I'm considering an archiving scheme for social.kernel.org that would automatically add all public statuses to a public-inbox archive -- not right away, but maybe after a month or so. This should allow us to remove them from the database while still keeping them publicly accessible. From what I've read elsewhere, pleroma's database backend organization is not great, so after a while they start to experience database performance problems. Removing old entries should allow us to avoid this fate while still preserving the conversation record.

@captainepoch is there a quickie way to filter the timeline to remove replies that aren't to myself or myself+my follows? I find that if I haven't checked my TL for a while it's easier to view it in the browser where I can filter it by these criteria in PleromaFE.

Came across a mention of "IIS" in some old docs and had some terrible flashbacks from 2000s.

Hey, Amazon -- if you still want to release Amazon Linux 2022, you're kinda starting to run out of 2022.

Today's annoyance: a subtly difference behaviour from a library when some underlying library happens to be absent. From the debugging perspective it looks like I have the same version of python and python-requests, and yet on one the same piece of code is failing, and on another it's passing. Apparently, when python-simplejson is present, requests will use it, but when it isn't, it will use the standard json library (and crash when encountering a json value that is bytes as opposed to str).

Any guesses what "Linux 0.64 or lower" could possibly be?

If you have a kernel.org account, you can set your webfinger by using:

ssh git@gitolite.kernel.org social set @your@social.example.foo

This will let people find your fediverse account by searching for β€œ@yourusername@kernel.orgβ€œ.

Use β€œsocial helpβ€œ to see other commands.

Proper documentation forthcoming and will be on korg.docs.kernel.org once done.

Another webfinger test. I typed '@ wagi @ kernel.org' below:

@wagi

It should have been replaced with the proper destination.

Got basic webfinger magic working -- with manually entered data for now. For example, try searching in your instance for: @mricon@kernel.org, @olof, @kees.

They should all resolve to their respective fediverse instances (and I wonder if it will do the right thing from this status post as well?).
