Look, oplogs are great as a datamodel for mostly online systems that need full replication, but they aren't great for performance and being able to quickly show a user just the data they need in the moment right as they start the sync. Waiting for an entire sync is just not reasonable when your message volume gets high. This is why we need indexing at the protocol layer. Blogged about it here: https://blog.mauve.moe/posts/peer-to-peer-databases

The thing that inspired me was actually the operation of my #matrix homeserver that has *all* the bridges. The different protocols being their own services has been great. All the extra stuff and needing to run a server has kinda sucked. The matrix data model is also hard to build lightweight clients for which has also been hard for progress.

Mainly I'm working to make a sort of alernative to libpurple which uses domain sockets between bridges instead of having all that stuff in a single app. I'll be taking hits with this IPC protocol, but I think the reslience and ease of use cross language will be worth it.

Lately I've been working on some daemons and infra for making daemons so I can have backgrouded apps that I can talk to from the cli in multiple terminals instead of having to deal with single instance UI hassles.

The more I make my computer more usable for my llm the more I make it usable for me because I can do more in the shell.

Any suggestions for mastodon cli apps that aren't super noisy or take up the full terminal?

Pisses me off how inacessible android apps are when you don't have a touchscreen or mouse. Navigating list views is hell. 💀 Maybe I can get some termux utils for my apps instead so it can actually be usable. 🤪

Finally got a day to progress on some personal code. 💓

Rly thankful I get to sleep in tomorrow. Wish there was a magic "sleep more efficiently" pill I clould take to feel more rested with my usual amount.

Been playing BlazBlue on thursdays with my pal. I really suck at fighting games but I'm getting a little better. I sometimes remember to actually use the block button now. 😝

I really need a better battery for my cyberdeck. 😰

I use my local LLM to type out the code changes I would have made myself to save myself extra RSI pain in my hands. I keep a tight watch on each change so it doesn't diverge from my expectations.

Submitted a talk for #bsides #Ottawa to teach folks about decentralized #p2p systems. Wish me luck!

People are actually posting on "threads"? 😵

Linux not having proper bluetooth headset support is frustrating.

Bell's theorem is low key scary.

Prople with broad interests are important for bridging between islands of deep knowledge. How can the islands absorb the fruits of others labor without them? Artificial approaches can't cover all the useful cases on their own.
