Hey, asciilifeform, it looks like I need to use System.Storage_Elements.Storage_Array if I want my UDP binding and UDP interface over that to use the same array type without explicitly referencing each other. There's no standard array type of Interfaces.Unsigned_8 to use. I'd welcome advice. |

asciilifeform: what block # is cement patch at? |
| |
↖ |
| |
~ 15 minutes ~ |
13:27 |
whaack |
so i'm about to build trb up to asciilifeform's cement patch to start the sync process in my new rack in NZ, and it's a headache to run around different blogs collecting various vpatches, i think that my next project will be a copy of http://btcbase.org/patches , except with a hopper . i wonder if anyone thinks that perhaps the search-all-blogs for various vpatches is a feature and not a bug, |
13:27 |
whaack |
maybe there is some benefit of forcing v operators to know the author of the code well enough to be able ot put together the v trees |
| |
~ 1 hours 10 minutes ~ |
14:38 |
billymg |
whaack: imo it's the end user's responsibility to know what they're running. and jumping from blog to blog collecting patches doesn't guarantee they'll read a single word written about the patches anyway, it's just added friction |
14:39 |
billymg |
perhaps your patch viewer could have a page that lists in-wot blogs, so that if one wants to reference the author's writings, they can |
14:41 |
billymg |
or the author, when using the hopper to submit a signed patch, could be given a url field, to include a link to the specific article describing the patch, if there is one |
14:41 |
billymg |
and then in the interface this could be accessible somehow when viewing the list of patches |

billymg: atm the manifest file includes the author's handle as per signpost's spec, so if i keep a registry of handle<->blog domain name, i can automatically populate a link to a patch's author's blog |
18:44 |
PeterL |
will this be just for trb patches or are you going to collect other projects as well? |
18:47 |
whaack |
PeterL: All vpatches |
18:48 |
PeterL |
what happens if somebody doesn't include a manifest file (I don't think there is one in the Blatta patches), or if they don't format it the way you expect? |
18:54 |
whaack |
PeterL: this would be a reason to manually enter the handles / blogs |
18:55 |
billymg |
whaack: i meant something at the individual patch <-> article level as well |
18:55 |
whaack |
atm i think the best idea is to have the hopper contain a list of the public keys of the handles that it accepts patches from |
18:57 |
whaack |
then there would be some (perhaps webform) for submitting the vpatch + seal combo, it would check to make sure the seal comes from a handle in the list, and then it would register the patch and link to the handle's blog (should one be provided) |
18:58 |
PeterL |
It shouldn't be hard to add a field for a blog article link to the submission page |
18:59 |
whaack |
billymg: The form for submitting the vpatch could provide a field for an article url, or it could be custom to include a link to a related article inside the manifest file (but this may have problems with linkrot and blog domain name migrations) |
19:00 |
billymg |
whaack: linkrot will always be an issue. if author changes his link, could he resubmit the same patch/sig but fill in a different url? |
19:02 |
billymg |
it's still sad seeing domains that i thought would stick around forever, like cascadianhacker, esthlos, and bvt, disappear |
19:03 |
whaack |
billymg: that's one option. one problem i see thought: i want anyone to be able to submit vpatches into the hoppper (not just the author) , this way the hopper has a greedy-collection and can keep patches of those who do not themselves submit to it or use it, but there can be an issue with people hijacking the author's blog link |
19:03 |
PeterL |
also presents chicken/egg problem, do you bake the vpach and then write an article including it, or do you write an article and then put the link in the vpatch? I think the vpatch should come first, and then the article can be written introducing it |
19:03 |
billymg |
aha, i.e. valid patch/sig but garbage in the url field |
19:04 |
whaack |
lol yeah the url field becomes OpenSea |
19:04 |
billymg |
lol |
19:04 |
billymg |
i guess the manifest spec could be updated to include an optional url field |
19:04 |
* |
whaack found out recently that NFTs keep a hash of a URL to OpenSea's website which in turn hosts the img |
19:05 |
billymg |
but then if url changes... oh well |
19:05 |
whaack |
billymg: yeah back to the linkrot problem |
19:05 |
whaack |
this is what i'm imagining right now |
19:05 |

there's an ircbot that you can submit patches to via |

whaack |
!h (hopper) submit http://ztkfg.com/codeshelf/my_genesis.vpatch http://ztkfg.com/codeshelf/my_genesis.sig |
19:06 |
billymg |
yeah, NFTs are a complete joke |
19:06 |
bitbot |

!h add-context my_genesis.vpatch http://ztkfg.com/my-genesis-explained.html |
19:08 |
whaack |
add-context could be hijacked, but if it's on the pest network.... |
19:09 |
PeterL |
maybe have the field, but part of validating it is that the base of the link has to match what is in your database for handle <-> url ? So I can submit somebody else's patch if I provide my own seal and have perterl.xyz/article, but keeps people from just dropping in somebody elses patch/seal and |
19:09 |
PeterL |
putting in the website field spambotsrus.com |
19:09 |
billymg |
neat, i like it |
19:11 |
billymg |
^ referring to whaack's proposed irc interface |
19:12 |
whaack |
PeterL: not sure I fully understand, why are you providing your own seal from somebody else's patch? |
19:12 |
billymg |
whaack: could technically require the submitter to complete a challenge, like deedbot, when using add-context. but why add the complexity if non-pest irc is a dead end anyway |
19:12 |
whaack |
billymg: yeah that was exactly my train of thought |
19:13 |
whaack |
pest takes care of some of the security concerns for pest-bot interfaces |
19:14 |
whaack |
PeterL: anyways, seems like an unnecessary restriction, whole point is you want an authority-check to make sure someone you trust is adding the context link, doesn't need to be more strict than that, atm i am pretty satisfied with leaving the auth step to pestnet |

whaack |
http://trinque.org/2018/06/02/v-manifest-specification/ |
19:17 |
PeterL |
whaack: there are several reasons to do it, could be I only want to run things that I have signed myself, or maybe the author is not in your WOT and I want to submit a patch for them, or just to say I have reviewed the patch |
19:18 |
whaack |
PeterL: You can submit a patch for anyone |
19:20 |
whaack |
i may not even add sig checking on the server, if submission is already filtered to those in my pestnet wot, then no reason to have an extra server side check, that's supposed to be done locally anyways |

``Adding and removing the null character from the manifest file in every other patch would work.'' Making an artificial dependency like this seems simpler. |

Rather, if a dependency be needed, simply modify the files regardless. |
