I realized my twtxt client isn’t validating what it pulls once it gets a valid response when a domain started returning js-heavy parking pages for every URL. Oops. Weekend project, I guess. 🤦🏻

@prologic@twtxt.net @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com I often see messages longer than what the textbox limit is, isn’t it limited by the maxlenght?, I found a workaround by writing from Goryon on mobile, on PC i can simply change the limit with the inspector but isn’t it there for a reason?

I too would like to express a bit more if possible, especially if i have to refer to users and link URLs and images for example, having a limit that isn’t too much of a limit is kind of pointless i think. 🤔

In-reply-to » For instance I normally use the same RSA key/pair on all my workstations for my ssh client, because that's me, no-matter where I am. The only exception to this rule is I usually create a separate key for any "work" / " company" I am a part of.

@prologic@twtxt.net I have seen single use keys that are signed by a central PKI .. Keybase has one that uses a chatbot to generate the keys on the fly.

It just comes down to your threat model :)

@prologic@twtxt.net Re: Chat system, What if the base specification included a system for per-user arbitrary JSON storage on the server? Kind of like XEP-0049, but expanded upon. Two kinds of objects: public and private. Public objects can be queried by anyone, private objects cannot and must be encrypted with the user’s private key. Public keys could be stored there, as well as anything else defined by extensions. Roster, user block list, avatar, etc.

In-reply-to » Another day, another 5m outage 🤬

@prologic@twtxt.net

Not sure if Starlink satellites are in orbit around/over Australia yet, but I wouldn’t go with that option anyway due to the latency alone.

I believe it is being trialled in some places in Aus already. I will admit, I’ve been signed up for the beta for a while and it’s supposed to be coming to my area sometime in 2022, though that may be delayed due to the chip shortage stuff.

I think the latency is supposed to be 45-60ms on average, which while not as good as fixed line obviously, is leagues better than old fashioned high orbit satellite broadband which is about 600~ms.
