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.

Powered by @OpenAI? Absolutely No.
Local-only and fully open source? YES. ✅
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

So @cue announced that Apple has now raked in more than $130 Billion in rent seeking AppStore profits. Other than Swift / iOS, Apple did not need to write a single line of code. 😤 https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/01/apple-celebrates-a-groundbreaking-year-in-entertainment/

The entire world has a stake in the success of Brazil’s democracy. Together, we must reject any effort to overturn or disrupt the will of the Brazilian people and affirm the peaceful transfer of power as a cornerstone of democracy.
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!

Added some new Mastodon monitoring infrastructure for discuss.systems.
Sure, every good #MastoAdmin has a cool Grafana dashboard, but we're going a bit more old school here...
What should I improve next on bird.makeup?
