Work notes

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!

mmmm depends. one's i've played: Dark & Shattered Lands, Forgotten Kingdoms, Shadowgate, Genesis, BatMUD, Lost Souls, Discworld MUD

out of those, Forgotten Kingdoms is the most well-made, but also probably the least-populated

Discworld is fun, Genesis has a fantastic newbie area, DSL and Shadowgate have a lot of people but tend to be hack-and-slash MUDs

BatMUD has a ton of people but is very hack-and-slash

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 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 nah, doesn#t really matter

17:33 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 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 The cache is just in-memory, so it starts whenever the browser is opened

17:38 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 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 Yeah exactly

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.

TOFU

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

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 '@@:' rule to include '@@::' -> (){ el "$@"; }

Or you can have items that will take up multiple lines.
This might get a little tricky to implement, maybe?

$(el li Either way, it should be fine, I think.)

<<. el p -
Of course, something I have yet to talk about is how much power this will take to render anything.
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.

Whatever.
I'll do this anyway.
I just need to figure out
$(<<.1 el ol -
$(el li Something to convert to '<<[end] el ')
$(el li A way to convert the first blank line to '[end]')
$(el li Something to convert to '$(<<[end-nest] el ')
$(el li A way to figure out when the block will end, and end it with '$([end-nest]\n)')
$(el li An easy way to nest elements)

# emulate a do-while loop in sh

# OR
while true; do
    body
    [[ condition ]] || break
done

difference between inlines and blocks

IMPLEMENTED -- you can only push and pop one at a time though (better)

%(here is link text| a href=example.com%)

which will expand to

$(echo "here is link text" | inline a href=example.com)

- 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:

- 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.

- 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 redo fmenu -- it'd be better to just have one program, right?

slash:

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).

--bottom, --vertfull, --horzfull, --center*, --lines, --font, --*fg, --*bg, --width, --height, -x, -y:

handled by st options

--opacity*,--dim*, --linehight, :

?title=Hoff, an experiment in web authoring
?author=Case Duckworth
?date () date +%F

;h1:class=title: Hoff
;p:class=subtitle: an experiment in web authoring

I've been thinking about a few things lately:

;ul::li
: Markdown, specifically how complicated it can be,
: Literate programming,
: Using AWK, Make, and sh in programming, and
: What I've discovered is basically Groff: macro-style text setting.

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:

;:: 

default is p

default is ""

ends on blank line

;;

sets new default (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.
