After yarnd
v0.16 is released and the next round of specification updates are done and dusted, who wants me to have another crack at building Twtxt and activity pub integration support?

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) π
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's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! π± #Twtxt #Update
Just like we don't write emails by hand anymore (See: #a3adoka), we donβt manually write Twts or update our twtxt.txt
feeds. Instead, we use modern Twtxt clients that conform to the specifications at Twtxt.dev for a seamless, automated experience. #Twtxt #Twt #UserExperience
Today I added support for Let's Encrypt to eris via DNS-01 challenge. Updated the gcore libdns package I wrote for Caddy, Maddy and now Eris. Add support for yarn's cache to support # type = bot
and optionally # retention = N
so that feeds like @tiktok work like they did before, and... Updated some internal metrics in yarnd
to be IMO "better", with queue depth, queue time and last processing time for feeds.
