<dthompson>I believe ocapn is on his radar now, but wasn't when this talk was presented <randy__>Hmm. I'd mentioned it once or twice in the last few months. <randy__>He said to me that he's keen on flying solo. <dthompson>randy__: yeah this was prior to you telling him about ocapn <dthompson>I know he wants to fly solo, but at least he knows ocapn exists now <calmclam>FYI your website don't seem to have a TLS certificate for www.ocapn.org (but does ocapn.org). You are listed in some search indexes as www.ocapn.org <dthompson>calmclam: yeah we're aware, thanks for reporting it though! I have a fix for it that's pending review and deployment. <Zarutian_iPad>reminds me, ocapn over https (I am puttering around with val.town ), a bad or okayish idea? <dthompson>I'd like to see that for goblins, so you can have browser programs talking to servers like your personal relay <Zarutian_iPad>that works for that but I do have the issue with that each https has a timeout with val.town (one minute) and many other lambda function servers having similiar <calmclam>I'd be worried if you build on top of http what web vulns (if any) could be repurposed to attack you <dthompson>Zarutian_iPad: I don't know what val.town is but websocket was made so you can have a steady connection to a server <dthompson>goblins has a tcp+tls netlayer, websocket+tls would be the browser equivalent <Zarutian_iPad>yeah, it isnt the steady connection that is a problem but that the function invoked via https gets timed out and killed. <dthompson>long running tasks isn't really something aws lambda is designed for. <dthompson>aws has a very horrible service on top of lambda called step functions that can be used to build a state machine out of many lambda functions <dthompson>but otherwise long running tasks need to be pushed to ec2 or ecs <Zarutian_iPad>can probably do similiar to those step functions with val town functions and the blob storage
