@tcurdt You are not wrong

[Brian McCallister @brianm]

@cowtowncoder We were in similar situation a year ago. TBH, I liked the hand washing. We went back to machine, but we were MUCH better about keeping up with the dishes when hand washing.

Excalidraw ( @excalidraw ) really is VERY good. Has replaced Omnigraffle for all my drawing needs.

[Brian McCallister @brianm]

@cowtowncoder https://t.co/lgXIthePVa - but if it sticks, I'll probably wind up migrating to something I control.

[Brian McCallister @brianm]

@osi @bluxte @tcurdt @urbit Any sane impl would be hugely multi-tenant in reality, but the processing and data is owned/controlled by the end user, not the app author, and from their perspective they are only tenant.

[Brian McCallister @brianm]

@osi @bluxte @tcurdt @urbit Yeah, n3xt was going down this path too, in some iterations. I think go-to-market as "user-owned (and uninstallable) backend for app" in existing app store is most viable path.

Logically, a single-tenant Parse or Firebase attached to an install model you understand.

[Brian McCallister @brianm]

@tcurdt @bluxte I think we are years out from it, and that "it" will appear from apple/google making it a personal phone backend where you can install continuous processing stuff.

[Brian McCallister @brianm]

@tcurdt @bluxte Brings me back to the idea of "personal infra" -- I don't want to make my laptop the hub of that identity, but I don't want to trust random clever-name admins either. Want AWS analogue of my phone, with similar easy install/run model for apps.

1) Safari keeps a quite long history
2) I apparently haven’t gone to many things starting with “home” in a while

@tcurdt Implement xmpp server, then stop federating with other xmpp servers, then stop allowing xmpp

[Brian McCallister @brianm]

@tcurdt There is no trusted host yet, and you need to understand too much to even realize it, so far. The question will be, if a trusted host gets meaningful mindshare, will it federate? I suspect it’ll want to go the way of gtalk.

[Brian McCallister @brianm]

@tcurdt If it takes off, owning your identity will matter.

@tug The bananas are really throwing me off

Rust `tracing` crate seems to be the new logging hotness, and it seems nice, but is there any convenient way to get `env_logger` type functionality for it?

[Brian McCallister @brianm]

@rit Lock picking practice!

[Brian McCallister @brianm]

@tcurdt @janl A decent index and browser for content from a major digital content merchant which doesn't provide such a tool or the APIs to build one.

Involves user-interactive scraping of said digital content metadata (not the content itself), and Tauri made that easy.

[Brian McCallister @brianm]

@tcurdt @janl Am using Tauri right now. So far works great, but I have not asked it for anything truly weird yet.
