JavaScript : web apps

wut?! 😳 seriously?! 🤦‍♂️

Python : small tools

Okay 👌

Go: micro services

Umm bad generalization 🤣 – Example yarnd that powers most of Yarn.social 😂

Java: enterprise software

Yes! Oh gawd yes! 🤣 And Java™ needs to die a swift death!

C: crimes

Hmmm? 🤔 I feel this one is going to have some backslash and/or go the way of “Hacker” being misconstrued to mean entirely different/incorrect things as is what’s happening in the media (for various definitions of “media”).

I will never understand this obsession with “scaling”. Modern web dev seriously over-complicates so many things, it’s not even funny anymore. How we built a serverless SQL database | Hacker News

Lots of downsides, too, but overall I still find it the most comfortable environment for anything that doesn’t need a web browser. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de

We should be able to remove those subject hashtags, they’re just noise.

Yes! I would say they are not even needed on the web UI. You click conversations, and that’s done by Yarn. No need for humans to see it.

Is it me, or Gmail’s web interface is going down the drain? Using Safari—my default browser—often takes two, or three clicks to open an email. If it weren’t because its search is amazing, I would never visit its web interface.

@stigatle@twtxt.net
A twtxt client would be nice! Or a very simple cgi script to print twts to web nicely—not a second Yarn, just something to show twts in a pretty form on the web.

@prologic@twtxt.net Look on the web interface. Goryon needs work, but you mentioned that before.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I remember that time. I built my own mess, then used someone else’s mess (WordPress). I then switched to Jekyll when Tom released it, then to Hugo, which I use today. I also love static web stuff!

I feel like this could be borderline useful if I stuck a web UI on it. 🤔

The Weaving The Web Book by Tim Berners-Lee should be a required read for anyone building on the Web.

Working with Web components feels a bit like {insert fav fantasy world here} with concepts like the Shadow Dom and the Light Dom

First pass at sticking my twtxt in a web page. It’s not escaping all the html properly, and generally needs work, but it’s a start: http://a.9srv.net/tw/following.html

in some ways, tomo el fuego is an effort to break away from electron and javascript as the basis for application development. specifically p2p messaging, but there are a lot of general applications too. its true that i could have set this concern aside to focus on making the p2p things that i’ve been talking about over the last several years. i might have done something there, but i really don’t want to accept the status quo there. i want a much smaller foundation to build on than a web browser and an event library with V8 bolted on. dynamic 9-flavored p2p is coming, but there’s quite a bit more foundational work to do first.

all major content sections for the abridged web mirror are being statically generated!

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

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.

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

Today I was reminded of it by a long series of steps that began with an invitation from http://tilde.club. Web surfing at its best.
