been a very interesting saturday night for me playing dominoes with the nearby local lowlifes at the snack bar conquilha - i'm actually quite good at playing dominoes, i should go some rounds with the boys who come to play on occasion it's a fun game, actually, and there is some strategy to it, trying to string together your numbers into a line while minimising other players ability to do this, and the loud clack of the pieces on the table... and the cameraderie... don't even really need to speak the language very well to be able to play, just learn things like "no jogo" (can't play) when you can't speak with your domino and then, idk even how this came up but the smart contract language of Internet Computer Protocol is called Motoko... and honestly i can't even remember how two and two made four but i bumped into the fact that Motoko is the first name of the lead character of Ghost in the Shell i hate programming languages other than #golang but that kinda made me smile... here i am working with a "smart contract" "blockchain" project that named their funny new language after the lead character after a cyborg from an anime that had a big influence on me in my early late teens... things go round in circles, a lot more than many realise history rhymes
ah yes and forgot to mention the relay is running beautifully now, cosy between 150-300mb memory, i watch its encode buffer, after some 5 hours still only racked up a bit over 1mb of memory can't wait to really put it on the line and get a big flood of reqs on it and really prove it, but for now, i have one main task: load it up with a heap of events demonstrate this being dumped onto the level 2 data store spin up fresh new relay watch client on new relay seeing everything almost immediately after it fetches it off the L2 then with the polling on the L2 watch two relays transiting events via the L2 doesn't matter what the L2 is it will be the first #layer2 #nostr #relay and i'm actually kinda late to this game
