| poetaster | attah, sailprint rocks. windows, hp and the entire modern IT sector suck. | 17:51 |
|---|---|---|
| attah | poetaster: Very kind words, thank you | 17:52 |
| attah | Any particular mines you hit now? | 17:53 |
| poetaster | Ah, was a painful day. 3 hours getting a computer (win 11) and a couple of android devices to communicate with an hp wlan enabled device. mostly hp's fault. | 17:53 |
| attah | And SeaPrint worked ootb? | 17:54 |
| poetaster | 'ordinary users' are just fugged. And they are expected to get their kids working with online learning without anything like reasonalbe infra. | 17:54 |
| attah | Yeah, leave it to schools to get some interestingly locked-in platforms | 17:55 |
| poetaster | once I got the hp (6000 something) connected to the local lan, seaprint found the device almost instantly and 'just worked' | 17:56 |
| attah | After all, that is what the standard is for.... but for some reason manufacturers still insist on "drivers", and i think WinDerp doesn't even do IPP | 17:57 |
| poetaster | An engineer friend (upper management VW) and I volunteered to help the teachers wade through the foo. No way. Bureaucracies are not permeable. | 17:57 |
| attah | ouch | 17:57 |
| poetaster | Yeah, between industry 'abrasion' and institutional entropy, my guess is the best solution is a nuclear armegeddon. sigh. long day. | 17:58 |
| poetaster | +1 sailprint and sailfish, though. silver linings. | 17:58 |
| poetaster | Too much refactoring to do. To many grant applications to write. Ah, well. Choose your battles well :) | 18:00 |
| poetaster | what do you thing of 'keypeer.org' for an adress for an api clearing house? | 18:01 |
| attah | Best of luck with that :) The future is starting to look interesting honestly | 18:01 |
| attah | Interesting, sufficiently hip | 18:02 |
| poetaster | I'm writing, among others, a grant application to fund the initial development of a clearing house that would provide a transparent (financiallly) endpoint to purchase api access to end users, to pool the resourecs for api access. | 18:02 |
| poetaster | No idea if it's 'really' feasible. Given rinigus numbers, if the 10% rule holds, it won't 'actually' work. But I think it's worth a shot. | 18:04 |
| attah | Definitely... i might just bank-roll so that you don't find out :P | 18:05 |
| poetaster | I've written three outline proposals for the german prototype fund. all 'civic tech' style. I'm going to spend another day or two (when i find time) to polish them and then ask you cats for feedback. | 18:05 |
| poetaster | A bit out of practice (20 years). But i was successful in fundraising in a previous life time. Now I'm happy if i can get a printer working. shit. | 18:06 |
| attah | You really do spoil us :) | 18:07 |
| poetaster | Ditto :) | 18:07 |
| * attah should really start on that desktop port... | 18:07 | |
| poetaster | I've been shy of even trying to do the android ports of apps where the build is prepared. It's just less painful with SFOS. Weird. | 18:09 |
| poetaster | keypeer.org, is it a good name? | 18:19 |
| attah | If you got the domain at a normal fee i'd say it is more than good | 18:30 |
| poetaster | 10 Euro a year +- | 18:31 |
| attah | Could there be a handful premium domains that are better, sure | 18:31 |
| attah | I.e. the ones you have to buy from a squatter for 10k€+ | 18:31 |
| poetaster | question is, does keypeer convey the idea of having a clearing house that maps users (en gros) to api endpoints. it's an edge case | 18:32 |
| attah | I'd say so, definitely | 18:33 |
| poetaster | Ok. It's a start. I'm trying to take advantage of the community efforts (Austrian non-profit, British inputs). And I'm freelance in January. so, what the hell. | 18:34 |
| attah | Go for it! :) | 18:35 |
