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.

I think Im going to give up on RaspBSD for now and just get this thing working with Debian.

I just orderd a Pi 3 from Adafruit. Im going to run a tiny, headless FreeBSD box.
