hey android, could you please say which port I should use?

i'm literally doing a port scan against my phone right now just to figure out which port to use lmfao

@awoo 5555

failed to connect to '192.168.178.92:5555': Connection refused

@mayu in other words: it is not the default port.

@awoo it is the default port adb tries to connect to and it worked on some devices mayu worked with
mayus phone just picks a random port around 50000 and mayu cant connect to it anyway

beta software is great to play around with, until you stumble across such UX failures

@awoo alternatively try pairing with the QR code using android studio (mayu never got that to work either)

...made the mistake of looking for UDP instead of TCP ports

1. UDP port scans are really slow, ouch
2. it's a TCP port I was looking for, which... makes a lot of sense actually now that I think about it lol

and ruling out two of the other ports got me down to one starting with 46 (but still 5 digits) in this case

@awoo don't you have to connect to it first and it shows the port there?

and, well, turns out that the thing I wanted to do could've been much easier (by just exporting the Gboard dictionary and modifying it on the toaster, instead of manually entering stuff through the computer via scrcpy)

and it's interesting that google decided to go with a tab-separated format for the dictionary.txt within the PersonalDictionary-[bunchofnumbers].zip

@awoo i guess a tab is the only thing they could reasonably expect would never show up in the middle of a suggestion?

my train autism is happy :3 and I just realised I got one of the things wrong already, aaaaaaaaa- :neobot_explode:​

already future-proofing the dictionary for when the TINA trams eventually go into service considering the 3rd paragraph of the German Wikipedia article about those trams¹ :neobot_this_is_fine:​

i'm already fixing mistakes in some of my check-ins lol, this thing's great (while slightly hindering because of the dashes)
