@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.
@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 🤣
@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.
@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. :'-(
@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!"
@movq I didn't stop to think on this one. 😅 Of course, duh!
@movq this is mind boggling. How come it looks just fine under Mosaic, and not under IE3? Man, am I glad I don't use a Microsoft browser!
I'm finding this very interesting... An evolved neural network that plays the game of tic-tac-toe and so far is a pretty decent player. Here is a visualization of it's evolved "brain" that underwent GA (genetic algorithm) training with classification learning + self-play. 
@bender Well it's really just for other fellow humans that might not know better and what Microsoft does with your hard™ work 🤣
@prologic yeah, that will work perfectly. Because you are using “please”—which we all know is a magic talisman word of obedience—all uploads of your code to Github will be automatically paused, until such magic word is removed. 😂
