@conor pleroma's db scheme is not very good. I think I need to upgrade the instance or increase the query timeouts.

@jwildeboer I think we'll quickly find that the only thing harder than picking a license for your software is picking a TLD for your license. ;)

@jwildeboer I believe doing something like this is prohibitively expensive.

Sure, I guess I'm not doing anything important next week. Can't be that hard.

@_hic_haec_hoc I'm not sure of anything any more. Kids these days should just get off my lawn and let me drink my prune juice in peace.

This program is brought to you by Dunning Krueger cigarettes.

Hello, friend. Have you ever felt like you have a basic understanding of how something works, but want to speak about it with that unmistakable air of authority? Well, just light up a Dunning-Krueger and watch the room fall into rapt silence as they listen to you speak on topics you know little to nothing about.

Dunning-Kruger cigarettes. Light up the room with the glow of authority.

@jbowen Slightly more than that, but not anything beyond setting a few headers that happen to be longer than 75 characters.

@jbowen The funny thing is that's exactly what I'm doing -- sending simple plaintext messages. :)

Oh, look, another bad bug in Python's email module.

https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/100991

I'm starting to think nobody actually tried sending mail with Python until now.

@jani It's the kind of stuff that actually prevents email from getting delivered or results in corrupted patches. So, kinda important to get right, unfortunately.

Ugh, I spent way too much time and effort in the past two days working around bugs in the Python email module. The parsing routines are great, but the number of bugs in message generation code is just wild.

I really shouldn't have to write my own to_bytes() serialization code, and yet this is exactly what I have to do, as bugs are just piling up and sitting in the tracker unaddressed.

@captainepoch yay, it's good to have a single Husky app again. :)

And since we have Akkoma support now, I can maybe schedule that for social.k.o in the near future.

Thanks for all your work!

b4 v0.11.2 is out with some hotfixes. Everyone using v0.10 and v0.11 versions must upgrade. Especially those who like to send and receive 1000+ patch series.

@ljs It susprises me that your docs didn't mention the fact that it will get factory reset. I remember when I was doing something with my older Pixel to get CopperheadOS (before its demise) and it definitely had a large warning about it.
