@tcql :cofepats:

so, now that the toot-lab is no longer ejecting me from the front door, imma head to bed.

be good to you and be good to those who are good for you

:blobpats:

@er1n I think rustodon will be better due to the exercise because brains are silly :blobpats:

and this thing where dev toolchains end up as an integral part of the production administration of the software for a project is kind of pants for anyone who isn't a developer and we should probably account for that at some point and on some level.

I will point out that most of the issues I generally have upgrading the toot-lab are entirely due to my own heckery. it is not a very heckery frendy codebase.

@chr here's your sledgehammer

@KitRedgrave @chr ooh a fancy caching proxy!

after many dead ends, crossed streams, rebases and resets and hard force megapunches to no fewer than three separate remotes, I realized I needed the smooth smoky blessing of inspiration from codemom, who would totally suggest that I check with kibi, who'd want to know the middle most line of the error, which pointed to a file that was requiring something that yarn hadn't yet installed so I asked yarn to install it and yarn told me to gtfo unless I asked for it to install it instead, there was a memo and I probably should have read it I guess but I don't want to be a yarn user really so, anyway, I asked yarn to install it and recompiled the heckin assets for the forty-seventh time tonight and lo and behold I could access most of the UI again.

so, if you run into ui issues, smoke a canadian cigarette blessed by a glitchwitch, have a think with the thinking cap of another glitchwitch, and then swing a sledgehammer to and from and everything will work out just fine.

thank whoever it is you thank for random non-occurences that you were not part of the heckery I performed on the toot-lab tonight

:blobpats:

Ahhhhh, better.

@ajroach42 am considering reinstalling the operating system at this stage

@bea alas it is too late i already have that

ActionView::Template::Error: Webpacker can't find application.css in /home/mastodon/live/public/packs/manifest.json

being held hostage by a webpacker that is mostly unnecessary for my use case anyway but so it goes

the assets, they be stylin & precompilin
