@prologic@twtxt.net nick is skinshafi and domain is aelaraji.com 🫡

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com So, what’s your salty addr? I tried to guess it by doing a lookup, but I guess I didn’t guess right 😅

@prx@si3t.ch If you were to read this, I would’ve suggested that you gave Podman a try… alas, you won’t.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Much appreciated!! 🙏 I’ll go through the files and see if I can understand any of it. I might learn a thing or two along the way.

@prologic@twtxt.net would you please check my web interface? is that a normal thing or am I missing something?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Of course! 🤣 @xuu@txt.sour.is and I run saltyd 😅

@2024-10-09T08:11:00Z@twtxt.net It an easy way of twt-adressing by using the timestamp instead of a nick, which is arbitrary anyhow. Just my suggestion for a new reply-model ;)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk curious why you at mentioned a timestamp? 🤔

New post (mostly follow-up on the previous with a few new points) on the twtxt v2 discussion. http://a.9srv.net/b/2024-10-08

@prologic@twtxt.net currently? it wouldnt :D.

we would need to come up with a way of registering with multiple brokers that can i guess forward to a reader broker. something that will retry if needed. need to read into how simplex handles multi brokers

@bender@twtxt.net 🤣

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Agree. salty.im should allow the user to post multiple brokers on their webfinger so the client can find a working path.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt What do you think of when you say “decentralized”?

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt salty.im needs a lot more work 🤞it is however designed to be 1000% decentralized 👌

@3r1c@3r1c.net I think I’m gonna like that blog. 😅 https://unixdigest.com/articles/is-the-madness-ever-going-to-end.html

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i’m sorry if I sound too contrarian. I’m not a fan of using an obscure hash as well. The problem is that of future and backward compatibility. If we change to sha256 or another we don’t just need to support sha256. But need to now support both sha256 AND blake2b. Or we devide the community. Users of some clients will still use the old algorithm and get left behind.

Really we should all think hard about how changes will break things and if those breakages are acceptable.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Hmm that is worth trying. It is the same base Firefox I guess 🤔

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Wouldn’t it be possible to use it with your older FF profile? smt like this ?

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yep seems alright! Really fast too. I’m still using my main Firefox in general cos.. well it’s set up so much and it’s hardened, profile running in RAM, all that crazy stuff that got it working the way I want 😂

But keeping a good eye on Zen Browser’s progress.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Pretend I’m Leonardo.

/ME slow claps…

@fastidious@tilde.town @movq@www.uninformativ.de hehe’ Howdy!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de because sometimes resurrecting the dormant is worth it. Hello! :-)

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com LOL. I am everywhere! :-P

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, sad, convoluted, dangerous state of affairs for just about everyone. :-(

@bender@twtxt.net Not yet! the prompt said the requests are treated manually and that it could take up to 30 days.

@bender@twtxt.net yeah I know, I treat these like the RSS ones. I’m OK with them being one-ways as long as they don’t get Spammy.

@3r1c@3r1c.net 🤔 Interesting! I was thinking about doing something like this in Rofi, now I can just play with this one.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m sure you can somehow install something that calculates blake2b on OpenBSD. But it’s not part of the base system as a standalone CLI tool, there only appear to be Perl modules for it. The other SHA tools do exist.

@prologic@twtxt.net I wanted to wait for things to settle down. It’s still unclear to me in which direction we’re going – and if that new/different stuff is even possible to implement in jenny. That said, I’ve been really busy with private stuff these last few days, I’ve lost track of most of what you’re discussing. 🥴

If we stuck with Blake2b for Twt Hash(es); what do we think we need to reasonably go to in bit length/size?

=> https://gist.mills.io/prologic/194993e7db04498fa0e8d00a528f7be6

e.g: (turns out @xuu@txt.sour.is is right about Blak2b being easy/simple too!):

$ printf "%s\t%s\t%s" "https://example.com/twtxt.txt" "2024-09-29T13:30:00Z" "Hello World!" | b2sum -l 32 -t | awk '{ print $1 }'

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net I gave it a try, unfortunately it’s a scanned document (just a bundle of Images), the only real text in there, is the first two pages.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’d love it if you write up a page for jenny 🙏 at https://twtxt.dev 🤞

@prologic@twtxt.net I got tricked tow times in row 🥲

@fastidious@tilde.town Wait! I do know you! 😅

@fastidious@tilde.town Yeah, I gave it a try, now I’ll just wait. BTW, Your Nick rings a bell! I probably do remember it from reading old twts 👋 Happy getting to you here!

@prologic@twtxt.net I think printf is a more portable option than echo -e for interpreting \t as tab. E.g. printf ‘%s\t%s\t%s’ “$url” “$time” “$text”. In general I always prefer printf over echo for anything non-trivial in unix shell scripts. See last paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_(command)#History

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com easy as cake to get and
account here. Very reliable too!

@bender@twtxt.net Yes! tilde.town is next on my list if I don’t get a response in… too long.

@bender@twtxt.net I can always edit my twt and correct my Oopsie xD Would that make him happier?

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You are correct, but I ended up switching to /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp as suggested by @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt in (#66py4ja). there must have been a reason why that file was placed in /tmp/ in the first place, I just don’t know my way around python that much to figure it out 😅.

You proud daddy!? My twt is exactly 140 characters! 😂😂😂

@sorenpeter@darch.dk oh, I thought we were settled on TABs for a while now, weren’t we? 🤔 The new website mentions TABs too. The command echo -e (on any shell?) will use \t for them.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org what are you building now? The things you are mentioning I couldn’t even start wrapping my head around them! 😅 They sure sound expensive, tough.

Thanks @david@collantes.us, good to know, but we need to agree on what character we use, otherwise the hashes will not be the same:)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk a TAB is simply \t. Just add it to that echo line, and that’s it.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com You could just remove the {getuser()} part because you added ~.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt No.

iirc in twtxt v2 it starts prohibited

This is not true. There are no issues supporting fetching feeds via Gemini/Gopher. This is totally fine. What will likely happen is “recommendations” and “drawbacks of using Gemini/Gopher”

Ok, i know how to command working (not sure), but seems it only grab from cache. Maybe make fetch from twtxt.net if hash not found?
