gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: asciilifeform: awt: Are we aiming to support the transferring of files in the 0xFA version of Pest?
deedbot[asciilifeform]: $29,493
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: Will there be a "side channels" mechanism eventually, in order to support audio- and video-streaming?
awt[asciilifeform]: gregorynyssa: I will let asciilifeform answer re: spec. signpost has been working on an implementation of online codes that can be used as the underlying mechanism for file transfer, and I believe various proposals for pest message types to enable it have been discus
awt[asciilifeform]: sed.
shinoa[asciilifeform]: ahahaha I forgot to download the images when building akris last night, just now noticed the flag in console ^_^
awt[asciilifeform]: shinoa: lol yeah when adding the image I neglected to consider that diff can't handle binaries so had to make some last minute adjustments
shinohai[asciilifeform]: I can't remember, but can't you save images as base64 and embed them in python3 ?
signpost[asciilifeform]: you can, but that'd be kind of a wank to jam it into a vpatch
asciilifeform: gregorynyssa: see awt's reply. these will go in 4.2.4 'Binary Message' eventually.
awt[asciilifeform]: shinohai: pretty sure you can
signpost[asciilifeform]: resulting patch would be as human hostile as it gets
shinohai[asciilifeform]: Point, since nfi what that base64 string contains.
shinoa[asciilifeform]: gm asciilifeform! o/
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: Hello, I am testing the GUI client.
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: It is working.
asciilifeform: both of these 404
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: It appears that imgur.com is not working. Is there an image-hosting website which anyone can recommend?
signpost[asciilifeform]: least pain in the ass is just standing yourself up an nginx somewhere and scp'ing screenshot files to it

gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: Here you go.
signpost[asciilifeform]: would be nice to set proper mimetypes on these so they display in browser rather than download
signpost[asciilifeform]: just nit-picking over here
signpost[asciilifeform]: anyway, cool to hear that your client is coming along too, gregorynyssa
awt[asciilifeform]: very cool gregorynyssa!
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/pest/2023-07-27#1029539 << You are right. My nginx(1) skills are still insufficient.

gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: signpost: awt: Thanks for your encouragement.
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: If anyone wants a copy of the Java implementation, which is tentatively named ChinaPestProgram, please send me an email.
gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: Alternatively, send me a GPG message using paste.deedbot.org with your email-address indicated.
signpost[asciilifeform]: gregorynyssa: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=h9Cw << sure I'll take a look
asciilifeform: gregorynyssa: from screenshit, loox like yours might be the 1st mswin pestron?
asciilifeform: gregorynyssa: are you currently in china? ( may be interesting to test pest vs. the 'great wall' )
asciilifeform: ( in particular, in light of this thrd )
bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2023-07-01 12:14:53 asciilifeform[5]: re: censors, was thinking : possibly pest oughta take 1st 496 bytes of incoming packet (i.e. permit rng padding to random size within some range), station ops may need to trade 'no frags' for 'not making pesticity obvious to snoops by size'
billymg[asciilifeform]: pressed akris and got it running, can't seem to submit any commands in the gui. can type/clear text just fine, can switch tabs between "broadcast messages" and "console", but pressing 'enter' does nothing. gentoo/xorg/dwm
billymg[asciilifeform]: some initial feedback/requests for the GUI: have it respect Xft.dpi or include a flag for setting a custom font size (text looks tiny on my 4k monitor), bind ctrl-q for killing the application
billymg[asciilifeform]: copy/paste works, from the right-click context menu or ctrl-c/v, and uses the same buffer as other X apps (neat!)
awt[asciilifeform]: billymg: hmmm. The text fields are bound to the '<Enter>' event. Maybe needs to check for another? Would be good to know what event is being sent when you hit enter. Not sure how to capture that.
billymg[asciilifeform]: awt: here's what 'xev' gives me for my enter key: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=ecB8
billymg[asciilifeform]: possibly that it's 'Return' and not 'Enter'. xev shows my number pad enter key as 'KP_Enter' and that also didn't work in akris
awt[asciilifeform]: billymg: Oh shoot, I was wrong - the text fields bind to Return, not Enter. For the broadcast messages tab, the code is in MessageEntry.py line 51. For the console, it's in console.py line 55.
awt[asciilifeform]: May need to add an enter button or something.
billymg[asciilifeform]: i'll check those lines, but at the moment neither the qwerty Return key or the numpad Enter key work in either tab
billymg[asciilifeform]: to clarify, my main enter key sending 'Return' event (shown in this output)
bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2023-07-27 14:33:07 billymg: awt: here's what 'xev' gives me for my enter key: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=ecB8
awt[asciilifeform]: billymg: there definitely needs to be a way to adjust the font size.

gregorynyssa[asciilifeform]: I found this to be an informative essay.
