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

Take a moment to appreciate the magic of trade. A free trade is when two parties make an exchange because they both want to, and both wind up better off. Yes, fraud, coercion, and externalities exist, but the vast majority of exchanges are unregretted and positive sum.

“The reason most public transportation is seen as ‘losing’ money is precisely because it charges for trips. If you don't charge fares, suddenly it can't ‘lose’ money. It just costs money, the same as the roads.”

This random comment has given me my new favourite argument for removing fares from public transit.

I did it! I now have a kubernetes cluster!

Here is the config for bird.makeup, for those curious: git.sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeu

I'll see how it behaves in the next week or so, and then I'll start consolidating the various servers I have to it.

Also it's only in web server mode, it doesn't crawl yet. I will use the ordinal of the statefulset as the shard ID to enable crawling. Right now it has to be manually set per node

I'm so excited to share Mastopoet, a tool made by @raikas that allows you to capture Mastodon posts as beautiful images and share them across the Internet. This makes posts much more eye-catching in other social medias for instance. :bunhdheart:

Use the tool: mastopoet.ohjelmoi.fi/

Browse the source code: github.com/raikasdev/mastopoet

Mastopoet supports #MastodonBirdUI and options to show metrics in textual or icons or hide them completely.

Please note: If you use this tool to share toots, remember to copy the post text as alt text, thank you!
