@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.
@prologic@twtxt.net my bad.. my next one is more fun.

@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?
⤋ Read More
@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 kinda like how MX records work.
@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.
@prologic@twtxt.net 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?
also how set in stone is using user+url? vs user@domain? the latter would mean the url could change without invalidating the hash.
@prologic@twtxt.net when i get the code up to a shareable level ill ping with what i have.
@prologic@twtxt.netd so.. convert the 4 attributes in the struct to private, add getters plus some the other methods that make sense.
type Twt interface {
Twter() Twter
Text() string
MarkdownText() string
Created() time.Time
...
}
@prologic@twtxt.net yeah I do.
It seems a bit wonky that it imports from your packages in some places. I’m guessing that’s some legacy bits that need updates?
@prologic@twtxt.net I have some ideas to improve on twtxt. figure I can contribute some. 😁 bit more work and it will almost be a drop in replacement for ParseFile
Kinda wish types.Twt was an interface. it’s sooo close.
@lyxal@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net yah. the service can have a flag for allowing non-TLS for development. but by default ignores.
are there some users that use alternative protos for twtxt? like ftp/gopher/dnsfs 🤔
My latest work over the last few days. a twtxt parser. so far looking promising. Faster and less memory than the regex version. 😁
@prologic@twtxt.net @lyxal@twtxt.net blocking http would be a good start
@admin @lyxal@twtxt.net hax?
with some scripting, I could probably use my upcoming !weewiki !zettelkasten as a drop-in replacement for !twtxt, and then generate the twtxt file. however, I think I am going to keep them separate for the time being. let them both grow to serve different purposes.

@prologic@twtxt.net an added benefit of the avatar: would be the user could put their gravatar/libravatar image url like https://key.sour.is/avatar/01bc6186d015218c23dec55447e502e669ca4c61c7566dfcaa1cac256108dff0
@prologic@twtxt.net Could the config be embeded into the head comment of the twtxt.txt file and parsed out? If it also had an avatar: field that pointed to where the avatar image is located it can be almost all self contained.

FOLLOW: @xuu@txt.sour.is from @vain@www.uninformativ.de using twtrd/latest
@hecanjog@hecanjog.com has a twtxt feed yay
@lyxal@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net if we edit the txt file does it update on web?
@prologic@twtxt.net the HKP is http keyserver protocol. it’s what happens when you do gpg --send-keys
makes a POST to the keyserver with your pubkey.
@prologic@twtxt.net looking through the drafts it looks like it actually used SRV records as recently as 2018 😵
@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>
@xuu@txt.sour.is With SRV you can set what hostname to be used (and port/priority/etc)
@xuu@txt.sour.is Not too happy with WKD’s use of CNAME over SRV for discovery of openpgpkey.. That breaks using SNI pretty quick. I suppose it was setup as a temporary workaround anyhow in the RFC..
My twtxt feed is now also part of https://github.com/jointwt/we-are-twtxt :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net also :)
@adi @prologic@twtxt.net One reservation about using it with a small community would be the expectation that the discussions at some level stay within the circle as opposed to the internet at large.
@prologic@twtxt.net @twtxt@txt.sour.is I have noticed that I will get some duplicate web mention notifications. some kind of dedup would be helpful.
Trying out twtxt..

@prologic@twtxt.net (#gqg3gea) ha yeah. COVID makes for a timey-wimey mish-mash. Worked on some WKD and fought with my XMPP client a bit.
@prologic@twtxt.net Herro! 👋
@prologic@twtxt.net well nice chat. it’s off to bed for me.
@prologic@twtxt.net do you think twt will ever add ActivityPub integration?
@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 huh.. true.. the email is md5/sha256 before storing.. if twtxt acted as provider you would store that hash and point the SRV record to the pod. .. to act as a client it would need to store the hash and the server that hosts the image.
@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net something that would be interesting would be libravatar for the user image. i made one that does the same for a profile cover image.
@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net The gpg command line leaves much to be desired…
@prologic@twtxt.net it is some interesting work to decentralize all the things.. tricky part is finding tooling. i am using a self hacked version of the go openpgp library. A tool to add and remove notations would need to be local since it needs your private key.
@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.

This is an OpenPGP proof that connects my OpenPGP key to this Twtxt account. See https://key.sour.is/id/me@sour.is for more.

@prologic@prologic.github.io Could you make the polling of your server a little slower please? Thanks.
@uninformativ@www.uninformativ.de Welcome to Twtxt! Liking your introduction article and your Gopherhole is awesome.
My account at https://twtxt.net was deleted due to a server malfunction, but sysop @prologic@twtxt.net came to the rescue.
Registered to https://twtxt.net and managed to post a reply right before some kind of server error, now my account there is broken 😒
plans for weewiki: a zettelkasten-like interface, a microblogging platform inspired by !twtxt, and some utilities for managing collections of SQLar archives. #updates #halfbakedideas
if you thought emails were great at getting stuff lost, wait til you check out this thing called twtxt
@eli_oat@txt.eli.li happy to be an enabler :) I keep finding new uses for Janet as well! It has proven to be a remarkable extension language for !weewiki.
Hey @prologic@twtxt.net! still figuring out how to reply to people. I’m based in the New England in the US. What about you?
added a twtxt activity section on the !monolith page
A fork of twtxtc, a #twtxt client in C: [[https://github.com/neauoire/twtxtc]] #links
well, I missed my one-year #twtxt anniversary by a few days. yay?
@lucidiot@tilde.town I’ll link it here once I am ready!
@prologic@prologic.github.io I will probably check out twtxt.net later. Can we use it without registering for an account?
@Leo@www.gkbrk.com Sorry to disappoint. I think I have Finger running on my Raspberrypi but didn’t make it public.
Hello Twtxt from a Xubuntu 18.04 machine!
@eli_oat@txt.eli.li thanks for reading my wiki! janet is pretty cool right? happy noodling.
built a little script for looking up IDs in twtxt tweets: !twtxt_search. Going to use it as a way to look up and reference specific tweets in my wiki.
@hjertnes@hjertnes.social are you using emacs as twtxt client or something? does it render the org markup for you into links?
@lucidiot@tilde.town very cool idea! may have to try something like that at some point…
It turns out that fts5 is enabled by default on SQLite! My twtxt2sqlite generator has been updated to use fts5. Now I can do full text search on all my twtxt tweets. I have implemented a related-tweets box in the !twtxt_playground as a proof-of-concept. More info on fts5 can be found at [[https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html]].
documenting my experiments with twtxt/weewiki integration at the !twtxt_playground
here is the script I use to convert my twtxt feed into a SQLite database: !twtxt_sqlite
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
a unique thing I do with my twtxt feed is convert it to a SQLite database. This, combined with the Janet + SQLite scripting abilities available in SQLite, could provide interesting metrics and insights over time.
in particular, twtxt provides timestamps. weewiki doesn’t really track the passage of time. it only wants to be a key/value database with org markup.
made a script that simplifies making twtxt entries. let’s see how well it works…
twtxt ?~L~X https://notiz.blog/t/5cS
Fixed txtnish timeline formatting of hashtags on BSD by installing coreutils and replacing fmt with gfmt in the configuration file #twtxt #txtnish #gnu #bsd
@kas@enotty.dk Using txtnish I am also getting a 403 on https://buckket.org/twtxt.txt
@mdosch@mdosch.de My site has not been crawled since 2018, and trying to add the twtxt file manually did not worked, maybe with an HTML rendering and a link. #WaybackMachine
Note to self: Keep the twtxt.txt file under version control.
Due to the same situation, my original twtxt.txt file was also lost, but since I keep various clients, making a new tweet restored part of it.
Hey @mdosch@mdosch.de Yes, I do. That’s how all royals do this Twtxt thing, I am not the one to be mocked by Harry or Meghan because I have to type while they just yell at the butlers.
Not that I am asking any #twtxt developer to give me that, I am just saying that I am going to build those tools that I want
I can tweet and twtxt from the command line, now I want a popup text area, a simple local Web interface and an Albert/Alfred action to do it without going to the terminal.
Well @freemor@freemor.homelinux.net they way I am serving my content via http and gopher may need some fixing, thanks for the following #twtxt
Do I need to configure txtnish to output the same date format as twtxt? May need to #RTFM
Testing txtnish on my main laptop, neither the original twtxt client nor the js version worked here.
Hello there @mdosch@mdosch.de thanks for the welcome
@kas@enotty.dk My Gopher URL is gopher://oevl.info and my twtxt.txt file is available at gopher://oevl.info/twtxt.txt
Thank you @kas@enotty.dk, I would like to be added to @we_are_twtxt
