lost, so it evened out to almost 0.

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net Yarn.social without threading (as it would be the case in a “truncated” feed) does not make sense to me.

Put another way: Yarn.social is not twtxt. The content that we all have in our feeds really is much closer to a web forum or usenet or whatever. It’s threaded conversations. twtxt, as I believe it was originally intended, are short little status updates – that’s it. The formats of Yarn.social and twtxt might be very similar, but the content is vastly different and, in a way, incompatible. (As such, I think I understand very well that the original twtxt crowd is disgruntled.)

That proposed truncated feed doesn’t really provide any value, if you ask me. 🤔 It’d just be chaotic.

@prologic@twtxt.net It did not crash today (after it did earlier today), I now compiled and updated to latest, I’ll let you know if it happens again.

An option would be to have /twtxt.txt be the base functionality as bukket intended without subject tags, markdown, images and such truncated to 140 chars. a /yarn.txt that has all the extentions as we know and love. and maybe a /.well-known/webfinger + (TBD endpoint) that adds on the crypto enhancements that further extend things.

I’m not super a fan of using json. I feel we could still use text as the medium. Maybe a modified version to fix any weakness.

What if instead of signing each twt individually we generated a merkle tree using the twt hashes? Then a signature of the root hash. This would ensure the full stream of twts are intact with a minimal overhead. With the added bonus of helping clients identify missing twts when syncing/gossiping.

Have two endpoints. One as the webfinger to link profile details and avatar like you posted. And the signature for the merkleroot twt. And the other a pageable stream of twts. Or individual twts/merkle branch to incrementally access twt feeds.

💡 Quick ‘n Dirty prototype Yarn.social protocol/spec:

If we were to decide to write a new spec/protocol, what would it look like?

Here’s my rough draft (back of paper napkin idea):

• Feeds are JSON file(s) fetchable by standard HTTP clients over TLS
  
• WebFinger is used at the root of a user’s domain (or multi-user) lookup. e.g: prologic@mills.io -> https://yarn.mills.io/~prologic.json
  
• Feeds contain similar metadata that we’re familiar with: Nick, Avatar, Description, etc
  
• Feed items are signed with a ED25519 private key. That is all “posts” are cryptographically signed.
  
• Feed items continue to use content-addressing, but use the full Blake2b Base64 encoded hash.
  
• Edited feed items produce an “Edited” item so that clients can easily follow Edits.
  
• Deleted feed items produced a “Deleted” item so that clients can easily delete cached items.

Given the continued hostility of jam6 and buckket over Yarn’a use of Twtxt (even after several years! 😱) I am continuing to face hard decisions.

I am not sure what to do about this. 🤔 I am quite confident that the hostility and sentiment is not held by all Twtxt users past and present 😢

This is a case of a few upset purists who prefer to mock, shame and behave passive aggressively instead of contributing to a healthy discussion and ecosystem.

I am uncertain what Yarn should do here 😢

@prologic@twtxt.net yes I will test it :) cloudflare is something I do not have on my end, so I never thought of that, so glad you mention that as a potential issue to solve. Ill check on it.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Also - I agree with the rest of what you say. I just have a habit of making stuff work, then improve, but what you mention is somethig I need to be better at doing from the start, so I’m glad you mention these things. Also - the TLS check - it refused to connect if I have it enabled, and from what I saw online you need a copy of the servers cert locally to have that enabled, that’s at least what I found when I looked into it, but it’s worth a second look for sure. Pizza was great today, i’m stuffed! :)
