retoor80821dDon't know how to get motivation, it's just there.
I am currently working on a webdav implementation that I first have written with Python but weird enough does not come above 40mb/s, even when i stripped out auth / database and implemented caching. Now, I'm converting it to C with mongoose and cjson and sqlite. That was the plan from the beginning, but i tried to get everything right in python first, so that would be ok in C too automatically. Just case of good preparation. So, even with AI, still a bunch of work. -
Tounai161921dPreparing Halloween costume and I guess work on a random project since the Halloween costume ate the whole “fun” budget for this month. -
D-4got10-01237320dThe same way I spend it every other time - relaxing... but also making pancakes... It's been a while since I've eaten them last. Toppings include maple syrup, cheesecake filling, poppy seed filling, marmalade.
Depends on the 'thing'. Usually time. I spend enough time away from that thing, the motivation appears. -
BordedDev284620d@jestdotty It's almost like dopamine is key factor in motivation ;P Hope you're having a great weekend.
So far I've setup a rack and then do some java/spring -
BordedDev284620dAh and to answer the question, depends, sometimes spite, curiosity or wish not to wonder too much what the abyss is like... -
Tounai161919d@sandeepbalan basically Dracula from castlevania (which I’ve never seen, but I don’t even decide of my Halloween costumes anymore apparently) -
@retoor 8 years into the IT field, and this is my first time hearing about WEBDAV. #MoreYouKnow Thank you!

@jestdotty Sometimes i make myself doing hard stuffs to prevent high dopamine release. . But sometimes i feel down and look out for instant gratification for sudden dopamine
-
jestdotty652818d@sandeepbalan wanting and not getting also increases dopamine fyi. it's what causes addictive behaviours
it's just released in different parts of brain, whether it's want or satisfaction of reward. satisfaction of reward then makes you smarter though and increases your time preference (you'll be more patient in the future)
//random Ted talk because I've been researching, sigh -
retoor80817d@sandeepbalan it's actually the best web protocol that windows supports. It's old, but battle tested. You can mount is as hard drive in windows and Linux. Next Cloud also supports it. SSH is actually better, it offers also more features. The webdav engine (dav2fs) is not so sophisticated. But I worked on such project several times and Snek has it also built in, self written in aiohttp. My first server was many years ago. It was in C single threaded with Linux select system call. What did I spend a lot of effort to stream multiple files at once buffered. The performance was amazing. But the final version was in the end over-engineered and even had a web-interface and got lost. Very sad about that, because it was my first 'bigger' project in C. In C such project is quite big. Also, it was a challenge to make it working on Windows as drive and on Linux and on Cadaver (webdav native client). With webdav, you can also tag files and you have locks for writing to prevent issues.

retoor80817d@sandeepbslan webdav does get requests with a body. Ever heard about the http methods PROPFIND PROPPATCH LOCK MKCOL?
That reminds me, i have to add them in my https://molodetz.nl/dashboard reverse proxy, i have now my webdav servers down i guess.
That reverse proxy really costed more time than expected, but it does some magic causing me to interpret the HTTP protocol and all it's exceptions. Websockets, chunked, SSE. Whatever. Grr. Written in C, does not cause any overhead. My python version sometimes had a hard time, see what data is going over the line there often. -
BordedDev284617d@retoor Saying windows supports it, is a "strong" statement ;P It can be bludgeoned into supporting some version of it ;P
