@movq@www.uninformativ.de I lasted for a long time.. Not sure where or when it was “got”. We had been having a cold go around with the kiddos for about a week when the wife started getting sicker than normal. Did a test and she was positive. We tested the rest of the fam and got nothing. Till about 2 days later and myself and the others were positive. It largely hasn’t been too bad a little feaver and stuffy noses.

But whatever it was that hit a few days ago was horrible. Like whatever switch in my head that goes to sleep mode was shut off. I would lay down and even though I felt sleepy, I couldn’t actually go to sleep. The anxiety hit soon after and I was just awake with no relief. And it persisted that way for three nights. I got some meds from the clinic that seemed to finally get me to sleep.

Now the morning after I realized for all that time a part of me was missing. I would close my eyes and it would just go dark. No imagination, no pictures, nothing. Normally I can visualize things as I read or think about stuff.. But for the last few days it was just nothing. The waking up to it was quite shocking.

Though its just the first night.. I guess I’ll have to see if it persists. 🤞

First issue I ran into is rapidjson, there is no package for it, but it compiled from source without google tests. But I did not check what version I had on my debian machine, so I need to check that and compile the same version on openbsd. Ill work on that tomorrow.

Messed up the configuration of the nut UPS monitor so bad it actually initialised an UPS test where the device switched itself off on the reboot of the PC. No idea how that happened. So uninstalled it again.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice!

Question to all you Gophers out there: How do you deal with custom errors that include more information and different kinds of matching them?

I started with a simple var ErrPermissionNotAllowed = errors.New("permission not allowed"). In my function I then wrap that using fmt.Errorf("%w: %v", ErrPermissionNotAllowed, failedPermissions). I can match this error using errors.Is(err, ErrPermissionNotAllowed). So far so good.

Now for display purposes I’d also like to access the individual permissions that could not be assigned. Parsing the error message is obviously not an option. So I thought, I create a custom error type, e.g. type PermissionNotAllowedError []Permission and give it some func (e PermissionNotAllowedError) Error() string { return fmt.Sprintf("permission not allowed: %v", e) }. My function would then return this error instead: PermissionNotAllowedError{failedPermissions}

At some layers I don’t care about the exact permissions that failed, but at others I do, at least when accessing them. A custom func (e PermissionNotAllowedError) Is(target err) bool could match both the general ErrPermissionNotAllowed as well as the PermissionNotAllowedError. Same with As(…). For testing purposes the PermissionNotAllowedError would then also try to match the included permissions, so assertions in tests would work nicely. But having two different errors for different matching seems not very elegant at all.

Did you ever encounter this scenario before? How did you address this? Is my thinking flawed?

Hehe, as you all might have noticed - I test OS’es often. NixOS was too much of a pain to work efficiently in (the way I wanted), so hopped over to Fedora now. Got all my stuff working there now, as well as the desktop client. I really like how portable the code is, and how easy it is to compile on different os’es. Installed fedora with LXQT, I really like that desktop, I do not like gnome at all - I really dislike the way gnome works. LXQT is just what I need.

I tested the yarn desktop client on wsl2 on windows 11, compiled and ran just fine there. Nice to have linux applications with gui on windows.

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.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net no need to feel dumb. This is why testing is nice! That being said - ill make a fix for that too :) this is why I appreciate you taking the time to test, because we have now found many things to improve already 😀

@funbreaker@twtxt.net I tested now against twtxt with a account I created -it segfaulted if you had a / at the end of the server url.. My bad.. works if you remove the slash. I will fix it in the client so that it removes the slash if it’s in the server url.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net I have pushed a fix now to git, I now got rid of the error when I use it on my end. I will create a test account on twtxt later tonight (after dinner and all that) if needed. If you test the latest on your end before that - let me know :) And thanks for your patience.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @prologic@twtxt.net it seems like the ssl verification works now, I enabled it - but also added another option as well that I now saw in the docs, and now it did not fail on my end (which it did before). I will add a ‘enable ssl verification’ checkbox (checked by default) so that those who do not need or want it for testing and such can disable it if they want.

@prologic@twtxt.net yes I will test it :) cloudflare is something I do not have on my end, so I never thought of that, so glad you mention that as a potential issue to solve. Ill check on it.

@funbreaker@twtxt.net okay, so something goes wrong in the response you get. Hm. I see you use twtxt, ill check against there tomorrow and see if I can find the issue (midnight here now). Also ill work on better error output as well when I find the problem.
Thank you for testing!

That reminds me about something, I want to test if I can compile my desktop client on my mangopi riscv board with debian. That would be cool to run on it.

@adi@twtxt.net Nothing really, I tried it in a VM a long time ago, never got to install it on HW, might give it a try again soon (I enjoy to set up my machines with various OS’es and test them etc).

@shreyan@twtxt.net first time I’ve seen someone mention gnu taler. Been following it since it was announced:) never used for anything other then testing though.

Okay, so it seems like the label\text I use for statuses does not like the strings from posts.
Especially if they contain html tags and such (which the often do), it just breaks the text.
I wonder what I can do with that.. I kinda want to not have html tags in the json reply.
Have to think a bit about how to solve it. Took a while to figure it out, the text was just garbled.
I created some long example strings with regular letters and such, to see if X number of posts would show up, and they did, but when I then replace my test strings with text from json - it goes all wrong again.

@bender@twtxt.net are you testing that from another server?
Do I make it discoverable by enabling the ‘open profile’ setting? or do you mean something else?

@prologic@twtxt.net Running out of time for tonight, but I will test it tomorrow! :) I’ll let you know how it goes tomorrow night.

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, thank you! I will test this after work today. Thank you!

@bender@twtxt.net Yeah, that is correct :) I use it for testing, but I set it up as any desktop system as close as I can, with all the things I usually use.
I’m really excited about riscv - I have another board as well, which is more like a arduino, but I never got that one to do anything useful, but the mangopo - is as you say more usefull since it’s just like a raspberrypi zero, and works very well.
But I am looking forward to that day I can have a proper desktop system (or laptop) with riscv. There was a board released some time ago that let you do that, but the price was a bit too high for me .So now I wait for the next thing to come out.

I bought a 256GB usb a couple of weeks ago, I now want a OS on it with persistent storage.
I only have 1 drive on my newest laptop at the moment, so I do not want to dualboot and such, so a os on the usb stick is a nice option.
Tonight I’m testing NomadBSD - https://nomadbsd.org/index.html
Will flash it in a couple of minutes, hope it boots fine with my hardware.

just found out about wiregui - https://github.com/Devsfy/wiregui
I have to test this one.

Glad I got my test server that I can play around with. Been messing with docker today, and got nextcloud all set up the way I want, so now I can do the same on my VPS. Getting the hang of this now.

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de this is the default behavior of pass on my machine:

Image

I add a new password entry named example and then type pass example. The password I chose, “test”, is displayed in cleartext. This is very bad default behavior. I don’t know about the other clis you both mentioned but I’ll check them out.

The browser plugin browserpass does the same kind of thing, though I have already removed it and I’m not going to reinstall it to make a movie. Next to each credential there’s an icon to copy the username to the clipboard, an icon to copy the password to the clipboard, and then an icon to view details, which shows you everything, including the password, in cleartext. The screencap in the Chrome store is out of date; it doesn’t show the offending link to show all details, which I know is there because I literally installed it today and played with it.

do anyone know anything about wireguard? I have a VPS, which runs nginx. If I then want tjat to host something from my house, do I then set up vps as wiregiard server, connect from my house to it - and then serve the wireguard client? or do it the other way around? I think I have to look into it this weekend. would be a nice way to test out things.

	passwd.Register("plain", p)
