@prologic@twtxt.net How does yarn.social’s API fix the problem of centralization? I still need to know whose API to use.
Say I see a twt beginning (#hash) and I want to look up the start of the thread. Is the idea that if that twt is hosted by a a yarn.social pod, it is likely to know the thread start, so I should query that particular pod for the hash? But what if no yarn.social pods are involved?
The community seems small enough that a registry server should be able to keep up, and I can have a couple of others as backups. Or I could crawl the list of feeds followed by whoever emitted the twt that prompted my query.
I have successfully used registry servers a little bit, e.g. to find a feed that mentioned a tag I was interested in. Was even thinking of making my own, if I get bored of my too many other projects :-)
/post) on either the POST or the GET 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry, my messages don’t get included in the current convo unless I tag you. Guess something gets lossed in translation with this weird posting issue. ANYWAY, it is rather perplexing. Clearly only an issue on my Pod, but what could the source of it be 🤔
I wonder if anyone got that as a replay 🥲 I tried and copied thread’s tag from twtxt.net
Added support for #tag clouds and #search to timeline. Based on code from @dfaria.eu@dfaria.eu🙏

More basement:
I completely forgot that DVD-RAM was a thing once. Found my old disks and they still work. 🤯 The data on them is from 2008, so they’re not that old. Still impressive.
The disks are two-sided. On the photo, that particular side of the disk on the left appears to be completely unused. 🤔
And then I read on Wikipedia that DVD-RAMs aren’t produced anymore at all today. Huh.
(I refuse to tag this as “retrocomputing”. Read/write DVDs that you can use just like a harddisk, thanks to UDF, are still “new and fancy” in my book. 😂)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org its a hierarchy key value format. I designed it for the network peering tools i use.. I can grant access to different parts of the tree to other users.. kinda like directory permissions. a basic example of the format is:
@namespace
# multi
# line
# comment
root :value
# example space comment
@namespace.name space-tag
# attribute comments
attribute attr-tag :value for attribute
# attribute with multiple
# lines of values
foo :bar
:bin
:baz
repeated :value1
repeated :value2
each @ starts the definition of a namespace kinda like [name] in ini format. It can have comments that show up before. then each attribute is key :value and can have their own # comment lines.
Values can be multi line.. and also repeated..
the namespaces and values can also have little meta data tags added to them.

the service can define webhooks/mqtt topics to be notified when the configs are updated. That way it can deploy the changes out when they are updated.
What about using the blockquote format with > ?
Snippet from someone else’s post
by: @eapl.me@eapl.me
Would it not also make sense to have the repost be a reply to the original post using the (#twthash), and maybe using a tag like #repost so it eaier to filter them out?
with this, now all tags I follow are read in sfeed rss reader: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/followed_tags/
OMG, I discovered there are rss feeds of tags on mastodon, i.e. https://im-in.space/tags/cybersecurity.rss \o/

An option would be to have /twtxt.txt be the base functionality as bukket intended without subject tags, markdown, images and such truncated to 140 chars. a /yarn.txt that has all the extentions as we know and love. and maybe a /.well-known/webfinger + (TBD endpoint) that adds on the crypto enhancements that further extend things.
Anyone know what this might be about?

Tutorial: Getting started with generics - The Go Programming Language – Okay @xuu@txt.sour.is I quite like Go’s generics now 🤣 After going through this myself I like the semantics and the syntax. I’m glad they did a lot of work on this to keep it simple to both understand and use (just like the rest of Go) 👌

ChatGPT is good, but it’s not that good 🤣 I asked it to write a program in Go that performs double ratcheting and well the code is total garbage 😅 – Its only as good as the inputs it was trained on 🤣 #OpenAI #GPT3

@eldersnake@yarn.andrewjvpowell.com There isn’t an equivalent for those because:
Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of HTML tags.
You can read more of its philosophy at Daring Fireball. There are enhancements to Markdown (CommonMark, for example), that add extra to it.
@adi@f.adi.onl Yes, it did—at least I don’t see the same issue as before on twtxt.net. Weird, as it was never an issue on other pods. 🤷🏻♂️
@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Hmm… the empty line needs to be left alone.
@prologic@twtxt.net should we enable all unicode glyphs for tags? https://txt.sour.is/conv/55yrura
and the some text and a #tag
@xuu@txt.sour.is Is this of any use? https://libretranslate.com/ – Congrats on the new job!
@prologic@twtxt.netYes, I think tags should just be #foo, and let the client figure out searching if it cares.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yes, I often read the raw messages. But more to the point, the simplicity of the format is the bulk of the appeal.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de No argument that threading is an improvement. But I think (#hash) does that, and I think figuring out how to search should mostly be up to the client.
I don’t have any issue with the (foo) subjects, it’s the proliferation of the (foo url) tags. They’re just too long and ugly.
@prologic@twtxt.net I’ve just never had it be a rewarding experience.
@prologic@twtxt.net rc, the Plan 9 shell.
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.
@prologic@twtxt.net speaking of complexity.. How would checking twts for sub conversations complexify things?
but if we kept things simple stupid I how would the poor little darlings in middle-management have a job? 😂
@xuu@txt.sour.is Speak of lang… Do you think we could detect the user’s lang by what they write? Probably just inspect a random subset?
💁♂️ If you’re ever on a UNIX machine of some kind without any useful networking utilities like ip or ifconfig, fear now! You can view the network topology of the Kernel by just doing:
cat /proc/net/fib_trie
@prologic@twtxt.net yep. it actually extracts everything at parse time. like mentions/tags/links/media. so they can be accessed and manipulated without additional parsing. it can then be output as MarkDown
@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.
@oevl@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net (#) for the most part a subject is just the content in the perens. Usually it’s a tag. It appears near the start after any mentions. It can also contain text like (re: subjects)
@deadguy @prologic@twtxt.net been stewing on a discovery proto for twtxt. support for defining multiple ways to host/mirror a twtxt file. while being low tech enough to still be scriptable with basic Unix commands.
@prologic@twtxt.net (#keh22ka) maybe a custom linking method on a pod level? like can pass a template that gets translated. ex https://{domain}/wiki/{nick}/{tag} + !somepage -> https://sour.is/wiki/xuu/somepage
@prologic@twtxt.net do you have any info on how the ‘!’ tags are supposed to work? are they just a different kind of hash tag?
@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.
@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..
Building docker image with name and tag …
