If there a name for those of us who dislike AI generated imagery, or for the dislike of AI generated imagery in general? A composite German word would do! :-)

In-reply-to » What the hell is happening in South Korea?

@prologic@twtxt.net the South Korean president is facing impeachment. The president declared martial law to protect the country from North Korea and eliminate anti-state elements. However, the declaration was seen as a response to domestic pressure and scandals. MPs blocked the declaration and forced the president to reverse his decision. The president’s defense minister resigned and the president is now facing impeachment proceedings.

Problem 2: Your SSD-backed database has a usage-pattern that rewards you with a 80% page-cache hit-rate (i.e. 80% of disk reads are served directly out of memory instead of going to the SSD). The median is 50 distinct disk pages for a query to gather its query results (e.g. InnoDB pages in MySQL). What is the expected average query time from your database?

Share your solution via Twtxt and how you arrived at it and I’ll share my solution tomorrow!

In-reply-to » @bender Well, so far, I’m using the standard web client. Haven’t found a great client yet. 🫤 Mastodon/Fediverse is also very different from twtxt, there are way more images/videos that I’d like to see – a TUI client like toot wouldn’t work for me.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com ah, yes! The thing is, I have too many broken pieces already. 🤭

@bender@twtxt.net there’s Pub too but is still experimental I think …

Warning: pub is still in development, if it breaks, you can keep the pieces.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Mastodon offers the “deluxe” experience, but it is a resource hungry beast, that can also be feeble as hell. I miss it, a lot, but am running GoToSocial instead because of its simplicity, and nimbleness.

Also interesting:

edit_hash: When a message is edited, a new message is created– this field holds the hash of the modified message. The client follows the chain of edit hashes to end up at the final, edited message to display. This lets us keep an “undo” history (not yet implemented) and is a marker so the client can display a marker that the message has been edited.

@bender@twtxt.net Thanks! Also very interesting rid bits here 🤣

The author, parent hash, timestamp, and message values go into the hash. (see Message Hash for details)

Worth noting that this is a local “forum”. BBJ uses an SQLite database.

@prologic@twtxt.net there is a bit more here: https://github.com/Calamitous/iris/blob/master/README.md#technical-bits. Of course, you could take a peek at the .rb file itself: https://github.com/Calamitous/iris/blob/master/iris.rb :-P

@skinshafi@thunix.net Cool!

Iris leans heavily on convention. Iris’ security and message authentication is provided by filesystem permissions and message hashing.
