I'm trying out a script by @tateisu that deletes unreferenced remote toots from the Mastodon database. Seems to amount to about 10-11% of all toots for both of us. On one hand, it's great that there is so little junk, on the other hand, cleaning up such a small number is disappointingly not a game changer.

What would be a fair rate limit for toot deletions?

Current limit of 300 per 5 minutes is too high, because of the performance cost of a deletion. Some third party tools for mass deletions do not pace themselves adequately and cause issues, so I believe this must be enforced at API level.

@mayaeh One question is, is the nginx configured to have proxy_caching as in dist/nginx.conf example?

Eugene cat photograph artillery is it again

The plan is to backport some of the fixes from the master branch into a 2.7.2 release to get the small bugs out of the way quickly #mastodev

Just to update on this, I have found the person to do it thanks to this thread, no further applications are necessary.

From all of these YouTube videos I get the feeling Devin Townsend is really uncertain about how the upcoming Empath album is going to go, and it makes me worried too

After many people asked Keybase to support Mastodon profiles, Keybase has designed an API to allow more platforms on their service, and prepared a demo patch for how it could work with Mastodon.

To avoid a conflict of interest, I have asked Keybase to stop their Patreon pledge to Mastodon, refunded all of their pledges so far (the $200/mo for your logo on joinmastodon.org tier), and removed their logo from joinmastodon.org

Looking into whether it's possible to replace babel with swc to improve the speed of webpack compilations. swc is written in #rustlang and claims to be 16x faster. It's not a simple drop-in, sadly, because swc is missing some features we use via babel plugins, but the dev said they're interested in getting it to work

If they made an anime about Unarist I would watch it :unarist:

Trying to remember the name of this Japanese movie that was set in an East Asian country I can't remember, about a Japanese guy who used to be a criminal, who meets this girl and starts helping her around the house. I think the film was named after a book that appeared in it. I thought it was The Last Dinosaur but that's not it. Anyone know?

@rinsuki I have looked over some benchmarks and Rust seems to come above Go and Crystal in terms of memory consumption. Considering that I am not proficient in any of those languages myself, I picked the most promising in terms of performance.

Any #rustlang devs interested in porting the Mastodon streaming API from Node.js to Rust?

We would likely not be able to abandon the Node.js version completely for portability's sake, but there is no reason not to have a more performant drop-in for those who can install it.

The Node.js version consumes about 1GB of RAM for 21k connections.
