In-reply-to » Ending three luxurious do-what-I-please weeks; tomorrow is back to work. What do you all do during your break (and this assumes you had one, even if short)? I mostly did nothing, which in itself was truly something! So much, I long to do it all over again. A man can dream, right? Haha!

I basically worked through the Christmas break last year. I already had my holidays in Vietnam a few weeks earlier. 😆

In-reply-to » With RAM crazy prices being what they are, I guess my PC is gonna be stuck on 16GB RAM for some time. I originally bought the DDR4 16GB kit for like $49 AUD, and I thought I'd just buy another 16GB or more later down the track (this was like a year and a half ago), thinking it would be similarly priced or even cheaper...

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yep sounds about right 🤔

Boy was that a mistake in hindsight LOL. The same kit is like $229 AUD now….

In-reply-to » very good blog post that reminded me why it's taking so long to ship bbycll — previously i had computed the hashes of every post before storing them in the database, after realizing it's a much better idea to compute the hashes during runtime and only store the post content & timestamp i'm now having to rewrite every function that reads & writes data. i hope the reason as to why i lost motivation is obvious — thankfully i caught it early enough so that once i'm done rewriting just those functions i should™ be able to finalize 1.0-rc with little hassle

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org while caching those is a good idea the problem is baking data that can be calculated into the database instead of some cache, because post hashes are not fixed and change for every post edit. you can always easily look up other twts by hash with a cached lookup table, but now you’re not locked into them so supporting hashv2 or other hash variants or any other solution becomes far easier

Awk to take lines from Plan 9’s /lib/unicode and prepend the actual glyph and a tab: awk ‘{cmd=sprintf(“unicode %s”, $1); cmd | getline c; printf(“%s %s\n”, c, $0)}’

i’ve learned a lot of lessons from writing my notes app, gonna apply this to bbycll and refactor the code to make it way more legible cause my custom templating system is only kind of a giant mess

In-reply-to » @bender yeah, I've been reading through the documentation last night and it felt overwhelming for a minute... +1 point goes to GTS's docs. but hey, I'll be taking the easy route: podman-compose up -d they provide both a container image and an example compose file in a separate git repo but I'm wondering why that is not mentioned anywhere in the docs, (unless it is and I haven't seen it yet)

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com not to mention you wouldn’t be able to, anyway (if you’re going to use the same domain between backends)

In-reply-to » I'm contemplating the idea of switching my activity pub instance from Gootosocial to a Pleroma one. While GTS is kinda cute (lightweight and easy to manage) of a software, the inability to fetch/scroll through people's past toots when visiting a profile or having access to a federated timeline and a proper search functionality ...etc felt like handicap for the past N months.
