/_matrix/media/r0/download/im_a/teapot now returns a picture of the Utah Teapot, with http status 418

And now you just get a proper error when trying to thumbnail an unsupported file (like a .txt lol), instead of crashing the server with an uncaught error :")

writing a bot that replies to any "is it nap time yet?" toots with "yes, always! have a good nap!"

I ❤️ well made npm libraries, `sharp` accepts both buffers and streams (directly from a remote media proxy), and JUST WORKS

double sided hook-and-loop 'tape' is truly the best invention since sliced bread

think I'll set up a test synapse-media-proxy soon(tm) but I'd accompany it with a testing synapse instance too, think NixOS should make it real easy to get that part up and running quick, and then I can get some real-world speedtests by just throwing test media links around :P

Monday though i suppose... i should really learn at least a bit for that fuckin midterm first
