re: uni 

context sorta is that this design course keeps going on about goal setting and moral values so now that we're at the individual assignment it's time for some anticapitalism

Hi all!

If you don't know who we are, Streetmix is an open source street design tool where anyone can play with and "remix" streets, with the goal of making streets better and safer for everyone.

Here's a great recent example of what our community does with Streetmix:

Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock & 1991 is always such a perfect combination of high-energy tunes

I think the code I refactored works a lot better now, but also it's still such a fucking mess. This (parallel) media streaming stuff is just so complex

re: writing, external validation thoughts 

which in turn means I'm not a great *technical* writer, because I haven't been forced to practice that.
And a lot of what I have published ends up being long rambles I kinda never finished but just published anyways because I'm not ever going to finish them.
But I also don't feel like practicing this because what's the point, right..

writing, external validation thoughts 

i think im a decent writer, but I end up only really doing it when I have to, so mainly uni reports.
Thought about it and I think it comes down to external validation, where I'd rather do programming because it's at least a useful end result for myself (and maybe others), whereas with writing I don't get that much satisfaction from just doing it, and so far I haven't felt like any of the blogs/project writeup thingies I've published have really provided much value for anyone else either, so I just end up not doing it

quite a lot of refactoring progress today, working matrix media download endpoint again both from local and federated servers, with Redis backed in-memory caching

@Elizafox The last thing the fediverse needs is more "white" lists :blobnotlike:
Federated block lists will be the way to go, mitigate the work between trusted instances while still having other instances discoverable between eachother. Allowlists have their place too in micro-communities and special interest instances and should also still be an available feature though.
In future use the FediblockMeta tag if you're not suggesting something to block, that's what the Fediblock tag is for
