going all 32bit with my 9grid, who even needs more than 32 bits?

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

@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.

Done with the workout of today, 2 more to go and I have finished the 21 days program

@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/

Well, that’s what this series is going to be about. How, what you think the universe is and how you react to that, in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes.And that is as true for the whole of society as it is for the individual. We all are what we all know today. What we knew yesterday was different. And so were we. The day the Universe changed

Somebody apparently once went up the the great philosopher Wittgenstein and said “What a lot of morons people back in the Middle Ages must have been to have looked every morning at what’s going on behind me now, the dawn, and to have thought that what they were seeing was the sun going around the Earth, when as every schoolkid knows the Earth goes around the sun and it doesn’t take too many brains to understand that.” To which Wittgenstein replied, “Yeah, but I wonder what it would have looked like if the Sun had been going around the Earth.” Point being, of course, is that it would have looked exactly the same. swans on tea » You See What Your Knowledge Tells You You’re Seeing

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.

Since you cannot go back in time to change the past, forgiveness is about giving up the hope of a different or better yesterday. It relates to forgiving actions that were taken, that gave you the feelings of loss of control over your happiness. It’s about acknowledging those things that another did or said that caused pain and making the decision that you are not going to let that hurt or control you anymore. Forgiveness can be very empowering. It can give you the chance to be free of another person’s emotional control. It has nothing to do with the other person. As was said before, it is something that is for you and you alone.” Why forgiving someone else is about you | Hacker News
