@m0bi13 Yeah I don’t either. I was thinking of using it for an expendable CDN-like use case.
Has anyone played with the oracle cloud free tier here? Any good or bad experiences?
@booots Yeah I've been optimizing things every weekend, but it's been a race between that and people starting using it! But I should start winning that race again soon
In 99.9% of cases I don't recommend running your own bird.makeup instance, as it increase the moderation workload across the fediverse
So I've been scratching my head for a few days optimizing bird.makeup, and it turns out I've been setting an environment variable with ParallelFediverseRequests when it should have been with ParallelFediversePosts...
Programming is sometime... yeah...

@ericdere I spent time every weekend making the service faster but people keep using it more and more which slows it down… I have many ideas I want to implement, but I won’t have time for a few days

The SEC going after Justin Sun and TRX for market manipulation is just *chef kiss*. https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-59
Researchers monitoring the Twitter bot space noted, correctly, that TRON-themed bots were unbelievably, unimaginably prolific from 2018 onwards. We spent a massive amount of time building detections to shut it down — and it would just keep coming back. Major portions of all spam globally on Twitter, for months at a time, was just dedicated to hyping Sun and TRX.

@1 Not sure, I know it works from mastodon, pleroma and misskey, but I know it has problems with Pixelfed. I don’t know about akkoma
@chriswheatley@mastodonapp.uk @paul try to follow any of them back and if you can’t, your server has blocked bird.makeup
@drewdevault@fosstodon.org private repos being for paid accounts only is not a bad model!

It is funny to see some very large accounts that have been consistently anti-crypto, move seamlessly into fudding ChatGPT.
Clearly there is a spectrum of human responses in terms of openness to novelty.
The same ofc applies to us. We are more open than average to new ideas.

how it feels to talk about #activitypub and how #fedi implements it

Any experienced programmer worth their salt will tell you that •producing• code — learning syntax, finding examples, combining them, adding behaviors, adding complexity — is the •easy• part of programming.
The hard part: “How can it break? How will it surprise us? How will it change? Does it •really• accomplish our goal? What •is• our goal? Are we all even imagining the same goal? Do we understand each other? Will the next person to work on this understand it? Should we even build this?”
I think I figured it out, currently sending backlogged tweets!
bird.makeup is having some trouble with the current load. Looking into it!
@linuxgamingcentral@mastodon.social oh nice! Didn’t have to wait long for this
