what is it about computer fairies that we're attracting all of the mice? 😅

@elastimouse :blobthinking:

i thought about having one in computer fairies several times (in fact we did have a bbs running in this domain around 2013) but the prospect of moderating not only a mastodon instance but also a bbs is a bit daunting

@noelle mm, yeah. maybe you could nap a bit until then so you can stay up all night setting it up if you don't have anything else to do today? :p

don't do that that's terrible advice aa sorry

@pettancow it was weird how the wrong submask made it work with one computer but not another tho

and how it DID work another day and i hadn't changed the network settings since the day it worked

so uh yeah things are hard. Sometimes things are very good. hold paws

@pettancow yeah we eventually figured it out, was on the wrong subnet mask, ty~

haha oops i accidentally killed (as in shut off, not permanent) the pocketchip trying to blindly plug it in to charge and jamming the microusb into the usb host and causing a short by accident

i don't thiiiiiink i damaged anything, it's booting up again

this project is progressing well :3 the chip listens to a file change and updates the screen, and also (depending on the sketch itself calling this) writes a screenshot every 60 frames to a ramdisk (so it's not trashing the chip nand)

what i need to do now is use my other server in the room (univac) to serve a webpage where you can update the script and also see the live preview off the chip

but that'll wait until tomorrow~
