@andros@twtxt.andros.dev hmmm… pretty strange, isn’t it? replaying to threads worked perfectly, I’ve only had that problem trying to replay to a twt that was part of a thread.

As an example, this one is a Fork-Replay from Jenny. My next twt will be a replay to this exact twt but from twtxt-el as a test.
Then I’will file an issue if it doesn’t behave the way it’s supposed to. Cheers!

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Here is everything written down I know to this stuff: https://github.com/upputter/testing-twtxt-dm/blob/main/README.md

@eapl.me@eapl.me @andros@twtxt.andros.dev Eureka! It works! https://github.com/upputter/testing-twtxt-dm
PBKDF2_KEY_SIZE = 48 was the turning point! My dirty little crypt.class.php can en- and decrypt, accoridng to the OpenSSL standard and options used in https://twtxt.dev/exts/direct-message.html

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev is it me or twtxt-el generates a wrong twt hash when I use the [ ↳ Reply to twt ] button?

Edit #issuecomment-18968

@eapl.me@eapl.me @andros@twtxt.andros.dev here’s another variant as per eapl’s suggestion (#issuecomment-18968)[https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/issues/9#issuecomment-18968]

here is my progress so far: https://github.com/eapl-gemugami/twtxt-direct-message-php
The encryption part seems to work, if I decrypt it the message with OpenSSL.
I think it can help you for some key parts not well explained in OpenSSL documentation.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev reading your spec I wrote a few notes here: https://github.com/eapl-gemugami/twtxt-direct-message-php/blob/main/direct_message_spec.md

@arne@uplegger.eu I haven’t check your repo yet, although you are using sodium, right?

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Could you share (perhaps in the extension document) the private key for alice?

I want to compare that I can read the encrypted message both from OpenSSL CLI and from the PHP OpenSSL library, following the spec.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I have really tried to get behind it. For an implementation for my TwtxtReader (PHP) I simply lack the knowledge of the standard-openssl parameters.
All my solution approaches require “nonce” or “initialization vector” on one or the other side. In addition, the “magic numbers” (“Salted__”) were not consistent in my tests.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Thank you :-)

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev screenshots plz :=!

I’m continuing my tt rewrite in Go and quickly implemented a stack widget for tview. The builtin Pages is similar but way too complicated for my use case. I would have to specify a mandatory name and some additional options for each page. Also, it allows me to randomly jump around between pages using names, but only gives me direct access the first, however, not the last page. Weird. I don’t wanna remember names. All I really need is a classic stack. You open a new fullscreen dialog and maybe another one on top of that. Closing the upper most brings you back to the previous one and so on.

The very first dialog I added is viewing the raw message text. Unlike in @arne@uplegger.eu’s TwtxtReader, I’m not able to include the original timestamp, though. I don’t have it in its original form in the database. :-/

Next up is a URL view.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev it seems your GtS has issues:

Warning! It looks like trusted-proxies is not set correctly in this instance’s configuration. This may cause rate-limiting issues and, by extension, federation issues.

If you are the instance admin, you should fix this by adding 10.66.66.1/32 to your trusted-proxies.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I suggest to not touch it and work on a different project instead. :-D

No, in all seriousness, that’s a tough one. Try to figure out the requirements and write tests to cover them. In my experience, if there is no good documention, tests might also be lacking. It goes without saying that you have to understand the code segments first before you can begin to refactor them. Commit even earlier and more often than usual, this will help you bisecting potentially introduced bugs later on. Basically baby steps.

But it also depends on the amount of refactoring required. Maybe just scrap it entirely and start from scratch. This might not be feasible due to e.g. the overall project size, though.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I’m all for elegant solutions. I prefer when the computer helps me to really achieve my goal and solve it completely, not where I still have to manually filter a list by hand. Anyway. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net @bmallred@staystrong.run @andros@twtxt.andros.dev Thank you all! I don’t have emacs installed, so I’ll try lagrange and see. According to my shell history, I must have played around with amfora ages ago.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev lol nice! emacs is wild. text and graphics all inline.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Broke on me for having alt-urls I think 🥲

twtxt---profile-layout: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, ("https://aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt" "gemini://box.aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt" "gopher://box.aelaraji.com/0/twtxt.txt")

I have uploaded a new version of #twtxtel 🥳. It’s now possible to view profiles, either your own or others. #twtxt #emacs @prologic@twtxt.net @xuu@txt.sour.is

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev The article is a good reminder of the true blogging mindset. But let’s try to think beyond. 2 ideas: (1) writing “forces clarity, structures your thoughts, sharpens your perspective”. But it also generates thoughts in the sense of Heinrich von Kleist (1805). (2) You’re writing for “the future you, one right person, one day” but you are also writing for the AI. The idea of AI as an audience.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Awesome! I’ve seen the demo earlier on mastodon, things are getting better and better with each update 👌 Good luck!

I have infinite scroll now! I can finally focus on replies and mentions 😋

#twtxtel #twtxt #emacs

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net Looks like something for /dev/null.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Wazzaaaaa… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsJLhRGPv-M

That’s my alt-feed by the way! 😉

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt Huh? 🤔 I’m curious to what other features you’d want from a messaging app! Also, you can easily send in a couple of feature requests, the dev is pretty receptive 👌

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Sweeeeet! Just gave it a try, you’ve done a wonderful work 🫡 I wanted to replay from there but couldn’t go past the first page of the feed. It kept freezing on me and complaining about some bad Url (as mentioned on the test twt), so I’ll have to dig through my follow list and see where I effed up this time. 😅

Here’s a twt from @andros@twtxt.andros.dev ’s new version of Twtxt-el 🥳 It feels WAaaaaY better! although it freezes on me as soon as I navigate to the next page complaining about some bad url, but the chronological sorting of the feed as well as the navigation buttons (links?) are a great addition. Looking forward to the next update already! 😁 🥳🥳🥳

@prologic@twtxt.net I believe @andros@twtxt.andros.dev is referring to the one on the original twtxt docs . I’ve been meaning to contribute to the discussion on the git but I’m just lazy 😅 amma throw in a little something in a minute Poke a bee hive and run away style 😆

I would like to make another proposal to the community, to discuss it calmly: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/issues/9 #twtxt

Amazing! My response: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/pulls/8#issuecomment-18500

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev How about putting the whole encrypted conversation into a sperate twtxt-file. Just like the archive feature (?). That way, the general clients don’t have to cope with the decrytption stuff and it won’t break the general public conversations.

Thanks, @andros@twtxt.andros.dev! I commented and replied here: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtxt.dev/pulls/8#issuecomment-18490

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Nope, unfortunately not. I took a look at Lisp last year (I think I used sbcl), but I haven’t done anything really useful with it. I still want to give it a proper go some time in the future. I do like how flexible it can be. Rather simple, but powerful basic concepts.

What’s your favorite dialect?
