@prologic@twtxt.net 👋 I can take a stab at it when I am done with the changes I am working on.

@prologic@twtxt.net my bad.. my next one is more fun.

@xuu@txt.sour.is Just saw your PR, Thanks! I think I’ve covered that change already in master 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net I see.. so using an ec25519 key as identity? and some kind of certificate to define the location of a feed? or maybe a DHT like Kademlia? TwTorrent ;)

@prologic@twtxt.net kinda like how MX records work.

@prologic@twtxt.net My thoughts on it being if they switched from a different way of hosting the file or multiple locations for redundancy..

I have an idea of using something like SRV records where they can define weighted url endpoints to reach.

@prologic@twtxt.net just an off the wall question about hashes. why not use the time+message as it was in the original twtxt.txt file? is it because it’s just not store anyplace?

also how set in stone is using user+url? vs user@domain? the latter would mean the url could change without invalidating the hash.

@prologic@twtxt.net when i get the code up to a shareable level ill ping with what i have.

@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 yeah I do.

It seems a bit wonky that it imports from your packages in some places. I’m guessing that’s some legacy bits that need updates?

@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.

@lyxal@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net yah. the service can have a flag for allowing non-TLS for development. but by default ignores.

are there some users that use alternative protos for twtxt? like ftp/gopher/dnsfs 🤔

My latest work over the last few days. a twtxt parser. so far looking promising. Faster and less memory than the regex version. 😁

@prologic@twtxt.net @lyxal@twtxt.net blocking http would be a good start

@admin @lyxal@twtxt.net hax?

@prologic@twtxt.net ❤️

@prologic@twtxt.net an added benefit of the avatar: would be the user could put their gravatar/libravatar image url like https://key.sour.is/avatar/01bc6186d015218c23dec55447e502e669ca4c61c7566dfcaa1cac256108dff0

@prologic@twtxt.net Could the config be embeded into the head comment of the twtxt.txt file and parsed out? If it also had an avatar: field that pointed to where the avatar image is located it can be almost all self contained.

@lyxal@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net if we edit the txt file does it update on web?

@prologic@twtxt.net the HKP is http keyserver protocol. it’s what happens when you do gpg --send-keys

makes a POST to the keyserver with your pubkey.

@prologic@twtxt.net looking through the drafts it looks like it actually used SRV records as recently as 2018 😵

@prologic@twtxt.net Web Key Directory: a way to self host your public key. instead of using a central system like pgp.mit.net or OpenPGP.org you have your key on a server you own.

it takes an email@address.com hashes the part before the @ and turns it into [openpgpkey.]address.com/.well-known/openpgpkey[/address.com]/<hash>

@xuu@txt.sour.is With SRV you can set what hostname to be used (and port/priority/etc)

@xuu@txt.sour.is Not too happy with WKD’s use of CNAME over SRV for discovery of openpgpkey.. That breaks using SNI pretty quick. I suppose it was setup as a temporary workaround anyhow in the RFC..

@prologic@twtxt.net also :)

@adi @prologic@twtxt.net One reservation about using it with a small community would be the expectation that the discussions at some level stay within the circle as opposed to the internet at large.

@prologic@twtxt.net @twtxt@txt.sour.is I have noticed that I will get some duplicate web mention notifications. some kind of dedup would be helpful.

@prologic@twtxt.net () ha yeah. COVID makes for a timey-wimey mish-mash. Worked on some WKD and fought with my XMPP client a bit.

@prologic@twtxt.net Herro! 👋

@prologic@twtxt.net well nice chat. it’s off to bed for me.

@prologic@twtxt.net do you think twt will ever add ActivityPub integration?

@prologic@twtxt.net Yep! installed it yesterday. I like the simplicity of twt. I am quite happy with how little memory the pod seems to use. Mastodon and the “lightweight” Pleroma don’t work well in small VMs.

@prologic@twtxt.net

That way at least we can form some kind of cryptographic “identity” without having to involve the users that much, it just works™

i like some of the work that keys.pub is doing with ed25519 crypto keys with something like that.

@prologic@twtxt.net huh.. true.. the email is md5/sha256 before storing.. if twtxt acted as provider you would store that hash and point the SRV record to the pod. .. to act as a client it would need to store the hash and the server that hosts the image.

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net something that would be interesting would be libravatar for the user image. i made one that does the same for a profile cover image.

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net The gpg command line leaves much to be desired…

@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.

This is an OpenPGP proof that connects my OpenPGP key to this Twtxt account. See https://key.sour.is/id/me@sour.is for more.

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh snap. that’s what i get for copy paste! ill just have to repost and update my key.

@xuu@txt.sour.is can i notify myself?

@prologic@twtxt.net this is a very curious project. I would love to see how it manages to do its federation between pods.

Who am I kidding, quit twtxt? too addictive. Good night twtxt

@prologic@prologic.github.io Could you make the polling of your server a little slower please? Thanks.

@uninformativ@www.uninformativ.de Welcome to Twtxt! Liking your introduction article and your Gopherhole is awesome.

Thinkin I might quit twtxt and gemini, tidy up a bit,just use tilde club web, or gopher.

twtxt, I saw a Renault 5 today, it passed my home, its indicator was flashing… sacre bleu… you don’t see a R5 every day
