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

Shoutout to @vincent for developing https://bird.makeup. Things are slow now because of the massive influx in users, but having any Twitter account’s tweets viewable within the fediverse is great. Bridging the gap until those accounts are posting directly here is awesome.

Kdenlive fundraiser news: With only 3 days to go, we need one last push! We need just over 1,400 euros to reach our stretch goal of 20,000 euros.
All proceeds go to #funding development of new features and improving Kdenlive.
@condalmo That could work, thanks! If someone post again, it will break a test, but that looks good enough
Ok I have a weird request to help me build bird.makeup:
Do you know twitter accounts of dead people, ideally famous? They have to not be taken over by someone else too.
I'm using them for integration testing, and I only have kobebryant right now
Anyone working on a equivalent of Yo for the fediverse?
@smallsco Yeah, there is a memory leak somewhere... I'm hunting for it!
In the same vein, I'm thinking of giving priority to the accounts above, so that they are always posting to the fediverse in a timely fashion, at the expense of smaller account.
