@robryk I don't think the issue is with inotify, it looks as if the sxmo people consciously wrote it ignoring file creation. I haven't seen a good reason for that, but I really hope one exists.

@emily Transferring upgrades is kinda what happens with some of the "jewel" systems -- I don't actually remember what they are called, but the thing e.g. in Diablo where you find upgrades in form of gemstones and they can be attached to some equipment. I'm not sure if Diablo itself lets you unattach them, but some games definitely do.

Oh goodness, I got it, if I create and fill the file in one go it gets ignored, I have to fiddle with it afterwards to trigger #sxmo scripts... how silly.

I'm quite confused about notifications in #sxmo, I create the files as specified and they actually make the phone buzz only very rarely (but sometimes!) and only then the diode turns green. They do show up in the notification menu though, so they are not completely wrong.

I know that the monitoring script has quite obvious async bugs, but it seems to work for smses and some other sxmo-initiated notifications pretty consistently, so I'm confused...

Anyway, anyone encountered similar problems?

@robryk Mieć olej w głowie? @moonbolt

@arkadiusz_wieczorek Dzięki! <3 Sam powinienem to był od razu dopisać żeby było bardziej produktywnie, ale pisałem z telefonu. @jaczad

@arkadiusz_wieczorek Czy... czy ty odpowiedziałeś na pytanie o dostępność nieopisanymi zrzutami ekranu?

@jaczad

@moonbolt There is a joke here about American imperialism and y'all being smart, but it only works in Polish. >:

@emily Given that this is about information I'm pretty sure you cannot get such a hard proof, because entropy famously only works one way.

For a softer proof you can publish the thing (or a cryptographic hash of it, if it shouldn't be immediately public) and ensure it is widely circulated and referred to -- this is kinda the converse of the approach you described, or at least uses the same ordering.

Interestingly (?) blockchains implicitly use this approach.

@timorl I really should have announced this two days ago, would have felt much more appropriate. <_<

Since it can now be marginally useful for people other than me...

Announcing MaRNE – Matrix Rust Notifier Extraordinaire. A #matrix notification widget mostly intended for use with #sxmo on a #pinephone. It produces notifications for messages in Matrix rooms you joined, the notifications can be filtered on a per room basis and are only created with a specified frequency to lower the strain on your attention. It can also easily be temporarily silenced. You can find it here: https://codeberg.org/timorl/marne

MaRNE – the quality is in the name!
