If we must stick to hashes for threading, can we maybe make it mandatory to always include a reference to the original twt URL when writing replies?

@prologic@twtxt.net Not sure Iâd attach any if clauses to this. My point is: Every time I see a hash, Iâd like to have a hint as to where to find the corresponding twt.

How LWN is faring in 2025
Just over six years ago, The Economist described the US economy as â the envy of the\âšworldâ. That headline would be unlikely to appear now. The economic
boom referenced in that article feels like a distant memory, markets are
falling, and uncertainty is at an all-time high. Like everybody else, LWN
is affected by the current turbulence in the political and economic
spheres; we expect to get through this period, but there will be some
challenges. â Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If weâre focusing on solving the âmissing rootsâ problems. I would start to think about âclient recommendationsâ. The first recommendation would be:
- Replying to a Twt that has no initial Subject must itself have a Subject of the form (hash; url).
This way itâs a hint to fetching clients that follow B, but not A (in the case of no mentions) that the Subject/Root might (very likely) is in the feed url.

Instead of
(<a href="https://txt.sour.is/search?q=%23123467">#123467</a>) hello foo bar
you would have
(<a href="https://txt.sour.is/search?q=%23123467">#123467</a> http://foo.com/tw.txt) hello foo bar
or maybe even:
(<a href="https://txt.sour.is/search?q=%23123467">#123467</a> 2025-04-30T12:30:31Z http://foo.com/tw.txt) hello foo bar
This would greatly help in reconstructing broken threads, since hashes are obviously unfortunately one-way tickets. The URL/timestamp would not be used for threading, just for discovery of feeds that you donât already follow.
I donât insist on including the timestamp, but having some idea which feed weâre talking about would help a lot.

It isnât that Iâve not considered all the other options on the table (which can still be), itâs just that Iâve made a decision as the project lead that largely helped trigger a rebirth of the use of Twtxt back in July 1 2020.

†Read More
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Agreed, finding the right motivation can be tricky. You sometimes have to torture yourself in order to later then realize, yeah, that was actually totally worth it. Itâs often hard.
I think if you find a project or goal in general that these kids want to achieve, that is the best and maybe only choice with a good chance of positive outcome. I donât know, like building a price scraper, a weather station or whatever. Yeah, these are already too advanced if they never programmed, but you get the idea. If they have something they want to build for themselves for their private life, that can be a great motivator Iâve experienced. Or you could assign âem the task to build their own twtxt client if they donât have any own suitable ideas. :-)
Showing them that you do a lot of your daily work in the shell can maybe also help to get them interested in text-based boring stuff. Or at least break the ice. Lead by example. The more I think about it, the more I believe this to be very important. Thatâs how I still learn and improve from my favorite workmate today in general. Which Iâm very thankful of.

Weâre all old farts. When we started, there werenât a lot of options. But today? Iâd be completely overwhelmed, I think.
Hence, Iâd recommend to start programming with a console program. As for the language, not sure. But Python is probably a good choice
Thatâs what I usually do (when we have young people at work who never really programmed before), but it doesnât really âhitâ them. Theyâve seen so much, crazy graphics, web pages, itâs all fancy.

âtakeawaysâ from its internal retrospective on the recent board
of directors election as an update
to the March blog\âšpost that announced the new members of the board. The election was

Gaza blockade depletes World Food Programme stocks + 1 more story
North Korea confirms sending troops to Russia as a defense pact; Gaza blockade leaves World Food Programme out of supplies, risking starvation for millions. â Read more

@news-minimalist@feeds.twtxt.net so many âgood newsâ, we are âwinningâ big time. I listen to NPR on my way to work, and they were talking about the foot depletion. You could hear the desperation of the people they put on, so incredibly sad. đą

git pull on one of my repos â once every two minutes. This is a very pointless endeavour. I push new code a couple of times per month.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de You better push new code sooner!!
As @bender@twtxt.net says, that sounds like a bot. Iâd just block the IP address, hoping it doesnât change all the time. But then you know for sure that itâs the AI fuckwits.
Also, the devil in me thinks itâs funny to swap out the repo in question for something entirely different. :-D

To the parents or teachers: How do you teach kids to program these days? đ€
†Read More
@xuu@txt.sour.is Hahaha, thatâs cool! You were (and still are) way ahead of me. :-)
We started with a simple traffic light phase and then added pedestrian crossing buttons. But only painting it on the canvas. In our computer room there was an actual traffic light on the wall and at the very end of the school year our IT basics teacher then modified the program to actually control the physical traffic light. That was very impressive and completely out of reach for me at the time. That teacher pulled the first lever for me ending up where I am now.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oi, that has to be a bot. AI bot? Maybe not, but still a bot. I see this becoming more and more of an issue, sorry to sayâŠ

I went on a small hike, just 12-13km this time. The weather was great, blue sky, sunny 18°C, but with the wind it felt colder. Leaves and other green stuff is exploding like crazy. It looks super beautiful right now.

@prologic@twtxt.net Exactly, @bender@twtxt.net! :-D This is at the entrance of a veggie farm (11 & 12) where there are free-ranging kids playing on the road, so people should slow down when driving there to buy some supplies. I also wondered why the sign says âHalt!â instead of âLangsam fahren!â (Drive slowly!) or something like that. On second thought, maybe to actually park there on the street right at the property line.
I actually never walked on that road before and discovered that this was a dead end. Thereâs usually at the very least a foot path on which to continue when passing a farm. Not this time, though. I didnât want to stamp down the high grass to cut across country, so I had to walk back maybe 150 meters. Not too bad.

So far, this isnât causing any issues. I think this is just a regular human being who misconfigured some automation. And I hope this doesnât mean that the âAIâ bots have finally discovered my page âŠ

7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (oops) đ
And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! đ± #Twtxt #Update
@prologic@twtxt.net Can you please draft up a specification for that proposed change with all the details? Such as which date do you actually refer to? Is it now() or the messageâs creation timestamp? I reckon the latter is the case, but itâs undefined right now. Then we can discuss and potentially tweak the proposal.
Also, I see what you did there in regards to the reply model change poll. ]:->
[$] Inline socket-local storage for BPF
Martin Lau gave a talk in the BPF track of the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Summit about a performance problem
plaguing the networking subsystem, and some potential ways to fix it. He works on
BPF programs that need to store socket-local data; amid other improvements to
the networking and BPF subsystems, retrieving that data has become a noticeable
bottleneck for his use case. His proposed fix prompted a good deal of discussion
about how the data should be laid out ⊠â Read more

And speaking of Twtxt (See: #xushlda, feeds should be treated as append-only. Your client(s) should be appending Twts to the bottom of the file. Edits should never modify the timestamp of the Twt being edited, nor should a Twt that was edited by deleted, unless you actually intended to delete it (but thatâs more complicated as itâs very hard to control or tell clients what to do in a truely decentralised ecosystem for the deletion case). #Twtxt #Client #Recommendations
