@p @fwc @i Yes, the real issue is the stupidly long version string with useless info, but I was thinking more in terms of UX than bandwidth. Truncating a version string at max chars looks weird in the UI, at least to me. That's how I got 50. It fits the stupid string, isn't that far from its length and also isn't as big as 64.

Another doable option would be to strip out the four digit number as I don't even know it's puprose, and only leave Pleroma Version-Commit-Branch.

My version string: Pleroma 2.9.1-480-g213b01a1-fluffytail-dev, is 42 characters for example.
