I’ve started playing with Go today, just understood the basics and still a bit confused about the module and goroutine parts.
I’ll try to make something interesting soon.
Might play with this at work next week.
Just’ve been playing with my email server a little bit today, I’ve set up a honeypot address and got rid of admin@ passwd entry because i already turned it into a forwarding address anyway

Hi, I am playing with making an event sourcing database. Its super alpha but I thought I would share since others are talking about databases and such.
It’s super basic. Using tidwall/wal as the disk backing. The first use case I am playing with is an implementation of msgbus. I can post events to it and read them back in reverse order.
I plan to expand it to handle other event sourcing type things like aggregates and projections.

You start playing with you words… And once you start enjoying drawing attention to yourself with your words… theres no turning back Writers of Dramaland: Park Hae Young - MyDramaList
The young man, who does not know the future, sees life as a kind of epic adventure, an Odyssey through strange seas and unknown islands, where he will test and prove his powers, and thereby discover his immortality. The man of middle years, who has lived the future that he once dreamed, sees life as a tragedy; for he has learned that his power, however great, will not prevail against those forces of accident and nature to which he gives the names of gods, and has learned that he is mortal. But the man of age, if he plays his assigned role properly, must see life as a comedy. For his triumphs and his failures merge, and one is no more the occasion for pride or shame than the other; and he is neither the hero who proves himself against those forces, nor the protagonist who is destroyed by them. – John Williams in Augustus I thought I’d have accomplished a lot more today and also before I was 35 (2020) | Hacker News

Dug out my old usb audio device and now my Plan 9 raspberry pi can play music. 💯
Assuming the DNS is playing ball now, my little personal site https://www.andrewjvpowell.com/ is now self hosted and solar powered. As @mckinley@twtxt.net can attest, running on the original nearlyfreespeech.net non-production plan could use as little as $0.01 per day so there’s not really any advantage to this, its just… because I can 🙃
i think i know what to do. it’ll make more sense after you play my c̶o̶n̶d̶i̶t̶i̶o̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶g̶r̶a̶m̶ video game
On the up side: I got my first successful comunication over i2c on Plan 9 on a Raspberry Pi today! Looking forward to playing with that more.
@xuu@txt.sour.is @adi@twtxt.net Private Messaging is finally done in the messages_poc_2 branch. If you have time to have a look and play with it locally and test it out that would be great. The plan is to release this as the first version which only supports “on-pod messaging” right now (cross-pod to come later).

I’m enjoying listening to music on my re-discovered #MiniDisc players. Pop in the disc, press play and listen to about 150 minutes of your own music in clear digital quality.
Why is programming fun? What delights may its practitioner expect as his reward? First is the sheer joy of making things. As the child delights in his mud pie, so the adult enjoys building things, especially things of his own design. I think this delight must be an image of God’s delight in making things, a delight shown in the distinctness and newness of each leaf and each snowflake. Second is the pleasure of making things that are useful to other people. Deep within, we want others to use our work and to find it helpful. In this respect the programming system is not essentially different from the child’s first clay pencil holder “for Daddy’s office.” Third is the fascination of fashioning complex puzzle-like objects of interlocking moving parts and watching them work in subtle cycles, playing out the consequences of principles built in from the beginning. The programmed computer has all the fascination of the pinball machine or the jukebox mechanism, carried to the ultimate. Fourth is the joy of always learning, which springs from the nonrepeating nature of the task. In one way or another the problem is ever new, and its solver learns something: sometimes practical, sometimes theoretical, and sometimes both. Finally, there is the delight of working in such a tractable medium. The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly re- moved from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures. (As we shall see later, this very tractability has its own problems.)

@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for the suggestion using Keybase. Playing around with the authenticity idea.
