Discussion

So after a little bit of exploring and using #Bonfire, I think my conclusion is it doesn't quite meet my needs. I'm basically aiming for a low resource Mastodon experience with phanpy.social, and Bonfire's social flavour isn't there yet. I'd love to work with them as a user, possibly as a code contributor, but I've been putting a lot onto my plate lately. Also, the philosophy they seem to be working on is a focus on building community, which I don't really need right now.

I'll keep this instance up as long as it's not a hassle to do so, and I'll for sure keep an eye on the project. Onward to exploring Akkoma at @serra@social.jump-spider.com

The long term impact of this #eMudhra intermediate CA cert private key disclosure: It is now possible to perform TLS MiTM to millions and millions of older #IoT devices (or other devices that won't or can't get updated). The root certificate that has signed the affected intermediate certificate was added to trust stores in about beginning of 2019 (*). It expires only in 18-feb-2043, while the intermediate cert itself expires 24-apr-2040.

This opens the avenue for all kinds of nasty things.

Gender is such an interesting thing! For the time I was just a trans man, the thought of going on birth control gave me massive dysphoria. Between that(and the fact I'd had bad experiences on it before), I avoided it and used other methods of contraception.

Recently though, as many of you know, I discovered that I'm bigender(trans man and woman), and have since begun my "girl era." Today, even though I am 46, and have very little chance of falling pregnant due to PCOS, age etc, I made the decision to go on birth control....and it was as gender affirming to my girl self as when I began my masculine transition and started testosterone(and gave me just as much gender euphoria too).

I'm sharing my journey as best I can here because it's an example of how gender journeys can be different for everyone, how things can shift over time in regards to gender identity, as well as the things that bring gender affirmation/euphoria, and that it's okay if that happens. Perhaps it might help someone else out there somehow(or at the very least be interesting to you😉).
I'm not looking for *advice* thanks, but you're very welcome to cheer me on in comments, and ask respectful questions💖☺️ Boosts also welcome and appreciated.

@aceofcosmicspace@lgbtqia.space It's silly, but I've been trialing a time tracker and that makes me smile.

I really want to like #Bonfire. (Not sure why, tbh) The UI compared to Phanpy is lacking, and my instance isn't sending some media to Phanpy as a client for some reason. Might jump into the matrix chat to try to get help.

So far, I like #Bonfire, but it's lacking in a few ways. The appearance setting isn't sticking, pinned posts get pinned to the entire instance? I don't think I'll migrate my floofy.tech account, but I'll keep it up and see how things go. I do like that it's very modular and hackable, but I have too many projects right now as is.

A quick #introduction post while testing out Bonfire. I recently rediscovered my passion for #programming, especially in #Elixir for an open source project within the #Matrix community. I'm #nonbinary, #queer, #polyamorous, etc, etc, labels, labels, labels. I may migrate my account from @jump_spider@floofy.tech eventually.

@Mrfunkedude Got my hair dyed its usual bright pink. Went about a year since I had it dyed last, and it feels good to be pink again.

huh, TIL that Erlang was implemented on top of Prolog at one point

@root Step right up, and learn the trick to taking notes that will save your life! That's right, folks, your very life, saved, by a note taking process concocted with the help of a couple edibles and skimming a few blog posts on productivity!

@root lol! If you're ever interested in what I cobbled together for myself, I'd be happy to post about it. I got the basic structure from someone in a discord I'm in.

@root I've been on a real kick of trying to get my shit together lately, so that tracks for me too. I've already become a "note taking system" person even.

Thinking of becoming an overnight oats person.

Too close to home

My initial impression of #Dart is that it isn't very exciting, but it's a workhorse. #DartLang

Second guessing any and all social interactions like a boss

I will definitely keep experimenting, though! It's fun trying to wrap my around these technologies.

So hooking a React front end with a Goblins wasm module doesn't seem to be an established practice. I tried to reassess my goals with the tech choices, noting that React is good at presentation and client state management and Goblins is essentially a transport layer with security capabilities on the data it transports. So the idea is to encapsulate state inside React and propagate that state to other peers via Goblins.

There are a few problems with this though.

1. The boundary between wasm and js isn't insurmountable but it makes things trickier.
2. I think I lose the benefits of capabilities once the state passes to another React peer. I'm still musing on this point, maybe it's possible with sturdyrefs and/or the sealer tool in Goblins?
3. Like I hinted at, all the prior art I've found is a different pattern entirely, where dom manipulation is handed to the Scheme wasm. Blazing your own trail is obviously more difficult.

@brainblasted You're for sure not alone. It's a really weird time to be passionate about software right now.
