So sorry, IT engineers

Me and Synthron are discussing devRant on a custom 6502 computer.

New AltRant build!

This new build brings the new Subscribed feed to AltRant! This took me quite some time to implement and I hope it will be stable...

Here's the link for those who want to join the TestFlight:

I agree with everything you say, German man.

I don’t get why ARM assembly is so much clunkier than it should be. It could’ve been so much more readable and easy to write in if more dev-friendliness was built into the syntax.

New AltRant update!

This update features a fix for instability issues in the Notifications tab. All users that are in the testing group - please update soon! I am giving you a 3-day update window.

A new update was just released to AltRant!

This update features:
- Massive UI responsiveness fixes and enhancements, including many fixes for UI bugs, fixes and things that needed tweaking
- A COMPLETE overhaul of all devRant API methods (a switch to my new library, SwiftRant)
- Progress with Android compatibility (replaced incompatible libraries for compliance with Mutata)
- Enhanced security with the Keychain

I haven't said anything yet, but an AltRant notification server exists. Support for it will arrive very very soon on the AltRant app. It will run locally on the end user's personal computer, and it does not require a constant connection to the phone. Both devices need to be connected to the same local network on first connection, but after that you can wander out of your house or disconnect from the local network and still receive notifications.

DISCLAIMER: ALL SENSITIVE USER CREDENTIALS ARE NOT STORED *ANYWHERE* EXCEPT ON THE LOCAL USER'S MACHINE. NO DATA IS SENT TO ME. THE SERVER IS OPEN-SOURCE, HAS NO RELEASE BINARIES AND RUNS ON PYTHON.

Note to @dfox: if you want this to not exist or not be supported inside AltRant, please tell me or send me an email about it.

I just released a new version of AltRant for TestFlight users, it’s supposed to fix most issues about the home feed layout. All testers are asked to update and test.

I haven’t told anybody about this outside of my close friends and the dR discord, but I am getting another fumo. This one will be the Kaguya Houraisan fumo. (ᗜˬᗜ)

@dfox For some reason, I can favorite my own rants if I send a request to do it manually, I guess that's not... good?

fumofumo

don’t judge me

Prototype no. 2 is looking really good (and also works so well to the point that the only thing that’s holding us back is supply chain)!

Also yes, that is a Touhou Youmu fumo (ᗜˬᗜ)

There is hope for AltRant on Android.

Just sayin'.

My military CS role interview is coming in 2 days. So fucking excited!!

Me and @svc64 having a *casual* conversation

My second CS army test.

After doing the test, I can’t tell you shit because I will be under an indefinite NDA.

ATTENTION @dfox!!!!

I found a bug in the devRant REST server. When you upload a rant with a vertical image (when the height is bigger than the width), the server seems to flip between the width and the height (I don't know if it happens all the time), and when I fetch the rant, the JSON data for image width and height is flipped! (in the JSON, the attached image section contains width and height information about the image, and they are flipped in their values, meaning that the width key is equal to the height, and the height key is equal to the width).

An explanation on the image below:

The small window on the left shows the real info about the image. Notice how the height is 800 and width is 600.

The window at the bottom shows the data fetched from devRant servers. Notice how the width returned from the server is 800 and the height returned from the server is 600.

God damn it, if you aren’t a member of the devRant discord, please join already. Please.

@dfox I sent you an email regarding a better, safer implementation of the third-party notification server! Can you take a look?

So I just noticed something.

When I am using my client when I am connected to LTE and not a good WiFi signal, the app hangs every time you want to vote on a post/comment because I didn’t make it non-blocking. This will be fixed in the next few days!

It’s amazing how experience degradation can be absolutely invisible depending on your connection.

Progress on the ESP32 studio equalizer project! It looks much better and has less stupid silly cables everywhere.

The time has come.

Today, I am giving everyone full public access to my devRant client for everyone!

In order to install the client, you need to install TestFlight and then open this link:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/...

This will let you join the public alpha/beta.

Please note that I will not be uploading the app to the iOS App Store because dfox doesn't allow it.

Please also note that this version of the app is quite early, and there will be glitches and bugs. The app automatically reports crashes to me, so I would know if there is a bug in the app.

My second prototype of the studio equalizer. It’s not even close to being done. It’s barely even started.

@dfox, please look at your email.

I begin by just writing my ideas and them attempting to roughly image their execution in my head, and then start to write the code. I found this method to pose the smallest amount of holdups and issues. Of course, you might have to rethink some procedures but it mostly works.

Personal life update:

Like I said a few rants ago, I got a job in a call center for a national Japanese food chain. I am getting a pretty good salary for a teenager, and I am being paid the same amount as the other call center agents.

What I didn’t tell you is that I am doing a pre-university SAT, and it’s pretty much destroying me. I regret choosing to do it.

About AltRant: currently on short hiatus, though I swear to god that I will DEFINITELY upload it to TestFlight so you can get a taste of the app. All I ask is patience. I think I will wait until iOS 15 is out because the latest betas created a massive issue in a few parts of the app. All of them are aesthetic but damn it, I want to fix them only when they are officially there to stay because right now iOS 15 is still in beta.

FUCKING FINALLY

I GOT THE APPLE DEVELOPER CERTIFICATE

PUBLIC TESTFLIGHT PARTICIPATION SOON

THIS IS SLAMMIN
