Hey, found an example of Web auth with (Self signed) Client certificates,
Works on Win 10 with Edge and Firefox, couldn't make it work (yet) on Brave.
Interesting experiment, perhaps I'll implement it as a login method in some of my web projects (to keep achieving passwordless logins)
@eaplmx unrelated to this but, please, scratch my curiosity itch. Is there a reason why you type each sentence on its own paragraph? The three sentences on this twt of yours relate to the same thing; they belong to the same paragraph. I look forward to your answer. Thanks!
Sorry...
For...
Doing that...
I think it's basically to separate ideas (I worked on Press and media, so perhaps it's an old habit)...
Indeed, you ask interesting questions. I haven't realized I do that.
That being said, like on code formatting, it's a matter of style and readability, I guess...
Ok, I found what's going on with twtxt.net. If I use the upper Textbox it works (it's inserting there the Twt code, like #45lcr2a, and the user.
In the lower Textbox inside a Thread, it's not inserting it
Aaaand sorry for the extra lines and grammar, I was writing this post/twt while I was in a meeting, and my brain can't multitask that much

@eaplmx, I can still see your replies, without the mentioning. The mentioning helps---because I can click on the "Mentions" on the menu, and see everyone twts addressing me---but it is not absolutely required.
The reason I asked was because it helps me with legibility; that is, to see and read a flow of ideas that coexist under the same "theme". When multiple small sentences are used it doesn't a) look good, and/or b) read well. But don't mind me much, I am just that fastidious. 😂
@eaplmx I _think_ what's going on here is that we don't expand -mentions if you specifically don't have an alias/nick that matches in your "Following" list of feeds. You very likely don't _actually_ follow @fastidious do you? That's okay, because Yarn is both decentralized and distributed -- That is to say the mechanisms at play here actually distribute content between pods when they have to / should. We're also working on (_eventualy_) some kind of Pod gossiping too. The goal here is that you should not need to follow the world in order to enjoy participation in Yarns

@prologic but I follow him, and I am getting the same behaviour. Again, only on mobile web. I haven't been able to replicate it on desktop.
@prologic yup, you are quite right. I was using a user on your pod that doesn't follow @eaplmx hence no nick lookup is possible (not on the nick following list). Duh! 😅
