@gme There will be untold amounts of regret the day Github, for example, goes offline permanently and people realize they can no longer build their own software because they don't technically have all the source code for their application on their servers and the build process *requires* information from a third party website.

@gme Yep, I'm a FreeBSD ports developer // on the core (portmgr) team.
I've spent the afternoon trying to package something (Go+Rust) that has so many layers deep in the developer's build framework of expecting to be able to fetch data from the internet and from Github/Crates.io that there's clearly no end in sight.
Proper cleanroom build environments like FreeBSD uses for packaging requires everything be provided with the application source code and no internet access be available during build time.
Sadly this is completely incompatible with modern workflows. You end up chasing down thousands of dependencies by hand, trying to get them all in the right place for the build, and just when you think you've solved the problem the build process runs a command that expects to be able to query a website.
Fucking insanity, man.

I think we've lost the battle of package management. I don't see how we can dig ourselves out of this hole. Rust, Node, Go, Python, Elixir, Ruby... Everything rolled their own package management, virtual environments, the ability to pin/lock to specific versions of code. All of this is wholly incompatible with traditional package management.
The battle is over. The next generation of programmers reinvented the wheel and it's full of razorblades. I think we should focus our resources on containing this mess with jails/containers. There's no other viable solution. It's our grim reality now.

TODO: Build out a docker image of Mastodon with built-in harassment and spam bots. Include the Gandi CLI tools for automating domain purchasing and deployment. Wrap this all up in an Ansible role so Mastodon can be weaponized to the point where the Fediverise is not safe unless everyone uses a *whitelist* of instances.
Oh why bother, they'll still complain that @lain isn't doing enough and eugen will forever be their prophet of safety and inclusiveness.

@lain On my fairly beefy hardware I was seeing ~10-15 seconds for every 10k activities that needed to be modified. Not too bad. I have been on here for about 6 months and had 350,000 activities. Under 10 minutes to do the migration.
It's possible this could go faster if you increased your work_mem in Postgres up from the default 4MB to ... maybe 8MB? But you might not want to keep that permanently as you will see much higher memory usage.

@kaniini @oreolek @vertigo also, "googler" sounds like a slang term for a sexual predator. Nobody wants that.

STARTTLS is dead. It should have never been invented. FastMail was right in never supporting it.
Stop using STARTTLS and email on ports 143 and 587. Use proper TLS encrypted connections on 465 and 993

@mulander The FreeBSD port/package is also building with system libraries. I will ask him if he wants me to delete our package too. π€

If you made a modern Schoolhouse Rock cartoon about how a bill becomes a law it would use the analogy of a lawmaker opening up a pull request on Github and the maintainers refusing to consider your changes unless you agreed to include additional code changes that spies on the users or prevents the software from working reliably for minorities and women.

@kaniini you really think you're going to retrain everyone in America's Rust Belt to do that? Get real!
