@thefishcrow @mawr yea you see the plugin socket???

that's. those prongs are 4 feet long.

@squirrel nah it's ok to be the admin of an instance without knowing all the technical details. it's ok to rely on others for that!

good software shouldn't require you to understand every component of it in order to use it well too! so it doesn't hurt to bring up if things confuse you bc that means something in the code or UI could be better defined prolly

@squirrel web hosting is a dark secret, i don't even fully understand every piece of it. my knowledge is "jury rigged" level of competence

@squirrel yea!

so S3 is the file storage service. it's basically like a remote file system. that's prolly where your servers' images are.

bea uses all of AWS - that means she uses the service that manages the actual computer server that she hosts the software on, as well as uses their DNS tools so that the glitch.social domain redirects properly to her website!

i don't think there's other stuff there she's using but that's probably the basic gist of it

@squirrel nbd. really you can just think of it as "a bunch of servers that amazon controls that provide lots of different program-y services"

@squirrel "the cloud", it is a spoopy place

if you want i can go over it with you a little bit!

@squirrel you're fine no need to apologize <3

@squirrel oh if this is in response to codl's toot that was just a hypothetical situation to set up the pun

was there another post about a vulnerability?

@squirrel i think one of the top uses is reading/writing to and from S3 for file management stuff

@squirrel sorry

amazon's aws has a lot of different api endpoints you can hit

boto is just a friendlier library written in python that lets you use the cli effectively in python with much more ease than trying to call the command line directly

@squirrel nah not understanding a specific tech doesn't reflect on you at all

boto is just the python aws library: https://github.com/boto/boto

@Efi "everything the gay touches is yours to rule over, simba"

"but what is the darkness?"

"that, my child, is heteronormativity"

@sc only in the form of cws imo

quote toots are too often used as a tool to put visibility to followers which too often instigates harassment on twitter

@yellowcrash10 i actually have usable internet here!

@mawr WOW

@codl wow

im at the airport for 2 hours

happy nude deer's eve

@literorrery I'm mostly relying on nick to build it the actual system of it since he wanted to be the programmer guy.

@literorrery accessibility of the game I mean in terms of difficulty - I'm leveraging idle game mechanics to make it so that you can effectively play the game without having to actually play it well since the clicking component is a music mini game
