I've completed "Rucksack Reorganization" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2022 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2022/day/3
I am doing advent of code in #rust
And I am pretty confident that my code is clumsy and can be improved significantly.
If any of you would like to point out anything about my mistakes/style/whatever, I would be grateful.

I'd like to build a heatmap of places I visited during the last two month.
I have Google location history json file, but the only site I can google out is broken.
Any advice?
I vaguely remember, there was a site for bet/promises.
Something where I put my money for some kind of obligation like "I am going to contribute to GitHub for 30 days straight, and there I put my $200 to escrow account".
Can't remember what was the name of this.

Spent 3 hours gambling with #peertube installation. I wish it would be much simpler than this.
The entire success of #fediverse relies on simplicity of maintaining it.
I lost this battle for today.
Over complicated procedure with strange and vague errors about OAUTH (which I don't even want to use) killed my intent for now.
If we want success it should be just 'docker run'.

Are you interested in distributed systems, how Mastodon federation really works, and related implications for testing & operations? Do yourself a favor & read @nova’s excellent writeup of experiments with hachyderm.wtf. https://medium.com/@kris-nova/experimenting-with-federation-and-migrating-accounts-eae61a688c3c

This mastodon fediverse offers a lot of interesting features for refugees from the bird app, but the real question is: why is #MartinScorsese’s #Goncharov (1973) not trending here yet?

Exploring Mastodon: volunteer-run instances are great, but require more work from those volunteers than most people realize

Understanding #Mastodon gets easier once you get the basic idea that federation between servers can be understood as homeomorphisms across hyperplanes between the Riemannian manifolds of toots, whereas the servers represent countable finite sets of discrete entities.
The idea of bookwyrm software is pretty good.
Something focused on books is something I definitely like to have in my toolbox.
Unfortunately, two days of playing with https://bookwyrm.social/ made a very negative impression on me.
I have no idea are those problems just instance related, or soft related, but it's pretty unusable.
