Wanted: a cli program to sync scuttlebutt feeds

I don’t want to run a GUI, or a server. I don’t want a JavaScript app. Something in Golang or Rust.

Sing psalms

so so so exhausted

Someone on irc pointed me to this <3 https://dev.scuttlebutt.nz/#/

scuttlebutt is such a great idea...

... the reference implementation? not so much

layers and layers of javascript, custom js db, looking around in .ssb it's a huge mess

I wanted to see how hard it would be reimplement it so I could have a cli/emacs client. No info anywhere apart from the fairly high level protocol guide (which is great).

Found it. It's called the PGP word list.

Any cool ways of backing up your private keys? Paper, QR, etc? I remember reading about a way of encoding this type of stuff in a way that could spoken over the phone. But I can’t find anywhere. Preferably something that doesn’t require internet access.

I followed a bunch of photographers on Twitter and inadvertently followed myself into this weird circlejerk where my feed is now like 30% retweets among these people. And it’s all trash photography.

Read through the scuttlebutt protocol and it looks really cool.

I'm going to try running my own single-user instance of Mastodon.
