Holy shit Akkoma reference! ​:neocat_yell:​

@Bard I tried to understand what akoma would mean in english and google translate yelled at me

anthropy,
@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz avatar

@Bard it seems to also mean 'still' in greek, but it's hard to translate directly, because it can also mean more, e.g 'ena akoma' ( ένα ακόμα ) translates to 'one more', but it can also mean 'still' in the sense of 'even so'; akóma kai étsi ( ακόμα και έτσι ) translates to 'even so', and by itself it can mean 'still' or 'just yet'

language is fascinating

@VeroniqueB99 lucky! It's such a great fruit to cook with; make confectionery, jams, fruit salads, smoothies, or even just with some yogurt.. Enjoy!

writing a chat thingy in NodeJS + clientside JS.. the idea is to make it as simple and foolproof as possible, easy to host, with optional end to end encryption that's entirely taken care of on the client. The server will just forward what it receives, optionally caching it and allowing clients to pull messages based on a timestamp delta. Everything will be 'groups', a DM with a friend is a 2 person group, a groupchat is a 3 person group, etc, to keep things simple. Probably add file/images later

anthropy,
@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz avatar

@volpeon yee I remember doing similar things, and very cursed things, like basically this project and writing a 'woof' encryption plugin where every character was encoded as X amount of Woofs and then a Bark, where X was the ascii character ID.. so "o" would translate to 111x "Woof" and 1x "Bark". It worked flawlessly and looked extremely confusing and overwhelming in wireshark hahah

This time around I'm using Websockets, so kind of similar but arguably more foolproof, adding encryption later

anthropy,
@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz avatar

kinda made some progress with the chat thingy. It's a fully functional multi-user text chat now with a server end and a client end, logging and automatic replay of missed messages to a user when they log in (but only when logging is enabled), and some basic terrible themes. I suppose next would be implementing some features like inline images and what not, although I could also go straight for end to end encryption and implement those media features later on. hmmm

a different group/chatroom with some test messages, and a different theme (midnight) selected that's more gentle grey tones
the 'join/create group' lightbox showing you can create optionally passworded groups, the theme is a cursed kinda yellow desert theme

What's a good name for this chat thingy? I'm somewhat biased towards dragony/scaly names but I'll take any suggestion that's catchy and hints at its functionality (easy, secure chat)

anthropy,
@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz avatar

hmm maybe some less common word like 'Autarchy', referring to independence and self government? but that seems a bit overkill for just a chat thing 😅 although maybe Autarchat? though then it just kinda seems too esoteric and hard to remember for people lol, why is naming things so difficult :drgn_lurk_sob:

anthropy,
@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz avatar

@draconigen optionally, yes! you can turn on logging by clicking the little gear icon next to a chat and setting it to on, a red dot will appear next to the chat to indicate logging is active. Chats with logging active will forward any message any user that joins has missed since they were last online in that group. Every conversation is a group basically, a DM is just a group with 2 people basically.
It's set up in such a way that the client will be able to do end to end encryption within this.

why is it even possible to just wait out something like that 😭 that should not be a thing??

Signs your library may not be ready for production usage in the wild:

Your documentation doesn't say what file(s) to include or import.

Your examples use types and functions you don't explain anywhere.

@weilawei the amount of library creators that literally tell you to 'just read the code' and then their code looks like something zalgo would be proud of 😭

@njion brains are strange things sometimes. I don't think there's a blueprint on how we're supposed to work so arguably we're all a bit broken, and it can definitely feel like that sometimes. But you can do it 🩵 life doesn't have to be perfect, to be really good :dragon_hug:

ordered a second hand 800w car alternator for 20€, want to try hook it up to my old exercise bike and see what I can get out of it, maybe charge some 12v batteries with it if it works

now to just get a v-belt and some mounting and tensioning gear, I already have a battery and charge controller that should do the trick, it'd be amazing if I could make this whole thing work for less than 50

anthropy,
@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz avatar

@rolenthedeep I have a bunch of 12V batteries and a bunch of 12V power regulators, I was going to try and mess with that and see if I could get it working- I knew there were some differences between the designs, I think some versions even generated AC and required rectification? but I actually hadn't heard of them using electromagnets these days, I do wonder if it'll work, we'll see how it goes, thanks for the tip though!
