<2023-01-12T10:53:46.000Z> tyler@1611.social: If you're a saved believer, if you wanted to make a wholesome alt on 1611.social and completely refrain from degeneracy there, I'd be happy to accept your help on this expanding project to provide a sane and accessible API for the KJV.
<2023-01-12T10:57:48.000Z> CentaurBreeder: >If you're a saved believerI am. >if you wanted to make a wholesome alt on 1611.social and completely refrain from degeneracy thereumm I'll think about it. >I'd be happy to accept your help on this expanding project to provide a sane and accessible API for the KJV.I would love to help. but I am not knowledgeable in coding or math. so I don't really know how I could help. 
<2023-01-12T11:00:24.000Z> tyler@1611.social: If you want to learn and make yourself better, I would be happy to give you direction and instruction, and answer questions. The thesaurus building example is a good way to learn data structure, how to query online resources, storing files to disk, and most importantly, making the data useful. If that's some skills you want to pick up, it'd be good to teach the brethren.
<2023-01-12T11:01:46.000Z> tyler@1611.social: For the alt on 1611 that's not a requirement, I'm just not going to put "Centaur breeder" in the README.me for God's sake
<2023-01-12T11:01:47.000Z> tyler@1611.social: lmao
<2023-01-12T11:07:33.000Z> CentaurBreeder: >If you want to learn and make yourself better, I would be happy to give you direction and instruction, and answer questions.why thank you. I will take you up on that offer. I guess do you have any good resources to recommend for the basics or a beginner? >The thesaurus building example is a good way to learn data structure, how to query online resources, storing files to disk, and most importantly, making the data useful.I'll look into that. thank you >If that's some skills you want to pick up, it'd be good to teach the brethren.I completely agree. I would like to learn how to be more entuned with technological things. 
<2023-01-12T11:08:43.000Z> CentaurBreeder: >For the alt on 1611 that's not a requirement, I'm just not going to put "Centaur breeder" in the README.me for God's sakelol. yeah I get ya. but you could just put "Cent" but at the same time I can just make a new alias. 
<2023-01-12T11:11:51.000Z> CentaurBreeder: well I'll just give you a heads up. I am still a very new Christian. only having confirmed my faith about 3 years back. I still struggle with my faith alot. I also have yet to fully read the bible. I do own a kjv bible though. 
<2023-01-12T11:18:19.000Z> tyler@1611.social: Let's chat tomorrow I just got to bed
<2023-01-12T11:18:59.000Z> CentaurBreeder: sure thing. have a goods night rest. just message me whenever you are awake. 
<2023-01-12T21:29:42.000Z> tyler@1611.social: I don't know what you mean by confirmed, if you are trusting only in the finished work of Jesus, his death burial and resurrection, and aren't trusting in any way that you have to be a good person or abstain from sin to be saved from hell, you're saved. Here's what the Bible says 1611.social/about/salvation 
<2023-01-12T21:30:32.000Z> tyler@1611.social: To start, install python3 and make sure you have curl too. What's your os?
<2023-01-12T21:31:07.000Z> CentaurBreeder: I am using windows 11 on my laptop
<2023-01-12T21:32:00.000Z> CentaurBreeder: also by confirmed I mean. I put my hand on my bible and accepted the holy spirit. that Jesus is my savior and God is my creator. 
<2023-01-12T21:32:11.000Z> tyler@1611.social: That's fine, do you have enough hard disk space for a virtual machine? It's simply easier to do sw development on a Linux computer, the tools "just werk"
<2023-01-12T21:32:57.000Z> CentaurBreeder: umm do you have any you'd recommend? I have virtual box but I am willing to use another one 
<2023-01-12T21:34:28.000Z> CentaurBreeder: well my hard drive was full so I bought a external hard disk. will that work? 
<2023-01-12T21:36:26.000Z> tyler@1611.social: Virtual box is fine, and you can run them on an external it'll just be slow if it's spinning media
<2023-01-12T21:38:37.000Z> CentaurBreeder: I see okay. um is there any specific linux distro you'd recommend? I've only dabbled around in linux slightly. so I'll be very knew with all that.  
<2023-01-12T21:40:55.000Z> tyler@1611.social: Ubuntu 22.04 is fine. Some people sperg out on distro but it really doesn't matter.
<2023-01-12T21:41:41.000Z> CentaurBreeder: I see I'll go with that then! Thank you very much for helping me and giving me this advice 
<2023-01-12T21:42:44.000Z> tyler@1611.social: No problem nigger 👍🏻
<2023-01-12T21:43:07.000Z> CentaurBreeder: lol okay nigger 
<2023-01-12T21:46:14.000Z> CentaurBreeder: alright man. I'll get the virtual machine set up with ubutubu here later. I am super tried and just got off work so I am gonna take a nap. I'll let you know when I get all the stuff set up! 
<2023-01-12T21:46:34.000Z> CentaurBreeder: God bless you brother see you later! 
<2023-01-12T21:47:47.000Z> tyler@1611.social: No worries, sleep well, God bless
<2023-01-13T11:16:24.000Z> tyler@1611.social: I wrote it and it works, but I commented the code all the way through and wrote a partial guide on how to work through it, if you still wanted to learn this skill, I have a working example where you can work through a problem step by step.
<2023-01-13T23:12:25.000Z> CentaurBreeder: nice okay! also I think I will make a wholesome alt on 1611. if you're good with that. 
<2023-01-14T00:25:03.000Z> tyler@1611.social: Yes I am
<2023-01-14T00:33:26.000Z> tyler@1611.social: Just make sure you can comply with the rules.
<2023-01-14T00:33:40.000Z> tyler@1611.social: And I run it from home so I can't serve a lot of large media like video files
<2023-01-14T03:45:48.000Z> CentaurBreeder: oh I see okay
