I take a lot of notes at work and email them to myself and then like ... don't read them or do anything with them. They usually just sit in my 'Work notes' folder in my email. But now...
You can see them too!!!!
At some point I might even automate this, but for now I'm doing it manually. Enjoy!

makeworld: saves hash of raw cert and expiry date for TOFU
xq: store pubkey?
--> PUBKEY // PRIVKEY
-> CERT == EXPIRATION DATE SIGNED WITH PUBKEY
it's like "i'm guaranteeing you for 3 months that i am in control of this server"
openssl x509 -pubkey -dates -wahtver
17:33 <makeworld> xq: Why store the fingerprint along with the pubkey, like why does it matter if the cert is refreshed or not, as long as the pubkey matches?
17:33 <xq> nah, doesn#t really matter
17:33 <xq> i would just announce to the user that something has changed in a non-intrusive way
https://tildegit.org/sloum/bombadillo/issues/173
17:37 <makeworld> My unreleased browser caches any text/gemini or text/plain pages, storing the rendered page, url and the link. The max number of pages and/or the max cache size in bytes is configurable
17:38 <makeworld> The cache is just in-memory, so it starts whenever the browser is opened
17:38 <acdw> oh cool -- yes I was thinking about an in-memory cache so like, backs and forwards wouldn't do a round-trip with the server
17:38 <makeworld> The cache is organized by URLs, and I also normalize the URLs so that if it has :1965 or no port it doesn't create a double entry
17:38 <makeworld> Yeah exactly
bollux: - => blastoff "${BOLLUX_URL%/*}"
USE URL-2.SH OMG
url.sh - split and join url. using 'eval'. is it secure? I'm not sure. it's attached.
another thing is attached too -- but whatever. why am I doing this again????
What I NEED to do is just parse the URL every time into a new array. I can't really pass arrays around in bash - it's not going to be super efficient but if I cared about that I wouldn't be programming it in BASH.
DECLARE -N OMG OMG OMG (bash 4.3)[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ URL-2.SH ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
A variable can be assigned the nameref attribute using the -n option to the declare or local builtin commands (see Bash Builtins) to create a nameref, or a reference to another variable. This allows variables to be manipulated indirectly. Whenever the nameref variable is referenced, assigned to, unset, or has its attributes modified (other than using or changing the nameref attribute itself), the operation is actually performed on the variable specified by the nameref variable's value. A nameref is commonly used within shell functions to refer to a variable whose name is passed as an argument to the function. For instance, if a variable name is passed to a shell function as its first argument, running
declare -n ref=$1
inside the function creates a nameref variable ref whose value is the variable name passed as the first argument. References and assignments to ref, and changes to its attributes, are treated as references, assignments, and attribute modifications to the variable whose name was passed as $1.
If the control variable in a for loop has the nameref attribute, the list of words can be a list of shell variables, and a name reference will be established for each word in the list, in turn, when the loop is executed. Array variables cannot be given the nameref attribute. However, nameref variables can reference array variables and subscripted array variables. Namerefs can be unset using the -n option to the unset builtin (see Bourne Shell Builtins). Otherwise, if unset is executed with the name of a nameref variable as an argument, the variable referenced by the nameref variable will be unset.
something like this
openssl s_client ... | openssl x509 -noout -SHA256 -subject -dates -fingerprint | while IFS='=' read var val; do printf "%s='%s'\n" "$var" "$val" done
-- but what to do with the output? Save the whole thing, then...what? Source it? Hm....

'-' run blastoff "${BOLLUX_URL%%/*}" # error handling - if path is '/' do nothing
OTHER NOTES STUFF
- to read header: `read -n 1027` (only read code + ' ' + 1024 bytes)
- how to see if header is too long???
- redirects: keep previous in an array and don't keep redirecting if we've been there before
- ask before cross-domain or cross-protocol redirect
- REALLY SHOULD JUST PASS AROUND URL AS ARRAY

TOFU
<makeworld> It's basically what Bombadillo does. I store the hash of the raw cert, as well as its expiry date. Then for every request, I pass the cert to a function that tries to load the TOFU entry from storage. If it doesn't exist, then the current cert is saved. If the fingerprints match, everything's good. If they don't match, but the expiry date has passed, then the new cert is saved over top of the old one. Otherwise, something malicious has happened

------------ from hackernews
I do something similar, although I use venv to create a new virtual environment and update pip and setuptools:
alias venv='python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install --upgrade pip setuptools -q'
And then ae and de to activate/deactivate a venv:
alias ae='source venv/bin/activate' alias de='deactivate'

Attached: expati, a function to parse @( || ) strings inline.
Syntax will look like this:
Here is a line that has a @(strong||strong) thing. Here is one with a @(reference|ref) to something else.
Note the difference: '||' is expanded to '| el' (actually with quotes), and '|' is not -- because usually you don't want to add 'el' to the beginning of the command.
Another thought: change the '@@<name>:' rule to include '@@<name>::' -> <name>(){ el <bind> "$@"; }

Because this is $(el em pretty) verbose. It's not as verbose as it $(strong $(el em could)) be, but it still is pretty verbose. Note: you could write the above as $(el em could | el strong -), too.

As you can see, a list, especially a nested list, takes up a lot of shells. I'm not sure that's going to be very ... efficient. . <<. el p - Whatever. I'll do this anyway.

also: a function to do inline @() (I hope)
# emulate a do-while loop in sh
while
body DONE
condition
do true; done
# OR
while true; do
body
[[ condition ]] || break
done
- different stacks, possibly MADE, NOT IMPLEMENTED
- blocks contain inlines -- if a block ends, all its inlines should end as well.
- pop() and push() should be more general, then -- and take a filename as $1.
IMPLEMENTED -- you can only push and pop one at a time though (better)
- inlines should be able to be piped to - so I can write, e.g.,
%(here is link text| a href=example.com%)
which will expand to
$(echo "here is link text" | inline a href=example.com)
- of course, the line delimiters are up for grabs.
- could just be '$(' '$)', since that's basically sh-style.
- not sure if I want it to be *too* similar, since it's not actually
going to expand straight to shell syntax -- there's going to be some
"magic" (i.e., auto echo and quoting).
SYNTAX OF SOURCE FILES
I like kind of a heredoc-style interpolation, or like pp(1):
Here is regular text. #h1 a directive here. this is a h1. Now more regular text.
There's some things to think on:
- sometimes I'll want a tag 'line-wise', i.e., to end at a newline.
- sometimes I'll want it to work 'block-wise', i.e., apply to the entire block.
- additionally, sometimes I'll want tags to end at the next tag,
and sometimes to enclose the rest of the tags to the end of the par.
- sometimes I'll want 'inline' tags, as well.
- These can actually solved with current logic:
- I have `block <tag>` -> block-wise
-> These will only enclose everything to the next blank line
-> how to close? --> macros of some kind?
-> is that actually something I want?
-> another option: have 'default block',
and I can change the default block
- so that a blank line just closes to the default block
and I can do paragraphs inside lists, or whatever.
- I have `block <tag>/` -> line-wise (I think?)
- I have `inline` (or will)
TO FIND OUT
- in a here-doc: if I set a variable in a $() block, will it stay set in subsequent blocks? or are they like, subshells or whatever?
- is a here-doc really the best way to insert text? or should I just have incremental 'printf' statements? and a prefixed line would just do the command or whatever? --- I'M THINKING THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST IDEA THE MORE I THINK OF IT

slash:
https://github.com/sgtpep/pmenu
problem with fzf: no mouse
but is that really an issue? I think it might be better to have a mouse-menu program (with limited number of options) and text-menu program (that enables filtering/etc).

To that end, I want to try a new thing, which I'm calling [[Hoff::strong]], which stands for HTML groff, and makes me think of this guy: ;img :src=https://i0.wp.com/metalinjection.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/davidhasselhoff.jpg :alt=David Hasselhoff, of course So, [[Don't hassle the hoff!::em]] ;h2 Basics There are some properties of Hoff that should be immediately apparent: ;ul::li : HTML tags at the beginning of a line are prefixed with a semicolon and are separated from their content by a space : Optional attributes to tags are preceded and followed by colons : Inline tags are set off with double-semicolons, with the content coming first, followed by two colons, followed by the tag's name and attributes, in the above format : For some reason the metadata at the top of the file is preceded by question marks : And lists are also marked strangely
notes:
;<tag>:<attrs>: <text>
<tag> default is p
<attrs> default is ""
ends on blank line
;;<tag>
sets new default <tag> (blank lines now make a new one)
::<???>
sets new

!title= Toward a new markdown !author = Case Duckworth !date $ date +%F Here are some notes for a language I want to make that's almost, but not entirely, unlike markdown. I've used *sirius* as a name in the past, and I'd like to keep it that way. So let's call this: !h1 Sirius! Notice the first difference: instead of using `#` to delineate headers, I'm using `!h1`. The easiest way to mark different HTML elements is by starting a line with `!` followed by the name of the element, followed by a space and the content for that element. For example, !em this will be emphasized !strong and this will be strong text. Some tags, of course, need more than just their name. !!a href=example.com!! If a line starts with two exclamation points, the `!!`s on either side will be converted, simply, to `<` and `>`, making the tag complete. Note, however: the tag's text still only goes to the end of the line. Sometimes you want more than that. !!!p id=three-exc For a lot of content, you'll want to use three exclamation points on a line with the tag name by itself. The tag will continue until there's another three bangs. !!! Hm... I still think there's work to be done. For example, inline tags should be easier, possibly expanded with, I don't know, macros?, and there should be a way to nest block elements that works better than using a lot of `!!!`s all over the damn place.

pipeline:
mawkdown "$post" | ??? | sh
figure out:
- how to combine HTML (content) and template (headers)?
- when to wrap it all?
---> render templates into memory FIRST. Or use tempfiles.
---> THEN go through posts.
---> DEFINITELY USE https://github.com/zimbatm/shab or thing.
notes on template:
- options on variable interpolation:
- just use sh-style ("$var") variables
- do some interpolation with "{{", "}}", etc.

what to do
==========
1. make output directory
2. copy static files
3. load templates
4. render posts with templates
5. render pages with templates -> really pages are subtype of
posts with some special formatting/considerations
6. render tags/categories/lists with templates -- LIST PAGES
...
