Why is Google Groups "Collaborative Inbox" *SO BAD*? It feels like a summer intern project that was abandoned 10 years ago.

@LWN Today I realized that there's more than one person named "Dave Miller" and this particular Dave Miller (justdave) is not the same as David S. Miller (davem).

I did a lot of tweaking and then a lot of untweaking to social.k.o database and elixir backends this morning. Hopefully, this had a net positive result -- many queries are a lot faster now.
Sorry if you had a rough ride in the past few hours. #meta

Apparently, running some of the "database maintenance tasks" can seriously peg pleroma's database backend. I think I managed to fix most of the problems that caused. Sorry if you've been getting 500 errors.

@captainepoch well, something like 60% of all Canadians are either immigrants or children of immigrants. :)

@captainepoch how pedantic do you want? :)
"wrote something bad" — you probably want "wrote something wrong," otherwise you're saying you wrote something naughty or morally objectionable.
"Incorrect" should really be "incorrectly", but both are common in daily usage now.
Otherwise, you're doing pretty well. English is also not my native language, but I've been speaking it as my first language for most of my life now.

@luis_in_brief what are "tweets"? :)
I don't think switching from Mastodon to Akkoma is a sane suggestion to make, unfortunately. It's really more of a "replace Debian with Alpine" kind of action.

masto meta newb question

@luis_in_brief this won't help you, so I'm just mentioning this as an aside in case some else comes across this and finds useful. :)
Akkoma.social has a concept of "bubbles" where you can add the public timeline of another instance to be sourced into your local "bubble" — so hopefully this concept will be implemented in other fediverse software at some point as well.

I didn't end up releasing b4-0.11 today, since I ended up rewriting some hurky code in it and it needs to go for another round of testing.
Hopefully, 0.11 will be out on Tuesday.

Oh, and most purported "life hacks" are actually "life hurks."
Except the ones about rolling up your laundry. So satisfying.

Sometimes you write a piece of code that is "hacky," but kinda clever. Well done.
Other times, you write a piece of code that is both a nasty hack and really quite terrible to look at. That code isn't just hacky, it's downright "hurky." It's called that, because that's the sound you make at the back of your throat when you look at it.
I may be the only person who says "hurky," but now you can start saying that, too.
You're welcome.
(Hopefully in the context of fixing hurky code, not writing it.)

@GossiTheDog I'm far from asking you to delete anything, but after reading it, I must say that I'm surprised you chose to write it. If I didn't know who you were, I would have expected this to have been a "both sides are to blame in this conflict" RT hit piece.
In the reality where the aggressor is committing daily war crimes by shelling civilian infrastructure, done in the hopes that the resulting humanitarian crisis will DoS Europe with refugees -- real living, breathing, suffering human beings whose livelihoods have been destroyed and entire lives upturned -- pointing accusing fingers at Github for hosting code that can be used to DoS some of the banks used to finance those war crimes... is rather tone deaf. Sorry.

@toke let me know if the changes I pushed to the config helped at all.

@jbowen yes, I should probably move it to lists.linux.dev. The current location is a bit of a long story, but I think going to linux.kernel.org should send you to the list page with subscription instructions.

b4 v0.11 should be out by the end of the week. There are improvements and new features for both maintainers and contributors, so if you're a regular user of b4, I would appreciate if you try the latest master.

@jmorris It's supposed to become easier with the next major pleroma release. Moving accounts is one of those Mastodon API things, so it's not part of the activitypub protocol -- which is why it's lagging in implementation.
