awt[billymg|asciilifeform]: Looks like I have something stable enough to release in the next couple of days. Will of course crash all previously published pest clients. Should preserve existing handles/keys, but old logs will be blown away.
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: This version will support GetData. Doesn't really deal with forks yet.
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: With GetData implemented, some sort of rudimentary custom pest UI becomes more worthwhile. Some sort of read-only log viewer that displays all messages in order might be a nice start.
asciilifeform: awt: neato! looking fwd to testing
awt[asciilifeform|billymg]: Anyone else interested in an in-wot image hosting service? I feel like it's been discussed before.
billymg: awt: like an imgur without all the ads and js? i think that would be handy, if one could use it like paste.deedbot.org for sharing screenshots, napkin sketches, memes, etc.
awt[asciilifeform]: billymg: yes
billymg: awt: i've often wished that that existed. mc -> connect to server -> transfer image -> write out url... is too much friction for quick shares
billymg: if anyone is running mp-wp from the patch removing javascript you'll want to make this change in wp-admin/admin-header.php: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=M6od
billymg: those css files no longer exist but i missed those references in the code. i tracked it down because i was noticing a consistent delay when loading any section of the wordpress admin, remote or local dev env
asciilifeform: billymg: how wouldja 'quick' img pastes w/out exposing the hopper to allcomers ?
billymg: could authenticate once with a deedbot-like challenge, which sets a cookie
asciilifeform: not so quick anymoar then, neh
billymg: sure it is, auth once, cookie never expires
billymg: only re-auth if you clear cookies or switch browsers
asciilifeform: can't speak for others, but unsheathing launchcodes takes asciilifeform longer than uploading pic to own www
awt[asciilifeform]: asciilifeform: he addressed that issue with theh proposal for use of cookies
asciilifeform: awt: hm
asciilifeform: awt: would work, i suppose, but rather kludge
