Me: “uughh I wish Go had code generation macros, I need to do a whole pile of tedious implementations”

Also me: “Wait, I have an idea. Hold my beer!”

@evan how could you resist the urge to use 🅰️🅱️🆎🅾️ for the options?!

The nice thing about being one’s own ISP is that when someone else fucks up their network and congests one of their links so bad the roundtrip latency goes up by 200ms, you can just write your own fucked up BGP traffice engineering filter rules to route around the congestion

I like how the breakdown of law enforcement requests sent to RIPE is basically

• 189 requests where the answer was “use whois and ask the people that returns”
• 7 requests where the answer was “use whois”
• 1 request where the answer was “use another bit of our public database”
• 3 where the answer was “this is entirely outside of our remit wtf”

@vyr @tobi You run the TypeScript compiler on the codebase and it throws a few thousand typing errors (but compiles anyway??)

The frontend in particular seems to be a tangled pile of soup.

And most of the forks are hard-forks of Misskey 12 so they can’t just pull things from upstream; everything has to be done from scratch, and the few developers with experience on the codebase are spread across four projects these days.
