I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

Thread of stuff I wanna buy. Will "like" my own toot if I get it.

I'm gonna use this yhread as a way to keep track of links to read and like my own posts when I get around to them.

If I eveer get a brain scan it'd be cool to do two where I meditate to get full awareness of my body and another where I detach from it to just be in my mind's eye and do a diff on the states.

I should really commit my dotfiles before the next time my pooter gets borked.

Finally got around to updating my waybar config to have a thingie to show the current phase of the moon. 🥰

Been playin a lot of no mans sky to unwind lately

Coding in rust makes me feel so stupid :P

It seems I need to place the mutex into an arc after all?

`Mutex<Option<TunnelManager>>`

is a lot more reasonable. :P

```
{
let mut tunnels1 = tunnels1.lock().await.unwrap();
tunnels1.open_tunnel(route_id).await?
}
```

Ain't it funky

Here I thought I was some rust hotshot but then I need to share a mutable value between threads.

`Arc<Option<Mutex<TunnelManager>>>` is one hell of a type. :P

This post brought to you by the Minima blockchain whitepaper. But honestly it seems every single neat protocol is doing this. https://docs.minima.global/minima_pdfs/Minima_Whitepaper_v11.pdf

It'd be cool if people making decentralized p2p protocols had flagship apps that were than "a chat app but only for people wanting to bother using this protocol". Most folks don't get much utility from yet another chat app and it's just the diehards that will bother joining and end up only using it to talk to each other while developer hours continue to not serve adoption at large.

Writing tests for my #veilid tunnel system. Listening to some jams to get in the right mood.

THe bioelectrict manipulation of morphology is neat for general medical stuff but I am mostly excited for all my trans friends to have more options for gender affirming body mods. Cis people too! Hopefully once all the humans get theirs I can get my extra arms and eyes grown.

Finally had the energy/time to adjust my monitor to a more ergonomic position. Future me is gonna love how clear its desk is now 🥰

I think I'm slowly learning how to think in Rust. Glad I get to learn it by doing cool shit with Veilid.
