so, just testing some other clients rn
mattn's algia - works nice, though it takes a lot longer to come back with the results than it should
gonna try gossip now, because ok fuck it let's see - snort, coracle, primal all don't like my relay, but algia and nostrudel do, so, i haven't used gossip in ages
3 minutes later still waiting for the compilation lol
CPU at max, about 12gb of memory in use
bUt rUsT iS bEtTeR
Compiling gossip-lib v0.11.0-unstable (/src/mleku.net/g/m/cmd/gossip/gossip-lib)
Finished `release` profile [optimized] target(s) in 5m 06s
on a ryzen 5 with 6 cores and 64gb of memory, oh yeah, that's accessible to lowly plebs lol
and no, it doesn't talk to my relay, and i don't know why... maybe it actually has debugging and i can see some errors
and no, no logging, so, thanks.
i swear i made a mistake in forking from yet another shitty codebase again
i feel like i need to do penance and write this thing from scratch based on what i learned in the process, and get it all right from the get go
btcd/btcwallet was also a nightmare of excessive complexity as well, and so suboptimal it was laughable
Be honest, you only decided to try gossip so you could complain about rust 😂
hah, no, i was sincerely hoping there would be logs telling me something about why the UI was not saying happies for the relay, and i couldn't even get it to pull any events from anything, i remember this from before, had to go thorugh and manually do all this settings shit lol
and yeah, 5 minutes compilation time is pretty rich
so i'm literally rewriting... probably won't rewrite that much code actually, but just gonna start clean, it was way too opaque in fiatjaf's code to really readily grasp so many things and i eventually figured out what the hell was going on in some places and now i think i can write it a lot better
Gossip rules!
ok, good for you that you are ok with the complicated initial setup but it's really not friendly
It wasn't as simple as installing an android app, but I don't remember the installation being overly cumbersome... Maybe my system was already in a friendly state (dependencies or something)
i built it from source, that was fine (although it took 5 minutes on a medium spec machine with 64gb and 12 cores and NVMe)
i gave it my nsec and it found my relays and then proceeds to not actually connect to anything or fetch anything, even when i manually added more
if i sit there 5 minutes and can't get even one event to be fetched i'm done trying to use the app, terrible UX
