Finally home...
Today I discovered Snipe-It - a selfhosteable inventory system. Well, I technically re-discovered it because I went with Homebox for my stuff here at... well, home. But Snipe-It might just land me a lovely project gig at my new place - SAML, OAuth, LDAP/AD... It can integrate into basically everything, it's crazy. And their mobile app looks pretty good! Really impressed by what I saw.
Meanwhile, I began checking out https://npmjs.com/nostr as the Nostr JS library of my choice for my upcoming projects. Small, got all the needed features and does exactly what a Nostr library needs to.
But then I looked at the multiaddr stuff on Github again, remembered it was made by the IPFS people, and just... Facedesked. The idea is that it is read by a human from left to right and tokenized that way. But programmatically, it's parsed right to left. Sounds easy enough; /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/80 reads fine. But, somewhere, someone, somehow thought it would be an amazing idea to make onion addresses work COMPLETELY differently X.x Because for that, you would do: /onion3/longhashthatgoeshereandrepsanonionaddress:PORT/tcp/80 - what?! x.x It's nowhere defined what said PORT even is! So I might end up using Multiaddr, but kindly correcting it's usage... And add i2p specs to it, because #i2p needs some love imho. Everyone be cutting onions, but where's the i2p folks at?? :D

Anyway - this was quite a day and I have a headache, am sleepy, am hungry, am coughing my lungs out close to another cold.

Time to eat and doomscroll untill I fall asleep. XD
