Small tweak on bird.makeup to better display what to expect performance-wise

Thinking about making another fediverse replicator like bird.makeup but for Instagram. It could be nice especially with @pixelfed clients that support stories.

Scrapping Instagram is waaaaay harder than Twitter though.

@drewdevault@fosstodon.org You should put a link to https://status.sr.ht/ in your nginx error page! Could be helpful

@adamwulf Yeah that graph is pretty meaningless, I'll change it to something else soon

@gpollara @awilbert @wspd7pio That's also already there! On the mastodon web UI, if you click on the timestamp of a replicated tweet, it will take you to the original

Happy to report that as we are about to hit 3.1k users on bird.makeup, the latest round of optimizations I did brought down the time it takes to iterate through all twitter users from ~1.5 hours to ~35 minutes.

Onwards!

I wonder how much more scalable the fediverse could be if we were sending around protobuf instead of JSON

@ticktok @phildoherty It's true that it might be worth it just for Elden Ring...

It's also true that it's probably going to take them years to release a new model...

I think you both convinced me to get one 😇

@gpollara @awilbert @wspd7pio Thank you! You can simply unfollow a user, and if you are the last one to follow, it will be deleted

Thinking about buying a Steam Deck, but maybe I should wait for a v2 with an OLED screen, since I already have a switch.... Any owners here of both systems with thoughts about it?

We are now at 2763 users on bird.makeup and it takes an hour and a half to iterate through all twitter accounts. I guess it's time to start optimizing again!
