Monero Dev Activity Report - Week 44 2024: 11 PRs, 10 Issues
This weekly report aims to provide a big picture view of Monero development activity, increase community support for existing devs and, hopefully, encourage new contributions.

@xuu@txt.sour.is done, and done, and done. The three of us dropped our mail-in ballots, and received confirmation they are counted. Living in a red state (well, kid said it is more like purple now) makes me sad, and mad, but I have done what I canāand that includes explaining things to others, and encouraging them to vote.
Three days from today, towards the end of the day, we in the US will have an idea of who the nationās presiding person will be for the next four years. In the 32 years I have lived here, I have never been more worried about an election outcome.

Inversion by Aric McBay was another random library pick. Like The Fall of Io, itās the most recent in a series, though I think this series is pretty loosely connected. In contrast, the villain in this book is simple and cartoonishly evil. The book presents a design for utopia which was interesting but a little cloying. Iām not sure if Iām supposed to want to live there, but I donāt think I do. I enjoyed the book as easy reading, and might try the others in the series some time. (4/4)
Iām planning to be there tomorrow (message from yesterday, since we can not all live in the future;)

On My Blog:Real Life in Star Trek, Cost of Living https://john.colagioia.net/blog/2024/09/26/cost-living.html #scifi #startrek #closereading
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org on this:
3.2 Timestamps: I feel no need to mandate UTC. Timezones are fine with me. But I could also live with this new restriction. I fail to see, though, how this change would make things any easier compared to the original format.
Exactly! If anything it will make things more complicated, no?
Good writeup, @anth@a.9srv.net! I agree to most of your points.
3.2 Timestamps: I feel no need to mandate UTC. Timezones are fine with me. But I could also live with this new restriction. I fail to see, though, how this change would make things any easier compared to the original format.
3.4 Multi-Line Twts: What exactly do you think are bad things with multi-lines?
4.1 Hash Generation: I do like the idea with with a new uuid
metadata field! Any thoughts on two feeds selecting the same UUID for whatever reason? Well, the same could happen today with url
.
5.1 Reply to last & 5.2 More work to backtrack: I do not understand anything youāre saying. Can you rephrase that?
8.1 Metadata should be collected up front: I generally agree, but if the uuid
metadata field were a feed URL and no real UUID, there should be probably an exception to change the feed URL mid-file after relocation.
@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks for writing that up!
I hope it can remain a living document (or sequence of draft revisions) for a good long time while we figure out how this stuff works in practice.
I am not sure how I feel about all this being done at once, vs. letting conventions arise.
For example, even today I could reply to twt abc1234 with ā(#abc1234) Edit: ā¦ā and I think all you humans would understand it as an edit to (#abc1234). Maybe eventually it would become a common enough convention that clients would start to support it explicitly.
Similarly we could just start using 11-digit hashes. We should iron out whether itās sha256 or whatever but thereās no need get all the other stuff right at the same time.
I have similar thoughts about how some users could try out location-based replies in a backward-compatible way (append the replyto: stuff after the legacy (#hash) style).
However I recognize that Iām not the one implementing this stuff, and itās less work to just have everything determined up front.
Misc comments (I havenāt read the whole thing):
Did you mean to make hashes hexadecimal? You lose 11 bits that way compared to base32. Iād suggest gaining 11 bits with base64 instead.
āClients MUST preserve the original hashā ā do you mean they MUST preserve the original twt?
Thanks for phrasing the bit about deletions so neutrally.
I donāt like the MUST in āClients MUST follow the chain of reply-to referencesā¦ā. If someone writes a client as a 40-line shell script that requires the user to piece together the threading themselves, IMO we shouldnāt declare the client non-conforming just because they didnāt get to all the bells and whistles.
Similarly I donāt like the MUST for user agents. For one thing, you might want to fetch a feed without revealing your identty. Also, it raises the bar for a minimal implementation (Iām again thinking again of the 40-line shell script).
For āwho followsā lists: why must the long, random tokens be only valid for a limited time? Do you have a scenario in mind where they could leak?
Why canāt feeds be served over HTTP/1.0? Again, thinking about simple software. I recently tried implementing HTTP/1.1 and it wasnāt too bad, but 1.0 would have been slightly simpler.
Why get into the nitty-gritty about caching headers? This seems like generic advice for HTTP servers and clients.
Iām a little sad about other protocols being not recommended.
I donāt know how I feel about including markdown. I donāt mind too much that yarn users emit twts full of markdown, but Iām more of a plain text kind of person. Also it adds to the length. I wonder if putting a separate document would make more sense; that would also help with the length.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com This is one of the reasons why yarnd
has a couple of settings with some sensible/sane defaults:
I could already imagine a couple of extreme cases where, somewhere, in this peaceful world oneās exercise of freedom of speech could get them in Real trouble (if not danger) if found out, it wouldnāt necessarily have to involve something to do with Law or legal authorities. So, If someone asks, and maybe fearing fearing for⦠letās just say āTheir well beingā, would it heart if a pod just purged their content if itās serving it publicly (maybe relay the info to other pods) and call it a day? It doesnāt have to be about some law/convention somewhere ⦠𤷠I know! Too extreme, but Iāve seen news of people whoād gone to jail or got their lives ruined for as little as a silly joke. And it doesnāt even have to be about any of this.
There are two settings:
$ ./yarnd --help 2>&1 | grep max-cache
--max-cache-fetchers int set maximum numnber of fetchers to use for feed cache updates (default 10)
-I, --max-cache-items int maximum cache items (per feed source) of cached twts in memory (default 150)
-C, --max-cache-ttl duration maximum cache ttl (time-to-live) of cached twts in memory (default 336h0m0s)
So yarnd
pods by default are designed to only keep Twts around publicly visible on either the anonymous Frontpage or Discover View or your Timeline or the feedās Timeline for up to 2 weeks with a maximum of 150 items, whichever get exceeded first. Any Twts over this are considered āoldā and drop off the active cache.
Itās a feature that my old man @off_grid_living@twtxt.net was very strongly in support of, as was I back in the day of yarnd
ās design (nothing particularly to do with Twtxt per se) that Iāve to this day stuck by ā Even though there are some š that have different views on this š¤£
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @falsifian@www.falsifian.org @prologic@twtxt.net Maybe I donāt know what Iām talking about and Youāve probably already read this: Everything you need to know about the āRight to be forgottenā coming straight out of the EUās GDPR Website itself. It outlines the specific circumstances under which the right to be forgotten applies as well as reasons that trump the oneās right to erasure ā¦etc.
Iām no lawyer, but my uneducated guess would be that:
A) twts are already publicly available/public knowledge and such⦠just donāt process childrenās personal data and MAYBE youāre good? Since thereās this:
⦠an organizationās right to process someoneās data might override their right to be forgotten. Here are the reasons cited in the GDPR that trump the right to erasure:
- The data is being used to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information.
- The data is being used to perform a task that is being carried out in the public interest or when exercising an organizationās official authority.
- The data represents important information that serves the public interest, scientific research, historical research, or statistical purposes and where erasure of the data would likely to impair or halt progress towards the achievement that was the goal of the processing.
B) What I love about the TWTXT sphere is itās Human/Humane element! No deceptive algorithms, no Corpo B.S ā¦etc. Just Humans. So maybe ⦠If we thought about it in this way, it wouldnāt heart to be even nicer to others/offering strangers an even safer space.
I could already imagine a couple of extreme cases where, somewhere, in this peaceful world oneās exercise of freedom of speech could get them in Real trouble (if not danger) if found out, it wouldnāt necessarily have to involve something to do with Law or legal authorities.

P.S: Maybe make X
tool check out robots.txt? Or maybe make long-term archives Opt-in? Opt-out?
P.P.S: Already Way too many MAYBEās in a single twt! So Iāll just shut up. š
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Iām glad you like it. A mention (@<movq https://www.uninformativ.de/twtxt.txt>
) is also long, but we live with it anyway. In a way a replyto:
is just a mention of a twt instead of a feed/person. Maybe we chould even model the syntax for replies on mentions: (#<2024-09-17T08:39:18Z https://www.eksempel.dk/twtxt.txt>)
