I do sincerely enjoy that this account is an unapologetically chaotic mix of serious (and non serious) programming, trans literature, and general other transposting.

Finished Welcome to Dorley Hall on day 2**8 🥳
next up, Dorley 2 and the run to a 300 day streak. Predicting I’ll get close to a year after getting caught up on Dorley.

one would hope that moderation discourse calms down once Bluesky stop doing PDS repo takedowns (apart from illegal content) and stick to labels so we can actually verify posts in context, but it won’t, will it.

I'm going to buy a Steam Frame so goddamn quickly* but I hope someone makes a rechargable battery pack for the controllers because I don't want a repeat of the Rift S battery situation
*unless they're unreasonably expensive

I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate.
That's why they hate it.

okay I have reindexed just shy of 100k non-bsky/self-hosted/bridgy accounts (!) onto my desktop machine and bashed out several bugs in the process (including some embarrassing ones).
next up, timelines and probably general optimisation work

TURNS OUT, the dodgy SSD is not just dodgy on macOS - it's now failing in a very similar way under linux/btrfs. going to try checking for a firmware update under windows, I think

having built a copy of parakeet on my other machine today, I must say that I understand the appeal of nix. getting the env set up takes *wayy* too long.

about ready to throw hands with the utter pillock at apple that decided this was a sensible format for the export.
almost like they don’t want you to use this data for anything…

there’s a file with listen history to a daily lvl (kinda hourly but not really*) so I think imma link into that to smooth the data out (and I’ll get track ID that way too - for unknown reasons, activity doesn’t contain any unique media ID)
*a row for song, date + list of hours that song was played.

quick update time:
- getPostThreadV2 now works!
- post, postgate, threadgate improvements are in, including threadgates that actually work
Coming up:
- currently tracking down an annoying car repo issue that (may) be my naive code
- maybe profiling if I can get Grafana back up?
- getPostThreadV2 now works!
- post, postgate, threadgate improvements are in, including threadgates that actually work

OoO for a week, but here's a progress update:
- viewer states merged
- new profile fields done
- pinned posts done
- kicked off some improvements on posts and threading: getAuthorFeed doesn't quite work the same as bsky currently, and I could do with tweaks before getPostThreadV2 and notifs...

once I get closer to the ‘small’ big-network instance I’ll use it more, probably.
since I’ve kept todos here previously:
- currently doing viewer states (am I blocking/muting/following/liking etc)
- next: getPostThreadV2: return of the upside down threads
- search?
- notifs?
- timelines?

I now have a 340MB activity file which I need to do a massive data cleansing operation on.
When I heard it stores listen history, I didn't think it'd store all play/pause history too - so you end up with this mess when it started, was paused, was unpaused, then finished.

hate that .net costs just shy of £40 - my annual domain expenditure is _already_ £50 (parakeet.at is also £40 annoyingly). need another so I can get total £100 over with.

if i had a penny for every time I've seen a post from this account on my other account's timeline, i'd have two pennies, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
