this web discourse is pretty hilarious, time to stop checking twtxt.net tho XD i can just stick to my own subs ^^

mfw alternative web = the same web, but good XD XD XD XD

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. :-/

My silly Plan 9 rc twtxt client now has a web page: http://txtpunk.com/tw/index.html

@prologic@twtxt.net @thewismit@blog.thewismit.com () Ya I get that error a lot. I mostly use the web on mobile as a result.

Signal Status

Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible.

One thing I’d like to have one day (and it would be nice if it were integrated into twtxt.net and other pods with a familiar and pleasant user experience on Desktop, Web and Mobile) is an e2e encrypted messaging that is self-hosted and federated that doesn’t suck operationally (so many complicated solutions that exist that are hard to setup even for a Senior DevOps/SRE)

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

@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>

@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 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.

Can I interest you in the latest edition of Tales From The Dork Web when it’s about Gopher, Gemini and The Smol Internet? https://thedorkweb.substack.com/p/gopher-gemini-and-the-smol-internet

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

The Mozilla layoffs are really worrying me about the future of the Web.

Since a couple of months on peer-to-peer Web and I’m really convinced that as long as isps do not start messing with firewalls, this could really be the next step in a real Internet of humans.

That Twitter admin hack shows how important it is to own our own online content and even our own platforms for posting on the Web. Want to learn more? Make yourself a cup of your favorite drink and have a look at https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started

Discovered some new twtxt followers by glancing at my web server logs.. Feeling so l33t now.
