I need to add multithreading to the desktop client, I have not done that before in c++ - so that’ll be fun to figure out. I need it for the fetching of the timeline so that it happens in a separate thread. That way the GUI does not freeze while fetching the timeline. Also need to add a status bar that can show what the application is working on.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! Now I just need to get it running on OpenBSD 😀

Here is a screenshot showing the client running on NixOS.

Heh, I do not regret it anymore, I was able to create a flake.nix file that builds the desktop client on NixOS.
But I now found a bug with keyring access that I need to fix. but the client compiles and starts.
It does not open the keyring - so it hangs and waits and you need to kill it. On my previous machine the keyring got opened at login by another application.

So, I kinda regret installing NixOS, I had forgotten why I did not use it for c++ stuff last time. But I learned about ‘flakes’ so Im checking into that now to see if I can use that to my advantage to make it easier. So I’ll give it some more time to see if I can learn what I need to build yarn desktop client on it.

We had a wonderful day by the ocean today.

@mckinley@twtxt.net not much, enjoying time off work and family time :)

I want to try NixOS again, and then get the yarn desktop client built on that, and then see if I can get the client into their repo. That would be fun to do. If I have time tonight I’ll start on that.

Been some busy days this week, even though I have some time off now. Today me and Marlyn had some time for ourselves - and her mother watched our kids, so we went out to eat at a resturant, which we very rarely do, was nice to do that. I had some nachos, was really nice. Also bought one of those popcorn machines for our kids, because they always burn the microwave popcorn (not their fault - its the microwave thas weird), so now they can safely make popcorn :)

Scrollwheel on bluetooth mouse on ipad does not work in goryon. Other then that it works great!
But you can use mouseclick and move the timeline as you do with touch, so its not a big deal.

Wish you all a great day!

Just 2 days at the office this week, then rest of the week is free time :) woho!

Decided to pick up my ipad again, I have one of those keyboards for it, as well as a bluetooth mouse, RDP to other machine works really well. A bit surprised about how well it works actually. I often use one of my older laptops and remote into my workstation, but this is a much nicer solution. :)

@prologic@twtxt.net by helping building it up. Positive reinforcement:)
Takes a lot of time..

I have not used AI much at all, I have not paid any attention to it. But today I decided to give stablediffusion a test run, I do only have a 1080 card, so it took some tweaking to output 512x256 images, and I must say it works pretty well. I also had to get one of the memory optimized versions. Fun to test.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org very nice!

Picture from the office this morning :)

Hm, encrypted private messages on twitter is for those who pay for twitter blue only.. not that this was unexpected, but still..

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, we had some discussion about it once it was announced. I said what I felt (And I do love VR - but for flight simulators etc) - but I just knew it would fail.
Especially when they showed the ridiculous screenshots that they where so proud of with the quality of 15 years ago.
And they they pushed it as a place to work or have meetings during the pandemic.. haha.
And they did not even use it themselves in the company.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de oof, rust.. Glad I put that away. I do not think I’ll ever pick that up again unless I’m getting paid to work with it.

@rebelljoe@twt.nfld.uk now that is cool 😁
I still have the email, and I still appreciate the gesture :)

Good morning to you all :)

the next thing to fix is thread view, and the reply to.. feature (showing the text preview of the post the reply goes to).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org beautiful scenery!

Pushed the code now.

Okay, so spent some more time with this. I can now store password - and retrieve it as well.
I’ll clean it up and get it working properly as soon as possible.
This was a nice thing to learn.

@prologic@twtxt.net congrats 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net Good luck with the table tennis!

I’ve been looking into this tonight, and it seems like ‘libsecret’ is what I need, so I will try and implement this.
I can then store password and other things (username \ url) as well with it.

Weekend again! Damn good feeling:)

Here I am, looking at my bookshelf, where the ‘12 rules for life’ book sits.
I found the way he had to be put in a coma to get off addiction to his medicine etc fascinating. It felt like the good old ‘do as I say, not as I do’ type of thing. But hey - regardless of who you are or how strong you portray yourself - there can always be hard issues to tackle in life.

Exciting!

The tiredness lasted 49 minutes. 🤣

Got that bike today, and nanook ran home pulling me like a rocket. So fun when training on commands - run, go, left, right works. Avoids all obstacles etc. Was really fun! And for once he’s tired :)

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net That looks cool!

Decided to write a bit about the desktop client on my website..
Feel free to read.

@hecanjog@hecanjog.com We’re a bunch of people here that keeps things busy! :)

Today I get a free (used) bike, was nice of them to aak if we needed it. So now Nanook can start running while I bike, that will be great! (And a challenge).

@prx@si3t.ch Clonezilla is fantastic, such a great tool!

@prologic@twtxt.net @shreyan@twtxt.net been thinking about that too. Ill check on that before deciding.

One thing I did in another project was to use sqlite that had encryption. I might do that here as well. That would work well for this.

Worked a bit on the desktop client tonight, now I store username/pass/server url, but it’s insecure at the moment. I need to find a way to store it more securely.

I need to add ‘thread view’ in the Yarn desktop client, I find my self really missing that when I use it. It will make it much easier to follow threads and such.

Back home again, had a really nice time today, was about a 6hr drive (3hrs each way), so it’s good to be back home. Was really nice to see grandma today (and the other family members that where there). Now we’re baking pizza! Time to relax :)

@prologic@twtxt.net ah yes! Did you loose taste/smell? I lost smell and everything tasted like what a hot garbagecan smells like. Ugh.

@prologic@twtxt.net Always nice to get a day off and a short week 😀

@osnews@feeds.twtxt.net I do not understand why they took it away in the first place, I absolutely hate ‘icon only’ on taskbar on a computer. Super annoying when working with many windows.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net That sounds nice! This weekend we’re going to celebrate my grandmother’s birthday (80) and my stepdad’s birthday (50). So it’ll be a lot of cake this weekend :)
