Sorry to hear about the final. If you’re looking for prompts to write about, I like thinking that Crowley is super up-to-date with modern technology, lingo, and social media. Aziraphale is not. Crowley tries to get Azi to learn how to use Instagram, or something.

I’ll probably be taking prompts for the next few days, at least. Since I, like Aziraphale, am social-media inept, hopefully this was something along the lines of what you were looking for :)

—

Aziraphale huffed and folded his arms, leaning back in the chair and frowning irritably at the screen. “I just don’t see the point.”

“The point, angel,” Crowley said, “is that it’s the twenty-first century. It will not kill you to use social media.” The demon was currently standing over Aziraphale, pressed against the angel’s back, an arm on either side of him as he clicked away at Aziraphale’s ancient computer. Well, ancient by Crowley’s standards: he’d gifted Aziraphale a new one about ten years ago, much less bulky than the original goliath he’d owned, and Aziraphale had not updated it since. Crowley only had an ultra slim ‘business’ laptop for the look of the thing, preferring to do everything through his smartphone, but he’d never managed to get Aziraphale beyond a flip phone so computer it was.

“It hardly seems necessary.”

Crowley clicked onto the next screen and glanced at the angel. “Relax,” he said. “Be glad I’m not trying to sign you up for Instagram or Twitter.” He gestured at the Facebook login screen with a flourish. “This is old people social media, angel. Perfect for you.”

“I resent that,” Aziraphale said, although with slightly less rancour. He peered at the screen with a little more interest. “So, I just…fill in these little boxes and the computer does the rest?”

“Yep.” Crowley paused. “You do have an email account, right?”

Aziraphale scoffed. “Of course. I use it to keep in touch with Miss Anathema. And with other specialists in my trade, of course.”

Crowley straightened up and grinned. “Well, think about how many more specialists you can keep in contact with by following them on social media.”

“Do you think?”

Crowley nodded sagely. “Oh, sure. Loads.”

Aziraphale began filling out the information, using the name and age currently on all his paperwork. Idly, he asked, “Do you have a Facebook, my dear?”

“I do.” He never used it, but he hadn’t wanted to delete the account in case the angel had ever come around. “We can be friends.”

“I rather hope we’re more than friends at this point,” Aziraphale pointed out.

Crowley rolled his eyes. “Facebook friends, angel. It’s how people follow each other.”

“I see.” Aziraphale hit the sign up button, and blinked when it brought him to the next page. “Crowley, it wants me to fill more things in.”

Crowley rested his chin on Aziraphale’s shoulder, draping himself over the angel. “That’s just extra stuff,” he said. “Gender, relationship status, profile photo, that sort of thing.”

Aziraphale frowned at the options. Tentatively, he selected male, and then turned to the relationship status. “Should I put ‘it’s complicated’?”

Crowley winced. “Please don’t.”

“Why not? Our relationship is complicated. It’s not accurate to simply say we are dating or married, and we certainly aren’t single.”

“Yeah, but…” Crowley nosed at the angel’s cheek. “’It’s complicated’ means you’re kind-of-sort-of not in a relationship at all, really.” He kissed the corner of Aziraphale’s lips. “And we most certainly are.”

“I see. What do you have on your Facebook, then?”

“I said we’re married.” He glanced worriedly at Aziraphale. “That’s alright, isn’t it?”

“Quite alright.” Aziraphale smiled and clicked the button. He filled out a few more bubbles, and then stopped on the profile photo and banner. “I don’t think I have any personal photographs. Should I just put something generic?”

“Nah, hang on.” Crowley fished his phone out of his pocket and hopped up on the desk, propping his feet on Aziraphale’s chair. He flicked through his album, and then sent two to an email account his own disused one barely remembered. “I’ve sent a couple pictures to your email. Let me know what you think.”

Aziraphale opened a new tab and drew up his email with surprising ease. Crowley was impressed. Apparently, it wasn’t the technology that Aziraphale struggled with, just the application. Aziraphale clicked onto the email and stared. He looked at the photos, then back at Crowley. “When did you…?”

Crowley grinned. “I take lots of photos of you, angel. That way I can look at you when you’re not around.”

The profile photo he’d selected was from a few months ago at St. James’s Park. The sun had hit Aziraphale’s hair just right, giving him a beautiful halo of light that Crowley had though too ironic (and stunning) not to capture. Aziraphale was grinning in the picture, his eyes shining. He had, if Crowley remembered correctly, been expounding on a rare new edition he’d just gotten in. He was gorgeous.Aziraphale looked at the other one. “This is you, isn’t it?” he said. As if he could ever confuse Crowley for any other snake.

“It’s the bookshop, too,” Crowley pointed out. In the picture, he was draped in serpentine form over a pile of prophecy books, some open to random pages. “So it works.”

“How did you manage to take it?”

“Carefully.” Thank someone for phone camera timers.

With a little assistance, Aziraphale managed to transfer the images from his email to his Facebook profile. He looked at Crowley. “Now what?”

Crowley opened his app. “Hang on. I’m sending you a friend request.” It popped up on the screen with a ping. “Now hit accept.”

Aziraphale did. “Is that all?”

“That’s pretty much it,” Crowley said. “You can make posts, if you like, or look for other people.”

“What would I post about?”

“I dunno,” Crowley shrugged. “Book covers? Old memes?”

“What’s a meme?”

“Never mind.”

Aziraphale clicked curiously onto Crowley’s account and shot him a sappy grin. “Oh, my darling. Your profile picture is both of us?”

“Yeah, well,” Crowley mumbled. “You didn’t have an account.”

“It’s sweet.”

“It’s not a big deal.” His banner was him sprawled across the hood of the Bentley. He’d figured at least one of the photos should have his husband in it.

He slid into Aziraphale’s lap and wrapped his arms around the angel’s shoulders. “There you go,” he said, grinning. “You’re on social media now. Even if it is just Facebook.”

“Are you pleased?”

“I am.”

“Good.” Aziraphale leaned in and kissed him.

Crowley would ignore most of Aziraphale’s Facebook posts after that; the angel still didn’t seem to have a grasp of what the point of Facebook was, and more often than not his posts were nonsense. But he also sometimes posted things like “My husband looks beautiful today” and “Sometimes I think I don’t have the capacity for any more love in my being. Then I look at him and realize love is infinite.” They were the sort of cheesy, corny things a middle-aged mother might post, but still. You had to smile. And Crowley did.

I lost my Fate/Grad Order account. I went t update my Bluestacks app to the newest one, didn’t get a transfer number, and have been fighting with support for the last month about it. I answered all of their questions but they said my information either didn’t match or they didn’t have enough to validate my ownership. It’s really dumb because one the thing they asked for was the transfer code. Why the f*ck would i have a transfer code, if i botched the transfer? I’ve played that game since it released here in the NA region. That’s actual years of my life invested, gone in a flash, because i couldn’t remember the name of my character. Sh*t is infuriating, especially when i have an Azur Lane account that can be bound to my Facebook and has a proper login function. Why the f*ck wouldn’t FGO have one of these systems? It’s been five f*cking years and they still use a transfer code system? Really? Anyway, that’s just me venting about the stupidity if gacha bullsh*t before i gush about the stupidity of gacha bullsh*t.

I play the sh*t out of Azur Lane. I’ve resolved to build the most substantial Iron Blood dock that i can. I just think they have the best aesthetic in the game, never mind the problematic Nazi origins. Prinz Eugen is literally the entire reason i started playing this game so, of course, i went full Deutsch with it. I’ve amassed a slid amount of ships under my Iron Blood banner, especially considering i started this game years after it was available for download in the NA. So far, i have forty-eight of the available fifty-six ships and i am thirsting real hard for the last eight. There are two, Zeppy and U-110, that i have no idea when I'll get a shot at once again, probably after their mini events are available in War Archives but the others are all Inverted Orthant ships. That’s right, all i have left are the goddamn ships from last year’s Iron Blood event and i am straight frothing at the bit for that rerun. Like, i f*cking NEED Strasser, man. Another Iron Blood Carrier for my ranks and a Super Rare at that? Bro, just Rerun that event already!

Last month’s Tower of Transcendence event was a boon for me. I was able to roll or unlock all of those ships, bolstering my ranks with a bunch of solid additions; One of which turned out to be an Ultra Rare. I don’t want to gush too much about her but Ulrich von Hutten is fast climbing the ranks of my favorite ships but i digress. I already word vomited about how well that event went for me. No, this essay is about how i was able to snatch up all of the ships, minus the aforementioned Orthant, Zeppy, and U-110, only a week later. That’s right, i went into last week missing Z28 because she’s a f*cking Orthant ship, Admiral Hipper Muse because i didn’t even attempt to roll for her during the Passionate Polaris event, and U-410 because i wasn’t active during the Lunar New Year event last year. Literally around the same time Orthant dropped. What’s changed? This last update. Polaris was added to the War Archives which made those Muse ships permanently available in Construction pool. You better believe i blew some more of my Wisdom Cube load to get Hipper Muse. In the process, i unlocked all the other ships for that event, too but Hipper was the true prize. If that wasn’t enough, both the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival Training got a rerun and i was able to unlock both Z28 and U-410; Two ships i figured I'd have no shot at, like Zeppy. Admittedly, i still have the daily unlock thing to do in order to officially add U-410 to my dock but i already have well over the requisite two hundred points, so it’s only a matter of time before she is mine.

It’s incredibly sh*tty i lost my FGO account but, as if it were divine consolation, i was ale to shore up my Iron Blood dock pretty substantially. And unlike FGO, this account is bound to my Facebook account so i don’t have to worry about getting boned whenever buy myself a new phone. It’s kind of surreal to know i am jut a handful of events away from collecting every available Iron Blood ship. All that’s really left to do is max out the affections, skills, and what not, for every ship available in my dock. I want the perfect Iron Blood fleet and i am well on my way to achieving just that. Hell, I've even vowed with half of them so far. I know this makes me sound like a whale or whatever but I'm not. I literally, purposely, missed events to accumulate the necessary resources to make a proper run at this game. I even stopped playing for years in order to balance my drive to accomplish my lofty goal and the amount of time i was sinking into this game. I’ve just been very fortunate with their gacha and hope i can maintain this level of luck when ever they rerun that Orthant event. F*cking rerun Orthant already, goddamn!

How To Sync Contacts From One Google Account To Another

How can I sync all of my Gmail contacts to Contacts+?

Google Account Sync Settings

How To Transfer Email Contacts From One Gmail Account To Another

How To Transfer Google Contacts From One Gmail To Another

Sync Google Contacts To Phone

How To Transfer Contacts From One Google Account To Another In Android

1. Figure out where all of your Gmail contacts live. Here's a good place to start. Are they in your My Contacts? Other Contacts? Groups? Directory? Google has a few different lists.

Sync Phone To Google Account

Download and Upload. Go to Google Photos official website and log in your first account. One typical way of doing that is to download all the images and videos from your first Google Photos account and then upload them in your second Google Photos account. In case you don’t want to.

2. Are you using the new or old version of Google Contacts? The new version, called Google Contacts Preview, has a blue and white interface.

3. Make sure that all of the contacts you want syncing with Contacts+ exist in your 'My Contacts'. Contacts+ only syncs with the contacts in the 'My Contacts' list. If you need to move contacts to your 'My Contacts' (from another list), you'll find instructions at the very bottom of this article.

4. Once your 'My Contacts' list is in good shape, sync your Gmail account to your Contacts+ address book. You can do this here: Sync Sources.

Looking at the sync options, you can select, which Outlook contacts to sync (if you have more than one Outlook e-mail account and address book), choose whether to sync deleted contacts, and whether the program prompts you when deleting contacts from your destination address book. Export: Follow these steps to export your contacts: Open the Contacts app (on some devices, such.

Can't Sync Contacts To Google

5. From there, click Add Sync Source -> Choose 'Google' and proceed.

Do I have contacts in Gmail?

If you've created a Gmail account (and have sent at least a few emails), you have contacts in your Gmail address book. These are called Google Contacts. In other words, with a Gmail account, you automatically have a Gmail address book, you're just likely unable to find it.

How can I find my contacts in Gmail?

You can find your contacts in Gmail (also known as your Google Contacts) a few different ways:

Option 1: Click on this link.

Option 2: Log into your Gmail account, click on Mail in the upper right-hand corner, then click Contacts.Option 3: Log into your Gmail account, click on the Google Apps dashboard in the upper right-hand corner, then click Contacts.

Google Account Sync Settings

Am I using the old or the new version of Google Contacts?

You're either going to see the old or the new version of Google Contacts once you access your contacts in Gmail. If you're seeing a red and white interface on the left-hand side, you're using the old version of Google Contacts. If you're seeing a blue interface, you're using Google Contacts Preview (which is the new one).

Old version:

New version:

How many different contact lists does Google create for me?

Google will create a few different lists for you, such as My Contacts, Other Contacts, Groups, Circles, Directory, and more. You can read about these different lists here.

You'll want to pay close attention to your 'My Contacts', as this is the only list that Contacts+ syncs with. In other words, if you've connected (or are thinking about connecting) your Gmail account to Contacts+, the only list Contacts+ has access to is your 'My Contacts' in Google.

How do I know if I have contacts in my 'My Contacts' in my Gmail account?

Head over to your Google Contacts, then view your My Contacts in the upper left-hand corner.

To note: if you are using the new version of Google Contacts called Google Contacts Preview (it has a blue interface), you will not be able to easily distinguish between your 'My Contacts' and the other lists in Google.

We highly recommend that you switch back to the old version of Google Contacts to easily find your 'My Contacts'. Here are the steps to revert back to the old version of Google Contacts:

1. Click on More (left-hand side dashboard)

2. Click 'Leave the contacts preview'.

How To Transfer Email Contacts From One Gmail Account To Another

How do I add contacts from other lists to 'My Contacts' in Google?

To easily add contacts, either click the box next to each contact's name or you can bulk-select contacts & add them to your 'My Contacts'. In other words, to make sure all of your Google Contacts are in your Contacts+, move contacts from one list - i.e. your Other Contacts - to your 'My Contacts'.

In the new version of Google Contacts, you can individually add contacts to your My Contacts or bulk-select contacts and add them to your My Contacts (using the +Person icon). Click on the contact >> click on +person icon.

Is Contacts+ syncing all of my Google Contacts?

Not necessarily. Contacts+ is only syncing with your 'My Contacts' on Google. Again, while Google has a few different lists (My Contacts, Other Contacts, Directory, etc.), make sure any contacts you want syncing with your Contacts+ account exist in your 'My Contacts'. See our Getting Started on Contacts+ for more instructions.

To manually add 'Other Contacts' to Contacts+, go to your Sync Sources -> … next to your Google Account -> Select 'Search for other contacts in Google'.

What are Google's contact storage limits?

Google has three different storage limits for contacts, which are posted on Google Apps Help Page. These limits for Google Apps accounts also appear to apply to normal Google accounts.

The total number of contacts in a Google account must be 25,000 or less. Please Note: This includes Other Contacts as well as My Contacts. Contacts+ only brings in 'My Contacts' from Google, so it is possible that you may run into your storage limit in Google even if you have less than 25,000 total Google Contacts in Contacts+.

The total size of these contacts must not exceed 20 MB.

Individual contacts must not exceed 128 KB in size.

Yes. The tags you create in Contacts+ sync bi-directionally with your groups on Google Contacts.

The function waits for user input, and will not return until the remote shell is ended (e.g. On exit from the shell). Enable SSH on a headless Raspberry Pi (add file to SD card on another machine) For headless setup, SSH can be enabled by placing a file named ssh, without any extension, onto the boot partition of the SD card from another computer.

Things to keep in mind while deciding to buy used or refurbished phones

As we know it is very easy to buy a new phone but when it comes to buying second hand mobiles there is a bit of hesitation. why?

Anybody who is about to buy a new phone he/she is excited to buy the mobile & seeing the specifications and extra features inside the phones the excitement gets double, but when it comes to buying a used mobile phone there is no excitement rather there is a bit of calmness inside us because we are buying a used product.

Most people search online Are refurbished phones any good? Which are better used or refurbished phones? Where to purchase refurbished cell phones? Is it better to buy a used phone or a refurbished one? Are refurbished phones worth it? How do I know if my phone is new or refurbished? Is a certified refurbished iPhone good? How to check certified used cell phones for sale? Are refurbished iPhones good? What is the unboxed phone? New and refurbished cell phones which is better? How to check problems with refurbished phones? and many more queries. The most important thing is people want to buy used phones but are still confused.

People want to buy second hand mobile phones, But seeing someone getting scammed or being a victim of fraud is the biggest drawback in buying or trusting to buy a used mobile phone. Few people want o make quick money by selling their poor or bad quality product by hiding the original details of the product and selling the product smartly to the customers and making their money go waste on buying a worthless product.

Most of the people who are buying second hand phones are from rural areas, who are not very financially strong wish to buy a used phone. But confused whether to buy a second hand mobile phone or not. Why would someone who is not financially strong risk all his money in buying a product that is already used by someone and it is very difficult to figure out what's wrong with the product and the time you figured out what's wrong with your phone? It is late now to return it to the seller and you have no other option other than repairing the phone with your own pocket money?

What are refurbished phones? & Why should you buy it?

Refurbished phones are used phones that are used by somebody for a very limited amount of time and due to some fault or some problems in the phones, they are then returned to the manufacturer or third-party seller for repairing and solving the product issue. After getting repaired and reconditioned of the phone like a new-one. They are available for sale at a low cost than the original product price.

Refurbished products are usually not sold in original packing but you can get all original accessories present in the mobile phone and the reason you should buy a refurbished phones is that they are well tested and free of any damages and problems as it is verified by authorized technicians and checked thoroughly before being available for sale. Moreover, almost every refurbished phone comes with a manufacturer's warranty, the same warranty period as the new ones.

You should buy it as you are getting the product at a low cost and also with a warranty. This means buying a used phone is as good as buying a new one the only difference is that the new one's price is higher than the refurbished ones.

Why sell your smartphone & What to do before selling your smartphones?

You can sell your smartphone on classified sites like CIFIYAH. Every month a new phone gets released from almost every smartphone manufacturing companies and each phone released is a better phone comparing to the previous one and in this case, most people want to buy the newly released phones with better facilities and extra features rather than exchanging the phone it is better to sell the phone.

If you exchange the phone then your phone that you are about to exchange, the price is set by the company and the company will always try to exchange the product with less price. So, it is better to sell your smartphone on classified sites or at any pawn shop and here you get the price set by you and could get more benefit than exchanging it.

But before selling your smartphone there are few things to be done to ensure your privacy to be safe and also convenient for your day-to-day life work.

· Backup your Contacts, E-mails, and Messages

If you are an android user then make sure you sync your contacts, email, messages to your Google account. It will hardly take a few minutes to backup your details and if you forget to do it then you might be in problem. As you might have a lot of contacts and important messages that you need in your daily life and losing it might be a very difficult task getting it back. There are also few third-party apps on PlayStore that can backup your details on the cloud and when you switched to a new phone then you can install the same app and restore all your details on your new device easily and very simple and make sure that the third-party app you are using is a trusted app.

· Backup your other files present inside the phone

Backup all your media, important documents, and files present inside the internal storage of the phone by connecting a USB data cable to a PC and transfer all your important and required things or you can download some third-party apps like Google Files and connect your phone to which you want to transfer all your files through wifi and can transfer all your data very quickly and easily.

· Backup your Whatsapp

If you are using apps like WhatsApp then you have to back up your messages and media to WhatsApp cloud at least once a month. If you haven’t backup your files recently it is better to back up all your chats, photos, videos, and many more documents or files easily and you can restore the backup after installing the WhatsApps on your new phone.

5 Steps to backup WhatsApp media and Messages:

1. Open WhatsApp

2. Tap on the Three-dots on top right corner > Settings > Chats > Chat backup.

3. Tap Back up, It will backup all your files to Google cloud.

4. Select the Google account you’d like to back up your chat history to. If you don’t have a Google account connected, tap Add account when prompted and enter your login credentials.

5. And done, now all your WhatsApp conversations are backed up onto Google Drive and this backup can be restored on any Android device anytime.

· Final Check

At last, check again if you left out some important files or things to backup or forgot to backup. After that check your account if there are any google accounts logged in and saved inside the device then make sure to remove it and if you are unable to find out your google account or cannot remove the account then you can simply reset the phone.

Backup & Reset > Factory data reset > Reset phone > Erase everything. This will make your phone like a new one no saved passwords no datafiles or any personal things inside the phone all erased and cleaned. Now you can sell your used phones to anyone and anywhere without worrying about your privacy.

Things to keep in mind while deciding to buy used or refurbished phones.

1. Research

Before making the final mindset to buy used or refurbished phones, Decide which phone you want to buy, whether you want to buy a cheap iPhone or refurbished iPhones or used iPhone or any other smartphone you want to buy. Do some research on the phones go through different reviews and recommendations and find out what are the most common problems people are facing with the product can you adjust to that problem or you need to change your mind and switch to another smartphone to buy. Researching will help you get a quality and worthy product.

If you are deciding to buy a refurbished phone then search for a certified refurb seller. These sellers provide genuine refurbished products and there are also third-party refurbished sellers, they also provide refurbished products but cannot guarantee the originality of the product. So always go for certified refurb products.

2. Avoid Buying a Stolen Phone

Even if you are getting a very good deal like a high-budget phone at a very low price (i.e) the cost of the used phone of that model shouldn’t be so low, then be careful while buying the phone as it might be a stolen phone.

Check for original documents of the product. The document or the file where the details of the phones are mentioned should be visible very carefully and neatly if it is not visible properly then the document might be a faked one or might be tampered with to look like the original document. To check the originality of the document look for the IMEI number(International Mobile Equipment Identity) or dial *#06# to check the IMEI number of the phone and match the same with the original document or bill of the phone. If the serial number matches the number mentioned on the bill then it is not a stolen phone.

3. Real Vs Fake Phones

There are millions of fake phones getting sold around the world and fake smartphone sale costs the global industry 48 Billion US Dollars annually! There are a lot of Chinese and Korean phones available in the market a lot more cheaper than the original phone. These phones are cheaper because they are the clone version of the phone and it is very difficult for an individual to figure out whether it is an original product or a clone one.

To check the product first thing is to switch on the phone if it is already switched on then off the phone and switch on again and which logo appears during the switch on. From here most of the people can figure out the clone version or not. If still, you couldn’t figure it out then Go to settings and check the hardware and software details if still, you are not getting then you can download any third-party apps from PlayStore to check the hardware and software installed inside the phone or you can take help from any technician who has good knowledge on smartphones and from there you can easily figure out whether the phone is a clone one or an original one.

4. Inspecting the Phone Physically

Now we know that the phone is neither stolen nor a fake one. It is time to check the phone more deeply and physically. It is very necessary to check the phone from every angle and look for any sign of damage. If there is a cracked screen on the phone then look whether it the screen guard or the original screen. If the original screen is damaged then it might cost more than 3K and if it is the screen guard then it is manageable.

Look at the phone from every corner of the phone check the touch response brightness shake the phone well and listen if there are any sounds or not. if some sound is heard while shaking then something is broken inside the phone and ensure that the phone is not exposed to water damage.

If the phone's battery is non-removal then look at the sim tray for water damage indicator. If the phone’s battery can be removed then switch off the phone and take out the battery and check for any changes on the charging ports, if the color is changed then it might be exposed to water and it is better to avoid buying the phone.

If there are many scratches on the phone then the phone might be frequently falling and getting internal damages. Even if there is no problem with the phone it is better to avoid these types of phones as they might show problems shortly.

5. Final Price

As you have done a lot of research inspecting the phone then you might have compared the pricing of the phone too. Don’t always fall for low prices, not low-priced things are worthful.

So, it is better to look at the phone condition and pricing comparing with other sites if there is a 200-300 rupees difference then it is ok. If the price difference is more it is better to go for the other one and look for a better deal and pay the price and don't overpay the seller as it is a used one it is meant to be a lower price, overpaying is a loss of money.

Where can I SELL & BUY used phones for a good price?

You can sell & buy used phones on classified sites like Cifiyah. It is one of the most trusted sites to buy and sell your products easily and securely. You can get huge varieties and options to buy cheap iPhones, refurbished iPhones, used iPhones and you can also get good and better cell phone deals & latest gadgets deals than any other classified site.

You can post free ads on cifiyah.com to sell or buy used phones easily. If you are new to the site then, Register and post an advertisement on the product that you want to want to sell it and mention all the details of the product including a good photo of the product to be sold and fix the desired price at which rate you want to sell used mobiles and wait for interested customers to contact you through mail or phone number that you have mentioned it during the time of advertisement.

We all are more or less familiar with the term IoT, but what is WoT and how does IoT relate with WoT? How much is WoT required in our society? What are the possible applications of WoT? Are there any applications enabling WoT actually in the market? In this article, we will try to explore the answers to these questions.

Interoperability is one of the essential attributes of any internet-facing appliance.

Web of Things is a web standard of the Internet of Things to enable communication between smart things and web-based applications.

Mozilla WebThing gateway is a smart IoT gateway that can be used to integrate smart devices in a vendor-neutral way and to provide a web interface to monitor and control devices over the web.

The Mozilla IoT project provides lots of add-ons to integrate with different smart appliances, third-party APIs, cloud etc. Being an open source project, anybody can add new plugins into this project.

The Mozilla IoT project provides REST API adhering to the Web of Things standard to communicate with smart devices.

My mom is a diabetic patient with high blood pressure and spends most of her time alone at home. One day, while I was working at the office, my mobile phone started buzzing on my desk. In my Continuous Glucose Monitor (e.g. https://www.dexcom.com/apps) dashboard I noticed that my mom’s sugar level was getting significantly low, maybe due to an excessive insulin intake or due to insulin intake without food. I immediately made a call to my neighbor and asked her to give my mother some sugary drink. I unlocked my home’s front door for her to enter the house, and switched on my car AC. I decided to return home early and for the rest of the day I worked from there.

I carried through all the actions described above from my office desk, remotely, using my smartphone. My phone is indeed smart and all of that was possible, thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT).

IoT is another bit of technical jargon in the same line as Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, and Machine Learning. Actually, we are rather moving towards the Internet of Everything. Beyond physical things, technology is focusing on all-round connectivity, intelligence, and cognition between people, data, as well as processes. See the schematic representation of everything in https://schema.org/. It seems the future is coming with tons of IoT devices, Pebibyte of data, and insights extracted from those data using analytics, machine learning, deep learning etc.

What is Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity to enable objects to exchange data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices.

- IETF

The definition given above is quite straightforward. Conceptualizing IoT is not so difficult. Now just think — Smart Home, Smart City, Smart Transportation, Smart Farming etc. everything can go smart, easily acceptable and expandable if it is accessible and affordable to everyone irrespective of their socio-economic position — starting from business tycoons, world leaders, technologists like you, up to individual farmers. So it is not only a technological revolution but also a social “coup”.

There are lots of discussions going on about the social impact of this technology. Will it free up or collapse human potential and/or mind? Some agree about the inevitability of these technologies but at the same time they are recommending to slow down these transformation processes. However, at the end of the day, this process is inescapable. Every discovery brings benefits on the one hand and adverse effects on the other. At the present crossroad, many people like me believe this technology should be easily and affordably available in every corner of the society.

Why WoT

If you go back to the introductory example for a moment, you will see that. to monitor blood sugar levels, I needed an IoT-enabled Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) device; to open the front door remotely, I needed an IoT-enabled smart door lock; to switch on my car AC, I needed an IoT-enabled Car AC device. I could also need an IoT gateway to integrate all my home IoT appliances.

All these devices are manufactured by different vendors, adhering to different low-level network protocols and standards. As a consequence of that, all these devices have separate apps, or some of them are grouped based on vendor partnerships. In the end, I have to open each of those apps one by one to perform each task to complete the workflow. Also I cannot have any common dashboard from where I can monitor all my appliances, since my IoT devices are not able to communicate with each other in a vendor neutral manner over the internet. It turns out my smartphone is not smart enough, hah!

Internet connectivity is a minor concern for low-level sensors or hardware devices. Low level sensors such as temperature sensor, and motion sensor, usually transfer data using low level protocols like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee, 6LoWPAN, etc., which are not Internet compatible. Since IoT Gateways understand those low level protocols, they basically play the role of adapters between the internet and those sensors. Protocol transformation would also take place here. IoT gateways are installed inside smart homes, smart factories etc., i.e., inside Local Area Network where no unified communication standard is available, thus, those gateways can be used to communicate using proprietary data format over the internet. Additionally, there are multiple cloud vendors that are providing IoT services in different shapes and textures. Once again there is a lack of standardization. AWS Alexa is tied with Philips Hue so AWS and Hue can understand their data format but no one else can. This is gravitating towards the vendor lock-in black hole. To get rid of this problem, IoT needs vendor neutral standards for the internet.

The Web of Things groups, namely the Web of Things Interest Group and the Web of Things Working group, are trying to standardize communication protocols between different IoT smart devices and between smart devices and cloud platforms over the internet. The two groups created two popular specifications known as Web of Things Architecture and Web of Things Descriptions to address compatibility, scalability, interoperability, discoverability, security etc., which we are going to review in the following sections.

Web of Things (WoT)

The major portion of the WoT specification is the Thing Description. Thing is an abstract representation of a physical or virtual entity. A Thing Description includes the metadata and interfaces of a Thing in a standardized way, with the aim to make the Thing able to communicate with other Things in a heterogeneous world.

According to the WoT standard, the behavior of a Thing can be expressed by describing the interaction between the consumer and the Thing. This is known as Interaction Affordances, which is a property of objects that can show users what actions they can carry through.

When affordances are taken advantage of, the user knows what to do just by looking: no picture, label, or instruction needed.— Don Norman, Grand Old Man of User Experience

Things have four types of interaction affordances: Properties, Actions, Events, and Navigation affordance (i.e. Web links).

Other important features to describe Things’ behavior are Data Schema, which is a payload structure that is exchanged across Consumers and Things during interactions; Public and Private Security Configuration, which help to secure the data at rest and in transit; and the mapping between interaction affordances and concrete messages for specific protocols using Protocol Bindings. Please refer W3.org for more detail.

Figure 1

Real world WoT applications

Everything given above is just theory. Are there any real implementations? Eclipse and Mozilla did some good work on this aspect. As of now, I mainly explored the Mozilla WebThings project, which has two parts:

WebThings Gateway - A smart IoT gateway focused on interoperability and security, which is also an integral part of the gateway.

WebThings Framework - A collection of reusable software components to help developers to build their own web things, which directly expose the Web Thing API.

Let us move out from the boring theory. In the next section we are going to go deeper with a hands-on session with the Mozilla WebThings Gateway. Let’s get our hands dirty and try to set up the WebThings Gateway and access it over the internet using Web Thing API.

Background

Sometime near the end of 2017 or the beginning of 2018, the Mozilla IoT team initiated the two open source projects mentioned above keeping interoperability and the open nature of the internet in mind. Of these two projects I am currently checking out the gateway project. Below are the steps to set up an MWT gateway to access things over the internet using WoT compatible REST API.

Steps

I have installed Mozilla WebThings (MWT) gateway in my old Raspberry Pi and you can do the same following the step by step installation guide here.

After successful installation and connection over Wi-Fi or Ethernet (I used shared Ethernet), I was able to find my Pi local IP address by executing the following Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command:

arp -a

Once I entered my Pi IP in the browser, the MWT gateway redirected me to the initial login/registration page. After registration, it brought me to the local and remote domain setting page. You can set up a remote domain, which enables remote access to your MWT gateway across the internet. The remote domain name is managed through a Mozilla-owned AWS server.

Figure 2

Note: If you skip setting the remote domain at install time, you will not be prompted again and you will lose the opportunity to set it. As a consequence, the MWT gateway will not be accessible from the internet.

Mozilla allows us to provide the hostname which we want to use. The fully qualified domain name is <hostname>.mozilla-iot.org.

Below, you can see the web interface of the Mozilla WebThing Gateway dashboard. The dashboard displays connected smart devices and active add-ons along with their current state. Users can monitor and control their smart devices from the dashboard, for example they can monitor current room temperature, room light status, wind speed etc. Users can interact with connected smart devices like switch on/off the smart light, change the color of the light, increase or decrease light brightness, open smart lock, start AC etc.

Figure 3

The Mozilla WebThings Gateway provides a list of its main options as shown in Figure 4. Here, you can see all available features of the MWT gateway.

Figure 4

Things: Open Things dashboard to monitor and control Things.

Rules: Set rules (e.g if temperature is above than the threshold value then switch on the AC).

Logs: View logs.

Floorplan: It allows users to arrange devices on a floor pan of the home. It is easy to monitor and control devices floor and/or room wise.

Settings: It helps users to configure the gateway.

To configure the gateway as per your requirements, for example, to create new users, to install new add-ons, configure your location, etc. you have to navigate to the Settings menu option shown in Figure 5. In the next few paragraphs, we are going to review a few of the options to configure add-ons and custom things so they can be accessed through MWT REST API.

Figure 5

Figure 6

From the Developer menu you can navigate to the developer setting options. This has three sub menus, 1) Enable SSH: Here you can enable SSH support to access the gateway using putty or other SSH client over port 22, 2) View Internal Logs: You can view internal logs from this menu, and 3) Create local authorization: You can create local authorization to generate JWT token to authorize external REST calls.

After enabling SSH, I can access my Pi using putty or any other SSH client.

Figure 7

The Users menu provides you the option to add and remove additional users and to enable or revoke access to this gateway.

Figure 8

The most interesting part of the gateway is that it has lots of Add-ons. You can navigate to the Add-ons page from the Settings->Add-ons menu.

You can integrate the gateway with the General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) slot of the Pi using a GPIO adapter. You can also add the Azure IoT bridge add-on with the MWT gateway to connect devices to an Azure IoT Hub.

There are lots of other interesting adapters for different systems, like Chromecast; Kafka, which can be used to expose the devices as topics on a kafka broker; Philips Hue; Z-Wave; Zigbee etc.

Figure 9

I integrated the MWT gateway with external API providers using weather-adapter. Here, I configure the weather adapter with the OpenWeatherMap API provider. Other available providers are DarkSky and AccuWeather.

Figure 10

Using the virtual-things-adapter adds-on, you can create custom Virtual Things with custom properties adhering to the WoT Capability Schemas. The schema context defines the WoT capability schemas along with its Properties, Actions, Events. During virtual thing creation, the add-on automatically generates an unique ID of the thing which is required to access the thing using the API.

Figure 11

Figure 12

If there is any pre-installed Thing, for example if you developed any custom thing using WebThings Framework and deployed it on your Pi, then you need to pass that Thing’s URL here to make it accessible via MWT gateway.

Figure 13

Local authorization is another important setting, if you are going to use the REST API, MWT is generating an access token to authorize incoming requests. To this aim, from the Developer menu you can navigate to the local token service to generate a Json Web Token (JWT).

Figure 14

You can allow/deny to authorize Things based on your choice.

Figure 15

The token service generates a Json Web Token which you can use to access Things over REST.

Figure 16

Using the Developer menu, you can navigate to the internal log view. In the example below, I can view different transactions I carried through on my Pi, such as opening a database, loading an add-on, invoking an API for certain properties, etc. These logs are helpful to debug and fix any issue inside the Pi.

Figure 17

Below are some sample internal logs.

2020-07-26 07:40:34.108 INFO : Opening database: /home/pi/.mozilla-iot/log/logs.sqlite3

2020-07-26 07:44:30.623 INFO : getValue for property humidity for: Weather (Nayabad) returning 89

Now, after having made the Pi available through the gateway, let's invoke the REST API to list all available Things using Postman:

Figure 18

This is a rundown of Postman input and output:

API description: Retrieve the list of Things

URL: http://xxxxxx.mozilla-iot.org/things

Authorization: Authorization token (JWT) in the request header. Token generated using the Local Token Service mentioned above.

Method: GET

Success response code: 200

The response content is a list of Things. Each JSON response has following main parts:

title: The title member is a human-friendly string which describes the device.

@context: It is an optional annotation which can be used to provide a URI for a schema repository which defines standard schemas for common "types" of device capabilities.

@type: It is an optional annotation which can be used to provide the names of schemas for types of capabilities a device supports, from a schema repository referred to in the @context member.

properties: A map of Property objects which describe the attributes of the device.

actions: A map of Action objects which describe functions that can be carried out on a device.

events: A map of Event objects which define the types of events which may be emitted by a device.

links: An array of Link Objects which link to other resources of a thing.

id: An identifier of the device in the form of a URI [RFC3986] (e.g. a URL or a URN).

securityDefinitions: It provides an authorization protocol (e.g. oauth 2.0), scopes and other security related attributes.

I was able to fetch the details about the custom virtual thing by using its unique id (virtual-things-custom-f7c9e797-6d79-4d71-9245-f3b69a104c5e) and accessing the following URL:

http://xxxxxx.mozilla-iot.org/things/virtual-things-custom-f7c9e797-6d79-4d71-9245-f3b69a104c5e

There are lots of other REST and WebSocket APIs to access and manipulate Things. You can get the API details from the latest Web Thing API documentation.

Conclusion

In this article I have briefly discussed the Web of Things standard and its usefulness in the IoT landscape. We also discussed the Mozilla IoT project, which is an open source project adhering to the WoT specifications, namely, the WebThings Gateway project and some basic steps to configure MWT gateway.

I will conclude by saying that to build a smart device we need a language using which every IoT device can speak with each other over the internet. This is possible if and only if a global standard can amalgamate this cutting edge technology within the society in a true sense. Using such open standard API along with device and/or cloud specific adapters, developers can easily build their own custom heterogeneous solutions, for example, a single app which can monitor GCM dashboard and can control my home smart door lock and car AC.

this is a guide made to help everyone use the most recent technology in rp conversations. several people in the rp i’m in have mentioned being confused about how to work discord and the different features it has. so, this is based on the most recent update to discord. i didn’t go over how to actually type out a chat, i would hope you could figure that part out for yourself. warning: this is a very screenshot heavy post. okay... lettuce begin.

WHAT IS THE DISCORD APP ??

discord is a chat site similar to skype, aim, or google hangouts. it is unique in the fact that it was intended to be used as a game coop chat, and it is completely free with little to no ads! there is a mobile app, a desktop app, and the plain old site. it is also compatible with macs in the case that you have apple products. for the sake of this tutorial, i will be using the desktop app, but all of your settings will transfer over to the website and mobile app versions of your discord.

FOR ADMINS WANTING TO SET UP A GROUP DISCORD: please consider watching this tutorial video, which goes over how to mess with server settings and functions.

FOR MUNS WANTING TO RP ON DISCORD: check out this ask i answered to learn about 1x1.

SETTING UP AN ACCOUNT + BASICS !!

to set up an account you will need an email to verify the account. i used an email that i attach to most of my rp blogs, but you could create a specific email for discord. setting up an account is a little different depending on if you’re doing it on the website or the desktop app.

for the website:

1. go to the discordapp website and select the “open discord” button.

2. it will ask you to write a username, create one that is related to anything you would like it to be. i personally wouldn’t use the name of a specific character as your discord name (and i’ll go over why in a second)

3. it will then open the discord website version, and at the top there will be a banner that says:

4. after clicking “claim account” you will be sent to this portion of the settings screen, input a value for the email and the password section so you can keep your account.

for the desktop app (if you selected “download for windows” on the website:

1. you’ll want to click the “register new account” button at the bottom of the login screen.

2. it will then open to a screen that looks remarkably similar to the one on the settings page. all you’ll need to do from here is input information and then go verify your email.

now, discord will guide you through setting up a personal server (which you can delete if you think you’ll never use it), but i’ll go over that in the next section. let’s first talk about settings.

“setting” yourself up for success:

1. getting to the settings is really easy, just go to the bottom of the server information sidebar, and click the cogwheel.

2. you’ll open on the my account page, which looks something like this.

3. if you click on edit, you’ll be able to change your personal icon, your username, your password, and save it all.

4. next is privacy and safety. this will all depend on how safe you feel with the people you’re interacting with. you can allow dms from people in similar servers, you can have discord scan messages that could be nsfw or harmful, and you can edit who will be able to add your discord id as their friend. my settings are pretty laxed, but if you want to change that please do.

5. i skipped over authorized apps, but you can look into that here it’s a tool for bot use. i will be going over the “connections” tab, though. on this one you can select one of their given apps, and add it to discord for integrations. a lot of twitch streamers use this to help connect the people that use their servers with their video gaming experience. you can attach skype, twitter, reddit, twitch, steam, and more. this is more for discord video gamer users, though.

6. overlay is more for settings related to how you see users in the servers. do you want to see their icons/display names? it is easier to distinguish others if you turn these settings on to display the information.

7. for notifications you can turn the desktop notifications on or off, the specific sounds you want to hear, and whether you want to have text-to-speech for the desktop notifications. i’ll get into how to specifically turn off notifications for specific servers in the next section.

8. keybinds are simply keyboard shortcuts. i don’t have any enabled, but if you want to edit this yourself, give it a go, my friend.

9. text and images is helpful if you would rather not see a preview of links, and also can keep your FPS from dropping if you turn off the preview of images.

10. appearance is another important thing with discord. change the settings to make the look most comfortable to you! there is a light and dark theme option, a way to change up the font and so much more! play around with it and see how it looks to you in the preview.

11. some other sections i wouldn’t mess with unless you’re also going to use it for video gaming are the streamer mode, games, and discord nitro. these are all more focused around streamers and gamers.

SERVERS, DMS, AND PERMISSIONS, OH MY !!

now that you’ve got your account all set up, discord will take you through a bit of a tutorial until you join a different server with more people in it. a lot of rps now are creating group servers, so it might be nice to have an account to . you could also just use it to add other people in the rpc and chat with them! since i won’t really be going over creating an advanced server, please take a look at this tutorial. let’s go over joining a server or adding some friends.

joining a server or creating one:

1. select the plus button on the sidebar.

2. it will pop up with another message, and you’ll want to click “join server”

3. it will ask you for a join link on the next page, ask the person who’s server you’re trying to join for this. or maybe admins will provide you with an instant invite link which will add you... instantly.

to get a server link:

1. click the arrow next to the server title to bring down a drop down menu.

2. in the drop down menu there should be an “invite people” option.

3. it will then pop up with a link that you can copy and paste to send to people. if you hit “never let link expire” then you can keep reusing the link for everyone. otherwise, each link has a day long limit to be used.

4. if you click the cogwheel on the link information pop up, it will give you another pop up of settings that you can edit.

so now you know how to join a server, but how do you create one? i’ve already linked above how to get more complicated with server settings, but heres the basics of creating one.

creating a server:

1. click that little + in the circle again.

2. this time we’re going to select the “create a server” option.

3. once on that, a menu will pop up with several options on what you want your server be like, just make it what you want it to be, my friend.

4. then hit “create” and boom you have a server! as the main admin you can assign roles, nicknames, add more channels to the server for specific conversations etc. for more on that please check this little tutorial and this one too.

you now know how to join and create servers, but what about server settings? this mostly applies to if you own a server, but can also apply to if you’re just in a server with some permissions given to you.

nicknames:

1. in the same drop down bar that you can get to invite people from, there will be an option that says “nickname.” this is a setting that allows you to change your name in each server your a part of to distinguish yourself. it will also replace just showing the username you chose for yourself initially, so if you chose something that doesn’t have your name you can let others know what it is in a nickname.

2. once you click nickname it will come up with what you want to change your name. an rp might ask you to make your nickname something like your moniker and your character name (an example would be “margot // poppy sinclair,” “margot (poppy sinclair),” “margot - poppy sinclair,” or “margot / poppy sinclair.”

okay, now here are just the general settings for a server and what you can edit with all that stuff.

server settings and what they do:

1. to open server settings go to that same dropdown menu i’ve mentioned twice now.

2. it will open on the basic server overview settings. you can change the name of the server here, or adjust an afk channel (which i don’t find necessary, so i wouldn’t mess with the setting but you could), and set how you want your general users to get notifications (they can change this setting by themselves too).

3. i would only mess with moderation settings if you’re worried about members getting out of hand in the messages. if not, leave it on the casual moderation settings already set as the default.

4. audit log is basically a history of everything that’s been changed, added, or deleted on the server. you can’t really mess with this setting much, but it’s helpful to know what’s happened on your server.

5. roles are something only an admin can edit, but they’re cool too. you can set several settings with this, which i won’t be going over for the sake of keeping this short. if you’d like to know more on setting roles read through this. adding a role is like a tiny badge that tells you a bit more about the specific person and what permissions they have in the group.

6. emojis are custom emojis that you’ll be able to use within your server. there is a slot for fifty of them, so you can create your own as a mod, or there is a permission that allows people to create emojis too.

7. invites shows you how many links to invite have been created and how long the link will last.

8. i didn’t go over a few of the settings, that’s because they are more targetted to gamers or they’re easier to understand if you want to look at members or who’s been banned from the server.

personal notification and privacy settings:

1. same drop down menu on the server. and click “notification settings,” obviously.

2. these are my personal settings, i usually only allow notifications for mentions in large servers. because unless you’re going to be in a very small group, your messages are going to be blowing up zero to a hundred real quick!

3. go back to the drop down and select “privacy settings.”

4. now choose whether you want to allow people from a group to dm you or not. i leave this on, that way if i’m in a group rp and i want to plot on discord or need to talk to someone then i can get dms. maybe you’re not cool with that, and it’s totally fine! just change it to your personal preferences.

server settings are easy enough, you just need to get the hang of it. alright, now moving to dms and how to add singular friends.

how to add friends:

1. click the symbol on the sidebar that has three little people.

2. make sure your on the tab with the little guy raising his hand.

3. then you’ll want to put the discordtag of the person your adding into the box. here’s the thing, you need to include the number in there, too, or else it won’t add them!

4. select “send friend request” and wait until your accepted as a friend! once you’ve been added, you can start a dm by going to the “all” tab.

5. click the profile of the friend you want to dm.

6. their information will now show up in the “direct messages” sidebar, and you can interact with them.

now that you’ve got some friends, message them, add them to your servers, be added to their servers, whatever floats your boat!

EXTRA TIDBITS + WHAT THEY DO !!

now you know the basics of how discord works, but there are a ton of tiny buttons that might not make sense when first going through. so, let’s explain what each of these small buttons do and why they’re there.

icons on the tiny profile, under the server information:

1. the microphone allows you to mute/unmute yourself if you’re ever in a voice channel, toggling this on and off will enable whether others can hear you or not.

2. the headphone set is a toggle option for whether you want to still hear or “deafen” yourself to what others are saying inside a vovice channel.

3. the cogwheel opens to the discord profile settings and your own personal settings (not a server’s settings).

icons on the header over a server/dm:

1. the bell toggles on and off whether you want to receive any notifications from the server you’re in. if you turn this on, then you will recieve no notifications at all even for messages that had your mention in them.

2. the pushpin is for pinned messages. moderators may have the ability to select certain messages to be “pinned,” and by doing this very important information can be kept in one place. that way you won’t have to go sifting through all the messages to look back at a certain one.

3. the user icon is another toggle button. this time it toggles whether or not you see the list of members in a server on the sidebar to the right.

4. the search function can look for keywords to find a specific message you may have lost a long time ago.

icons on the header over a server/dm continued:

1. the at symbol is a quick way to look through all the messages you might have been mentioned in. you can set it to show your mentions in just the specific server, or every single one of them. an example of that looks like this:

2. the question mark is the help desk for all things discord. if this guide didn’t answer everything, then i’m sure that the help icon can give you more answers.

in chat commands and emojis:

if you would like to access text formatting in chat, here are all the commands:

ITALICS: *your text here*

UNDERLINE ITALICS: __*your text here*__

BOLDED: **your text here**

UNDERLINE BOLDED: __**your text here**__

BOLDED ITALICS: ***your text here***

UNDERLINED BOLDED ITALICS: __***your text here***__

UNDERLINED: __your text here__

to know how to use in chat and custom emojis, check out this guide.

i know this was really a screenshot heavy guide, but hopefully it gave you insight on how to work the app (which it’s mostly the same on all three platforms). have fun and hope you join the discord revolution! my inbox is always open if there are any remaining questions on the app and what it’s all about!

Version 279

zip

exe

os x

app

tar.gz

linux

tar.gz

source

tar.gz

I had a great week. The big downloader overhaul took a big step forward, and I somehow fit in a ton of other stuff as well.

hydrus network upgrade

The client now uses the new network engine to talk to hydrus services. This was the last holdout of the old network engine, and I am happy to have finally moved everything over.

Ideally, you will not notice any differences. The same basic protocol is happening, but now it will go queue up in the new system and follow its bandwidth rules and all that. You will see 'hydrus service' network contexts appear in the the bandwidth window (and wherever else) and be able to set service-specific rules there.

Also, the 'logging in' that hydrus clients need to do works on the new login engine. I am very pleased with this, but it is a first version. It took a lot of work to figure out a good pipeline for error states and the less common operations (like access key testing) and I suspect there are still some bugs for other unusual situations. Please let me know if you run into any trouble. If you do have a problem, a good solution to some problems is to go to the repository in services->review services and click 'refresh account'. Please let me know the details in any case. The error handling works but is not yet polished--I already have a job set up to improve specifics in the coming weeks.

Please note that if you run a server, you probably want to update it this week. Although <279 clients can talk to >=279 servers, the reverse is not true. New clients trying to talk to old servers will get safe-but-frustrating 'cannot login' errors whenever they try to do anything (this was due to a long-time bug in the hydrus session code that happened by chance not to affect old clients).

As everything now runs on the new network version, I can now tackle a number of catchup jobs that were on hold while I was bridging two systems. I expect several engine-wide things like error handling/logging and network use user presentation and old broken test code fixing, and maybe even proxy support, to come in the near future.

other highlights

Import folders can now be forced to 'check now' from the file menu! If you like, you can set up 'manual' import folders by pausing them in the manage dialog and then only running them when needed in this new submenu. I expect to add a subscription-like progress popup for import folders to make these workflows neater.

Queries that only include a positive ratings predicate ('rated' or a specific rating, not 'not rated') and perhaps only a couple of other system search terms--usually something like ('system:rating favs=like', 'system:limit=60')--now have an optimisation to run much faster. This matters for clients with large collections, where these searches could take up to five seconds the first time. Now they should only take a handful of milliseconds!

I have updated a number of the default boorus to now have https urls. I believe all the sites that now support valid https _should_ have it. Normally these changes would only affect new users, but I have also added a button to services->manage boorus to restore any of the default boorus! If you haven't messed with the boorus at all, you may just like to restore all your boorus through this button--you might get some new entries (danbooru or sankaku, for instance) that were broken when you originally installed.

Pages that you give a custom name shouldn't now be overwritten by the thread watcher. There is more to do here (I'd like to have custom names that can still do [DEAD], and dealing with tab icons), but let me know if you discover any combinations where the overwrite still happens.

Pages should now draw their thumbnails much more efficiently, using far less CPU to animate!

If you are in advanced mode, the number of currently open pages will be written in the 'pages' menu!

full list

moved the hydrus service object over to the new networking engine

hydrus services now appear in the bandwidth review panel

hydrus requests now obey larger network bandwidth rules (this mostly means 'global')

service bandwidth usage and rules are no longer managed from manage services--it is now under review bandwidth usage, like all other network contexts

updated some network engine stuff for misc hydrus states like 'server busy'

fixed a bug in the server code where the session key cookie had an invalid expiration timestamp--servers should update this week to make sure new clients can log in properly

hydrus network requests will force-set User-Agent as 'hydrus client/(network_version)' as the network version is used in the protocol to determine compatibility

fleshed out the hydrus specific network job, giving it the various bandwidth tracking and version checking responsibilities the service object used to have

moved session cookie decay (only matters for Hentai Foundry atm) to the new session manager (was previously hacked into the login manager)

moved some hydrus response parsing stuff around, added content type awareness to the new network job

updated several unusual hydrus 'static/test' requests used to test credentials and fetch access key and so on to the new system

added a special 'test service' service to better accomodate these requests

wrote a static login script for hydrus services

polished up login management system overall

import folders now support a 'check now' state, like subscriptions, that will cause them to check immediately

import folders can be 'check now'ed from the file menu under a new submenu! if you would like to have a 'manual' import folder, try pausing it and just running it from this menu!

added an optimisation to the file search algorithm to search ratings queries super fast when they lack tag or file system preds to otherwise speed them up

updated the booru presets that now support https to be https

added a 'restore defaults' button to the manage boorus dialog--you can restore specifics or all of them

optimised how fading thumbnails are blitted to screen, which may provide a huge performance boost for high-res/small-thumb clients

pages that have been renamed by the user will no longer be rename-overwritten by any auto-renaming system (currently just thread watchers, I think, but this will expand in future). unfortunately, this is not retroactive--only pages renamed from now on will be aware that they were user-renamed

in advanced mode, the pages menu now states how many pages are currently open

the 'page of images' downloader will now say '(x already in queue)' when it reports how many urls were found, if any were already in the queue. (this should clear up some confusion where it would previously say '0 new urls' even when it found some stuff)

the gallery downloader will do essentially the same, but on a per-page basis. the text is a little crushed, so I may revisit this

fixed an issue with the manage services dialog not being able to rename dupe-named services on edit subdialog ok

the manage services dialog now uses the new listctrl! the listed services are no longer a horrific unsorted mess!

fixed the file import status button not showing on raw url downloader or import folder edit dialog

improved how some directory tree merging code deals with read_only files in the source

maybe fixed some unusual selection behaviour with the booru selection popup dialog. it now has a real ok button, rather than a mickey-mouse hidden one

completely deleted the old networking engine!

cleaned out some unused imports from the networking code and related entries from running_from_source.html

changed up and fixed some odd bugs in how how repositories test some error/isfunctional stuff vs regular paused status

hydrus network contexts now have a prettier name

ip address-based network contexts will no longer spam the bandwidth tracker with their useless subdomains

network jobs that are unable to attempt validation or login will now error immediately rather than waiting indefinitely

fixed up a bunch of test code that was broken due to the mismatch of network engines

broke some other test code due to the network engine transfer!

the client is more resilient about broken 'twisted' installs, and _should_ be able to boot without it. this may or may not apply to the built release--more work can be done here

some network job refactoring

clientside service code cleanup

misc fix that I can't remember

misc cleanup

misc refactoring

next week

I couldn't get to EXIF image rotation this week, so that's top of my list. If I can get that done in reasonable time, I'll start on the user-editable login engine stuff, which will probably involve planning and halloween-appropriate skeleton-writing.

#release

Ughhhh today is off to a great start

Wake up, roll over, grab phone to tell Siri to turn on bedroom lights. Nope! Gotta use passcode cuz iOS updated and OF COURSE it errored. Look up error, in the dark still, try the things that aren't backup and reinstall… not only does it not work but my lights now refuse to acknowledge me cuz I reset WiFi, which includes them. Get *that* fixed and the lights on, do morning things, settle in to fix this cuz my phone refuses to connect to cellular… you know, the thing that makes it a phone. Eject and reinsert SIM, sit on cat's paw, phone still an iPod, cat grumpy. Dig out laptop #1 to backup, cat extra grumpy, doesn't have room to backup which I should've seen coming since it's a window tablet laptop I got explicitly for coding for kiosks and is kinda crap. Groan, go get coffee, this is gonna require The Mac. Coffee… where is my other lid? Soaking in lemon juice under leftover cake because idfk. Ok, rinse yesterday's lid, coffee acquired. Boot Mac, get started, not enough room… argh that's right I haven't transferred video to the external HD yet… reboot Mac into other HD, and older OS. Looking good, login to iCloud, ok! Nope! I know it's the right password, google… this OS is too old for two factor authentication, can I turn it off? Of course not. Try password followed by the 6 digit code, which, by some absurdity of apple, works. Run backup FINALLY (it's been well over an hour now and I'm real glad I don't have a set schedule), restore iPhone and… requested resource not found?! Restore from backup is at "about 8 minutes"… nvm, "about 9 minutes"… yep, it went UP.

We're 2 hours from wake up, still restoring and I'm about to go live in the woods as a hermit with my cat, who thankfully wasn't too grumpy after she got breakfast. Turns out she didn't get dinner cuz she didn't come in cuz I wasn't the one calling her.

Update 1: looked like it was restoring fine… went through the whole thing and… an error occurred!

Update 2: I have to update iTunes, which means updating my entire OS… just so my phone can be a phone after an automatic iOS update.

Update 3: after far too long, we're in the final leg of our OS X update. I even managed to hit the key for the boot loader at the right time! Seriously glad my only plans today consist of "hope I'm not needed"… SHIT! I'm unreachable even if I am needed… whelp! He'll email on the off chance it's urgent (it won't be)

Update fucking FOUR: still need to update iTunes, by downloading it from apple online because The Mac is fucking ancient. About this Mac: 10.10.5… 10.10.5 users DL iTunes here… this software is not supported on your system. AND WHY THE FUCK NOT? Oh, because they *meant* 10.11.4? Guess I'm off to find an older new version of iTunes.

Update 5: that was a no go. Got my secondary HD as updated as I could and that's not enough for the version of iOS that caused this mess. Soooo… back to main HD, dump videos to external HD, updating iTunes now and it had damn well better work or I'm gonna have to drag my ass to my parents' PC and hope *that's* new enough (it probably is, my father kills computers every 2-3 years). Also, pretty sure there's a cat in my room but I can't check cuz The Mac is plugged in on top of me. My knees are sore, my feet are asleep, we're nearly FIVE FUCKING HOURS into this, and all because my phone ran an automatic update. So far 12.4 gets -10 stars.

Update 6: we're now 6 hours in, my sanity is fading… after 4 attempts to restore met with "network connectivity issues", despite YouTube playing continuously without issue I'm now downloading the IPSW file directly, it's nearly 3 gb because who fucking knows at this point? Hermitage is looking reaaaaal good…

Update 7: IPSW successfully downloaded, restore occurring! Turns out I'm not unreachable because iMessage works with just WiFi, so that's good.

Update 8: turns out the password to restore from an encrypted backup is NOT your iCloud password cuz? Reasons? It's also non-recoverable. Thankfully I figured out what password I had used on the fourth try… I need lunch, and more coffee, we're newly EIGHT HOURS from when I discovered this little problem

Update who cares at this point: restore complete, iCloud updating on phone… idfk… it's done! I have cellular!

My phone is a phone again!

That was a goddamn nightmare. I've got like 50 apps reinstalling, but pretty sure we're done here! Eight hours, eight fucking hours.

#wtf apple?#ios 12.4 #nightmare #computer issues

7 Things To Do By June 1st So You’re Mentally & Financially Prepared For Summer

It should come as no surprise that, after the winter holidays, we spend more on average during the summer than we do during the rest of the year. This makes sense to me, even though I identify as a non-summer-loving individual. Summer is billed to us as a time to relax and unwind from the rest of the year — there is no tax season in the summer! It’s time for vacation!

But in reality, I think a lot of us find that summer is more expensive because of pragmatics, not just “fun” spending. I’m already a little overwhelmed looking at a calendar of all my upcoming commitments. It happens to be the year I get married, but even excluding purchases related to my own wedding, it’s going to be an incredibly expensive season for me. It’s all good things, of course — other people’s weddings and bachelorette parties, trips to see friends and family, a fun, semi-working vacation with my fiance, Peter. But when you want to say yes to everything, your wallet has to say yes, too.

I’ve put together my own little cheat sheet for myself so that I have a working summer budget for both my time and my money. We are now two weeks away from the beginning of June, which gives you plenty of time to figure out your own summer budget and gameplan. These are just a few ways I’ve figured out how to keep my costs low during a season when I sometimes forget my financial goals:

1. Create a savings spreadsheet

First things first: know exactly what you’re saving, and what for. In a perfect world, you will have already saved everything you need to for at least the big-ticket items this summer, like an upcoming vacation. But we’re not perfect! I’m well on my way to saving everything I need for everything I have coming up this season, but I’m definitely not all the way there yet. (If this is also you, here are a few last-minute summer saving tips.) And remember, summer is also a time to be saving for the rest of the year — and if you put in a little work up front, you won’t have to spend so much time worrying about what you’re not saving.

In order to keep track of everything (not including long-term savings and my retirement contributions, which are automated), I keep a running spreadsheet of everything I need to save up for. The system I use means my spreadsheet is never going to be “complete,” because I just keep adding to it when new short-term savings goals pop up. Here’s every cost I currently have on my summer saving spreadsheet:

Wedding/honeymoon expenses

Flight to Vancouver

Colorado hotel

Vancouver hotel

Vancouver spending money

Vermont rental car

Flight to St. Louis

Rental car for Marissa’s wedding

Bridesmaid costs for Alice’s wedding

Honeymoon spending money

I keep an “amount saved” and “amount still needed” column, and update them as I add to the savings pile. Once everything on this list is accounted for in my savings, I’ll add new line items that are a bit further away — transportation and gift costs for the holidays, vacation savings for next year, etc. This system is, of course, not just a summer budget, but now is as good a time as any to really get organized with your savings!

2. Create a “shopping only” email address for store newsletters

And only check it when you actually need to buy something. This is honestly a wonderful thing to do at any point, but I find that even I am a more impulsive shopper during the summer than at any other time of year. When it gets unbearably hot and humid out, I just need more breezy dresses and linen culottes that may or may not look terrible on me. I’ve started transferring all of my store newsletter subscriptions to a dedicated email address that I stay logged out of and honestly forget about most of the time. Then, when it’s time to buy a dress or a swimsuit for an upcoming beach weekend, I can just log in and see which store has the best current promo codes.

3. Schedule a few “off” weekends

I can’t recommend this enough. I’ve ended up planning my summer so that I’m gone four weeks in a row this July, and while, again, they are all commitments I am looking forward to, that much back-to-back travel is not my favorite thing. After I realized that, I blacked out a few “off-limits” weekends on our household Google calendar. This is to help me (really us) maintain my sanity and also not spend so much money every single weekend, and risk blowing my whole summer budget. Also, I somehow feel like I missed out on NYC summer by the time October rolls around every year, and I want to try not to feel that way this year. Which brings me to:

4. Put together a list of go-to inexpensive activities in your area for when boredom inevitably strikes

Of course, the caveat here is that it’s a lot easier to find cheap and/or free summer activities if you live in an urban area. New York may be one of the most expensive cities in America (if not the world?), but there is a ton of free programming. Even just in the park across the street from our office, there seems to be something free going on every day. But, I promise, you do not have to live in a big city in order to not spend a ton of money this summer!

I recommend making a list of all of the inexpensive activities in your area. Look up walking trails and parks that you have yet to visit. See if your area’s rec center offers any free fitness classes, or maybe even adult recreation classes, like bird watching or painting. Check out whether your local bowling alley or movie theater has special deals every week (growing up, we had $5-ticket Tuesdays). There’s a good chance you live near a minor league baseball team — look up their schedule, because you can often find tickets for $10-20. The point is, if you have a list of options ready to go at all times, relieving your summer boredom and sticking to your summer budget is going to be so much easier all season long.

5. Start using a password manager

Again, this is something I personally recommend doing all year round. (I must give credit to Peter, who bothered me about setting one up for two whole years until I finally gave in.) But if you’re spending a lot of summer on vacation, or even just relaxing at home, you don’t really want to worry about things like your online security. A password manager can mean keeping all of your logins safe — including your bank and credit card accounts — so you have less to worry about. It’s a little annoying to get set up and start using, but it becomes second-nature after just a few days. We use 1Password, and it works great!

6. Queue up a bunch of books to put on hold on your library’s website

I already cannot praise the library enough, but I have become fully obsessed with keeping books on hold. You queue them up, and sometimes you have to wait weeks or even months before it’s your turn to read them — which, in my opinion, makes it all the more exciting when you do get to check them out. Most libraries offer ebooks to check out now, too, which makes it even more convenient. The NYPL and many other libraries use the Libby app, which I can attest is super user-friendly! I definitely recommend queueing up a bunch of books so that you have plenty of options come available to you this summer. Because even though I use the library, I am never without reading material. I literally haven’t bought a book all year (excluding one for my book club’s first meeting), and I’ve read 11 books in 4.5 months.

7. Make a few specific plans

Lastly, go ahead and make some plans — especially if you’re not traveling this summer. The more you have to look forward to, the more enjoyable the season will be. Also, the more you plan ahead, the more affordable it will be. It could just be marking your friends’ calendars for a few recurring potlucks, planning to see a summer blockbuster, or taking a day trip to the beach. Whatever your plans may be, simply having them will make you start feeling that little bit of summer joy we all need.

This is the most important part and at this stage, a lot of newbies are stuck. You have to focus on your niche to make money from blogging to achieve success.

If you’ve chosen to name your domain so you can skip this part.This for you If you haven’t previously picked the domain name-I don’t know how to pick a premium or brandable domain for my blog when I began my blogging career and that’s why I wasted 10 + domains because I don’t like it and they don’t look brandable either.I don’t think you make the same mistake as me?If so, then yes! Here are four tips for discovering your dream domain-Keep it Short & Quick – Try to keep your domain as possible, don’t make it too long because it’s not easy to pronounce and only because it’s easy to remember. (Jon Morrow changed their domain name to BoostBlogTraffic to SmartBlogger, and their blog gets millions of traffic because its domain now looks simple).

Use Keyword – You can use your keyword in your domain, which helps in the SEO process.Don’t use numbers – you can’t use numbers in your domain, because remembering numbers isn’t easyAlways use the TLD extension – I suggest that you use the.com domain extension because it’s for global use.If you can’t figure out the domain for your blog yet, you can use one method to find brandable domain name: LeanDomainSearchNote: Which platform would you use for blogging?I’m not going to give you a lot of time to clarify which platform is best, there’s a lot of blogging platform you can use to create your blog, but I’ve suggested that you go with WordPress.Why?

Hosting is like the computer’s hard disk, which held all of your data (images, messages, pages, etc.) and kept your data safe.

.How to make money from blogging.Now, do you believe the wordpress hosting is best for you?Lots of web hosting are available that you can use to launch your new blog. Yet, since they are useless, I do not recommend that to you.And instead of giving you the hosting list lot, I suggest that you go with the siteground.Since Siteground is the No.1 host for beginners, and honestly there is excellent and very reliable help and service; it’s also not very expensive like another hosting.So, are you just excited about starting your business?

I tried every cheap hosting when I started blogging but the load time is awfulStep 4: Build your blog on WordPressWordPress deployment doesn’t resemble rocket science,The only thing we do have is a detailed guide. I’m going to set up your WordPress site here in this section, to make it live on the web.Second, you must go to your siteground wallet, if you have already purchased it so that after logging in to your wallet you can see the same interface:To make a brand-new website, you may select the start of a website option.You then have to click on the app you want to use,To connect to your website, click on the WordPress app. After that you need to fill in some information of your website login:

This information is important, so I suggest that you write your password in the dairy sector so if you forget to search there,If all the detail is filled out,

Then you need to click on the full wide button to continue with the process.Finishing setup of your WordPress website will take a few minutes.

Click the Proceed button to go to customer area now:They are my account button in the menu, and click on the tab of installation:To visit your new Blog admin dashboard, you can find a button Go to Admin Panel:After you enter your login information, which you select during the installation, you will be redirected to your WordPress dashboard and click the login button.That’s just completing the first WordPress website setup, note or bookmark this URL:https://yourblog.com/wp-admin/ How to make money from blogging .

.If, by chance, you forget the URL so you can log in to your dashboard using the above URL structure (replace your domain.com name with your domain name). .

.Step 5: Pick a Catching Attention ThemeTheme and blog looks more relevant after installing wordpress when you’re just starting your new site.you move forward to make money out of blogging.

.The blog design is critical in blogging, because if you don’t have a great design, you will lose a lot of traffic and audience. Good design helps create more trust for your readers and making money from blogging would make you dream come true.In your WordPress inventory, there are plenty of free themes available for you to go for it, because you don’t want to spend more money on it in the initial stage of blogging, but then when you earn anything you have to buy paid themes because these free themes are easy to hack, and you’re going to lose all the website details. How to make money from blogging.Some of my favouritesAstra Pro – Astra Pro is lightweight and the theme is simple to customize. This theme is like a generatepress, but they have a lot of features that can’t be found in generatepress, and you can also make your homepage attractive and sensitive by using elementor.Focus Theme By Thrive Themes – Focus theme is the most effective theme with all the options available, such as email opt-in, shortcodes, and many more. The theme is totally sensitive and simple to customize. If you’re an affiliate marketer so for you this theme is like gold because it’s tailored for conversion.

You’ll find different free themes in the themes section, but if you already have that, click on the add new button.

Annotated edition, Week in Ethereum News, April 5 issue

Listening to Fountain of Wayne’s Sky Full of Holes, which is unfortunately their last album because lead songwriter Adam Schlesinger died this week at age 52 from COVID19. Unappreciated genius.

For me, the big news of the week is that about 10 days ago I decided to leave ConsenSys:

I’ve been doing this newsletter for almost 4 years now, it seemed like the right time to make the jump.

My expectation is that the newsletter stays free, while this annotated version goes subscriber-only of some sort. Figuring out the pricing model isn’t super easy - I think the way to maximize revenue is to price quite high, but I don’t particularly want to do that. If I spend the time on this, I’d like it to be read more widely. My tentative pricing is $9 a month or $99 a year.

The bigger question is whether the main newsletter can stay free long-term. I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I mostly enjoy doing it it. But I strongly believe in listening when the market speaks.

Roughly speaking, the audience is the 15,000 most important people in Ethereum and web3. That strikes me as quite valuable, and it should be apparent that sponsors and ads will transparently take a more prominent position. Of course, surveillance capitalism has trained people to think that the only value to advertising is what they can track - which I think quite understates the value of this audience. There’s no other way to reach all the insiders, devs, investors, journalists, and power users in one place.

More on this in the future, but the bottom line is: if you like Week in Eth News being free, I hope you’ll check out the sponsors. If we do it right, the sponsors should be value add and worth your attention.

Here’s the most clicked this week

Gitcoin extended the CLR round, my grant is here. I’d love it if you put 11 somewhere after the decimal so I can track the donation to the annotated newsletter. 1 Dai currently gets matched 73 Dai.

Eth1

Latest core devs call. Notes. Discussion of the curve used in eth2 (EIP2537), EVM subroutines (EIP2315), and reducing gas to call precompiles (EIP2046)

Alex Stokes explains how eth2 benefits from EIP2537

OpenEthereum has an initial alpha release

Updated tech tree on Stateless Ethereum – what’s needed for improved sync, witnesses, EVM changes, and binary trees

Gnosis is resuscitating the client formerly known as Parity as OpenEthereum, a welcome contribution to client diversity.

The Stateless Ethereum tech tree is an interesting exercise in decentralized ecosystem vs centralized VC coin.

If you talk to many of the VCs, they don’t believe in Ethereum’s decentralized ecosystem. They want large dev teams gathered in one central location under centralized leadership - hence all the VC coins with 9 figures to spend, but zero ways to deploy that capital effectively (nor do they even seem to try!) and zero community.

Ethereum isn’t like that. People show up and pitch in from all corners of the world. Often they start out making pull requests, and people see the quality of their contribution, then eventually they work their way into being a paid contributor. It’s decentralized, messy, and there’s often a lot of complaints from those who aren’t good enough to get funded full-time or fall through the cracks for a variety of reasons.

But it’s been working so far.

Eth2

Ben Edgington’s latest what’s new in eth2

Danny Ryan’s quick eth2 update

Bug bounty for the first phase of eth2 is live. Run ‘pip install eth2spec’

A Casper FFG explainer with proofs of its guaranty of liveness and safety

Latest Prysmatic client update – restarting the testnet to run latest spec, RFP for security audits

Latest Lighthouse client update – 3x sync speedup, catching a spec bug, prepping for multi-client testnet

A report on eth2 staking UX

Staking calculator update

The tldr of Eth2 right now is that the long-running multi-client testnet before eth2′s beacon chain launches is close.

Layer2

What is Zeropool? A privacy-first optimistic rollup that functions like a mixer. Next step: rewrite in Rust

Burner Wallet on Fuel’s rollup. Check it out on burner.fuel.sh

Dharma is doing a rollup chain with interstate, using the spec published on ethresearch

The emergent order of rollups is an interesting example of what I was talking about above. They’re all working out what their selling point is. Some are going after dexes (ie, loopring, idex, deversifi), payments (Dharma, Fuel), some privacy (Zeropool). That’s an extremely incomplete list, because I was pointing out the stuff from this week plus the stuff that’s live (loopring) or imminent.

Fortmatic’s magic.link for web2 logins without a password (input email -> click link in email -> logged in, even if clicked from different browser/device)

RicMoo’s Rooted: deploy a contract and be able to arbitrarily update it. Screens of Austin Griffith playing with it on eth.build

RicMoo continues his exploration of CREATE2 magic. It’s still something that is underappreciated (possibly good, as users probably also need some education) in our ecosystem among devs.

Samczsun continues his reign of terror when he shows up in your discord/telegram/riot/it doesn’t matter. As predicted, he’s the clear winner of this round of Gitcoin grants. Fun fact: I was his first contributor during the CLR round.

Fortmatic’s magic link is pretty cool, and applicable outside of our relatively small web3 circle.

Ecosystem

Ethereum.org is now available on IPFS at ethereum.eth on Metamask, Status, Opera, or Brave. You may have to type in https://ethereum.eth

Chart of Ethereum.org non-English traffic

Ethereum Foundation 2019 grant list

Devcon archive – a permanent site for devcon footage

xDai is now a dPOS chain. Related: Apple killing local storage frustrates Burner Wallet

I included the https bit because ethereum.eth didn’t work for me without explicitly including the https.

Enterprise

EIP2584: Trie format transition with overlay trees

EIP2583: Penalty for account trie misses

It’s an underrated thread that most of the apps are in progress of decentralizing themselves this year. That’s a trend that will continue.

RealT has sold 1m USD of tokenized Detroit real estate

Brave launches a swag store on Origin Protocol

Coingecko’s DeFi book is free this month

Graph of DeFi Score vs interest rate

Livepeer’s opportunity in a socially distanced world

Every week I get to this section, and my first instinct is to count “DeFi or not?” This week it’s 5/11. That doesn’t include prediction markets - though of course that’s an arbitrary distinction. Defining the contours of DeFi isn’t easy.

Given the stresses on centralized video infrastructure, Livepeer looks like a prescient bet from Doug and Eric, and something where decentralization can really deliver unique value.

Also very cool to see Brave using Origin Protocol. We need more of this.

Tokens/Business/Regulation

Fat Brands bonds live on mainnet show how Ethereum will eat Wall Street’s settlement layer

USDC grows 50% in a month

Subcontext of USDC growing is that many folks moved to USDC because DSR went down to zero, plus liquidity crunch etc etc.

However, the interesting part about Maker adding USDC is that USDC ended up being quite symbiotic for Dai. While USDC seemed like a competitor (and is to some degree!), it turned out that there’s a symbiosis there that emergent order created in a way that a centralized planner would never have come up with.

Open VDF, an architecture of the current hardware design

I wonder how long CMC remains dominant. Having an exchange as an owner seems like untenable in the long-run. While their dominance is enshrined by Google, that depends on 1) links which may disappear now that it is owned by an exchange and 2) Goog’s (human thumb on the scales) algorithm.

One has to wonder whether Bitmain can extend their ASIC again with another firmware update?

Bump to OpenVDF, a very interesting open hardware collaboration.
