@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.
@lyxal@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net yah. the service can have a flag for allowing non-TLS for development. but by default ignores.
are there some users that use alternative protos for twtxt? like ftp/gopher/dnsfs 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net @lyxal@twtxt.net blocking http would be a good start
@admin @lyxal@twtxt.net hax?
@prologic@twtxt.net an added benefit of the avatar: would be the user could put their gravatar/libravatar image url like https://key.sour.is/avatar/01bc6186d015218c23dec55447e502e669ca4c61c7566dfcaa1cac256108dff0
@prologic@twtxt.net Could the config be embeded into the head comment of the twtxt.txt file and parsed out? If it also had an avatar: field that pointed to where the avatar image is located it can be almost all self contained.

@lyxal@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net if we edit the txt file does it update on web?
@prologic@twtxt.net the HKP is http keyserver protocol. it’s what happens when you do gpg --send-keys
makes a POST to the keyserver with your pubkey.
@prologic@twtxt.net looking through the drafts it looks like it actually used SRV records as recently as 2018 😵
@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>
@xuu@txt.sour.is With SRV you can set what hostname to be used (and port/priority/etc)
@xuu@txt.sour.is Not too happy with WKD’s use of CNAME over SRV for discovery of openpgpkey.. That breaks using SNI pretty quick. I suppose it was setup as a temporary workaround anyhow in the RFC..
@prologic@twtxt.net also :)
@adi @prologic@twtxt.net One reservation about using it with a small community would be the expectation that the discussions at some level stay within the circle as opposed to the internet at large.
@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 (#gqg3gea) ha yeah. COVID makes for a timey-wimey mish-mash. Worked on some WKD and fought with my XMPP client a bit.
@prologic@twtxt.net Herro! 👋
@prologic@twtxt.net well nice chat. it’s off to bed for me.
@prologic@twtxt.net do you think twt will ever add ActivityPub integration?
@prologic@twtxt.net Yep! installed it yesterday. I like the simplicity of twt. I am quite happy with how little memory the pod seems to use. Mastodon and the “lightweight” Pleroma don’t work well in small VMs.
That way at least we can form some kind of cryptographic “identity” without having to involve the users that much, it just works™
i like some of the work that keys.pub is doing with ed25519 crypto keys with something like that.
@prologic@twtxt.net huh.. true.. the email is md5/sha256 before storing.. if twtxt acted as provider you would store that hash and point the SRV record to the pod. .. to act as a client it would need to store the hash and the server that hosts the image.
@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net something that would be interesting would be libravatar for the user image. i made one that does the same for a profile cover image.
@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net The gpg command line leaves much to be desired…
@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.
@prologic@twtxt.net Oh snap. that’s what i get for copy paste! ill just have to repost and update my key.
@xuu@txt.sour.is can i notify myself?
@prologic@twtxt.net this is a very curious project. I would love to see how it manages to do its federation between pods.
@prologic@prologic.github.io Could you make the polling of your server a little slower please? Thanks.
@uninformativ@www.uninformativ.de Welcome to Twtxt! Liking your introduction article and your Gopherhole is awesome.
@prologic@prologic.github.io I will probably check out twtxt.net later. Can we use it without registering for an account?
@Leo@www.gkbrk.com Sorry to disappoint. I think I have Finger running on my Raspberrypi but didn’t make it public.
@melyanna@tilde.club awesome! thanks great.
@lucidiot@tilde.town [re: abandoned ideas] Thanks for the inspiration! How do you keep track of projects now? Do you know about TaskWarrior?
@irongeek@irongeek.net Welcome to Twtxt! I don’t think anyone still is doing something on http://twtxt.xyz/ honestly. It just runs on its own.
@xandkar@xandkar.net Welcome to Twtxt! Noticed a typo in your twtxt user-agent handle. It is pointing to txtxt.txt.
Twtxt is real enough. Feels funny to be so open writing here, yet nobody knows twtxt.txt is here - part of the charm
@lucidiot@tilde.town Good one! :-)
@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for the suggestion using Keybase. Playing around with the authenticity idea.
@kas@enotty.dk I like your gopher server’s formatting, nice and clean and how did you implement the TLS certificate?
@robbinaer@robbinaer.info The domain move seems to have worked. :-)
@kas@enotty.dk [re: gopher client] If you happen to be on Windows, then Gopher Browser for Windows by Matt Owen is pretty nice, otherwise I use Lynx indeed for gopher.
@lucidiot@tilde.town Agreeing that BuJo kind of saved my mind too. It now takes me about three months to fill up 251 pages with tasks, notes and events.
@adiabatic@www.frogorbits.com True. The battery life is great - especially since it is new. FaceID is very handy indeed. The bigger screen estate is amazing too. Also esim might be cool - if only my provider would support it.
@frogor@www.frogorbits.com compared to the Iphone 7. XR might be more powerful but it’s clumsy to hold as big and heavy. Does not feel like a phone at all.
@kas@enotty.dk Good stuff kas++ What command or script did you use to split by year?
@von@tilde.town Understanding you. For me: keeping a bullet-journal on a paper notebook helped me herd my chaotic mind into manageable streams. See https://bulletjournal.com
