@andros@twtxt.andros.dev nos comparte su artículo “twtxt, la red social en texto plano, descentralizada y minimalista”
I would like to share my lastest article about #twtxt on my blog: https://programadorwebvalencia.com/twtxt-la-red-social-en-texto-plano-descentralizada-y-minimalista/ . Attention! It is a Spanish
ES enrichment… À lire. https://glue.ghost.io/leveraging-threat-intel-for-event-enrichment-in-security-onion/
I’ve been making a little toy operating system for the 8086 in the last few days. Now that was a lot of fun!
I don’t plan on making that code public. This is purely a learning project for myself. I think going for real-mode 8086 + BIOS is a good idea as a first step. I am well aware that this isn’t going anywhere – but now I’ve gained some experience and learned a ton of stuff, so maybe 32 bit or even 64 bit mode might be doable in the future? We’ll see.
It provides a syscall interface, can launch processes, read/write files (in a very simple filesystem).
Here’s a video where I run it natively on my old Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop (and Warp 3 later in the video, because why not):

(Sorry for the skewed video. It’s a glossy display and super hard to film this.)
It starts with the laptop’s boot menu and then boots into the kernel and launches a shell as PID 1. From there, I can launch other processes (anything I enter is a new process, except for the exit at the end) and they return the shell afterwards.
And a screenshot running in QEMU:

beautiful day out. the holiday distance classic was today too it turns out so plenty of runners to run with on the way back in. did pretty much 5km intervals. did not realize it but could have possibly broke my PB in the half marathon… oh well, great run!

Props to you if you can easily spot the scrollbar in this picture:
@prologic@twtxt.net Yes! then there was this fun breaker of an article but hey, I ain’t doing it for security 😆 so I’ll just keep on keeping on.
@prologic@twtxt.net I’m scratching my head already trying to figure this one out 🤣 not sure if just mirroring ldd’s output into my image’s content would do, -I’ve Just found about that one by the way.- but I’ll never know until I try.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yes building OCI images with no userland to speak of is great isn’t it 🤣
@bender@twtxt.net Dud! you should see the updated version! 😂 I have just discovered the scratch #container image and decided I wanted to play with it… I’m probably going to end up rebuilding a LOT of images.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Looks fun. Also kind of looks like APL and Forth had a baby on Jupyter.
@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Hello!
@kh1b@kh1b.org Welcome to twtxt!
@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, nice! :-D This is the real one today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2024-12-20/01.jpg It was a bit more intense some minutes ago, though.
Moin @arne@uplegger.eu, herzlich willkommen! Ich bin gerade auf https://uplegger.eu/blog/popelfinger gestoßen und war sofort sehr begeistert. :-D Mal sehen, ob ich die anderen an einem der Feiertage davon überzeugt bekomme, das mal auszuprobieren. :-)
Sunset: 
No, of course not. This is the gingerbread in the oven with my digicam’s sunset program. The second photo shows the colors more like they are in reality. It surprises me every year how absolutely sticky this dough is. Holy cow! Close to impossible to spread it evenly in the baking tray. https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/lebkuchen-2024-12-20/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! Yep, 14 is a house martin tower: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwalbenhaus There are a few around here, although most of these nesting boxes are actually not on dedicated towers, but attached at the roof overhangs of private houses.
@prologic@twtxt.net maybe you meant to specify twtxt as a type similar to ActivityPub’s application/activity+json in https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=sorenpeter@norrebro.space
{
"rel": "self",
"type": "application/activity+json",
"href": "https://norrebro.space/users/sorenpeter"
},
Then it would also make sense to define a Link Relations but should that then link to something like https://twtxt.dev/webfinger.html where we can describe the spec?

@prologic@twtxt.net Well I just mirrored yarnd’s JSON in my webfinger endpoint and lookup, so not much else to do for standardization.
And for people who don’t like PHP you can always just go with Added WebFinger support to my email address using one rewrite rule and one static file. or simply putting a static JSON in place for .well-know/webfinger
@movq@www.uninformativ.de omg its like haskell but with more monads.

I think we could discuss on implementation details like URLs and Handles.
@nick@nick (Masto/Yarn style)
vs
@nick.eapl.me and @eapl.me (Bsky style)
I see, for example, that yarn shows my account as @eapl.me@eapl.me which looks ‘weird’ although it’s not wrong since my domain and my nick are the same. Honestly I like more the Bsky approach as in https://bsky.app/profile/eapl.me for @eapl.me, as when you look for https://eapl.me, it’s my home page.
Also, I didn’t get it completely if you are also proposing a URL standard using subdomains, like https://nick.domain.tls. I only want to point out that these are more difficult to handle from shared hostings, so I’d prefer to also allow https://domain.tls/nick/
after thinking and researching about it, yep, I agree that WebFinger is a good idea.
For example reading here: https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial
I wasn’t considering some scenarios, like multiple accounts for a single domain (See ‘How can I set and manage multiple subdomain handles?’ in the link above)

For Example:
@prologic@twtxt.net optional features don’t gain adoption from non-technical users. This needs to be built in.
@eapl.me@eapl.me why not https://domain.com/.well-known/twtxt/:domain/:user ?
the business card test is this can you write it on your business card and have someone you give it to be able to figure it out without added context?
- phone number: yes because everyone knows what a phone number is.
- email address: yes, everyone knows an email and their aol or prodigy will let them email.
- twitter/x/insta/pintrest handle: no, whats a twitter? do i need to sign up?
- domain name: yes its simple and you just type it in a browser right?
- twtxt url: kinda? its a bit long and is that a forward slash? or a backward slash?
@xuu@txt.sour.is is there anything stopping in clients from supporting this as an optional feature?

since twtxt is based on text files, I think you can consider @domain.tld as an alias of http://domain.com/twtxt.txt (or https://domain.com/tw.txt, among other combinations in the wild).
Or perhaps you can use DNS TXT records?
Although I think that’s a bit more complicated for some environments and users, I’d go with looking for a default /tw*.txt
One benefit with bluesky is your username is also a website. And not a clunky URL with slashes and such. I wish twtxt adopted that. I have advocated for webfinger to for twtxt to let us do something like it with usernames. Nostr has something like it
By default the bsky.social urls all redirect to their feeds like: hmpxvt.bsky.social
Many custom urls will redirect to some kind of linktree or just their feed cwebonline.com or la.bonne.petite.sour.is or if you are a major outlet just to your web presence like https://theonion.com or https://netflix.com
Its just good SEO practice
Do all nostr addresses take you to the person if typed into a browser? That is the secret sauce.
No having to go to some random page first. no accounts. no apps to install. just direct to the person.
