@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

Hey fedi friends! Tell me what you are up to? No reply too trivial or detailed
@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...

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

@hp Haha, you can send me proper newsletters about your life! But text me on Signal if you want a response though
@jay9 We could have an actual telegram/telex system.

@wynke sounds lovely, let's virtually co-work. You do housework and I will review comments on the CRA VPN standard
@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.
