@dodoandthebrawn @aidasb What is that? I could maybe reuse their approach

@eg the cat in question

Looks like Twitter has removed the endpoint bird.makeup was using to fetch profiles...

I'll do another reverse engineering round to figure out another way

Just hooked up bird.makeup to tracing software for the first time and it's really fascinating!

For exemple, this is an histogram of how fast Twitter answers queries for recent posts by an account.

Look how slow it is! There are a few speedy one at 50~ms, but most are >300ms, which would indicate that they are not cached.

I would have thought it was the other way around, most accounts cached a few that have posted recently that are not cached

@gendor if you are into open hardware, there is this thing that is interesting: https://www.pine64.org/pinenote/

Not sure how far along the software is though

@experiencer @FediThing seems to be! Thanks!

I'm testing stuff regarding authorized_fetch, but I would need a mastodon server that has it turned on. Know any?

@RL_Dane I’m using Odoo for my business and I’m quite happy with it. It’s open core though

@raphael Then just do it! It will probably break stuff, but I will fix those things when they break, and bird.makeup will be more resilient as a result 😁

@raphael One simple heuristic that would prevent bird.makeup from going down with the load is a heuristic in your project that would only auto-import accounts that have let's say 100k+ followers, that would avoid creating a long tail of proxy
