But I want to get back to reasonable hours so I can work on personal stuff and study
I have been buried with work lately
making great progress getting interactive sound and video working on android. it’s a setup I wish I had 5 years ago.

I can’t tell if this is going to be a real product or not. I sure hope it is, because it looks really cool. http://violence.works/
@xjix@xj-ix.luxe Saw your oldish note about wanting an offline/async twtxt workflow. Do you have something that works for you? My (very young!) client was designed with that in mind.

@prologic@twtxt.net You may be interested in https://github.com/u-root/u-root (I work with a contributor).
@prologic@twtxt.netFor example, this should work (no idea if it does).
@jlj@twt.nfld.uk “@niplav (#4qeibma) Hadn’t heard of this; thanks for the tip! Been getting lost in your text reviews; the Benatar piece piqued my interest: I’d been reading a critique of his earlier work – in Overall’s Why Have Children? – that really wasn’t up to scratch. Now I’m reading about pure replicators, which is a new concept, to me. :-)” -> Nice :-) Looking over my text reviews, they’re not quite finished (especially the Benatar one), so take it with a grain of salt
Last night I spent about 30 minutes putting together the bare framework for a dumb project I want to do. I’m so excited to work on it, I keep checking the website to see if I’ve posted anything new.
Today, out of the blue, somebody thanked me for some minor tech work I did in 2008. That felt pretty nice.
I really need to feel less guilty about not doing bullshit. I decided not to do bullshit work, and it ended up being a nice day.
I’m finding the microblogging format to be really useful for working out ideas.
@prologic it seem to work just fine for the most part. http://darch.dk/twtxt.txt for refernce

Thanks to a pointer from Richard Miller, got screen rotation working on my Pi 4s. Makes this absurdly wide display more practical.
@prologic@twtxt.netd It is pretty basic, and depends on some local changes i am still working out on my branch.. https://gist.github.com/JonLundy/dc19028ec81eb4ad6af74c50255e7cee
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net very curious… i worked on a very similar track. i built a spider that will trace off any follows = comments and mentions from other users and came up with:
twters: 744
total: 52073
Okay, my #twtxt reader works-ish. Need to properly deal with timezones (and, um, maybe do any error checking).
I have a working model for the reader portion of what I want this twtxt client to do.
Sure, you can make a bunch of predictions at the beginning of the year and calculate the Brier score for last year’s predictions, but all you need to do to feel that kind of cloud-dispelling mental work is this: go pants shopping, think of how good you’ll be at losing fat in light of all your previous new-year fat-loss attempts, and choose between pants with a 34″ inseam and pants with a 35″ inseam.
@prologic@twtxt.net I am trying to cut costs, so I deleted all my Digital Ocean droplets. For a month I will be using a free s390x VPS, so I needed to adapt some of my Docker images, scripts and configurations for that architecture. Also took another chance with Traefik Proxy, I ditched it long ago for nginx-proxy, but this time I made it work. #h5nn5tq

@prologic@twtxt.net kinda.. It can parse the twts into an AST.. but most of the formatting out expects a string to do regex over rather then the parsed AST. thats what i am working out next.

@prologic@twtxt.net sure, is the archive publicly accessible somewhere? it’s not that big of a deal if it’s too much work.
@prologic@twtxt.net yeah it would replace rice. best part is that it’s in the go build step so you don’t need to do any prep work with make.
@prologic@twtxt.net do you have any info on how the ‘!’ tags are supposed to work? are they just a different kind of hash tag?
i have no clue how salt works :|
@prologic@twtxt.net 👋 I can take a stab at it when I am done with the changes I am working on.
@prologic@twtxt.net kinda like how MX records work.
@prologic@twtxt.net I have some ideas to improve on twtxt. figure I can contribute some. 😁 bit more work and it will almost be a drop in replacement for ParseFile
Kinda wish types.Twt was an interface. it’s sooo close.
My latest work over the last few days. a twtxt parser. so far looking promising. Faster and less memory than the regex version. 😁
It doesn’t take long before the high performers on those teams get sick of picking up the slack. The high performers move on to companies that care, while the team’s output continues to decline as everyone pushes the boundaries of how little work they can get away with. Eventually management wonders why certain teams have so many people but so little output, “restructuring” occurs to trim the slackers, and the hiring cycle starts again to build the teams back up.

Spent some time at work talking about accessibility in games and loved the positive attitude and desire to keep improving
Insisting that your company with 200+ employees will only hire people who will work themselves to the bone without any mention of how those people will be properly compensated is wild corporate propaganda. Hire people who give a shit | Hacker News
import functionality now works in the !weewiki zet #updates
some good initial progress with the !weewiki zettelkasten. messages can be made and tied to previous messages by providing partial UUIDs (that then get automatically expanded). basic export also works. #updates
Did some work on WKD handling. Can update keys with HKP posts :) Ugh need to work on docs and unit tests. Boooorrring.
can someone ELI5 how to set up hugo with drone CI? i tried the docs but i couldn’t get it to work. drop me an email or find me on irc. details on my website
Scuttlebutt is an interesting space. I’m using the Patchwork client and so far it works great!
@prologic@twtxt.net () ha yeah. COVID makes for a timey-wimey mish-mash. Worked on some WKD and fought with my XMPP client a bit.
@prologic@twtxt.net Yep! installed it yesterday. I like the simplicity of twt. I am quite happy with how little memory the pod seems to use. Mastodon and the “lightweight” Pleroma don’t work well in small VMs.
That way at least we can form some kind of cryptographic “identity” without having to involve the users that much, it just works™
i like some of the work that keys.pub is doing with ed25519 crypto keys with something like that.
@prologic@twtxt.net it is some interesting work to decentralize all the things.. tricky part is finding tooling. i am using a self hacked version of the go openpgp library. A tool to add and remove notations would need to be local since it needs your private key.
@prologic@twtxt.net this is a go version of Keyoxide.org that runs all server side. which is based on work from https://metacode.biz/openpgp/
OpenPGP has a part of the self signature reserved for notatinal data. which is basically a bunch of key/values.
this site tries to emulate the identity proofs of keybase but in a more decentralized/federation way.
my next steps are to have this project host WKD keys which is kinda like a self hosting of your pgp key that are also discoverable with http requests.
then to add a new notation for following other keys. where you can do a kind of web of trust.
I tend to withdraw from everything and just watch youtube and play whatever games i can get going on my old windows box after having to deal with shitty work being shitty. Maybe i can put the last week and a half behind me, finally
also lots of subtle death this chapter. Honeycutt’s friends are all dying of cancer. Primrose is scared of “ghosts of dead whalers” working out in the gym. This keeps the uncertain fate of her parents in the forefront, and also probably predicts the fate of the dying town.
