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.

normal book* length:
*okay just 4 but books aren't usually 1500 pages on this screen.
(I am splitting them up with calibre, books got very upset at some points last time I read Dorley)

yeah I have data on this!
I know about ~70k users (incl bridgy), and it takes up ~70GB (not counting blobs).
the server I have is overkill (although it also runs a relay (4GB for a 72h window) and PLC mirror (110GB)) and costs under 50eur?

oops. guess I'm going back to self-hosting grafana. had a good run though.
(recs wanted for good template dashboards for things like node_exporter, caddy, redis, and postgres bc I suck at building dashboards)

Apparently monthly Rust AppView progress update:
- nearly 20 million repos backfilled - this turned out to be chunkier than even I imagined, consuming just shy of 7TiB*
- Feeds, mutes (mostly), and caching
- Started on getPostThreadV2 (holding for a bit yet) and viewer states
- repo soon (tm)

what if we broke things in new and interesting ways?
(to be clear, this is my code returning everything in reverse order - it *probably shouldn't* break bluesky to do this, but getPostThreadV2 is still beta so it's whatever idc)

spotify why are there NUL bytes in your OpenGraph data?
Firefox is rolling with it but my code is very much not happy.
everything is also insisting this is valid UTF-8 and I am 99% sure it is not.
