@nasser I did something similar with Cordova back in the day. Had automatic rollback and retries since we managed to softlock a few hundred kiosks before we added it :P
@garbados Gotta keep a recorder by your bed. I keep a keychain one so I can record my last words in the event of an accident

We're experimenting with federated geosocial features in Bonfire, free from surveillance capitalism.
Check into your local community garden. Add location to mutual aid requests. Find tools nearby.
Imagine your local fablab or community center sharing check-ins, calendars, events, opening hours - all federated. A living hub for what's happening there.

This unlocks new possibilities for local organizing, let's explore together 🔥
Still get nightmares about the effort I had to put into doing multicast UDP over Android wifi hotspots.
@jimpick.com Snap! I hope I'm that cool some day. I got some haptic output / EEG input projects on the backlog which might fit the vibe.
@dan_ballard Big same on cyberpunk media inspiring me.
1. Yup, they're a USB-C display that happens to go on your face
2. Usually I set the display scale to 2x to read the text better. Might not need to with the large screen emulation/3dof in the XReal One Pro. I usually only use the display when on the go or on the couch. I have a 39 inch display I use like 70% of the time
3. Linux driver / XR desktop support is not great. I like it more than laptops. Input devices can be tricky on the go
@dan_ballard Yeah feel free to ask any Q's. Consumer HMDs are a major interest of mine
@peersky So cooool. Gonna add it to my TODOs to check it out. The work you've been doing is exciting and is inspiring me to work on UX more.
@dan_ballard Viture XR Pro but I'm probs going to get the new XReal One Pro once I can justify the expense :P
@burrito.space Literally me
@jimpick.com Yeah I think he's mostly active on keet in the dev room. Maybe also twitter?
@jimpick.com The hypercore folks have been pretty active. Might be worth it to poke them: https://holepunch.recruitee.com/

Thinking I might apply for some jobs. I’ve had a pretty easy ride doing freelancing gigs for the past 5 years, mostly due to my specialized Filecoin knowledge. I’ve been doing less and less of that lately, and more Hex.Camp, but that doesn’t pay the bills. I’d appreciate any leads!

greetings children it is time to learn through ai
please copy your questions from your ai teacher into your ai answer machine, then copy and paste the answers back to the teacher
please do this forever so you can learn all the subjects
For those not in the know, here's a pic of me using my GPD Win 4. Usually I wear my head mounted display but it was more comfy to code like this at the time. This is the machine I do all my dev on.

Per WaPo: U.S. state and federal government agencies have already been breached by the SharePoint zero-day bug. Commercial sector also affected. Tens of thousands of SharePoint self-hosted servers around the world at risk.

@alcinnz One topic that I feel isn't explored enough is software efficiancy on all levels. You can use software from the 90s to do the same work that was possible back then (search for information online, listen so music, design a flyer or write some document, so some calculations in a complex spreadsheet, even watch videos) and it will be incredibly snappy with minimal latency. Experiments like that show how much worse software has effectively become over the years, from the performance point of view.
I remember when I installed Windows 95 on a 2 GHz Athlon XP or something once and when I clicked the start button it felt like the menu was open before I even clicked. Because we're used to a little bit of latency. You can't get this effect even on a modern PC when you install Windows 95 in a VM because of all the stuff modern systems add.
How nuch of the modern abstraction layers do we really need; How much do we want? And how much do we just use out of convenience? Are native apps really not feasable anymore in a commercial envirenment? Then maybe something needs to be changed in the envirenment.
How much energy could be saved over decades if certain coding principles with efficiancy in mind would be adopted instead of making the task more complex all the time?
