merged this to main! really liking how it turned out. it's much more useful.

spinner still a todo. I've moved the old more verbose output under DEBUG=1

most people will never see an automatic merge like this, but hey. every detail matters! :)

got the new #SparkleShare push notification service back up! it's been running for a couple days with no problems or leaks.

meanwhile I've been implementing the client side. managed to keep it under 300 lines including automatic reconnect and in a form I'm confident I'm able to understand in the future. but hopefully I won't need to touch it again thanks to #Rust. :)

merged the push notification support! it's off by default, but here's how to to enable it: https://github.com/hbons/Twinkle#6-push-notifications

on a code organisation spree. pretty cool #Rust can do generics like this and I can delete a bunch of code.

pub fn get_option_as_bool(&self, name: ConfigOption) -> Option<bool> {
self.get_option(name)?.parse::<bool>().ok()
}

pub fn get_option_as_i64(&self, name: ConfigOption) -> Option<i64> {
self.get_option(name)?.parse::<i64>().ok()
}

pub fn get_option_as<T>(&self, name: ConfigOption) ->
Option<T> where T: FromStr
{
self.get_option(name)?.parse::<T>().ok()
} — pub fn get_option_as_bool(&self, name: ConfigOption) -> Option { self.get_option(name)?.parse::().ok() } pub fn get_option_as_i64(&self, name: ConfigOption) -> Option { self.get_option(name)?.parse::().ok() } pub fn get_option_as(&self, name: ConfigOption) -> Option where T: FromStr { self.get_option(name)?.parse::().ok() }

moved all the #SparkleShare CI integration tests off the GitHub API because I was hitting the new rate limits...

using a ssh+git service inside the CI container now. was a pain to set up. but the tests are more portable and faster too. :)

ok, finally got a roadmap for the new #SparkleShare UI written down and will discuss with @nlnet next week.

fingers crossed we'll get a modern libadwaita release back on #Flathub before #FOSDEM. :)

had the planning call for #SparkleShare with @nlnet this morning and ready to start the work!

impressed with the organisation's professionalism and thoughtfulness. they really understand the FOSS community and know what they are doing.

they also informed me of their new AI coding policy, which went from "allowed, with disclosure" to "not allowed". which I'm pleased about.

every time you allow a little of it, you'll soon become overrun. and that's exactly what happened here again.
