 spacekitteh | yes yes it does, good | 02:25:51 |
 @hexa:lossy.network | it does | 02:25:53 |
| spacekitteh | can i make a poll about how to implement something in the thread border router module i'm working on? | 02:26:26 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | why does it neeed to be a poll? | 02:26:49 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | do you want people to just click an answer without any particular reasoning? | 02:27:08 |
| spacekitteh | 'cus there are several ways i can implement some settings, and i want to see which will be the most convenient for people | 02:27:22 |
| spacekitteh | basically, do people want to supply a binary blob for their configuration file, or would they prefer setting a whole bunch of options which then is used to make a script which runs after service startup; if the former, would they want the configuration file to be mutable or not | 02:30:02 |
| spacekitteh | i get why it's a binary blob, as it's usually for storage on flash/EEPROMs, and posix is a special case, but damn it's annoying | 02:32:21 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | what is the binary blob? | 02:32:52 |
| spacekitteh | basically a bunch of TLVs describing the network configuration | 02:33:38 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | so it sounds likely that the user wants to configure that | 02:34:28 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | in an easy way | 02:34:33 |
| spacekitteh | yeah. but there is basically no easy way other than using the daemon's CLI to set stuff, and then grabbing the file | 02:35:44 |
