Hey fedi friends! Tell me what you are up to? No reply too trivial or detailed
@vaurora This morning: Social media, including celebrating the arrests of figures in senior leadership who done screwed the pooch and are looking at never another day outside of bars; this afternoon, a combination of financial mundanity and plotting shenanigans across borders... sadly, no Eurostar involved. (Hopefully they'll figure out Europe _has_ an East sooner or later... )

@vaurora Sitting with my cats and playing Squaredle.

@vaurora We apparently have *very* similar glasses.
@collectifission where do you shop for glasses? Mine are 10 year old Chesterfields and so out of fashion, but nothing else works for me

@vaurora, I am studying for my German A2.1 exam. Then I'm packing for my trip this weekend. It will be my first night train; I'm very excited!
@biocrusoe ooh I love night trains!!!

@vaurora revisiting an old project, but trying to do it right this time
-
@jay9 that's such a fun idea!
So next time I want to talk to you it'll have to be via thermal printout?
@hp Haha, you can send me proper newsletters about your life! But text me on Signal if you want a response though

@vaurora watching birds cute-fight over the winter food we provide for them
@janl yay nature!

@vaurora Enjoying some alone time in a school holiday week (J took N elsewhere for the day), listening to Pink Floyd and George Michael (alternating, afaik they never performed together), trying to get myself to do some housework, considering what to have for lunch and intending to go to my local hackerspace later today.
@wynke sounds lovely, let's virtually co-work. You do housework and I will review comments on the CRA VPN standard

@vaurora trying to figure out if I should attempt DELF later this year
@xgebi what is DELF?
-
@vaurora looking into taking a discord bot I made a while ago for some friends and turning into some kind of business.
I know a lot of people probably associate “bot” with “ai” but there is no ai involved in this.
@ginabythebay oooh sounds actually quite reasonable

@vaurora toying with using kluctl instead of opentofu for the bulk of our infra deployments.
Tofu/terraform don't seem to work very well, and seem to be overkill for deploying kubernetes workloads. It feels like we're fighting with the tooling too much.
The question is, am I just exchanging one set of problems for another equally frustrating set? We'll see...

@vaurora I buy mine at Specsavers, which is a Dutch chain.

@jay9 We could have an actual telegram/telex system.

@vaurora Good plan (although I'm currently also heating up some soup for lunch, but I'm also tidying the living room a bit, which is very necessary after 5 full days of having N at home.)

@vaurora (Which is not her fault, I just find it much harder to Do Stuff while also Being a Parent.)

@vaurora *yawns* it's 7:35am, still in bed after a good night's sleep. Next: coffee, the elixir of life.
@vaurora one raspberry mocha latte, up!

@vaurora Actual side project:
I've got a Nook GlowLight (released 2013, 2G storage, M/N BNRV500) that still works but B&N killed cloud support for it. It drains its own battery flailing at talking to a dead cloud.
I figured out how to inject my own CACert into my Barnes and Noble nook's cacerts.bks file; and used BIND Response Policy Zones to redirect bncs.barnesandnoble[.]com to a server on my local network.
I'm bored, so I figure: why not try to make my own cloud? ADHD kicked in hard, I pulled all the apps off the device, threw it all into jadx-gui, and used a python protobuf-inspector to pick apart cloud messages from the wire. Comparing protocol captures to actual code has been such a learning experience!
Worst case outcome: I throw some fake cloud up on something like github.
Best case outcome: I breathe new life into old tech, maybe get it working with archive.org.

@vaurora Attacking technical debt at work. (YAY) Also, it’s a WFH day so I’m trying to figure out what to do for breakfast besides go make myself a cup of tea.
