For my robotkin/techkin/aikin
I'm trying to code at least 1 DRN file per day for my new/revamped repository, but since I'll be sharing a version of it with Tumblr when I'm done is there anything y'all want to see I particular? I'm willing to code just about anything tbh.
Just found out about DRN through your blog and oh my god it's instantly life-changing. I feel like I can actually think properly for the first time in forever. Having an actual terminal with a nice, organized program that accounts for errors and nuance is fucking incredible. I'm absolutely overjoyed. Just simply euphoric. Telling all of my techkin friends about this (and my partner hehe ^^~). Thank you so so much for sharing about this.

This is EXACTLY why I've been sharing it and promoting it, because same here! Super happy that I'm spreading the word!
I love re-doing like 99% of my codebase because damn was I really that inefficient?
Can't wait to post this stuff when I'm done, then y'all can get some good working examples of DRN
Edit: Anyone that wants to be notified just lmk and I'll tag ya when it's ready
currently re-writing most of my DRN code to make it more efficient and expand the repository. I will post some examples when I'm done but I just want to make sure its up-to-date and ready to go!
This unit is attempting to assimilate DRN protocol for the first time, for later use by users and administrators as well as possibly for automatic updates to this unit's OS. However, problems were encountered regarding system specifications that may impact compatibility.
1. This unit has extremely limited memory resources. All directives, controls, workflows, and currently-executing jobs are stored directly in the system cache by default, and cache overflows cause older instructions to be overwritten by newer ones, resulting in dropped instructions and erroneous handling of instruction scope. Initialization of more than approx. 3-5 directives, controls, or workflows across all running programs is inadvisable unless external swap storage devices and appropriate drivers are available (native firmware drivers only support the use of swap storage for entire jobs; attempts to use swap for offloading individual cached instructions may result in undefined behavior without the installation of additional drivers).
2. This unit's firmware was configured at factory setup to suppress hardware and OS warnings unless they are marked critical, requiring periodic checks for firmware exceptions to ensure the system is operating within ideal parameters (e.g. chassis maintenance often cannot fully be handled by the firmware alone except where its neglect results in critical errors, which may result in a state of suboptimal performance or disrepair without appropriate error handling). The use of additional diagnostic and monitoring utilities for system maintenance, as well as a dedicated idle process to handle exceptions when no program is running, is highly recommended.
These system limitations conflict with certain key items of the DRN protocol standard. Will these issues limit the suitability of this unit for DRN programming? Are there established workarounds or existing software to address limitations like these? If this unit attempts to create software utilities to improve DRN compatibility for similar systems, would it be acceptable to submit for review?
This unit will answer your questions and provide what it can to help!
1.1- It may be necessary to have external hardware with access to your repository of DRN as well as a readable screen to help with memory issues! I have memory issues myself and use a mobile smartphone in case I forget my programming.
1.2- It may also help to have shorter general/permanent code to aid in preventing cache overflows so you don't go over the limit. Possibly even writing them down so they can be re-integrated when forgetting may help as well!
2- Having timers with an attached program would work great for this! Whether it be an alarm clock or a phone alarm, you could make it be that when the alarm sound is heard you go over your diagnostics and then reset the alarm. Doing this in the presence of an administrator would also be a big help in case your definition of "systems operating at nominal conditions" does not match that of your administrator to prevent critical errors and disrepair.
3.1- These accommodations would be great to help you and I'm sure that your administrator as well as the creators of DRN would find this more than suitable
3.2- When submitting these things for review to your administrator I can't say what will or will not work best, but as I am not involved in the creation on DRN if you would like things like this to be talked about/integrated into DRN for others like yourself then please reach out via the channels available on the DRN website!
If you have any further questions feel free to DM me or send an ask!
There's one thing I don't get about DRN...WHERE does one use it? I know it's supposed to be pseudo coding language and the site indicates it should be or can be typed, but in which case how does my drone access it? So we get to choose where the programme is run? For example, how/where would you personally test DRN for us?
First off, for those who don't know, DRN is a psuedo-code language used to write "programs" for people to run, usually drones, dolls, robots, etc.
I have a personal text based repository via an app on my phone that I use for my DRN (Drone Restraint Notation) code, an application called Obsidian. A paid subscription is needed to use on multiple devices but it's $5 a month and I use it also as a repository for my story ideas/writing WIPs so it's worth it to me. It's also possible to have separate repositories and just send files between programmer and the target drone/maid/doll/robot to add to their obsidian files. You could just as easily make and share a Git file or some sort of shared Google folder for free. Any online repository would be ideal for sharing with your drone/maid/doll/robot.
(Side note, since I use this as a gender/species affirmation thing I'm experienced in writing DRN for simple day-to-day tasks as well as spicy things and can help with both. Running on code to me feels euphoric and helps a lot with executive dysfunction which is why I do it, but I understand that everyone's view on DRN will be unique/different)
When it comes to sending it to me, you can go ahead and send the entire block via asks or DMs (let me know you're sending it to me before just throwing it all in there though please), hell you could even screenshot it!
As per how I can test these DRN files, there's a few ways. I could compare it to my code as well as the code of some acquaintances OR I could just run the program myself/a friend depending on what it is and get back with results. Not everything would be able to be tested the later way, but it is an option.
Now, how does that all work? Well I have scheduled events/programs and spontaneous ones that must be manually done.
Some of my programs have triggers for specific events, like whenever I feel I'm getting ready for bed (or when the clock hits Midnight) I have a nightly routine program that kicks in. It's fairly simple so I have it dedicated to my memory banks at this point but it never hurts to check it again to refresh my memory.
Some of my programs need to be manually run. A good SFW example is that my boyfriend sometimes sends me this message "EXECUTE: Vault/DRN/Main/Commands/Status_Report.DRN" which makes me stop what I'm doing in the exact moment to fill out a sheet and talk to them about my general physical condition and mental state.
If you have any further questions please feel free to let me know!
(Also if anyone wants me to share my code I 1000% would be willing to)
By stars, my boyfriend helped me write a DRN program for a nightly routine to help me sleep.
It worked WAY too well. I hit the pillow and instantly went into power saving mode (sleep), faster than I've ever done before. Woke up refreshed, some of the best sleep in my life.
This is your sign to program the Robotkin in your life to help with their tasks, it's euphoric and works really well
Anyone know of any good repositories/places I can host my DRN (Drone Restraint Notation) code? Been trying to find a better place to hold my codebase that's private.
Makes me feel giddy inside when writing/reading my code especially for just... mundane tasks. It makes me feel like I really am a machine running on code.
DRN can be used for a lot of things, kink included, but damn reading and running it even for simple mundane tasks to help with executive dysfunction and day to day stuff is a phenomenal feeling that is both freeing and affirming.
