Coding in rust makes me feel so stupid :P

It seems I need to place the mutex into an arc after all?

`Mutex<Option<TunnelManager>>`

is a lot more reasonable. :P

```
{
let mut tunnels1 = tunnels1.lock().await.unwrap();
tunnels1.open_tunnel(route_id).await?
}
```

Ain't it funky

Here I thought I was some rust hotshot but then I need to share a mutable value between threads.

`Arc<Option<Mutex<TunnelManager>>>` is one hell of a type. :P

This post brought to you by the Minima blockchain whitepaper. But honestly it seems every single neat protocol is doing this. https://docs.minima.global/minima_pdfs/Minima_Whitepaper_v11.pdf

It'd be cool if people making decentralized p2p protocols had flagship apps that were than "a chat app but only for people wanting to bother using this protocol". Most folks don't get much utility from yet another chat app and it's just the diehards that will bother joining and end up only using it to talk to each other while developer hours continue to not serve adoption at large.

Writing tests for my #veilid tunnel system. Listening to some jams to get in the right mood.

THe bioelectrict manipulation of morphology is neat for general medical stuff but I am mostly excited for all my trans friends to have more options for gender affirming body mods. Cis people too! Hopefully once all the humans get theirs I can get my extra arms and eyes grown.

Finally had the energy/time to adjust my monitor to a more ergonomic position. Future me is gonna love how clear its desk is now 🥰

I think I'm slowly learning how to think in Rust. Glad I get to learn it by doing cool shit with Veilid.

Systems which use neural nets to learn from user actions should expose physical buttons for reinforcement. Like if I'm teaching my machine a new gesture I'd want to tell it when it's doing a good job or messing up according to my personal criteria.

Finally purging some social connections now that they're inexcusably unsafe. This year has been an exercise in restructuring my connectome and I'm excited to see what new shapes it will bring.
