I figured I could easily fix the problem in the one function I needed

I think I've now found a bug in python's standard library

the biggest hurdle I face with programming is that I often only have like, an hour or two worth of energy to work on it a day

and I can easily use that all up on bullshit

but the API wrapper is out of date so I'll have to modify that oh and it doesn't support local servers so I'll need to implement that and wait requests/urllib3/certifi/python's ssl module/python's _ssl module has a bug and can't parse my cert.

I can hack around that, who cares. oh I need to supply a client certificate? no problem, that's in my OS's certificate store, I'll just export that... okay it's marked as non-exportable. so I have to hack it out

although it is always amusing when my computer says "sorry I can't let you do that"

I think you're forgetting that
1. I'm a hacker
2. I OWN YOU

oh sweet laser jesus, I FINALLY have the broken client library at least TALKING to the server

this saga started 5 hours ago and I have only now managed to make a successful request to log in.

imagine how much harder it's going to be to actually do anything with this shit

oh god

remember kids, when implementing a library that talks to a webserver, make sure to hardcode that URL in the source 27 times, just to make sure no one can easily use it against a local instance
