it's kinda bizarre I can render full pages with content faster than Mastodon can serve a useless static page that delegates everything to the client

holy shit mastodon api performance goes down the drain when you start federating with even a few more instances

Mastodon's threading order is weird, and doesn't mesh well with my indenting logic. Unfortunate cause that means I'll have to sort shit into a better tree myself :\

The most real detail in Avatar was how Sigourney Weaver's avatar had a giant Stanford t-shirt on. They don't make those for 12 foot tall people, so she had to have that custom made. And that's exactly something someone who went to a "top" school would do, they just have to tell people, even when they're in a giant alien body.

ah yes, why of course wouldn't you have two entirely separate ratelimiting mechanisms

Show thread

stripping out / raising the ratelimits is also proving to be fucking impossible. i hate this codebase

Show thread

ah wtf of course Mastodon ETags are useless, your ratelimit still goes down

I return my fully rendered page (streamed so you see partial content even sooner) in 75ms and the mastodon static base html already takes 125ms to load!?!??

Show thread

actually Mastodon is so much slower still, because that's just a single fuckin static html page and then the client has to do all the REST still

Show thread

without that, more than twice the amount of requests/second though compared to mastodon's own frontend

Show thread

tried a webserver performance benchmark while I still had 2x 1500ms artificial latency enabled :")

domain block wildcarding now in gotosocial 👀 (thanks for reviewing + merging + fixing the weird pipeline issues @tobi) https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/pull/1178

At some point a desire to minimize "drama" acquires all of the repressive and intrinsically conservative qualities of calls to "leave politics out of it" --

Not a fan of "drama" myself, but ignoring politics isn't a luxury I can afford. And what is drama is often at root political and what is political is nearly always ... dramatic.

fediblock for a single user with a billion alts 

#fediblock tallship @ too many instances to name

this dude has alts all over the place (literally like 15+), and he uses them to insinuate himself into open source + activitypub development as much as possible, post absolutely unhinged right-wing, bootlicking, anti-immigration rants, and boost himself from his own alts

if you're a masto admin, i recommend searching for the username 'tallship' in your moderation interface, and suspending every alt you see

you might also find it beneficial to suspend domains that host that dude, since they tend to be undermoderated 'free speech' places (aka sources of hate speech)

thought I'd put some coffee cans (yeah they're cursed) in the fridge, but they're actually more than cold enough to drink at (this) room temperature 😬 😬

re: uni 

ah double checked and it was confusingly marked on the exam program excel sheet they mailed last year, but it's not in my actual exam program (and the other course's credits add up to the correct amount) so pretty sure it's all good

uni 

haha not me having signed up for electives a week ago but now panickly realizing I might have to take a specific mandatory elective because they did a switcharoo on our BSc cources. Guess i'll need another study advisor visit today
