@marcan Is there any hope of getting Linus himself involved in this? I mean he has switched to an Apple laptop because of your work...
@VoiceofDuum None at all! He gets no ad impression, no data and no revenue from this
@paisley_peinforte @awilbert Mastodon.social bans all twitter replicators by policy, you'll have to move server if you really want to use any of those.

12 months ago, I was Person of the Year
@smallsco @BirdsiteLIVE @DevWouter I think I figured it out, try doing a docker pull to see how it behaves
@BirdsiteLIVE @DevWouter @smallsco Okay so the npgsql thing was not it at all. It's actually that TransformBlock will actually buffer data if you don't bound them.
See the commit that fixed it for me : https://git.sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/commit/5c75e79abc3cf377da4dbbe369a156ae9c3b890a

There's a ton of really interesting tech detail in this recent Amazon Science publication. Check it out to learn how Amazon Redshift *really* works

I wanted to summarize what is known about the new XBB.1.5 variant of SARS-CoV-2, which is starting to generate a lot of interest.
(There are no new scientific results in this thread, it simply aggregates previously reported results for those not following topic closely.)

bird.makeup feels too good to be true. I'm using it to pipe in news sources that aren't on Mastodon yet, so that's one less need for me to be on Twitter. Thanks to @vincent for providing this excellent service.

This lighthouse is SO UNIQUE! It's called Þrídrangar, which means "three rock pillars". It is located 4.5 miles (7.2 kilometres) off the southwest coast of Iceland, in the archipelago of Vestmannaeyjar, often described as the most isolated lighthouse in the world. The lighthouse was built there in 1939.
It's such a INCREDIBLE location for a lighthouse, perched on a rock in Iceland's wild surf. Originally constructed and accessible only by scaling the rock on which it is situated, it is now accessible by helicopter since the construction of a helipad.

@florianoverkamp Thanks! Yeah there is some cases of tweets (like QT, etc) that are not replicated properly. That's probably what I'm going to improve next now that performance is okay
@gloriousnoise @grpress Try unfollowing and following again, but yeah it's probably your instance that is doing something funky

All computer software published in 1927 and earlier is now fully public domain, abandonware or not.
Looks like all the time I spent this week optimising bird.makeup was useful: we managed to hit the performance target of processing every account at least once every hour.
3749 twitter accounts followed by 1985 fediverse users, and with so much space to grow now!
@sandhu mastodon.social banned bird.makeup. They have a policy that doesn't allow forwarders from other networks
@smallsco No problem! I just did the most frequent queries, so it's still leaking, just way more slowly
We just crossed 1900 users on bird.makeup 😲
Really excited about how far I can take this project this year!
@DevWouter @smallsco Thanks for the compliment! But the credit goes to @BirdsiteLIVE .
I think I figured it out. I took a memory dump, and noticed large allocation related to SQL queries. When I removed Dapper and used vanilla npgsql the problem when away. It's really not obvious to me what was happening there, but it might be related to your number 1
