Finally I propose that we increase the Twt Hash length from

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) š
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! š± #Twtxt #Update
I also fundamentally do not believe in the notion that Twtxt should be readable and writable by humans. Weāve thrown this āargumentā around in support of some of the proposals, and I just donāt buy it (sorry). As an analogy, nobody writes Email by hand and transmits them to mail servers vai SMTP by hand. We use tools to do this. Twtxt/Yarn should be the same IMO.
Nobody writes emails by hand using RFC 5322 anymore, nor do we manually send them through telnet and SMTP commands. The days of crafting emails in raw format and dialing into servers are long gone. Modern email clients and services handle it all seamlessly in the background, making email easier than ever to send and receiveāwithout needing to understand the protocols or formats behind it! #Email #SMTP #RFC #Automation

hey yarn pod hosting friends, how do i enable an SMTP relay in the env settings? i'm trying to get a friend on here and i'm pretty sure my env config is good but it won't send emails even after restarts which is strange. i have the right hostname for mailjet, user and pass are in there, same with from address, i'm wondering if the port is messing it up bc it has to send from 587?

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz wondering if the smtp_host variable is expecting something other than just the mailjet hostnameā¦
hey yarn pod hosting friends, how do i enable an SMTP relay in the env settings? iām trying to get a friend on here and iām pretty sure my env config is good but it wonāt send emails even after restarts which is strange. i have the right hostname for mailjet, user and pass are in there, same with from address, iām wondering if the port is messing it up bc it has to send from 587?
Diving into mblaze, I think Iāve nearly* reached peek email geek.
Just a bunch of shell commands I can pipe together to search, list, view and reply to email (after syncing it to a local Maildir).
EXAMPLES at https://git.vuxu.org/mblaze/tree/README
So far Iām using most of the tools directly from the command line, but I might take inspiration from https://sr.ht/~rakoo/omail/ to make my workflow a bit more efficient.
*To get any closer, I think Iād have to hand-craft my own SMTP client or something.
@prologic@twtxt.net I do similar. Though probably much more simple.. I have CGNAT and use wireguard to VMs to punch through for stuff like HTTP/SSH from external.
And for SMTP I have smart hosts on the VMs that will store anf forward to my mailbox if the connection goes down.
@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.
