ladies and gentlemen DO I HAVE A STORY TO TELL! i know, its been 20 days scince my last devlog… but ive made some uncomprehendable progress on the project. in these 7 hours, i have managed to get the proxy server to work with the archive, ive managed to get the dsi to not guru meditate, and actually connect to the wifi using the old wpa wifi protocol! that was the problem with the library im using, DSWIFI. the ersion of dswifi im using, is an old one, from 10 years ago. back befre the 2.0 update when they added calcio. back then dswifi didnt hav support for anything other that wpa, no wap, 1,2,3 nothing. after that, i actally managed to get working search results! i hosted the php proxy using msys bash, whatever works i guess, and the dsi is now recieving and transmitting requests and data through the proxy to the internetarchive. but my next bottleneck! back ten years ago, you tube was really weak, primitive, low quality. and even then, the dsi had do you every last rescource on te lowest data type, ITAG 7, to be able to run. but the project extracts RAW JSON METADATA, which as you know can be really bulky. so my next move will be to make a filter for my php server, to only show results under a certain size, so the json metadata will be processable.
