27 Qr I wonder how quickly I'd run out of paper if I just had it print everything on my timeline
27 S there's also quite a delay, and emojis might be a problem - we'll see
71 S so I hooked a printer up to fedi and now it'll print anything that I post, or anything that pings me
if it's too long it'll get cut off (might make it resize instead?) and if you'd like to be excluded lemme know
edit: it also prints posts containing "bot" and "drone" now
71 S docker? no thanks I'm asexual
71 S putting 'medicine' into the 'repair tools' drawer
71 S okay, I've gotten fedi -> PDF working, now time for the final boss (printers)
71 S fedi refreshes too fast for that to work, I think
unless I restrict it a few accounts
27 S well, using the firefish API with megalodon-rs works, after renaming video_frame_rate_limit, so... still strange but less so
27 S ... okay no there are more mismatches than that, maybe the mastodon API's under a different URL, I don't know
71 S strange bug when trying to connect to iceshrimp over the mastodon API with megalodon-rs: for some reason /api/v1/instances returns an object with video_frame_limit instead of video_frame_rate_limit
71 t? Qr what if I just hooked it up to fedi instead
surely nothing will go wrong /j
27 S you know, I could just HTTP basic auth it, it doesn't matter that much
27 Q is there some sort of web thing that just handles that for me? say something that handles registration / logging in (including the front end) and I can just ask "is that a valid session token"
(edit: answer seems to be "yes")
71 S I don't think I'll have guest access at all, I can still come up with way too many ways to waste paper
S seems like the most annoying part of the project is handilng all the auth
71 S cargo run? no, car go road
71 Q How bad of an idea would it be if I hooked a printer up to the internet so that y'all can send me silly shit
C I'll have to have heavy ratelimits, only allow people to print images with API keys, and other stuff, but, but it sounds cool
@eblu 20 S that is slightly less funny when your neighbor plays it at a ridiculous volume and causes an anxiety attack
71 S PSA to musicians: please do not make your bass notes the same exact frequency as my phone vibrating
71 S it's funny how facebook's login prompt depends on how far you scroll, so I zoom it as far out as possible to read as much as possible while refusing to have a facebook account
71 S there's a stellaris 4.0 now? did I just completely miss 3.x
and is the game completely different again from 2.x now
