• agora
  • agora bridge
    • api is up in dev!
      • what's the first method that we really need?
      • and the second?
  • opt in writes
    • test
  • agora server
    • need to choose a feature to drive further :)
    • better search?
    • querying other agoras?
    • a small one: fix the feeds that don't include canonical node :) it's been bothering me for a while
      • took some time to get to it but I enjoyed the process :)
        • project mountain was what a lot of time went into, it was fun though
  • #push agorai
    • this is what I'm calling setting up other Agoras now
    • purchased agor.ai during the week
    • want to point (wildcard?) it to hypatia today
    • update the docker-based Agora of Flancia in hypatia (did vera commit changes?)
      • asked vera if she made changes anywhere public
• #push ubuntu
  • I upgraded nostromo to ubuntu 22.04 and, again, I ended up with no sound.
    • I needed to run the following to recover it:
    • sudo touch /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio && systemctl --user restart pipewire-session-manager
      • as per the top answer in https://askubuntu.com/questions/1403665/no-sound-output-devices-listed-after-upgrade-from-21-10-to-22-04
    • Also I had to fix sources.list by hand again before being able to do-release-upgrade because I missed the "upgrade window" for 21.10 so it was completely gone from repositories (?).
    • Both of these are very surprising to me, in this day and age. I don't quite get in particular how a less technical user should be expected to update sources.list by hand because they didn't upgrade for half a year or so?
• I finally gave chezmoi templates a try. They are fine.

During the week I read Wolfram's article on the Wolfram Physics Project, as recommended by xiq, and I enjoyed it. I also re-read Scott Aaronson's review of A New Kind of Science; I think it still holds and seems to apply to the project at large.
