ooh the Server-Timings header is a great use-case for trailers (as opposed to headers), going to experiment with this a bit

this is running in development mode, but on my homeserver which is considerably more beefy than the vps it will run on (because faster network will be more beneficial overall)

used a postgres query to find the most replied to toots (and thus hopefully largest threads) on this Mastodon instance

Happy to see my re-ordering algorithm for proper threading, and my rendering still handles them really well. Only the very largest thread took a bit more than a millisecond, everything else is <0.3 ms

Mastodon takes multiple seconds on the /context responses though yikes. Really happy with my stale double-rendering approach so you still get to see content almost instantly, while it's waiting for verification from the Mastodon server that the data is still up-to-date

meds oops 

turns out methylphenidate doesn't do much if you just leave it on your desk instead of taking it

has anyone ever done mood analysis on lastfm/librefm feeds? i dont have one but it'd be so easy to see when I'm not feeling great based on music choice lol

@tobi nothing a whole bunch of stimulants can't fix (i hope)

@jonny i guess? but we already have *two* config flags that are supposed to disallow public, unauthorized api access, so why does gargamel keep punching holes in them

@landley@mstdn.jp @Are0h what? it's about taking an active approach to moderation, so if you get a report/fediblock for one instance, see which other shitty servers they're buddy-buddy with and block those too, even though you haven't received explicit reports for *their* content yet.

you don't need reports to recognize people being shitty, i hope

time and time again these marketing-brained decisions are prioritized over user privacy and safety

Informed consent? Never heard of it!

but uhh, number go up, so surely everyone wants to publicly expose more data, even with `AUTHORIZED_FETCH` and `DISALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_API_ACCESS`

re: masto/hometown feature reminder 

@noyovo@rage.love yeah, mainline mastodon and thus glitch-soc has it too

@Are0h they just keep putting out rakes and stepping on them then somehow blaming you, revealing they stepped on their own rakes in the process :")

Idk man, sometimes I don't bother reporting accounts because I take one look at the rules on the instance and it's just barebones as fuck or I see that they federate with just the most awful people and they just decide they don't wanna block these people,,,

And I just don't bother, because it doesn't give me confidence that the user is going to get taken care of, it's better to outright nuke the entire thing instead of waiting for a mod team that will probably handwave the report.

So THATS why sometimes y'all don't receive reports from anyone. They're probably being absolutely cautious because you and your mods won't take the shit seriously.

It is what it is 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

I can't afford to wait for disappointment
