Been working on a large block of #code for my #game for like 2 months now, and a "trial by fire" test I ran during my #livestream passed with flying colors and I can finally focus my work back on my #fediverse client #bepe 😅

I was elated last night and THOUGHT I would #sleep like a baby, but here I am waking up at 4 am again and oddly wound tight and stressed about... Something?

I need to learn to f'ing relax and not let my #coding projects wind me up so tight...

My #fediverse client #bepe has grabbed over 100k create note activities it has been subscribed to over the last 3 1/2 months and is still plugging along even though I haven't had a chance to work on the #code since early November

Can't wait to get back to start working on this again next week!

I had some legacy VB #code that is finally getting written in #Python + #Sql procs after 13 years, and having.

Finally purchased a small #Azure test #Mysql instance; it's only 2gb with 20 GB and it's only $15/month. It's making a huge difference in productivity. It's taken me 3 mo to get this set of code even testable, and I'm finally days away from done

Going to pause this round of #coding and get back to looking at adding some #fediverse logic next step - can't wait to get back on #bepe !

Today is the official day 1 of my #coding #vacation

Goal is to finish all my refactoring for my #game by March 1 so I can get back to working on my #fediverse client I had to mothball (#bepe)

I've been following about 20 accounts with 2 different instances for months to give me a historical foundation and my next steps are infrastructurally critical (which is why I had to shelve it until I could give it 💯 focus)

Should be interesting to see how much I forget and have to relearn.. 😂

#Introduction -

Hello! Here's my sales pitch -

Working on a #fediverse / #ActivityPub client #bepe and #python web #framework called #Jenkwerx (hopefully #FOSS by Summer 2024)

Simulation #GameDesigner /#GameDev with a game online for over 25 years

Goal is to incorporate AP into the game and #opensource #code as I refactor next year

Old time #BBS #SYSOP and #UseNet #nerd​

Moving my #coding talk here from my my other account

@multiverseofbadness

..I talk comics and BS over there 😂

Slowed down a bit on my #fediverse / #activitypub implementation #bepe but did resolve a nasty oopsy hurdle I encounter this weekend

Allowing different instances to share and split database and cloud storage resources as they see fit is a big priority, but that caused me some distress because while objects received can be the same, HEADERS with signatures are of course different 😬

A tricky bit of recoding around the inbox logic but I think I got it under control

Time and tests will tell! 😂

Fruitful weekend working on my #Python #Activitypub client #Bepe!

Did a ton of refactoring to formally implement -

* instances with different urls can share server, database and blob resources

* horizontal scaling now allows separation of processing components (inbox and outbox queues, http requests, backfilling messages from replies, message indexing)

* split functions into smaller components to allow easier portability to other codebases

I'ma call it - we're officially v0.2! 😂

Within like 8 hours of #coding that I could use my homemade #Activitypub client #bepe for browsing the #fediverse !

..but I'm burned out on writing #code for the weekend so I'ma force myself to shut it down for a few days and pick it up again midweek when the batteries recharge. 😬

It's gonna be ugly AF, but I'm focusing on the functionality for use within an online #game and not as another social media alternative 😁

Back working heavily on my personal #ActivityPub client #Bepe!

I had shelves it during a busy time in life and was pleasantly surprised when I came back and realized I hadn't left myself a #code dumpster fire! 😁

Had a weird issue today until I realized I was still running it off of a 1GB instance and all the accounts I've been following finally overloaded things. Ramped 'er up to 2GB and now I'm cruising again!

Hoping to start using it for some personal social mediating by months end!

Haven't had a chance to work on my #ActivityPub project (#Bepe) in over a month. 😔

Fortunately, if I keep hitting my other priority deadlines, I'll be dusting off the cobwebs and hopefully checking off the boxes for a working, #python based AP compliant v0.1 codebase by year end!

Im excited to see how I can work the protocol into my current #game as I continue growing both projects. 😁
