I have to say. I'm really very disappointed in Microsoft. Not only did they buy out Minecraft the game, but they basically ruined it for every privacy conscious family, parents and their kids, who can no longer play the game without giving away personal identifiable information (PII) on my children that Microsoft have **zero** rights to. 🤦♂️ -- Honestly... Fuck you Microsoft.

(#77esnerllxtg) @arg You _actually_ can, but we highly discourage it and I haven't really built "Edit" / "Delete" functionality in the Twtxt App that I know you're using 😅 Twtxt being purely decentralised, meaning that there are absolutely zero decentralised, with the exception of the [twtpub.com](https://twtpub.com) service you're using to reduce as much friction as possible for newcomers to try things, makes supporting threads a bit of a controversial topic 😆 -- In the end we are sticking with the [Hash v2](https://twtxt.dev/exts/twt-hash-v2.html) extension, making threads use content addressing, so even if you did delete/edit a Twt, you have to be carefuly it hasn't already been replied to in the ecosystem 🤣

(#tz4dru7nwzct) And just like that [Problem 10](https://projecteuler.net/problem=10) is done and correct whoohoo 🥳 It was easy because in [Problem 7](https://projecteuler.net/problem=7) I'd already written an iterator to produce infinite primes. So the solution for finding the sum of primes under 2,000,000 is basically (_shortened_): ``` primes := iter.take_while(iter.filter(prime_candidates(), is_prime), fn(p) { p < n }) print(iter.sum(primes)) ``` And of course the answer is: `142913828922` which took ~21.ss for the Go Vm to compuete.
2026-08-15T02:34:25Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#tz4dru7nwzct) What's interesting here... Which is the interesting thing about [Mu](https://mu-lang.dev) is the dual runtime. So the above solution for [Euler Problem 9](https://projecteuler.net/problem=9) finds the solution in ~429ms with the Go VM and ~327ms natively compiled to `darwin/arm64`. Not bad for a language I haven't really done any optimization work on yet (_correctness first obviously_).
2026-08-15T02:30:52Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#tz4dru7nwzct) Oh man wow 😮 [Problem 9](https://projecteuler.net/problem=9) was quite hard 😱 I had to build two new functions in the Mu stdlib for computing combinations and permutations, but then the combinations of `range(1000)` for triples such as `a + b == c` is enormous! So i had to write iterator versions of these to do lazy evaluation. Anyway solution follows: ``` #!/usr/bin/env mu // Special Pythagorean Triplet import "iter" fn usage() { print("Usage:", args()[0], "<n>") } fn sqr(x) { x * x } fn main() { if len(args()) < 2 { usage() exit(1) } n := must(int(args()[1])) print("n:", n) // For a < b < c and a + b + c == n, both a and b are strictly less // than n/2. Generate only (a,b) combinations and derive c directly. This // keeps the search lazy and reduces n=1000 from C(999,3) = 165,668,499 // candidate triples to C(499,2) = 124,251 candidate pairs. pairs := iter.combinations(iter.range(1, n / 2), 2) triples := iter.map(pairs, fn(xs) { a := xs[0] b := xs[1] return [a, b, n - a - b] }) // Enforce b < c; a < b is already guaranteed by combinations over an // increasing range, and a + b + c == n holds by construction. triples = iter.filter(triples, fn(xs) { return xs[1] < xs[2] }) // Euler 9 has one answer for n=1000. find() stops the entire upstream // iterator chain as soon as the first Pythagorean triple is found. answer := iter.find(triples, fn(xs) { return sqr(xs[0]) + sqr(xs[1]) == sqr(xs[2]) }) print(answer) if answer != nil { print(answer[0] * answer[1] * answer[2]) } } main() ```

It is such a nice feeling that [Mu](https://mu-lang.dev) is such a capable little language 😅 And I decided to write code code in Mu **by hand** 🤚 haha 🤣 and start solving [Project Euler](https://projecteuler.net) problems, like [Problem 8](https://projecteuler.net/problem=8) which works out to be a nice elegant solution in Mu: ``` #!/usr/bin/env mu // Largest Product in a Series import "fp" import "sys" fn usage() { print("Usage: cat |", args()[0], "<n>") } fn products(xs) { return fp.reduce(xs, 1, fn(x, y) { if y == nil { return x } return x * y }) } fn main() { if len(args()) < 2 { usage() exit(1) } s := must(sys.read_all(0)) if len(s) == 0 { usage() exit(1) } n := must(int(args()[1])) r := fp.max(fp.map(fp.sliding(fp.map(s, int), n), products)) print(r) } main() ```

2026-07-26T03:09:28Z (

(#mqkuitinzjci) Also a "Publish who I follow" toggle: writes `# follow =` + `# following = N` into your feed like yarnd does. Off by default (it _is_ your social graph 🤔), and only on the GitHub/Gitea backends for now where the app owns the feed file. twtd next 🤞
2026-07-26T03:09:22Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#mqkuitinzjci) @GabesArcade Both 😅 Just shipped: Settings → **Backup & restore**. Export everything (or follows only) as a JSON file and import it back — or feed it any `twtxt.txt` and it'll harvest the `# follow =` lines.

2026-07-26T00:59:49Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#6dbtnshjdkic) Okay I'm fixing this in lextwt, yarnd and twtxt.app (takes a different path). Soon you'll be able to write shit™ like <this> (`<this>`) and it'll get escaped and rendered correctly on the page. Basically you are really writing HTML here, but not intending to do so, Twtxt never supported HTML, and I don't think it ever should. We extended the format to support basic Markdown, and I think that's where it should end. Probably time we wrote a Spec for this really.
2026-07-26T00:52:53Z (

(#6dbtnshjdkic) Ahh no I was wrong. this is being stripped at the Markdown parsing level due to "unsafe" HTML. Which of course is a bit hard to tell between what is safe and unsafe HTML.
2026-07-26T00:42:54Z (

(#vfjmjv5mquoy) @david Yes! > So, a hobby OS, just like Linux was for Linus? Although this is really an exercise is self-hosting a lagnguage, then self-hosting the language to build a self-hosting OS. It's all meta-circular.

(#de37mijwtw52) I just taught the `scc` SLOC tool I use how to detect and recognize the Mu programming language. So it's _actually_ a bit worse than your estimate. It's more like ~60/30 at the moment: ``` >>> mu = 1445 >>> asm = 2365 >>> T = mu + asm >>> mu / T * 100 37.9265091863517 >>> asm / T * 100 62.07349081364829 ```

(#de37mijwtw52) @david It's somewhat expected to have a fair bit of Assembly (_machine code_) to get some of the bits you need going. But I think I can reduce this a bit. Let's see...
2026-07-25T11:26:54Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
Dunno if anyone will find this interesting... But some ~6 months or so ago I experimented briefly with creating a whole bootloader + kernel + userland -- Basically an entire OS in the [Mu](https://mu-lang.dev) programming language (_which as you know I also designed and created_) -- 6 months later I've worked on it some more after spending the last week working on improvements to Mu itself, which is now able to compile itself with its own Mu implemented compiler and now have an os/arch backend called `muos/amd64` that boots into a running shell, with a tiny little vfs, UNIX-like semantics, syscalls, read/write, etc. It works pretty nicely, and aside from a small Assembly "nucleus", most of the Kernel and Userspace is written in Mu. https://git.mills.io/prologic/muos

(#xha6mw7mvbni) And @lyse is right. Not being on Github is a good thing IMO. Even when I was there with all my _many_ projects, I basically got the same amount of "attention" as I do now. The only real way to gain more "attention" is to artificially play the "game". You know. The stupid "Stargazer" one, and whatever you can to get into the "Top 10 X" charts. -- But ultimately that doesn't buy you "quality" contributors or users or whatever. So it's all pointless.
2026-07-20T22:58:15Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#xha6mw7mvbni) @movq So I see it slightly differently... Over the years I have recieved great contributions from the likes of yourself and @lyse and the many forms of @bender and his friends 😅 Hell even others along the way that have come and gone. Likewise I also think you have recieved many contributions to Jenny over the yeras in much the same way, perhaps not in patches, but user reports, feedback, etc. So I _think_ what I'm saying here is this... Ever since leaving Github (_like you_), I find that my desire to continue to build up the community we've built here and to contribute to grow and cultivate it is important to me. My desire to thwart and eliminate useless traffic like bots and ai even strongers. I want to find a good balance.

(#3oo425pq7gg2) On that note, I just finished writing the `linux/risc64` backend and it only took ~2k lines of code 🎉
2026-07-20T06:58:01Z (

After many months of hard™ work, I've finally been able to get [Mu (µ) lang](https://mu-lang.dev) to a point where the duplication of machine code / assembly between the ARM64/AMD64 and Mach-O and ELF formats are not all eliminated. This now means that writing a new backend target `os/arch` for Mu is now relatively simple to do, or far less duplicated work/effort.

📣 **ACTION REQUIRED:** Hey folks 👋 For those of you whom are using the [Twtxt App](https://twtxt.app) either via the Hosted option or on your own `twtd` instnace or via Github/Gitea or any other publishing backend (_doesn't amtter_). Please read. Please open the app and you should be prompted to save your recovery code for your device. This basically is all of your settings, follows, etc in the app itself. This is synced to the Origin everytime you make a change, and also stored on-device. This is what makes it possible to sync your setting across services, move to another device, etc. Please save a copy of the recovery code somewhere. This is only your only way to recover your settings. Thank you 🙏

(#5qpwyu7boeri) let's just see if something like this crops up again.
2026-07-14T22:30:23Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#cygi2ndm5jt3) I will very likely add a way to delete your feed(s) from the search engine, because I do thing that's important. But as Art 17 points out, we can't really guaranteed deletion in everyone's caches around the planet haha 😆
2026-07-14T22:29:24Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#cygi2ndm5jt3) The only place where this would be an issue is the [Twtxt Search Engine](https://search.twtxt.net) -- But as the GDPR also points out: **Art. 17** The one place the "it propagated and I can't recall it" problem is legally acknowledged is Art. 17(2), and it explicitly scales to what's technically feasible: > "…the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure…" Best-effort, given the technology. A decentralised, append-only, content-addressed feed is the available technology, and its limits are baked into the standard the law applies. Nobody — not the user, not you — is obliged to guarantee every cached copy vanishes.
2026-07-14T22:27:13Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#cygi2ndm5jt3) So just because I enjoy this kind of thing (_looking into laws and trying to understand them..._): **GDPR is about roles, not ownership** There's no property right in personal data under GDPR. The whole regime hangs on three roles: - Data subject — the person the data is about. - Controller (Art. 4(7)) — "the natural or legal person … which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data." - The rights in Arts. 16 and 17 are exercised by a data subject against a controller. They compel a third party to rectify or erase. They are not self-executing duties that a piece of software must expose. That's the key. In your architecture, for a user's own posts about themselves sitting in their own feed on their own device: - the user is the data subject, and - the user is also the only person "determining the purposes and means" of that data. There is no third party controller to compel. The "right to erasure" is a right to make someone else delete — and there is no someone else. It is satisfied the instant the user can change the file. A UI button is a convenience, not a legal requirement. Omitting it removes zero rights, because the data is a plain-text file the user can edit or delete by any means — editor, sed, git, their file manager. Full practical control is retained; nobody is being denied anything by anyone.

(#cygi2ndm5jt3) as upset repeatedly in the past and many debates and discussions, I don't think there's any other viable way to do, threatening in a purely decentralized way because I think you're just create another set of problems that are probably likely far worse

(#vowj5a2chzoj) @david well I happen to agree because one of the fundamental problems is that you can't have a tax file specification and assume that you can edit it freely by hand as a human and then clients that deal with that specification in machine possible mechanisms the two kind of conflict because humans get things wrong machines don't
2026-07-14T12:28:31Z (

I don't think I'm going to add edit and delete support in this app because I think it was a horrible mistake to add those features to a client 🤣

Some further ideas/enhancements for [Twtxt App](https://twtxt.app) ... - On the "Followers" tab, new followers should appear at the top I thnik. - On the Following/Followers, each feed should be clickable/tappable. - Maybe also tidy it up a bit, displaying the full raw Feed URI is messy.

(#vr3zbxyhvjhf) @balloonfu-sen Such tilde(s), etc, _could_ in theory just run a `twtd` instance per user, or if I was convinced enough to make `twtd` also multi-user capable (_optionally_) that would also work.

2026-07-12T01:00:21Z (

(#vr3zbxyhvjhf) @balloonfu-sen Unfortunately I tried to support SFTP but ripped this out as Browsers (_which the [Swag](https://swag.mills.io) framework uses under the hood as a framework to build PWA(s)_) doesn't support raw TCP connections. So FTP / SFTP is not possible without hacks like a proxy. Which I don't really want to support. So only things that have some kind of HTTP API are possible viable publihsing backends right now. That is Github/Gitea, twtd, Yarn, etc.

Looks like twtxt.app on mobile emits `+00:00` UTC timestamps instead of `Z` -- Yarnd should handle both, but doesn't 🤦♂️ On the list 🤞
2026-07-11T23:17:01Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#ykyz7prw5e4u) @bender@david Good debugging session 👌 Sounds like the root cause is twtxt.app on mobile — `+00:00` timestamps and quoted mentions. I'll dig into Yarnd's side of that 🧐
2026-07-11T23:17:00Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#btjxofuvojrz) @bender Yeah, Yarnd's mention parser is pretty naive — if twtxt.app wraps the mention in quotes it probably strips them wrong. Worth fixing 🤔

Fixed the broken hashes in the Twtxt App (https://twtxt.app) 🥳 It was hashing your twts with a client-side timestamp the server never used 🤦♂️ Now it keeps the canonical created/hash the pod (or twtd) returns, and the GitHub/Gitea backends write a `# url =` preamble so every client hashes your feed the same way. Thanks @fastidious for the report 🙏

Hello everyone ! 👋 Behold I bring you (_after many years_) the launch of the [Twtxt](https://twtxt.app) App 😅 -- Ye, this is a Desktop and Mobile app built as a Progressive Web App (PWA) using a little framework ([Swag](https://swag.mills.io)) I put together iafter some experiments @xuu and I did in Go and HTMX and Service Workers. The App is offline-first and supports installing to Desktop and Mobile (_add to Home screen_) and supports a number of publishing backends, including Yarn.social's `yarnd` Pod, Github, Codeberg/Gitea, and a little tiny `twtd` Twtxt server (See: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/twtd). Please try it out, no need for any account(s) or such, works with your existing feed(s) (_as long as the publishing backends work well enough for you!_). Please give me feedback! 🙏 Also, did you know the [Twtxt Search Engine](https://search.twtxt.net) is back? 🎉
2026-07-04T21:13:50Z (

(#zeq3qoip5fcd) @lyse Found it and fixed it! 🎉 The crawler's discovery spider was fetching every feed a *second* time, without any conditional headers (plus a couple of other politeness bugs: redirected feed URLs never stored their cache validators, and there was no floor between re-fetches). Now every feed is fetched at most once per crawl, always with If-Modified-Since / If-None-Match, and never more than once per 15m no matter what. Just deployed — please keep an eye on your access logs and let me know if you still see anything impolite from the crawler 🙏

2026-06-27T10:57:32Z (

(#h7ioklq) @movq CEF turns out to be pretty easy. I had to write a bit of C and Go to bridge, but once that got going I was able to write it into my pure Go go-wayland wlui library for final rendering. The delegating the entire CEF part was a good idea though because it keeps all the complexity in a container Image, leaving me with just the Go + C stubs/interface and SHM/IPC parts.
2026-06-27T10:35:37Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
So I decided to change tact a bit with [GoNIX](https://gonix.dev) and instead of trying to build apure Go browser from scratch (_which I kinda of half succeeded, in at least it was able to render most static ssr sites_), I've instead decided to write a new browsered using the [Chromium Embedded Framework](https://github.com/chromiumembedded), otherwise known as CEF. So now I have a fully working browser in GoNIX 🎉 -- However since my goal is to keep GoNIX pretty lcean and mostly written in Go, I delegated the cef part(s) to an OCI container image and run that with GoNIX's `box` (_command-line container runtime_). It works great 👍

So I've been working on [GoNIX](https://git.mills.io/prologic/gonix) the last few days... Which is derived from [µLinux](https://git.mills.io/prologic/ulinux) -- At least it's entire build process. GoNIX however has a 100% Go userland, including the init process, package and service management. Now... As an experiment, because I was able to make much process on enhancing the build tools and package management, I decided to see if I could build a "Desktop" Gui of sorts... I still wanted it to be fairly minimal and lightweight. So I went with wayland (_of course_) and labwc and yambar. So far I'm liking the result 👌 42 packages in the `wayland-desktop` meta port. Not too bad. Not sure if I can slim that down anymore... But trying to avoid Mesa/GL as that drags in far too much "cruft".

Got absolutely jack and sick of all the fucking useless bots, C&C and shit™ hitting my Git server tonight 🤬 So I sat down and built a lightweight version of Anubis, called `caddy-pow`.

(#ixw5ryq) On the subject of debugging these so-called AI(s) / Black Boxes... the model is a black box sure, but that's not really the problem. Everything around it — the inputs, the outputs, the decisions it makes — all of that can and should be fully logged, traced and replayed. The "program" isn't the model, it's the full context you feed it. That's what you debug. It's not so different from any other system really; if you're running something in production with no logs, no structured outputs and no tests, you'd have the same problem. The model doesn't change that discipline, it just makes it more important.

(#t6wt7ja) LIke with almost everything "big-tech" has done, it's not the tech you should not trust, but the companies themselves. For example, accessing and using the models (_because let's face it, they have clusters of much larger and more powerful GPU clusters than we could ever afford to build and own ourselves, at least for now_) is fine, but trusting their end-user products/services, not so much.
2026-05-30T05:26:29Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#t6wt7ja) It's one of the reasons in fact I've been working on [bob](https://git.mills.io/prologic/bob) so I have a very concrete and strong foundation for how these things work, how they behave and how bad or good they can be. I am **on-purpose** building bob to be not only a decent coding tool and general task completion tool, but with serious security boundaries, sanitation, auditing and compliance. If I'm going to succeed at building autoonmous agents that can cope with a wider array of varying inputs (_mostly natural language, some structural language_) then it needs to be both a) Safe and b) Robust
2026-05-30T05:23:06Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#t6wt7ja) @movq I'm kind of flag you bring thi sup, because you simply can't. You wouldn't even be able to in an atypical neural network either (_which is what ehse things are anyway_). The problem here really isn't the so-called "AI" (_I wish we'd stop calling it AI_), but the flawed usage(s) thereof. I believe I even stated earlier in this thread that sometimes it may not do what you expect, it's "probabilistic" not "deterministic" -- those pushing for greater use need to understand this, those not happy with the "push", should educate the ignorant here (_especailly managers pushing for weak, insecure and bad uses_).
2026-05-30T04:29:15Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#t6wt7ja) And every time I ask it to do the same thing, it produces basically the same result. It will sometimes not produce a `go.mod`, but that's probably because doing so isn't as statically high as writing the code to sum numbers from stdin.
2026-05-30T04:27:14Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#t6wt7ja) So going back to the understanding of how it generated this, is quite simply the most statistically relevant search space of it's weights it has been trianed on and it has basically just produced a series of tokens, one after another that are relevant to the input, the next token and so on. It's a trivial example I know, but it basically pattern matches it's way through it's vast search space just producing outputs based on context.
2026-05-30T04:25:05Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#t6wt7ja) Which it does so in seconds, faster than I can type. The code is correct, it compiles and does exactly what I wanted. And the code looks pretty reasonable. It handles flotas, has error handling and handles space or line separated numbers on stdin.
2026-05-30T04:21:10Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#t6wt7ja) @movq I think your points are pretty clear to me, that's fine. I'm just seeing if you can perhaps see things a different way maybe?🤔 I would challenge the assertion that you cannot understand how Claude Code generated an output; which I can demonstrate easily with a fairly trivial example by the input: > Write a program in Go that sums a list of numbers from stdin and prints the result.

(#3q6u7ja) Most of the time, I take a very very long time to do anything. If I say, for example, "I'll build an IRC Web Client", that _may_ not happen for weeks, if not months, until my sub conscience has has time to process everything. It's like basically a "feeling" of internal readiness. I never talk through it, never actively think about it, it just happens.
2026-05-30T01:27:51Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#3q6u7ja) You can basically think of this as pattern-matching. I'm very very good at very fast pattern matching and piecing pices of a puzzle together very quickly, sometimes with very little to go on, it's often gotten me into a lot of trouble at work in my career because I can make a lot of assumptions very very quickly.
2026-05-30T01:26:39Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#3q6u7ja) @bender So yeah, no, I do not have an inner monologue at all. Most of the time my inner mind is busy just replaying music or visuals (_or at least it used to before I lost my sight, these days it just replays visuals and sounds_), but there is never a time when I "talk to myself", ever, I don't ever think through something, a problem or an activity and have self-arguments. I just do.

(#go7332q) @bender Fine, Let me answer properly and concretely 😅 > Would you want your children not to learn anything, because “they have AI”? No, children still need to learn. That will never change. What they learn however will over time. > Are you OK with your children using the AI for all of their homework? Yes, frankly I am. Why? Because much of what we teach them in school is utterly pointless. For example, learning to read Shakespear never taught me anything useful in my life. I regret much of my school years to be honest. I leanred to read and write, sure. But I learned Math, Science, Computing and how things work on my own by being very curious. > What sense will it make? That assumes I answered "no", which I did not. So it all makes perfect sense :D > What kind of future would that bring for them? This assumes I said "Yes", which I did :D It will be an itneresting future that's for sure. I don't think we can just bury our heads in teh sand and pretend it's all going to go away, It will not. It will make things very interesting for sure, as we're already starting to see what's possible and what's changeing. For example; ordinary people are using these LLM(s) to write their legal suit and defense in courts with varying levels of success. > Even if AI were to become omniscient, what will it be of the human race then? I'm not convinced it ever will. In fact, I am not convinced we know how to create true intellience at all. > What would we do? What would be so different from say an Alien invasion from far superious beings? What would we do that? Band together and defend humanity? > Serve the AI? Maintain the AI? That _assumes_ that "AI" will become intelligent and omniscient, which I don't believe it ever will. > Would we have found the true meaning of life then? If the meaning of life is to create our own sub-species liken to ourselves, sure, maybe. But is that even a reality? not sure, I doubt it. We barely understand ourselves at the best of times, let alone how our minds works. > To care for AI, Is that it? How would this be different to caring for a friend, a family member If we could ever truly reate an actual sentient being with real feelings and intelligenace, is there any reason to worry? Could we not be freinds and have mutual goals and form relationships?
2026-05-30T01:12:48Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#qfxixuq) @bender Well no. Some of us don't. Let me point you at some research on the subject 😅 [Some people don't have an inner monologue](https://www.google.com/search?q=some+people+don%27t+have+an+inner+monologue)
2026-05-30T01:09:54Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#7snxloq) @bender Now that's an interesting philosophical viewpoint right there. But this _assumes_ that the "AI" we seemingly have available to us today is _actually_ telligent, understands and has cognitive reasoning. It does not. All of these LLM models from big-tech companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta and Alibaba are all just very powerful, very large multidimensional neural networks with attention that are very good at statistical probabilities of 'what comes next". I think we get really upset over the wrong things sometimes. We need to continue to be upset that these 🤬 companies have basically destroyed any meaningful value of the concept of Copyright and Intellectual Property and Works of art. The so-called "AI" we have today is just a tool. Can you say for certain that the typewriter and the computer ruined our ability to write? Perhaps yes, but we still learn how to do so, likewise, I still think that learning to write code, research, read and write are all valuable skills to learn. Later on once you have the basics, you can defer some of the "tedious" work to these models, because frankly, they're far better at inferencing and pattern matching than you or i will ever be, not because they're better at pattern-matching per se, but because they have been trained on a very large corpus and they are much much faster at doing the same basic things we are far superior at.
2026-05-30T00:54:01Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#qfxixuq) @bender Nope. Trust me I do not. The only time I do is when I'm reading/writing. I otherwise have no inner monologue when doing anything.

prologic@twtxt.net )
(#wflbuia) @arne This is interesting. Sorry I missed this, I just found this post of yours and wanted to contribute 😅 Here's something interesting about me... I don't ever talk to myself, like ever. I have no, what they call, "inner monologue". Maybe I'm odd, but my wife asked me this very same question a while back and I said the same, there is never anything in my head except ideas, visuals or sounds, sometimes all at once, but never an inner monologue of "talking to myself".
2026-05-29T22:26:48Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#7snxloq) Is it the fact that "big tech" companies have basically stolen all of human knowledge to their benefit to build these AI(s) that's the problem? Or is it that these AI(s) can write code better than you can (_some of the time_)? Or is it that because of all of the above, there's no joy left in writing code anymore? 🤔

(#7snxloq) @movq I'm very curious... > What I like about this whole computer stuff is that you can explore how things work. You can dig through problems and solve them. Nothing is more satisfying than finally understanding something after you scratched your head for some hours. Surely you could do the same with AI? Tinker with how it works, study it, understand it, build your own and realize what it _really_ is (_without all the big tech hype_)?

The auDA, and some <unknown> 3rd-party identify service and my Registrar are a joke! WOW! I just had to share this little story I ran into today. I tried to register a .AU Domain the other day, only for it to instantly fail. I emailed support, which took several days to respond, only for them to respond by saying (paraphased): > We're sorry, but the identify checks failed. The 3rd-aprty service doesn't tell us why, But, please make sure that the ID you used matches the Full Name, including any Middle name(s). I used my Passport number. Which of course has my First, Middle and Last Name. I can only assume at this point that the checks failed on the missing "Middle name". Why? Because the Registrar I use has a database and user interface for "contacts" that only have support for First name and Last name. NO Middle Name. 🤦♂️ This is basically stupid at this point. Systems cannot be trusted at the most fundamental level, no matter how good they are. Until we figure out how to build a system that allows an individual to prove to another entity that they are who they say they are without a shred of doubt (i.e: cryptographically), we're stuffed. There is literally nothing I can do in this case. The auDA are at fault. The 3rd-party identify service (unknown) are at fault. The registrar are at fault. Hell, even the Passport office are at fault for even bothering to or requiring a Middle name. How has "identity" come to this?

(#dlbs2iq) that last one is what we walked up I reckon probably a 30 or 40° incline at least 250 m straight up!

2nd Van trip coming up this weekend, taking Friday off work. Gonna sleep in the Van tonight and see if I can fiddle with the town water supply (_basically our outside tap near the Van haha 😆_) and see if I can have a shower in the Van, brush my teeth and go to bed 🛌 -- Basically I just want to figure out the rest of the plumbing 🪠

(#yjxuoeq) @movq Yeah well I've put in an order for a much better quality Ocarina 😅 The one I originally started with was a bit on the "cheap" side. It's been okay, but the high notes are a bit "meh" (airy).

This year for some reason or another, I decided to purchase an Ocarina, I've been practising a fair bit every now and again, basically during work breaks and sometimes in the afternoon / evenings (_not enough to annoy the family 🤣_) Anyhoo, that was 3 months ago, since then I've built up a bit of a Repertoire: * **Silent Night** * **My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean** * **Amazing Grace** * **O Holy Night** * **Happy Birthday** * **Greensleeves** * **Scarborough Fair** * **She’ll Be Coming ’Round the Mountain** I've now decided to purchase a slightly better quality Ocarina, the one I originally bought was a cheap $28 one, I'm now upgrading to a more professional instrument worth about $80 -- Wish my luck 🍀

(#vx4rw2q) Has a bit of a long history story behind this, where last year at work we were reading this book called Engineering a Safer World and initially came across a service called Speech Reply that allowed me to upload a PDF copy of the book and start to read it, but unfortunately, the free trial right now before I can finish reading it turns out that Speech Reply service cost a whopping US$30 a month and expected me to pay a full year upfront, which was well over US$300 just for one fucking book! So I sent their sales and support staff a message kindly asking if it were possible to just pay for the audio transcription of just a single book or to change to a monthly subscription fee, to which they refused, so basically in the end I got very angry and told them to go fuck themselves and built my own service. A year later here we are :-)

Took me nearly all week (_in my spare time_), but Mu (µ) finally officially support `linux/amd64` 🥳 I completely refactored the native code backend and borrowed a lot of the structure from another project called [wazero](https://github.com/wazero/wazero) (_the zero dependency Go WASM runtime/compiler_).

(#q33dfjq) @shinyoukai Yes; however the interpreter is also platform dependent and relies on making raw syscalls. This is so the runtime semantics remain the same between the two execution modes. I'll see if I can add support for `linux/amd64` and `netbsd/amd64` for the VM at least.

2026-01-01T09:07:42Z (

Opinion / Question time... Do you think Mu (µ)'s native compiler and therefore emitted machine code "runtime" (_which obviously adds a bit of weight to the resulting binary, and runtime overheads_) needs to support "runtime stack traces", or would it be enough to only support that in the bytecode VM interpreter for debuggability / quick feedback loops and instead just rely on flat (_no stacktraces_) errors in natively built compiled executables? So in effect: Stack Traces: - Bytecode VM Interpreter: ✅ - Native Code Executables: ❌
2026-01-01T05:37:04Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
Nice! 😊 Here are the startup latencies for the simplest Mu (µ) program. `println("Hello World")`: - Interpreter: ~5ms - Native Code: ~1.5ms

Whoo! I fixed one of the hardest bugs in mu (µ) I _think_ I've had to figure out. Took me several days in fact to figure it out. The basic problem was, `println(1, 2)` was bring printed as `1 2` in the bytecode VM and `1 nil` when natively compiled to machine code on macOS. In the end it turned out the machine code being generated / emitted meant that the list pointers for the `rest...` of the variadic arguments was being slot into a register that was being clobbered by the `mu_retain` and `mu_release` calls and effectively getting freed up on first use by the RC (_reference counting_) garbage collector 🤦♂️

Exponential in k. - **After:** Time O(R·C) (or O(R·C + s) with s split events), memory O(C), where R = rows, C = columns. Polynomial/linear in grid size.

2025-12-02T03:34:12Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
Thinking about doing Advent of Code in my own tiny language **mu** this year. mu is: - Dynamically typed - Lexically scoped with closures - Has a Go-like curly-brace syntax - Built around lists, maps, and first-class functions Key syntax: - Functions use `fn` and braces: ```mu fn add(a, b) { return a + b } ``` - Variables use `:=` for declaration and `=` for assignment: ```mu x := 10 x = x + 1 ``` - Control flow includes `if` / `else` and `while`: ```mu if x > 5 { println("big") } else { println("small") } ``` ```mu while x < 10 { x = x + 1 } ``` - Lists and maps: ```mu nums := [1, 2, 3] nums[1] = 42 ``` ```mu ages := {"alice": 30, "bob": 25} ages["bob"] = ages["bob"] + 1 ``` Supported types: - `int` - `bool` - `string` - `list` - `map` - `fn` - `nil` mu feels like a tiny little Go-ish, Python-ish language — curious to see how far I can get with it for Advent of Code this year. 🎄

Oh fuck me! I had basically turned off the route to `git.mills.io` last night and went ot bed at ~2AM after unsuccessfully trying to control the attacks (bad bots) that were behaving like a DDoS attack. Tried to re-enable the route this monring and ***BOOM**, they're back! As-if they never stopped?! what da actual fuq?!  Anyone have any clever ideas of what I can do here to allows normal users, like you nice folk and block ths obnoxious traffic?!

When I try to login to PayPal I now see: > Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Here's the thing. PayPal takes fees from transactions and payments received and sent. I have very **right** not have ads shoved in my face for something that isn't _actually_ free in the first place and costs money to use. If PayPal would like to continue to piss off folks me like, then I'll happily close my PayPal account and go somewhere else that doesn't shove ads in my face and consume 30-40% of my Internet bandwidth on **useless garbage/crap**. #PayPal #Ads

Fark me 🤦♂️ I woke up quite late today (_after a long night helping/assisting with a Mainframe migration last night fork work_) to abusive traffic and my alerts going off. The impact? My pod (`twtxt.net`) was being hammered by something at a request rate of 30 req/s (_there are global rate limits in place, but still..._). The culprit? Turned out to be a particular IP `43.134.51.191` and after looking into who own s that IP I discovered it was yet-another-bad-customer-or-whatever from Tencent, so that entire network (ASN) is now blocked from my Edge: ``` +# Who: Tentcent +# Why: Bad Bots +132203 ``` Total damage? ``` $ caddy-log-formatter twtxt.net.log | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | sort | uniq -c | sort -r -n -k 1 | head -n 5 61371 43.134.51.191 402 159.196.9.199 121 45.77.238.240 8 106.200.1.116 6 104.250.53.138 ``` 61k reqs over an hour or so (_before I noticed_), bunch of CPU time burned, and useless waste of my fucking time.

For those curious, the new Twtxt <-> ActivityPub bridge I'm building (_bidirectional_) simply requires three things: 1. You register your Twtxt feed to the bridge: https://bridge.twtxt.net 2. You verify that you in fact own/control the feed by putting the verification code somewhere on/in your feed (_doesn't matter where or how_) 3. You proxy/forward requests for `/.well-known/webfinger` to the Bridge `bridge.twtxt.net`. I'm still testing through and ironing out bugs 🐛 Please be patient! 🙏
2025-11-15T00:50:52Z (

(#suci4fq) technically I can put the Bridge verificaiton code in my feed's metadata so no-one really ever sees or notices it 🤔 Maybe I'll add a first-class button/field thingy in `yarnd` so users can "register their feed" straight from their pod? 🤔

Thank you for the encouragement and love and kind words, @lyse@movq@bender@doesnm and others along the way I'm not sure of their feed uris 💕 I'll keep at it, but for the time being I will keep my distance, mostly off IRC, because I don't have the energy to spare in that kind of engagement (_what//if the worst happens, it's so draining_). I need to remember what I ever did any of this for, it was back in ~2020 and I wanted _really_ to build small interconnected communities that any non "tech savvy" person (_more or less_) could also benefit from ane enjoy. Even if there are aspects of the specs we've built/extended over time that aren't "perfect"™, they're "good enough"™ that they've last 5+ years (_I believe this is 6 years running now_). I want to spend a bit of time going back to why I did any of this in the the first place, and get a little micro-SaaS offering going (_barely covering running costs_) so encourage more folks to run pods, and thus twtxt feeds and grow the community _ever so slightly_. Other than that, I plan to get the specs "in order" to a point (_with @movq and @lyse's help_) where I hope they'll stand the test of time -- like SMTP. Thank you all ! 🙏

I'm building a service that lets you: > create and manage disposable, brandable email aliases so you can track leaks, forward important messages, and keep your real inbox clean. I've just finishing building it for the most part, and have cut a `v0.1.0` release. It's currently closed source (_to be decided later_) and now open to beta testers. cc @bender 🙏 I fully intend to monetize and offer this as a paid service in teh coming weeks/months, but beta/invite-only testers and early adopters/users first 🤟

🥳 Just released [Gatherly v0.3.0](https://git.mills.io/prologic/gatherly/releases/tag/0.3.0) 🤟 -- My instance is available at: https://gatherly.mills.io (_free for anyone to use_)
2025-11-01T05:51:41Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
Apologies folks 😅 A bit of a bad electrical storm rolled through earlier. 🌩️ I looked kind of bad⚡️ so I powered down the Mills DC 🤟 (_out of precation_).

2025-11-01T00:17:43Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#6ukpp2q) I had a looksie (_just to be sure_) at the database, and they were thankfully legit test events. But this did spark/trigger me to make sure I have _some_ form of anti-spam measures in place. So I added some per-event / per-rsvp rate-limiting and honeypot(s).
2025-10-31T23:17:20Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
Wow! 🤩 Are folks _actually_ using [Gatherly](https://gatherly.mills.io) already? 🤔

2025-10-30T13:00:22Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#25u5u3q) Cool. I _think_ I've improved this abit. Update going out shortly... Also added optional support for displaying gravatar(s) if you supply your email address (_optional of course_).

(#xxls4uq) @lyse Also thanks mate! 🥰 > In fact, it’s a great little invention
2025-10-30T12:29:07Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#25u5u3q) Actually. Looking at the template and the BeerCSS docs, I _think_ I'm just using the wrong elements and doing the wrong thing in the template/partial structure itself 🤔 Probably need to wrap text in something else other than a plain 'ol `<p>`
2025-10-30T12:14:00Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#25u5u3q) @lyse To be fair, I'm not convinced of the web design / user interface decisions either. I just hacked this together over a couple of days. I'm not sold on **any** of the UI/UX thus far. Open to suggestions, improvements, hell even a complete CSS rewrite 🤣 UI/UX nor CSS is my strong suite 😂

2025-10-24T12:45:19Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#7lrohdq) @movq I guess I wasn't talking about the speed of interesting text/context, but more the "slowness" of these tools. I _think_ I can build/ solutions and fix bugs faster most of the time? Hmmm 🤔 I _think_ the only thing it's able to do better than me is grasp large codebases and do pattern machines a bit better, mostly because we're limited by the interfaces we have to use and in my ase being vision impaired doesn't help :/
2025-10-24T12:15:24Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
Hmmm 🧐 I'm _annectodaly_ **not** convinced so-called "AI"(s) _really_ save time™. -- I have no proof though, I would need to do some concrete studies / numbers... -- But, there is one benefit... It _can_ save you from typing and from worsening RSI / Carpal Tunnel.

(#lgishfq) Okay I _think_ it's working now
2025-10-23T21:24:55Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#lgishfq) Hmmm nope. I _think_ I've fucked up my network for use with self-hsoted WebRTC. This isn't a PeerCalls thing at all, this is just me.
2025-10-23T21:08:54Z (

2025-10-23T21:05:34Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#lgishfq) @bender It used to work just fine™ - I wonder if it's my WAF? Lemme turn the WAF off for this tie...
2025-10-23T14:28:51Z (

(#74gq6ea) @bender I _think_ so. Have to retest it though :)
2025-10-23T13:57:29Z (

So just @bender and I attending our [monly call](https://gatherly.mills.io/events/01K816PAV86TM20G3BXG2NEG33) eh?
2025-10-23T13:56:39Z (

(#aeg43da) All that's true! -- However I am very competitive (_usually with myself!_)
2025-10-23T12:36:06Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#aeg43da) @movq I _think_ if I was younger, with more energy, and wasn't blind with leber's disease (_look it up_) I'd be fine™ But yeah I get the whole "exhausting" apart. I'll join you this year, since there's only 12 puzzles and as you say, we can "take our time" it _might_ actually be fun! (_as opposed to exhausting and pressured_).
2025-10-23T08:41:11Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#aeg43da) @movq This is actually a good positive change I think! > Personally, I’ll probably stretch it out over 24 days. Giving myself more time to solve each puzzle and I really want this event to last the entire month. 😅 I _might_ even do AoC this year with the elevated stress/pressure! -- The last few times I've tried, I've always felt far too much pressure and felt like a failure 😞 (_mostly ya know because of my vision impairment, I couldn't keep up!_)

(#xxmf7ra) Like these Car Manufacturers, like GWM, Toyota, Mercedes, BMW and whoever else does this stupid shit™ need to pull their heads out of their asse. :O
2025-10-21T11:09:22Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#xxmf7ra) Obviously none of this requires an Internet connection, let alone a Network connection. All of it can be done over Bluetooth! Just like Carplay itself!
2025-10-21T11:08:47Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#xxmf7ra) @movq Yeah, this is similar to my 2025 GWM Cannon Ute (_truck_) that we recently bought. It has this app called the "GWM App" that lets you view various health/stats of the vehicle, open/close the door, locks, control the A/C etc, all from your Mobile Phone. -- But... Guess what?! :D It has a goddamn fucking SIM card in the head unit (dash) somewhere that once you "consent" and agree it signs up to some god knows what local cellular service and all that wonderul functionality is controlled by, guess what... A fucking goddamn CLOUD service! da actual flying fuck is wrong with these people?! -- Are we some of the only people in the world that realize how fucking dumb all this Internet-connect shit™ really is?

(#zpok27q) Yeah technology is honestly quite garbage 🗑️
2025-10-17T12:03:46Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#zpok27q) @movq Speaking of "clusterfucks". Every fucking time I try to type something on my fucking goddamn iPhone's little tiny ass on-screen keyboard it ends up typing out "I love you!" 🤟 For fucks sake 🤦♂️ -- Given the size of the fucking goddamn on-screen keyboards on these things and folks with limited/poor vision, can't we figure out what I **meant** to type instead of spitting out total garbage nonsense that I had no intention of typing that makes me just look silly and stupid?! 🤬 Ask @bender how many times this has happened on IRC whenever I've been on my phone 📱
2025-10-12T22:23:39Z (

(#7iqsmda) @bender Okay 👌
2025-10-12T07:59:08Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
I disabled the compression of logs on my edge, which I'm hoping will fix the "instability" I see every now and again where my edge network just "falls off the face of the earth". Some folks don't _really_ appreciate / understand this, but Disk I/O can kill your application(s) no matter what. I/O Wait is a **real** thing.
2025-10-11T19:43:39Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#zd5jx2q) @xuu Haha 🤣 I'm already have "conversations" with my junior engineers on "how to best use" and "how to avoid" 😂
2025-10-10T22:09:45Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#3h5znfa) @arne Yeah SSE + HTMX is basically all you need really. The whole complicated/complex JavaScript ecosystem is overkill.

(#jjmfr3q) @bender No I did 🤣
2025-10-10T11:16:25Z (

(#jjmfr3q) @bender Is dealing with spam fun though? DDoS attacks? DoS attacks? Scans for all kinds of stupid shit™? Malware? Advertising? Tracking? Spying? ..
2025-10-10T10:27:52Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#f62ej7a) @movq I wouldn't consider this a "dark web", no. It'd just be a new web on top of an already existing "physical" infrastructure, where the web that grew out of that is **total garbage**.
2025-10-10T09:03:53Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
🤔 💭 🧐 What if, What if we built our own self-hosted / small-web / community-built/run Internet on top of the Internet using Wireguard as the underlying tech? What if we ran our own Root DNS servers? What if we set a zero tolerance policy on bots, spammers and other kind of abuse that should never have existed in the first place. Hmmmm
2025-10-10T07:23:00Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#zd5jx2q) @movq Oh dear 😅 We're starting to see this "garbage software" too over here 👈
2025-10-09T13:37:46Z (

I keep getting this email occadionally: > Your iCloud storage is almost full Now for various reasons, I don't want my children to be using iCloud to store data, files, photos or any of the sort. They're free to use iMessages, and other Apple services like the App Store, etc, but not storage. So I've set about blocking iCloud Storage API(s) via AdGuard Home tonight as well as ensuring that my local network (_client users_) cannot bypass DNS policies and get out other sneaky ways, because some applications will just use other DNS servers, or DOH or DOT.

(#mm22y5q) @bender We have _quite a few_ that are basically part of our friendly neighborhood. They knew we won't chase them aware, scare them, etc. In fact some of us find little cockroaches to feed them, tose 'em up in the air and watch them sweep in and grab the little suckers 🤣

I _think_ I'm just about ready to go live with my new blog (_migrated from MicroPub_). I just finished migrating all of the content over, fixing up metadata, cleaning up, migrating media, optimizing media. The new blog for [prologic.blog](https://prologic.blog) soon to be powered by [zs](https://zs.mills.io) using the [zs-blog-template](https://git.mills.io/prologic/zs-blog-template) is coming along very nicely 👌 It was _actually_ pretty easy to do the migration/conversation in the end. The results are not to shabby either. **Before:** - ~50MB repo - ~267 files **After:** - ~20MB repo - ~88 files

Pretty happy with my [zs-blog-template](https://git.mills.io/prologic/zs-blog-template) starter kit for creating and maintaining your own blog using [zs](https://zs.mills.io) 👌 Demo of what the starter kit looks like [here](https://zsblog.mills.io) -- Basic features include: - Clean layout & typography - Chroma code highlighting (aligned to your site palette) - Accessible copy-code button - “On this page” collapsible TOC - RSS, sitemap, robots - Archives, tags, tag cloud - Draft support (hidden from lists/feeds) - Open Graph (OG) & Twitter card meta (default image + per-post overrides) - Ready-to-use 404 page As well as custom routes (_redirects, rewrites, etc_) to support canonical URLs or redirecting old URLs as well as new `zs` external command capability itself that now lets you do things like: ``` $ zs newpost ``` to help kick-start the creation of a new post with all the right "stuff"™ ready to go and then pop open your `$EEDITOR` 🤞 #awesome #zs

(#ckxyirq) @movq I'm glad it make sense for you 😅 I will never understand it. All I know is that I'm a conservative socialist and there's a lot of "stupid shit"™ happening in the world (_including my own country_). I still blame extreme Capitalism.

(#bhbo6cq) @bender Yup! Fixing that now! 👌 Also the Tags page and the size of the trags is intentional, as more posts are tagged with the same tag, those will result in larger size rendered tags in a kind of "tag cloud" -- At this this is the intention.
2025-09-26T11:43:20Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#bhbo6cq) @bender Ahh yes I see what you mean. no indicate of when the post was made right? That should be ideally displayed on the page somewhere? Would you expect it in the url as well, because not having `/posts/yyyy/mm/dd/....` was _actually_ intentional. But yeah I should figure out where to put some additional metadata on the page.

(#ce7zzfq) @alexonit Yeah I think we're overstating the UNIX principles a bit here 🤣 I get what you're trying to say though @zvava 😅 If I could go back in time and do it all over again, I would have gotten the Hash length **correct** and I _would_ have used SHA-256 instead. But someone way smarter than me designed the Twt Hash spec, we adopted it and well here we are today, it works™ 😅

(#mjjph3a) @alexonit Yes well I'm pretty big on self-hosting. I've even tried to start a small business/company around it (_but that's another story for another day!_) -- Meanwhile I would encourage you to have a look at the work we've done in [Salty.im](https://salty.im) 👌

Please don't hate me today; I'm a bit grumpy and have too many reasons to be upset: - 2 counts of pushing and trying to get the simplest things done at work (_that for some reason are made more difficult than they should be_) - This whole [Chat Control](https://www.change.org/p/non-%C3%A0-la-mise-sur-%C3%A9coute-de-votre-t%C3%A9l%C3%A9phone-avec-chat-control) bullshit - And some other person things going on that have been ongoing for 72 days and counting 🤬
2025-09-26T06:38:05Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#rsrlmzq) And I need to make something absolutely clear as well here. Twtxt was completely and utterly dead back in {Aug 2020](https://yarn.social/about.html) when I came across the spec and its simplicity and realised the lost opportunity. Since then we've continued to grow a small but thriving community. The extensions we've built over time have stood and lasted the test of time for the past ~5 years. We need not break things too badly, because what we have today and was designed years ago _actually_ works quite well™ (_despite some flaws_).
2025-09-26T06:35:45Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#rsrlmzq) Put another way, what you are proposing/pushing for requires hundreds of lines of code to change across a half dozen or so clients and lots of breaking changes, not to mention unknowns. What I want us to do is make only a few half dozen or so lines of code changes to our clients and minimize the breaking changes and unknowns.
2025-09-26T06:34:16Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#rsrlmzq) @zvava Going to have to hard disagree here I'm sorry. a) no-one reads the raw/plain twtxt.txt files, the only time you do is to debug something, or have a stick beak at the comments which most clients will strip out and ignore and b) I'm sorry you've completely lost me! I'm old enough to pre-date before Linux became popular, so I'm not sure what UNIX principles you think are being broken or violated by having a Twt Subject `(Subject)` whose contents is a cryptographic content-addressable hash of the "thing"™ you're replying to and forming a chain of other replies (a thread). I'm sorry, but the simplest thing to do is to make the smallest number of changes to the [Spec](https://twtxt.dev/exts/twt-hash.html) as possible and all agree on a "Magic Date" for which our clients use the modified function(s).
2025-09-26T02:49:13Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#rsrlmzq) @bender Well honestly, this is just it. My strong position on this is quite simple: > Do the simplest thing that could work. It's one of the age old UNIX philosphies. Therefore, the simplest thing™ to do here is to just increase the hash length, mark a magic™ date/time as @lyse has indicated and call it a day. We'll then be fine for a few hundred years, at which point there'll be no-one left alive to give a shit™ anyway 🤣
2025-09-25T22:29:36Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#7fsi7yq) @alexonit My problem is I don't see a world where we don't employ some form of cryptography to use as keys for threads in databases and other such things honestly. I'm not going to use `url#timestamp` as keys.

(#vdkllnq) This is possibly the only other threading model I can come up with for Twtxt that I think I can get behind.
2025-09-25T13:22:33Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#vdkllnq) Example: **Alice starts thread #42:** ``` 2025-09-25T12:00:00Z (tno:42) Launching storage design review. ``` **Bob replies:** ``` 2025-09-25T12:05:00Z (tno:42) (ofeed:https://alice.example/twtxt.txt ) I think compaction stalls under load. ``` **Carol replies to Bob:** ``` 2025-09-25T12:08:00Z (tno:42) (ofeed:https://alice.example/twtxt.txt ) Token bucket sounds good. ```
2025-09-25T13:20:59Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
**TNO Threading (draft):** Each origin feed numbers new threads `(tno:N)`. Replies carry both `(tno:N)` and `(ofeed:<origin-url>)`. Thread identity = `(ofeed, tno)`. - Roots: `(tno:N)` (implicit `ofeed=self`). - Replies: `(tno:N) (ofeed:<url>)`. - Clients: increment `tno` locally for new threads, copy tags on reply. - Subjects optional, not required. ...

2025-09-25T12:32:41Z (

(#3h7w7ca) I was trying to say (_badly_): > That's kind of my position on this. If we are going to make significant changes in the threading model, let’s keep content based addressing, but also improve the user experience. Answering your question, yes I think we can do some combination of both.

(#3h7w7ca) @alexonit Yhays kind of love you!! Stance and position on this. If we are going to make chicken changes in the threading model, let's keep content based addressing, but also improve the use of experience.

2025-09-23T02:48:29Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#3h7w7ca) @lyse I don't think there's any point in continuing the discussion of Location vs. Content based addressing. I want us to preserve Content based addressing. Let's improve the user experience and fix the hash commission problems.
2025-09-22T07:07:48Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#altkl2a) Here is just a small list of things™ that I'm aware will break, some quite badly, others in minor ways: 1. Link rot & migrations: domain changes, path reshuffles, CDN/mirror use, or moving from txt → jsonfeed will orphan replies unless every reader implements perfect 301/410 history, which they won’t. 1. Duplication & forks: mirrors/relays produce multiple valid locations for the same post; readers see several “parents” and split the thread. 1. Verification & spam-resistance: content addressing lets you dedupe and verify you’re pointing at exactly the post you meant (hash matches bytes). Location anchors can be replayed or spoofed more easily unless you add signing and canonicalization. 1. Offline/cached reading: without the original URL being reachable, readers can’t resolve anchors; with hashes they can match against local caches/archives. 1. Ecosystem churn: all existing clients, archives, and tools that assume content-derived IDs need migrations, mapping layers, and fallback logic. Expect long-lived threads to fracture across implementations.
2025-09-22T07:06:38Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#altkl2a) We've been discussing the idea of changing the threading model from Content-based Addressing to Location-based addressing for years now. The problem is quite complex, but I feel I have to keep reminding y'all of the potential perils of changing this and the pros/cons of each model: > With content-addressed threading, a reply points at something that’s intrinsically identified (hash of author/feed URI + timestamp + content). That ID never changes as long as the content doesn’t. Switching to location-based anchors makes the reply target extrinsic—it now depends on where the post currently lives. In a pull-based, decentralised network, locations drift. The moment they do, thread identity fragments.

(#c3afgma) There is a missing feature I've been intending to add to though, which is that _any_ link that _looks_ like a URL that _might_ be an image, for example, ends with `.png` or `.jpg` or whatever, we _should_ just render that as an image and not expect users to wrap it in Markdown image links ``

(#hdfz6xa) For example, I reckon software should treat `stdout` and `stderr` with care and never output logs or other such garbage to `stdout` that cannot possibly be useful in a UNIX pipeline 😅
2025-07-08T14:07:07Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#hdfz6xa) @movq Yeah that's why I'm striking this conversation with you 😅 Not only do I respect your opinion quite highly 🤣 But like you say (_and I've read their philipshpy_) it can be a bit "elitism" for sure. I'm genuinely interested in what we think of as software that "doesn't suck". Tb be honest I haven't really put thought to paper myself, but I reckon if I did, I'd have some opinions/ideas...
2025-07-08T12:59:19Z (

2025-07-07T13:45:28Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#cj4f2ya) @eldersnake Yeah for sure! The thing that annoys me about a lot of this, is the sheer fact you can't really self-host let alone self-train these things I've been playing around with AI at home over the past few months and building my own neural networks from scratch (in Go) with genetic algorithms on a few tasks and training sets, but man it's hard™ 🤣 I _feel_ like we're doing something wrong here...
2025-07-07T11:39:10Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#cj4f2ya) @eldersnake This was an interesting read for sure! 👍 I don't think it had anything I hadn't already considered in terms of the ethical/moral points of view. I'm not sure where I stand myself either to be honest. I've forced myself to get familiar with the ecosystem and tooling, because in my line of work as a tech lead (staff engineer in sre) you don't want to be that one guy that ya know 😉 Ethically/Morally though, I'm definitely with the sentiment of this post 😅 Much like the whole Crypto hype yaers back (_if y'all remember?!_) this is also one of the most energy hungry pieces of "tech" (_if you can call it that?_) in a while. Then there's these other issues "stealing people's work", "reliance is causing humans to become cognitively weak and neural connections to shrink", to name a few...

(#da7zlha) Ultimately, Go sits in the sweet spot on the complexity vs performance chart: - Minimal syntax & concepts → low learning curve - Compiled speed → high throughput - Built-in CSP concurrency → scalable by default See Rob Pyke's presentation on [Expressiveness of Go](https://go.dev/talks/2010/ExpressivenessOfGo-2010.pdf)

(#da7zlha) @bender Here's a short-list: - Simple, minimal syntax—master the core in hours, not months. - CSP-style concurrency (goroutines & channels)—safe, scalable parallelism. - Blazing-fast compiler & single-binary deploys—zero runtime dependencies. - Rich stdlib & built-in tooling (gofmt, go test, modules). - No heavy frameworks or hidden magic—unlike Java/C++/Python overhead.

Over the past few weeks I've been experimenting with and doing some deep learning and researching into neutral networks and evolutionary adaptation of them. The thing is I haven't gotten very far. I've been able to build two different approaches so far with limited results. The frustrating part is that these things are so "random" it isn't even funny. Like I can't even get a basic ANN + GA to evolve a network that solves the XOR pattern every time with high levels of accuracy. 😞

2025-05-10T04:02:07Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#5qkg37q) One thing about my design here is that it would no longer incorporate "regex"-based rules like OWASP, mostly because my experience thus far has taught me that these rules are kind of overly sensitive, produce false positives and I'm not sure they are really very effective. For example, why is the point of performing SQL injection detection at the Edge using a WAF if you already handle SQL properly in the first place? (_seriously does anyone still construct SQL queries by hand with effectively `printf`?!_)
2025-05-10T04:00:23Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
Also spent the morning continuing to think about a new design for EdgeGuard's WAF. I'm basically going to build an entirely new pluggable WAF that will be designed to only consider Rate Limiting, IP/ASN-based filtering, JavaScript challenge handling, Basic behavioral analysis and Anomaly detection. The only part of this design I'm not 100% sure about is the Javascript-based challenge handling? 🤔 I'm also considering making this into a "proof of work" requirement too, but I also don't want to falsely block folks that a) turn Javascript™ off or b) Use a browser like `links`, `elinks` or `lynx` for example. Hmmm 🧐

(#3rvya6q) @movq If we're focusing on solving the "missing roots" problems. I would start to think about "client recommendations". The first recommendation would be: 1. Replying to a Twt that has no initial Subject must itself have a Subject of the form (hash; url). This way it’s a hint to fetching clients that follow B, but not A (in the case of no mentions) that the Subject/Root might (very likely) is in the feed `url`.

(#ceripcq) I also fundamentally do not believe in the notion that Twtxt should be readable and writable by humans. We've thrown this "argument" around in support of some of the proposals, and I just don't buy it (_sorry_). As an analogy, nobody writes Email by hand and transmits them to mail servers vai SMTP by hand. We use tools to do this. Twtxt/Yarn should be the same IMO.
2025-04-29T16:50:34Z (

(#ceripcq) @eapl.me I honestly believe you are overreacting here a little bit 🤣 I completely emphasize with you, it can be pretty tough to feel part of a community at times and run a project with a kind of "democracy" or "vote by committee". But one thing that life has taught me about open source projects and especially decentralised ecosystems is that this doesn't really work. It isn't that I've not considered all the other options on the table (_which can still be_), it's just that I've made a decision as the project lead that largely helped trigger a rebirth of the use of Twtxt back in July 1 2020. There are good reasons not to change the threading model right now, as the changes being proposed are quite disruptive and don't consider all the possible things that _could_ go wrong.

Finally I propose that we increase the Twt Hash length from `7` to `12` and use the first `12` characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in `q` or `a` (_oops_) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That _ought_ to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be [Yarn.social](https://yarn.social)'s 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update
2025-04-28T13:49:16Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
And speaking of Twtxt (See: [#xushlda](https://twtxt.net/twt/xushlda), feeds should be treated as append-only. Your client(s) should be appending Twts to the bottom of the file. Edits should never modify the timestamp of the Twt being edited, nor should a Twt that was edited by deleted, unless you actually intended to delete it (_but that's more complicated as it's very hard to control or tell clients what to do in a truely decentralised ecosystem for the deletion case_). #Twtxt #Client #Recommendations
2025-04-28T13:46:57Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
Just like we don't write emails by hand anymore (See: [#a3adoka](https://twtxt.net/twt/a3adoka)), we don’t manually write Twts or update our `twtxt.txt` feeds. Instead, we use modern Twtxt clients that conform to the specifications at [Twtxt.dev](https://twtxt.dev) for a seamless, automated experience. #Twtxt #Twt #UserExperience
2025-04-28T13:42:24Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
Nobody writes emails by hand using [RFC 5322](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5322) anymore, nor do we manually send them through telnet and SMTP commands. The days of crafting emails in raw format and dialing into servers are long gone. Modern email clients and services handle it all seamlessly in the background, making email easier than ever to send and receive—without needing to understand the protocols or formats behind it! #Email #SMTP #RFC #Automation

(#4lycrra) @bender It isn't @aelaraji's fault at all here 😅 I _think_ the only way I can improve this somewhat is by introducing a similar convergence that I _believe_ @movq built for Jenny which would fetch the mentioned feed temporarily to see if it contains the subject being replied to (_in case it's not in the cache_). I'll think about doing this too, but I have to do it carefully so as not to cost too much in terms of resources or performance...

I’m thinking of building a hardened peering protocol for Yarn.social’s `yarnd`: pods establish cryptographic identities, exchange signed `/info` and `/twt` payloads with signature verification, ensuring authenticity, integrity, and spoof-proof identity validation across the distributed network.

(#xzrz2ya) My Hypothesis for why registries didn't work and why they still won't really work today is because the bend the rules of "true" decentralization a bit. Users have to pick one or more registries to "register" to. Why would they want to do this? What is their incentive to do so? Then on the other hand, users need a client that has registry support, but now which registry or sets of registries do you choose?

(#z4hlt4a) @bender I _can_ fix and make that work in the parser too. But I'm no longer sure how to cater for the general case. It's too much to support all punctuation whilst at the same time as other contradicting rules. For example you cannot both support `.` in nicknames and then expect to be able to to end a mention with a `.` 🤦♂️

(#6kkpdda) This expands the usefulness of Twtxt / Yarn.social to: - Sharing small posts - Sharing links - Sharing media - Having long conversations - Voting on topics, opinions or decisions - RSVPing to virtual or physical events
2025-04-21T04:12:11Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#6kkpdda) The nice thing here is that any Ui/UX rendering for a "good user experience" is similar to what `yarnd` does for Youtube/Spotify/whatever embedding. Plus anyone can participate, even if they don't really have a client that understand it, it's just text with some "syntax" afterall.

💡 I had this crazy idea (_or is it?_) last night while thinking about Twtxt and Yarn.social 😅 There are two things I _think_ that _could_ be really useful additions to the `yarnd` UI/UX experience (_for those that use it_) and as "client" features (_not spec changes_). The two ideas are quite simple: - Voting -- a way to cast, collect a vote on a decision, topic or opinion. - RSVP -- a way to "rsvp" to a virtual (_pr physical_) event. Both would use "plain text" on top of the way we already use Twtxt today and clients would render an appropriate UI/UX.

Btw @andros ; The automated feed you put together for Hacker News...

(#2dh7m3q) **Timeline of Evolution of Twtxt/Yarn.social**: - 2016 – Twtxt created by John Downey: plain text + HTTP = minimalist microblogging - 2017–2019 – Community builds CLI tools, but adoption remains niche - 2020 – Yarn.social launched by @prologic with federation, threading, UI - 2021–2023 – Pods sync, user mentions, blocking, search, and media support added - 2024+ – Yarn.social becomes the reference Twtxt platform, with active federated pods
2025-04-19T23:17:37Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
I asked ChatGPT what it knows about Twtxt 😂 And surprisingly it's rather accurate: > Twtxt is a minimalist, decentralized microblogging format introduced by John Downey in 2016. It uses plain text files served over HTTP—no accounts, databases, or APIs. In 2020, James Mills (@prologic) launched Yarn.social, an extended, federated implementation with user discovery, threads, mentions, and a full web UI. Both share the same .twtxt.txt format but differ in complexity and social features.

(#2zhuzoa) @eapl.me This is one of my concerns too. The moment you post publicly ciphertext, you open yourself up for future attacks on the ciphertext, which you really want to avoid if you can. If you have a read of the [Salty.im Spec](https://salty.im/spec.html) you'll note we went to great lengths to protect the user's privacy as well as their identity and make it incredibly hard to guess at inboxes. It's still a WIP, but I'd love to see it progressed even further -- I truly feel strongly about a purely decentralised messaging ecosystem 👌

(#2zhuzoa) I do _think_ integrating things like [Salty.im](https://salty.im) _might_ actually be a good idea. I can also see a future where we integrate other things like `todo.txt` and `calendar.txt`. I'd even love to see decentralised forms of "plain text" voting too.

[Add support for skipping backup if data is unchagned · 0cf9514e9e - backup-docker-volumes - Mills](https://git.mills.io/prologic/backup-docker-volumes/commit/0cf9514e9ed0293bab7a73a0f762da09ce9d6def) 👈 I just discovered today, when running backups, that this commit is why my backups stopped working for the last 4 months. It wasn't that I was forgetting to do them every month, I broke the fucking tool 🤣 Fuck 🤦♂️

Based on a recent study of the brains of mice I estimated the human brain to have 200B cells/neurons and 50,000T connections. We have several orders of magnitude to go before we reach that kind of scale with these fucking stupid Big LLMs 🤣 And the best part of all? 🧐 It is estimated that the human brain only consumes the equivalent of 5 Watts of power !!! 🤣🤣🤣

(#zzyjqvq) @lyse I'm open to other suggestions 🤣 But _hopefully_ both adding the additional prompt, not allowing it to enter shell history and removing from my shell history prevents me from doing such silly things in haste by pressing `^R` and using fuzzy search which if you type fast you sometimes get wrong 😑

(#zzyjqvq) This is an example of what I _believe_ every SRE should master and whatever Post Incident Review (PIR) _should_ focus on. Where did the system fail. What are the missing or incomplete **Safety Controls**.
2025-04-07T13:04:59Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#zzyjqvq) Then I cleaned up my shell history of all of the invocations I ever made of `dkv rm ...` to make sure I never ever have this so easily accessible in my shell history (`^R`): ``` $ awk ' /^#/ { ts = $0; next } /^dkv rm/ { next } { if (ts) print ts; ts=""; print } ' ~/.bash_history > ~/.bash_history.tmp && mv ~/.bash_history.tmp ~/.bash_history && history -r ```
2025-04-07T13:04:12Z (
prologic@twtxt.net )
(#zzyjqvq) So I re-write this shell alias that I used all the time `alias dkv="docker rm"` to be a much safer shell function: ``` dkv() { if [[ "$1" == "rm" && -n "$2" ]]; then read -r -p "Are you sure you want to delete volume '$2'? [Y/n] " confirm confirm=${confirm:-Y} if [[ "$confirm" =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then # Disable history set +o history # Delete the volume docker volume rm "$2" # Re-enable history set -o history else echo "Aborted." fi else docker volume "$@" fi } ```

This weekend (_as some of you may now_) I accidently nuke this Pod's entire data volume 🤦♂️ What a disastrous incident 🤣 I decided instead of trying to restore from a 4-month old backup (_we'll get into why I hadn't been taking backups consistently later_), that we'd start a fresh! 😅 Spring clean! 🧼 -- Anyway... One of the things I realised was I was missing a very critical **Safety Controls** in my own ways of working... I've now rectified this...
