@mastohost Ok! Thanks for the info. It sounds like it might be safest to bump up a tier for now and talk to all my users before doing any changes here.

@mastohost Gotcha! So - if I've pulled a backup, it's "safe" to do this in the sense that I have a copy, but unsafe in the sense that the live instance will lose access to those old posts?

@mastohost Hey there! I'm trying to navigate the new web interface (which is really nice, btw! good work). It looks like my DB is HUGE for some reason, 5.18gb. Is there anything I can do on my end to cut that down? There's only like 2 active folks on my instance, so I'm hoping most of that is unnecessary stuff we can do without

@Meyerweb one day a few years ago I clicked on a trailer link and it started with a commercial. After watching it for a minute it dawned on me: I just had to watch a commercial so that I could watch a commercial

Whammageddon is such bullshit. What can we do to take a modern Christmas classic and wrench all the joy from it, convincing everyone to run away from it like little annoying jerks? Cut the shit. Enjoy Wham!.

@polotek My strong hunch was that Altman has been angling to embed OpenAI in a position where it can get sort of an unbounded amount of funding by becoming a government vendor.

I'm guessing that since it seems like Musk just bought his way into the oval office, and has a grudge against Altman, even if my hunch was right, that play might be evaporating.

@moonsea I get why he did it but… yeah. Jfc

@fasterthanlime I think we will but I don’t know how it will shake out. Probably towards those with access to decent chat assistants? But they won’t have any way to get to deeper understanding? It’s a whole different dynamic I guess?

@olafurw categorically, no 😔

UEFI is pronounced “oofy” as everyone knows

@nzakas I think a lot of people will miss the lessons out of that and choose to conclude that it's out of some kind of objectively moral position, as though "reducing friction" and "improving usage for a general audience" are somehow flawed objectives.

@cwebber This was something I was eyeballing signs for, after working with other protocols like Automerge, and other stuff which is designed in part by Martin Kleppmann.

Martin and his work are GREAT, this is not a critique, but I've found that while the naive impl of the protocols solve the problem domain, they leave optimization to the implementor. Which is good! That makes sense. But it means there are always secondary future concerns.

This post talks about it - https://josephg.com/blog/crdts-go-brrr/

Making casual posts with my actual opinion in them and being as nice as I can, but then worrying all day about whether or not I was crappy by accident anyway.

It's weird that I keep doing this given the anxiety surrounding it. I'd probably be happier outside, looking at trees.

Let's leave the ocap stuff to the side for now, then. Let's focus on what Bluesky and the fediverse have to learn from each other.

- The fediverse should adopt content-addressed storage and decentralized identity
- Bluesky should adopt real, actual federation and decentralization

@mookie Harry knows what he did (time crimes)

@raiderrobert wish more people understood this
