sad because your world is ending. my world was ending before i was born. take a load off and smoke this j, we were all going to die anyway. that’s just life ^^

i think AP is doomed by its complexity. i want things like the fedi to exist, but they have to be a fuck lot more simpler if there’s ever going to be a big big pile of indie server options that can easily be mutated to suit every group individually. shit like twtxt and gemini gives me hope because they are small enough to fuck with in very small bursts and still get somewhere.

i’m going to be honest with you here: i despise protocol labs. IPFS/FileCoin is a scam. fuck that shit.

these billionaires are fucking stupid. they think they can own space, but once they get workers up there its just a matter of time before stations start going rogue and breaking out of corporate / earth control.

done enough to share i reckon. lots of behind the scenes stuff going on, but i think the basic shape of the thing is there. #micronation https://novoatlantis.nyu.tokyo

When tragedy strikes unexpectedly we cannot just go on as if nothing happened. Our minds need to be given time to deal with the blow. So it is necessary to pause and allow ourselves to process and recover.

A beloved colleague passed away after a terrible car accident a couple of days ago. Thoughts go to her family and colleagues.

the ‘yeet jeffy b into space’ petition is going really well. sign now if you haven’t! https://www.change.org/p/the-proletariat-do-not-allow-jeff-bezos-to-return-to-earth?utm_content=FuckOff&recruiter=852121435&recruited_by_id=8453d7e9-a325-47cd-ac4f-5d30eee874c6&utm_source=FuckOff&utm_medium=FuckOff&utm_campaign=FuckOff

Entirely sensible, & no reason for file storage to match the wire format. I’m just really curious what’s going on on macOS! I can test on hfs+ later.

this entertainment news stream that i’ve been working on has served the dual-purpose of giving me more information to work with to point out systemic flaws that nobody will ever admit exist. i think using an entertainment medium to talk about these ideas is good because its never going to be about winning an argument. we are presenting information in a fun way for the sake of education. a lot of western people are (possibly intentionally) ignorant of their genocidal history and practices that often continue to this day. there is a lot of injustice propping up western hegemony that must be answered for. there is a lot of organizing to do to provide adequate resources to the people that western culture continually treads on. to bring back the beauty that the white man keeps trying to burn down, suppress, or kill in the name of economic progress. https://www.twitch.tv/LeftistsFiteLeftists

we need a fundamentally different way of being it seems. society is broken and wrong and a lot of people are going to die because of that.

now advocating to use way more energy to preserve species that are threatened by climate change. if we aren’t going to head this thing off, might as well lean into deregulation and use nukes to save vital plant and animal species.

I had a Pleroma node up for a little bit. It sort of died for some reason a few months later because its resource usage kept going up.

I keep going back ‘n’ forth on whether to experiment with Pleroma on my Pi. :-) A Tildes post on the sad news that Feneas is struggling has rekindled the fire, oddly. I just like knowing, first-hand, what’s involved in running these services; I feel it makes me a better yarn.social advocate. ^⨰^

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @adi@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Awesome man! Welcome to the Go coding for work club!

Just over a week left to apply to Summer of Code. Plan 9 is in there, and ~200 other good orgs. Go apply and tell students you know. https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/

going all 32bit with my 9grid, who even needs more than 32 bits?

Sure. I think search, if it’s going to exist, should be the client’s responsibility. But I also value the readability of the raw twtxt file a lot more than y’all do.

We built a wind powered vehicle designed to go directly downwind - faster than the wind. This is the second run of our first outing. We intended these first attempts only as shakeout runs. But we ended up doing better than our ultimate goal of twice windspeed. As a result, we’ve now set our goal at 3X windspeed. https://vimeo.com/10477373

we need like 3-5x more space organizations lifting stuff and developing tech for long-term space travel. jeffy b and the muskrat don’t cut it. are we really going to let imperials take the first serious steps into space?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org (#hut4mnq) I am so sorry for you. I left my Java job for Go. Though through “restructuring” its become a Python job.

i’m most interested in systems that are meant to stay small enough for folks to go build their own clients and servers easily and without big teams.

very happy to see progress on this front, i would love to use this as an opprotunity to go over my nawat learning materials again and copy them into a textual format using the new maya unicode allocations when they are ready

counterpoint: it is now the year 2021. if folk were going to develop any infosec hygiene regarding the web browsers they’d have done it by now. ~djsundog

Go 1.16 is released ⌘ Read more…

I’m unclear if I’m going to do the twtxt.net discovery protocol; neither my web server nor Plan 9’s default capture agent strings. :-/

@prologic@twtxt.net Looks like twtxt.net is already happy with it, so that’s good! I’m just going to aim for that.

Hey @xuu@txt.sour.is another mention that didn’t render ☝️

@thewismit@twtxt.psynergy.io Hey! It’s easy. Just install the twt CLI with something like:

go get github.com/jointwt/twtxt/cmd/twt/...

Then use it in some hooks/scripts to post some content to your Pod.

Really looking forward to the release of Go 1.16

@darch@twtxt.net I gotta say man I really love your passion! 🤗 hopefully we can all figure out a good branding for the project going forward 👌

I just built a poc search engine / crawler for Twtxt. I managed to crawl this pod (twtxt.net) and a couple of others (sorry @etux@twt.u53.us and @xuu@txt.sour.is I used your pods in the tests too!). So far so good. I might keep going with this and see what happens 😀

@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

@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.

@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.

So excited for Go embedded files. https://golangtutorial.dev/tips/embed-files-in-go/

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).

@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 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.

@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.

Going to have my head shaved on 2020-09-26 for charity. Info

Doubtless, we’ve been through this So if you want to follow me you should know I was lost then and I’m lost now And I doubt I’ll ever know which way to go

Still on stay - cation. I love the magic of this place.. I’m going for a walk with dog to clear my head

Going to have to read Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark - Being human in the age of Artificial Intelligence

I’m going to call all “apps” programs again as part of my retro-computing experience.

Going to see Terminator Dark Fate next tuesday - somewhat big expectations

Some pretty cool stuff going on here: https://standardsmanual.com

@kas@enotty.dk I’m going to make that part of my prompt.

@mdom@domgoergen.com its just here in my apartment for the time being. Im going to bring it to a hackathon next month.
