Before you ask, we'll be moving things over to RHEL 9 Very Soon Now (TM). It just required a lot of yaks to be shaved, and thankfully most of them are now looking pretty smooth. And likely very cold, because there's probably a good reason why yaks need all that fur.

If you're wondering why you can't follow society.oftrolls.com accounts from social.k.o, it's because we can't actually talk to them -- we can only do TLS1.2 maximum due to still being on RHEL7 for a little while longer, and they only allow TLS1.3.

My plan is to migrate my personal instance (castoranxieux.ca) to Akkoma some time this week. Should be fun, and I'm liking the concept of bubbles.

I know that Pleroma upstream has had... interesting times in the past few months, but I didn't want to go with a fork for social.k.o -- at least not yet. We'll see how Akkoma and re:Based are doing over the next few months, and how the upstream is doing. Switching my personal instance to Akkoma seems to be the right way go to in terms of kicking tires.

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?
