read bio @boots@computerfairi.es

tired: using dolphin.town to just say "e"
wired: using dolphin.town to communicate in ascii art
woke: using dolphin.town to communicate in a format that nobody has actually realized you're using yet

@tinysubversions @e im disappointed all of the ui isnt just "e"
i dont care if itd be usable, its still fun

@Noelle808 haha, jim davis wrote in the novel "hitchike the galaxy" that was the answer to everything

@riking@social.wxcafe.net yep, did
so good

i can already make ruby and javascript into Horrific Code Messes
and i'm considering wrangling perl

where do i start as far as "i looked at those really insane JAPHs and said How Do I Make This Worse"

@spiderrobotpig i just typed out an explanation and realized that like
god i don't think this would work???? like i don't know???

this is like using quicklime to heat a pool: sure it might work but like there's so many things wrong here

@spiderrobotpig okay first this is a good diagram of how hidden services work
basically you're just relaying through a node:
https://www.torproject.org/docs/hidden-services.html.en

@squirrelbutt nop

@ashkitten@toot.cat @spiderrobotpig uh itd probably be slow as Fuck

@spiderrobotpig look i wouldnt use this for anything that doesnt include a drawing of cthulhu on the front page

@spiderrobotpig basically what this implies is
oh god im going to have to draw a diagram and it's going to probably have to appreciably convey the pure horror of how this works

@spiderrobotpig what if
you started a tor mastodon instance
because you can start hidden services without portforwarding
and if you tell every server you're at one of those onion bridges from web to tor, you can get it working like that

(please note that if you do this, im pretty sure it will cause random sysadmins to have nightmares about this specific setup just because of it existing. this is eldritch networking abuse, basically)

@squirrelbutt nothing's on fire and everything is going ok
