@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Turns out, this is a bug in my config to cache synchronization. Nickname changes in the configuration file are just not synced to the cache at startup if the feed URL already exists in the cache. I must have fixed this typo in my config ages ago, because I don’t even recall having that spelling mistake to begin with. Yet, the cache was happily showing the erroneous nickname. Composing a reply automatically adds the mentions from the conversation participants. Everything originates from the cache, so, I successfully poissoned my replies.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Dang it, my apologies for butchering your nick, mate! :-( Unbelievable, that I did not notice this in all those months. But it’s great to trade mention errors. :-)

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5x Review: The Best Laptop Under $1,000
Lenovo’s IdeaPad Slim 5x just might be the best laptop you can buy for $850. It’s hard to find any major flaws, which is basically unheard of in a laptop at this price. ⌘ Read more

Actually, I’m stupid: I’m using the normal rsync on OpenBSD as well.

And regarding OpenRsync’s general usability:

https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=178090751524547&w=2

Right now openrsync is limited in functionality and is primarily present
for rpki-client. The limited functionality makes it unusable for generic
use and so any diff or change like the above will not be considered since it
is simply not ready.

First problem to solve is to remove the mmap usage in openrsync. After
that modern protocol versions need to be added. Once that is in place one
can start a discussion about using openrsync as a default on OpenBSD.

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com I just want to let you know that your mention completion seems to be broken. :-) The URL is duplicated with a comma in between. Actually, the protocols differ. I suspect that you extract all url metadata fields from the feed, not only the canonical one used for hashing (the first one) and join them. I’m not completely sure, I would need to read up on the specs (it’s already past bed o’clock, though), but I guess that there is no explicit rule for picking the mention URL. Without having thought about it too much, I reckon the safest bet is to stick to the hashing URL when in doubt and the URL that was used to subscribe to the feed is not available for whatever reason. The URL from the subscription list is probably even better.
