@prologic do you have any info on how the '!' tags are supposed to work? are they just a different kind of hash tag?

@prologic@twtxt.net (#keh22ka) maybe a custom linking method on a pod level? like can pass a template that gets translated. ex https://{domain}/wiki/{nick}/{tag} + !somepage -> https://sour.is/wiki/xuu/somepage

Being misunderstood is a great temporary moat. I could write a book on this, but suffice it to say, I didn’t have confidence in my own vision until I took the time to really look at others and realized that the main difference between me and the average idiot was that I had bothered to look at the ideas of other idiots at all. It was like their entire ontology had become an ant farm. It was the moment I realized, I am a super-idiot. I only half joke, because becoming a super-idiot liberated me from the perfectionism and the addiction to approval that caused a stultifying and primal narcissistic fear of criticism. If you are struggling with this, take it from someone on the other side of it: It’s ok, you’re an idiot. The Strength of Being Misunderstood | Hacker News

Somebody apparently once went up the the great philosopher Wittgenstein and said “What a lot of morons people back in the Middle Ages must have been to have looked every morning at what’s going on behind me now, the dawn, and to have thought that what they were seeing was the sun going around the Earth, when as every schoolkid knows the Earth goes around the sun and it doesn’t take too many brains to understand that.” To which Wittgenstein replied, “Yeah, but I wonder what it would have looked like if the Sun had been going around the Earth.” Point being, of course, is that it would have looked exactly the same. swans on tea » You See What Your Knowledge Tells You You’re Seeing

Anyone here good with Go and feel like helping me build our a "Direct Messages" feature? I was going to pay someone on Upwork to do this, but I've received very few applicants (just one!) and they aren't that good (stock standard crappy Bootstrap experience and no evidence of any experience with Go).

Can we not have clients sign their own public keys before listing them on their Pod’s account?
Yeah.. we probably could. when they setup an account they create a master key that signs any subsequent keys. or chain of signatures like keybase does.

@prologic just an off the wall question about hashes. why not use the time+message as it was in the original twtxt.txt file? is it because it's just not store anyplace?

@prologic@twtxt.net I see.. so using an ec25519 key as identity? and some kind of certificate to define the location of a feed? or maybe a DHT like Kademlia? TwTorrent ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net My thoughts on it being if they switched from a different way of hosting the file or multiple locations for redundancy..
I have an idea of using something like SRV records where they can define weighted url endpoints to reach.

New website
Got a new simplified website. Real old school, no CSS sheet. I’m going to make it more text-based and have more writings.
I’ve also rolled over this RSS feed.
A lot of the site is still unfinished, so notify my of anything I’ve missed so far.
I want to keep old links more or less in place. I haven’t decided if I want to keep using my old blog script (this entry is RSS only).
I feel like I had neglected the blog for a while, and my new site is more conducive to browsing as I add even more. ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net Web Key Directory: a way to self host your public key. instead of using a central system like pgp.mit.net or OpenPGP.org you have your key on a server you own.
it takes an email@address.com hashes the part before the @ and turns it into [openpgpkey.]address.com/.well-known/openpgpkey[/address.com]/<hash>

@prologic@twtxt.net Yep! installed it yesterday. I like the simplicity of twt. I am quite happy with how little memory the pod seems to use. Mastodon and the “lightweight” Pleroma don’t work well in small VMs.

That way at least we can form some kind of cryptographic “identity” without having to involve the users that much, it just works™
i like some of the work that keys.pub is doing with ed25519 crypto keys with something like that.

@prologic@twtxt.net this is a go version of Keyoxide.org that runs all server side. which is based on work from https://metacode.biz/openpgp/
OpenPGP has a part of the self signature reserved for notatinal data. which is basically a bunch of key/values.
this site tries to emulate the identity proofs of keybase but in a more decentralized/federation way.
my next steps are to have this project host WKD keys which is kinda like a self hosting of your pgp key that are also discoverable with http requests.
then to add a new notation for following other keys. where you can do a kind of web of trust.

@lucididiot@tilde.town thank you for the backup! i agree that wiki is in dire need of some maintenance but that hardly seems like a reason to just up and delete it…
@vain@www.uninformativ.de your twtxt setup looks nice. It looks like what i’d like to do in some time when i’m better at Go
I’ve recently been reading up on zettelkastens again, since it is very closely related to the ethos of a personal wiki system like !weewiki. The thing that interests me is the emergent patterns that come from linking things to things. Which is exactly the sort of solution I’m looking for !sample_curation. #halfbakedideas

@prologic@twtxt.net what is the exact syntax neeed for threads to work in the subject, e.g. will (#tsvhqdq) do it? The whole … (#tsvhqdq) thing seems like a bit of overkill. Too many characters.
There is a palpable difference between the universe described by many religions and the universe described by science. The former is all built from concepts rooted in human society such as father, son, judgment, commandment, obedience, sacrifice, punishment etc. The latter is built from eerie ideas such as force field, wavefunction, observable, reference frame, superposition etc. The former feels small, ordinary, familiar and manmade. The latter feels like we’re fumbling for words to describe something that fundamentally transcends ordinary human experience. 100k Stars | Hacker News

a microblogging creative coding platform like dwitter, but for sound. users would be encouraged to remix, the output of one persons code would become the input of the new code. only text would be stored on the server, with audio rendered client-side. to save on time, there could be caches of frozen audio for remixes. #halfbakedideas
the idea would be to build and share tiny 6.5 bit programs encoded as printable ascii characters. this could then in turn be read by a virtual computer to do things like paint a picture or compose a piece of music. #halfbakedideas
a new fix to !weewiki will ignore all org-mode command strings by default. Now things like PROPERTY tags won’t show up in the output.
@lucidiot@tilde.town very cool idea! may have to try something like that at some point…
there are also things like using #hashtags, which could be a useful tool to coordinate with weewiki somehow.
