Retrace 0x0002 -- Morgana's Log Tags: software, retrace Mar 12 2024 06:22 PM (MDT) (day 327) ------------------------------------
After a half-dozen different attempts to get Rust's rustls crate working for the Gemini server, I think I've decided to give up on implementing this with rust and'll switch back to something I'm more used to, such as C++ or Python. That it doesn't work isn't too surprising, I've always had the weirdest tls/ssl bugs on this machine due to the mismatched & hacked-together nature of it (a good fifth of ssl libraries across all languages seem to crash, probably an openssl config issue or something). No worries though, I'm sure I can get a Gemini server working!
In other news, this is like the most productive I've ever been in a while -- I guess having a set task and deadline like this is a good thing, at least to avoid jumping between projects (and leaving them unfinished) like I always do. With the finished rot13 en/decoders though, I'm definitely quite determined to get my server up and running -- I'm sure I'm the only one who'd be using the encoders, but just in case anyone wants to take a look (and to up the numbers of OFFLFIRSOCH participants) I'd love to get this online.
P.S. Yes, I know Dianthus Knappii isn't technically a traditional carnation or anything, so my symbolism's a bit off, but with the amount of Dianthus Caryophyllus hybrids finding a scientific name for a specifically-yellow one is a bit tough.
