@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net (#6jkpxzq) hmm from what i can tell its parsing ok.. something got broken in the markdown conversion…

@prologic@twtxt.net @xuu@txt.sour.is (#6jkpxzq)

@prologic@twtxt.net hmm this line seems to be tricky to parse. will need to look into it.

@prologic@twtxt.net test. Running new parser on txt.sour.is. :D

@prologic@twtxt.net that would be an interesting idea. I think your current spec of using an SMTP proto is probably best for DM.

but having a federation of IRC servers would be interesting for realtime twt propagation.

@prologic@twtxt.net the meta info on the top I added manually. it’s following what I have seen from some other twtxt feeds. the new parser will read them.

@prologic@twtxt.net Veri soon. I have a experimental runflag that I am just about to deploy to my node. I have a few show stoppers holding me back.

Woohoo, #phpub2twtxt - my php interface for publishing to my selfhosted twtxt.txt is now online at GitHub

@lucidiot@tilde.town “nuclear realtor” I like this twtxt. [meta: I guess I’ll often just reply with “I like this” or , although perhaps liking could be a primitive. I’ll do it rarely enough to not clutter my timeline tho]

@prologic@twtxt.net sometimes I think it would be nice to have a XMPP instance. then I remember it’s all XML and I think “nah.”

I am constantly in awe that IRC remains the only realtime chat that isn’t unnecessarily complex. name another that can run chatops bot with just nc and sh?

@adi@twtxt.net “@niplav What kind of thinking?” Leaning towards explicit abstract reasoning, though, if I would be pressed.

@adi@twtxt.net “@niplav What kind of thinking?” Nearly everything, I guess? More concretely: What falls into the category of whatever spans {deciding where to sit, deciding whether to blame someone else for something, catching a ball, picking a good career, proving a theorem}.

@prologic@twtxt.net @xuu@txt.sour.is Closer! Last bit to finish is a beast. FormatTwtFactory

@vain@www.uninformativ.dedd @lyse@lyse.isobeef.orgdd @prologic@twtxt.netdd Nope.. i have updated my gist to include the feeds listing. feeds.txt

@prologic@twtxt.net that seems to match my numbers. are you picking up the few gophers out there?

kinda makes me wonder about the ~300k you have cached. y’all got the library of alexandria over there.

FOLLOW: @stats@txt.sour.is from @xuu@txt.sour.is using twtxt/0.1.0@9d7b86c

@prologic@twtxt.net in theory shouldn’t need to let users add feeds.. if they get mentioned by a tracked feed they will get added automagically. on a pod it would just need to scan the twtxt feed to know about everyone.

@prologic@twtxt.net sounds about right. I tend to try to build my own before pulling in libs. learn more that way. I was looking at using it as a way to build my twt mirroring idea. and testing the lex parser with a wide ranging corpus to find edge cases. (the pgp signed feeds for one)

Well, my twtxt reader is a bit too simple; drops who actually wrote the message before it’s printed. 🤦🏻

@prologic@twtxt.net the add function just scans recursivley everything.. but the idea is to just add and any new mentions then have a cron to update all known feeds

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it reads a seed file. I’m using mine. it scans for any mention links and then scans them recursively. it reads from http/s or gopher. i don’t have much of a db yet.. it just writes to disk the feed and checks modified dates.. but I will add a db that has hashs/mentions/subjects and such.

@prologic@twtxt.netd It is pretty basic, and depends on some local changes i am still working out on my branch.. https://gist.github.com/JonLundy/dc19028ec81eb4ad6af74c50255e7cee

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net very curious… i worked on a very similar track. i built a spider that will trace off any follows = comments and mentions from other users and came up with:

twters:  744
total:  52073

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jointwt/we-are-twtxt/master/we-are-twtxt.txt | grep -v '^niplav ' | field 2 | xargs curl ^/dev/null | grep niplav here we go

@prologic@twtxt.net “What the hell does cartesianly mean?! 😳” Me inventing a new adjective for “there is only a one-way flow of information” ^^

Maybe I could write a script that trawls the we-are-twtxt list and notifies me when I’m mentioned–the name should be unique enough.

Disadvantage of twtxt: less incentives to reply to people since it’s not certain they’ll ever see it. My current solution to that is to follow everybody on the we-are-twtxt and only unfollow if they twt a lot of stuff I’m not interested in

@felixp7@twtxt.net “Yo, crypto-heads. Encrypted communication doesn’t protect your privacy. Laws …” I guess crypto-heads are often happy with acknowledging this, but also arguing that e.g. deniable crypto is a useful way out here (and, of course, just doing illegal stuff if it gets really rough).

Following with interest the developer activity regarding the twtxt spec at twtxt.net

Okay, my #twtxt reader works-ish. Need to properly deal with timezones (and, um, maybe do any error checking).

I have a working model for the reader portion of what I want this twtxt client to do.

@prologic@twtxt.net I am trying to cut costs, so I deleted all my Digital Ocean droplets. For a month I will be using a free s390x VPS, so I needed to adapt some of my Docker images, scripts and configurations for that architecture. Also took another chance with Traefik Proxy, I ditched it long ago for nginx-proxy, but this time I made it work. #h5nn5tq

@prologic@twtxt.net that I do. lol. I am xuu on hackint.org and freenode

@prologic@twtxt.net sure. I don’t use signal much because I have to disclose my personal phone. Telegram? https://www.t.me/xypheri

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net Your feed was great for catching edge cases ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net https://github.com/JonLundy/twtxt/tree/xuu/integrate-lextwt I made a stats command for the new parser that extracts a bunch of info about a twtxt file. run like: go run ./cmd/stats https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt

FOLLOW: @xuu@txt.sour.is from @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org using twtxt/1.2.3

@prologic@twtxt.net yep!some of the lexer is directly copied from monkey-lang. love that book series.

@prologic@twtxt.net ah I need to add an edge case for naked urls with fragments.

@prologic@twtxt.net yep. it actually extracts everything at parse time. like mentions/tags/links/media. so they can be accessed and manipulated without additional parsing. it can then be output as MarkDown

@adi@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net using regex. which can be a rather inexact science ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net kinda.. It can parse the twts into an AST.. but most of the formatting out expects a string to do regex over rather then the parsed AST. thats what i am working out next.

@prologic@twtxt.net as promised! https://github.com/JonLundy/twtxt/blob/xuu/integrate-lextwt/types/lextwt/lextwt_test.go#

the lexer is nearing completion.. the tough part left is rooting out all the formatting code.

the !zet I have written for my wiki is probably going to end up replacing what I’ve been using twtxt for these past few months. this means less spam here. you’re welcome.

@prologic@twtxt.netdd ooh I am adding that to my test suite

@prologic@twtxt.net @gareppa Tis fake.. that is the name of the tower in Die Hard. A movie that takes place on Christmas Eve. The actual name of the Nakatomi Plaza is the FOX Plaza.

@prologic@twtxt.net I agree, should have asked for help. Neither the bridge network nor any other bridge-based custom network allowed the containers to contact external servers, it might have been an iptables issue. #twflvza

@prologic@twtxt.net went over to watch this one in my home town last night. https://youtu.be/kUZB0_Jx3iE

@xuu@txt.sour.is yikes the style sheet for blogs needs help.

@prologic@twtxt.net (#5jqioeq) Wrote up a blog post here: https://txt.sour.is/blog/xuu/2020/12/21/twtxt-auto-discovery

New Blog Post Twtxt Auto Discovery by @xuu@txt.sour.is 📝

@deadguy @prologic@twtxt.net been stewing on a discovery proto for twtxt. support for defining multiple ways to host/mirror a twtxt file. while being low tech enough to still be scriptable with basic Unix commands.

@adi @prologic@twtxt.net I’ll give it a spin first thing in the AM

Yes @prologic@twtxt.net, I will be cross-posting to twtxt.net, following the POSSE principle https://indieweb.org/POSSE . #vjdyupq

that’s it. I’m finding another twtxt client.

Atelophobia by @hecanjog@hecanjog.com [[https://hecanjog.bandcamp.com/album/atelophobia]] #links #bandcamp

@prologic@twtxt.net when its ready.. this is still in beta.

@prologic@twtxt.net It did, posting from txtnish, nice to know. #utwnv7q

@prologic@twtxt.net Testing if this will be added to the thread just adding the hashtag. #utwnv7q

@prologic@twtxt.net Txtnish adds a 28 character timestamp to the message, so in Bash: tweet=tail -1 the current twtxt.txt file and then pipe echo body=${tweet:28} to twt.

Using twt as a post_tweet_hook for txtnish to re-post to a twtxt “pod” https://github.com/jointwt/twtxt

Seems like twtxt-el does not retrieve a timeline. #emacs

Testing twtxt-el by posting this status message.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it would replace rice. best part is that it’s in the go build step so you don’t need to do any prep work with make.

@prologic@twtxt.net after stewing on it. I really like the idea of a wiki. throw it on the roadmap after DMs 😆

@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

@prologic@twtxt.net found it!

2020-07-25T00:52:27.000000Z a new twtxt/weewiki feature: any word starting with ‘!’ will translate to an internal weewiki reference in my HTML renderer. Example: here is my !wiki_index

@prologic@twtxt.net https://txt.sour.is/twt/cwqmygq

@prologic@twtxt.net I see them is why I ask. like here #cwqmygq they use both hashtag and bangtag?

@prologic@twtxt.net 😁 that is me testing locally. does it notify you somehow when I follow?

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

Setting up txtnish on the Linux side of one of my computers that runs CloudReady. #twtxt #txtnish #chromeos

@prologic@twtxt.net one.. kinda sorta option would be to tailor a workflow for each of the archs.. see https://github.com/JonLundy/twtxt/runs/1568071072?check_suite_focus=true

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net oh.. you are.. maybe i don’t understand the issue with building?

@prologic@twtxt.net have you tried using the macos github build environment? looks like they have a windows one too.

@prologic@twtxt.net you think its time the version to get bumped? :)

@prologic@twtxt.net I use https://key.sour.is/id/me@sour.is

I would need an out-of-band way to verify your public key’s fingerprint though 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Ok.. so using NaCL boxes. yeah its just a combo of using secretbox with a generated key/nonce. and then using the pubkey box to encrypt the key/nonce for each device.

@prologic@twtxt.net

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.

WEBMENTION: @xuu@txt.sour.is on https://twtxt.net/twt/raylsra

@prologic@twtxt.net def would be a wider discussion on preventing the pod from adding its own key to a users device list. Or using device keys to authenticate instead of user/pass.

@prologic@twtxt.net pod should probably track revocation of device keys and delete the encryptedkeys that are paired with revoked keys

@prologic@twtxt.net device gets the cypertext and uses it’s device key to decrypt one of the keys and then decrypts the cypertext.

@prologic@twtxt.net sender generates an AES key encrypts message. gets the device list for user and encrypts key for each device. sends the encryptedkeys+cypertext.

@prologic@twtxt.net for encryption. we can have browser/app generate ec25519 keypair. store the private on device and add pub to list of devices for the user on pod.

@prologic@twtxt.net 👋 I can take a stab at it when I am done with the changes I am working on.
