I hope it isn't confusing for me to maintain two feeds. I made this feed to more easily interact with the twt.social community, leaving the one on my website as a regular microblog. 2021-03-05T03:47:30Z (#) @ Thank you. I rarely use my phone for things other than calls or text messages, but I'll give the app a try if I need to post from my phone. 2021-03-05T03:51:42Z (#) @ Thanks for clarifying. Either way, it's a very reasonable privacy policy. I was just wondering about the details. If you don't store the email addresses, is it just a hash that's stored? Check against it for recovery, send an email if it passes? 2021-03-05T04:05:42Z (#) @ I really like that. Email can't be known until it's needed. 2021-03-05T05:57:37Z (#) Mkws is great the way it is, and `pp` is genius. The only reason why I don't use it for my own site is because I can't figure out how to escape the required characters in an elegant way before files are sent to `pp`. The best parts of mkws are the simplicity and the ability to tweak the script for your use case. Putting everything in one binary or adding a bunch of extra features like a web server would add unnecessary complication. 2021-03-05T06:20:02Z (#) @ Double quotes and ampersands with a backslash for `sh`, probably other characters it uses to do special functions as well. I just can't get used to omitting quotes or using single quotes in HTML tags. 2021-03-05T06:40:41Z (#) @ I believe so, and I can't for the life of me remember what problem I ran into. 2021-03-05T06:54:16Z (#) @ Thank you, I appreciate it. If I remember correctly, the `printf` program can escape a string for shell input, but I had difficulty making it work elegantly with the contents of a multi-line file. 2021-03-05T21:49:17Z (#) @ I'm trying it again with a clear head, and I'm making a little headway. 2021-03-07T08:23:02Z (#) @ Void and OpenBSD are pretty hardcore, as operating systems go.

It's not a slightly off mock-up made in GIMP, I spent much more time than I care to admit writing very messy, very hacky CSS. 2021-03-09T18:45:03Z (#) @ (#) Very minimal progress has been made since my last twt about it. After working for hours and making glacial progress, I couldn't get titles to work, got frustrated, and left to go do something else. Haven't worked on it since that day. Now that I think of it, I couldn't take advantage of `pp` in the content of documents anyway because I'm escaping everything. 2021-03-09T18:52:58Z (#) @ No, I like its normal styling a lot. I just did this for fun, and thought you gentlemen might enjoy it. Maybe I'll make Lobsters look like HN at some point. That would probably be a lot easier, I won't have to work in the confines of tables. 2021-03-09T19:05:45Z (#) @ Great job, and I like the look of the sidebar. It makes the whole thing look delightfully retro, and doesn't cost that much space on the side. I agree that it shouldn't be fixed while scrolling, though. 2021-03-09T19:09:13Z (#) @ If all the documents were in the root directory and I could get used to not using quotes, mkws would most certainly be my pick. 2021-03-09T19:32:13Z (#) @ If I have some time today, I can recreate your mock-ups in HTML and CSS. It always helps to scroll through it in the browser, see what it would really look like. 2021-03-09T19:37:45Z (#) @ Huh, I tried going back to stock mkws while I was working on my own script, and it wouldn't generate pages in other directories. I didn't really poke through it and figure out why. Do you have to add the new directories manually in the script? 2021-03-09T19:53:51Z (#) @ As for `sed`ing files, that's what I'm already doing. At the moment, I just can't benefit from `pp` inside my content documents because I'm escaping everything. I agree it's not impossible, I'm sure I could make `sed` skip sections for `pp`, but the end result would be even more of a complicated mess of a shell script than the one I have now. I really don't want to deal with something like that when it's not that much of a chore, in the grand scheme of things, to maintain it manually. 2021-03-09T20:04:00Z (#) @ I really appreciate your help but as I said in my blog post, I just need to make my own generator in a real programming language if I want it to be exactly right for my website.  > Depends on what you understand by "mess" and "complicated" It's 55 lines long and I'm having trouble understanding it as I read through it, less than a week after it was written. 2021-03-09T20:05:11Z (#) @ @ Please excuse me, I don't know how formatting works on this thing.

A web of trust is much more concrete, based on a single standard that changes, if at all, very mildly. 'Proof of Woke' is a standard that frequently makes wild shifts, which is why high-profile nodes are dropped from the swarm so frequently. 2021-03-12T00:28:31Z (#) If they don't plan on doing a bunch of invasive garbage to stop people from doing what they want with the computer part they own, then the whole thing looks like a tremendous blunder. The only problem is, while Nvidia's executives do have a certain deficiency of IQ points, I doubt this is the end. They will start adding invasive garbage, and we can expect the experience of GNU/Linux users with Nvidia cards to diminish even further as a result. I predict we'll be seeing mod chips for graphics cards within two generations if they keep this up. 2021-03-12T04:07:29Z (#) @ It's been a while. 2021-03-12T04:12:34Z (#) @ ![Linus Torvalds flipping off Nvidia](https://twtxt.net/media/k3far2he96YyiM96P5uqVm)  This was almost nine years ago 2021-03-12T04:14:05Z (#) @ No gif support, noted. 2021-03-12T05:51:16Z (#) @ Ah, no worries man. 2021-03-12T19:43:23Z @ (#) Hey, looking good! 2021-03-12T20:07:23Z (#) @ I couldn't get around to it, I'm sorry. 2021-03-13T08:43:00Z (#) @ Yes, that's an excellent way of putting it. :) 2021-03-17T04:28:48Z (#) @ Oh man, you're one of the 10,000.

You can still boot into iPod OS by turning on the hold switch when booting. iPods were much, much more open back then. 2021-03-31T02:00:42Z Hey @, I think feeds are being removed from my following list.

You would be able to have a prefix that's easily recognizable by users to make sure they're at the right address but it would still be very difficult for someone to brute force an address with the same prefix. 2021-09-07T03:33:51Z @ (#) For example, `examplexpi...z2j.onion` would be difficult for me to generate but it would be equally difficult for someone who wants to pretend to be that service to generate `example6yf...9wn.onion`. Instead, I might be able to generate something like `wellhairrainba7...m4c.onion` based on a list of random words. The other guy would need to find an address with a set 12 character prefix. That would be much more difficult than the 7 character example from before. 2021-09-07T03:49:29Z @ (#) The obvious potential pitfall is the computational expense of comparing generated addresses to possible combinations of a large word list. It would be interesting to see how this compares to the brute force method in practice. 2021-09-07T04:31:54Z (#) @ Wikipedia can explain onion addresses better than I can: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.onion A "vanity address" is made by generating thousands of keypairs until you find one that corresponds with an onion address that has the first few characters matching a given string. A well known example would be the archive.today hidden service, http://archiveiya74codqgiixo33q62qlrqtkgmcitqx5u2oeqnmn5bpcbiyd.onion/ 2021-09-07T04:37:06Z (#) @ I didn't know mkp224o had that option, but I think doing it with long words will be impractical. The difficulty goes up drastically as you add words, and 5 characters is already difficult to generate. Take a look at these generation times on a cluster of 5 raspberry pis: https://www.jamieweb.net/blog/onionv3-vanity-address/#generation-times Someone much smarter than I could probably calculate the increase in difficulty based on word length. 2021-09-07T04:49:04Z (#) @ (#) > what I'm trying to solve  People use the address to be sure they're using the right hidden service, and if you can get an address with the same prefix you might be able to trick some users into thinking you're the other service. It's the same basic idea as [Typosquatting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typosquatting). My idea, in theory, would make it easier (less computationally expensive) to generate an address with a certain prefix the first time, and much harder to do a second time. 2021-09-07T05:08:07Z (#) @ Wow, how many have you managed to generate already? MeanWall: An SSH honeypot that insults anyone who tries to log in. 2021-09-08T03:27:39Z (#) @ It's definitely too low.

I found a 2 letter domain (mc.cz) on GoDaddy for $17 one time and I tried to buy it. The money was sent, but the domain wasn't showing up on my account. Later, the money was refunded to me and mc.cz was listed for sale as a "Premium" domain for several thousand dollars. I'm not sure if it was entirely their fault but it left a bad taste in my mouth for GoDaddy's service. 2021-09-29T00:08:52Z (#) Oh yeah, definitely thinking about it. ![](https://twtxt.net/media/6SdnWQNdYKDEoEocAUWJ2D) 2021-09-29T00:33:55Z (#) @ Yes it was.

Gemini is a neat idea, but I think it goes too far in the right direction. There must be a new set of standards, but they can't only be limited to basic documents. Only when there is a new set of standards that replaces the Web for a significant amount of uses can the problem be solved. Until then, I say we should give WHATWG and the "living standard" the double barreled middle finger and create bloat-free, tracker-free, tag filled websites that look like they were made in 2004. 2021-09-30T20:42:02Z (#) @ I don't know, but the answer is probably rclone. 2021-09-30T20:45:46Z (#<4m23ecq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=4m23ecq>) @ @ That wallet glows.

Fixing my bookmark situation once and for all is the main project for this weekend. It's starting to get ridiculous. I have bookmarks in several browsers and multiple text files spread across a handful of different computers. I'll probably end up writing a blog post about it. 2021-10-02T17:31:48Z (#) Thanks for the input everyone! Saved.io and Golinks look interesting but I want something that has a few more features and stores the information locally. I get it @ but I find that it pays off when I'm trying to find something and it's right there in my bookmarks. 2021-10-02T17:37:05Z (#) @ I agree. You simply cannot use a device for general computing if it has not been made for general computing. 2021-10-02T17:45:47Z (#) @ I have no idea. My favorites are \#79 and \#57 2021-10-06T07:01:17Z I managed to make a template for `pp` that produces an HTML list of twts for a given twtxt file, similar to the way I have it on [my website](https://mckinley.cc/twtxt/2021-aug-dec.html). It even turns HTTP URLs into hyperlinks. It definitely needs some work, but I think I've reached the limit of POSIX sh. I don't know of any way to compare dates or change the format of a timestamp without GNU `date`. `rev` isn't a POSIX utility either so I can't have reverse chronological order without doing some `awk` sorcery or something. 2021-10-06T08:05:42Z (#) Heh. 2021-10-06T08:27:52Z (#) @ I realized I had more to say than I thought and, rather than make a chain of twts, I made a [blog post](https://mckinley.cc/blog/20211006.html) instead. Here's a screenshot what the template makes when it's fed my twtxt feed. I'm going to bed, man. ![](https://twtxt.net/media/H8dsTCLPgJYxPdyvicTGrj) 2021-10-06T16:44:16Z (#) @ Thank you, that looks to be almost exactly what I'm looking for. I'll take a closer look later. 2021-10-06T20:33:40Z (#) @ @ Right, `tac` is the one that reverses lines. Apologies, I always get the two mixed up. What I want to do is automate the HTMLized twtxt pages on my website. I'll need to remove comments, sort the feed chronologically which can definitely be done with `sort`, and then separate the feed into three month periods. Then I'll pass that three month chunk into `pp` which will use the template to generate HTML. I'll need dateutils or something similar to separate the feed into blocks as well as changing the date format to something more readable for the HTML. 2021-10-06T21:16:03Z (#) @
