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

@zvava@twtxt.net The problem you now then is you lose integrity of the message content if you compute the hashes at runtime rather than on the way in. So if your message content or database becomes corrupt in any way, so do your hashes.
