@movq Hahaha 😂 This is gold! I've been following along with our ramblings on Rust. What's it gone and done to you now? 🤔 I don't think I can ever be friends personally, I feel "too stupid" to learn Rust 🤣
@bmallred Oh sorry I should have explained those terms 🤦♂️
@bmallred Ahhh this is an agent I'm tryining to play the game of Connect3. It uses a library written in Go I've been working on that supports Neuroevolution using Genetic Algorithms. Some features include: Mutation, Speciation, Lamarckian Evolution/Inheritence.
Hmmm 🧐 Not what I thought was going on... No bug...

@bender I know I know! I don't know why I ever signed up and used it and still continue to pay for the silly thing. Twtxt/Yarn is so much better in every way 🤣
@prologic yes, I never understood you using micro.blog (and paying for it, nonetheless!). I don’t like it (as a platform), and have an unexplainable dislike for its creator.
@bender Maybe one day I'll take back over my prologic.blog
domain from µBlog and redoit with my handy zs
tool with some nice CSS 🤣
I am also enjoying the tweaking of my Frankenstein monster CSS. LOL.
@prologic I am finding writing my Notes very therapeutic. Just create a markdown file and commit, push, and it’s live. Whatever comes to mind, whatever I want to keep as relevant. Silly things, more like a dump.
If I feel like it, I do. If not, I don’t. Not social, not intended for anyone to see them. I am enjoying it!
@bender I just babble on Twtxt 🤣 I honestly find that I don't realy have the time nor the energy to "blog" in full really, I rarely do 😢
@movq why Gopher to babble, and not just HTTP? I mean, may as well just write plain text files on your machine, and leave them there, right?
Gopher and Mastodon are two completely different things. That’s where my confusion comes from.
@movq Me too 😅 -- Speaking of which i know you've lost a bit of "mojo" or "energy" (so have i of late), rest assured, I want to keep the status quo here with what we've built, keep it simple and change very little. What we've built has worked very well for 5+ years and we have at least 3 very strong clients (maybe 4 or 5?).
@movq Ahh but it kind of is mine 😅 Or at least I've done this kind of thing at least 3 or 4 times now 🤣
@bender yes but my point is my handcrafted set up also achieves the same thing 🤣
@prologic do you remember Hamachi? Tailscale/Headscale is Hamachi on steroids. They are used primarily for creating a VPN among all your devices so they can talk to one another as if they were on the same LAN, even when they're not. That was, mostly, my WireGuard usage.
I still have WireGuard running—because it is so lite that it doesn’t matter—to use as regular VPN, but Headscale keeps all my devices connected forming their own “mini-Internet” 100% of the time.
@bender What's awesome about it btw? I use WireGuard pretty heavily here. And my entire family also use it to keep a VPN connection back to our home network
@movq Considered building your own language and compiler? 🤔
@movq This was always my belief too re likes, etc.
@movq how does Gopher relates to Mastodon? Are you getting off the Fedi completely?
@movq the Rock Dove has some seriously sly eyes! LOL.
@prologic Tailscale is awesome! I run Headscale; it replaced my vanilla WireGuard install.
Great article from Tailscale about how security policies we've often seen in many large complex organizations that we all love to hate don't actually provide the security that we assumed.
@prologic will do. No worries, not a show stopper. I will suggest that the muted numbered list not be sorted, but latest muted first. That way we have a better idea. Maybe adding timestamps to those too? Just a thought.
@bender remind me to look into this a bit later because I'm starting to suspect there's a weird behavior in the system 🧐
@prologic don't remember now. I have 46 muted feeds. :'-(
I swear that I have muted all the cat's feeds already. Yet, a new(?) one popped up.
@movq LOL 🤣 I don't think I could ever take Rust seriaujly 🤦♂️
@bender @aelaraji Sorry this was my fault 🤦 For whatever reason my pod had never seen that particular Twt from @movq -- And... There's a bit of a "behavioral" problem with the Trusted Peers functionality that means operators have to periodically re-trust peers manually 😭 Need to rework this 🤞
@kat awwww, wish I could help you with that! Is there anything people could do to help you manage it?
@aelaraji I saw the original fine, but your reply (and mine!) show disconnected here. Hmm, "the plot thickens!" :-D Thanks!
@kat toally forgiven, and welcome back! :-) What's new? Tell us all about it!
@aelaraji I am missing the root for this twtxt. What was it? Hmm, referring to https://twtxt.net/twt/g5sjnlq.
@movq oh, you bet someone is adding them. Being as we are a small community, I could almost guess who added what. 😅
@lyse I am so tempted to agree with you on this one. There has to be a way to manage that without having to mute the bejesus out of them.
@nghialele it’s great to see another Yarnd pod in the wild. Welcome!
@starletvania hello ((hello hello [imagine this as an echo])). ☺️
@thecanine with this you meant Conversations, not XMPP, right?
"Also, finally getting full screen view for avatars in XMPP - a better integrated one, after 25 years. Y@ay!"
On QRs, as long as they work (and they are quite resilient), it doesn’t matter. Their design, and colours, will be based on theme in which they are included. They are getting used more now in the US. They are king on East Asia. They are awesome.
