@darius @trwnh @jenniferplusplus @thisismissem I think I'd rather "spam" the timeline with a few posts in a row than have users miss those posts forever. Maybe we can increase the interval between posts for backfill to limit "spam", but not having them at all is awful UX for anyone trying to read stuff on the fediverse.

@jenniferplusplus @darius @trwnh @thisismissem Are you sure? I have yet to see this happen in any impls. We did it in reader.distributed.press specifically because nobody else seemed to be doing it which is a major PITA for me. :P

@thisismissem It seems to be taking the created_at part out at least. 🤔 github.com/mastodon/mastodon/b

I'll look more after testing. Gonna let my personal instance take the bulk o9f the damage :P

@jalcine Yeah! It's fun. Been daily driving it for a few months nkw

@thisismissem In mastodon? i'd love to see the source code for it if you know what part of it it'd be in.

@thisismissem I assumed timelines would sort by published time no? I'm gonna run some tests before deploying this to production ofc

@jackdaw_ruiz Me but whenever I have to leave the command line to poke some sort of "app" or dismissing yet another banner/popup on a website. ☝️🤓

Simulating network requests to test a new feature in @distributed

You know how when you follow an account on Mastodon you don't get to see any of the users older posts unless someone else on your instance follows them? Well if it's a distributed press site it'll attempt to "backfill" your instance with all the older posts once your follow request is accepted. 😎

@JamesK

I thought THIS was the "dork web" we were on right now?

The cats are having their 1 AM wrestling match / speed race accross my bed. 🥰

@arichtman Main issue I had was other processes trying to bind tk the port from the OS. Else I had issues if I didn't set the specific interface id on the socket before opening it. On android you also need to call an API to enable multicast UDP. Ad hoc networks can be weird about multicast address space too.

Ottawa pride was fun. Interested to see how the parade is tomorrow. Wish the streets were a bit more accessible tho. Lots of potholes and tricky ledges. 😅

i wish I could browse instagram the way I do Tusky. I just want a chronological feed of people I actually follow, not random algo shit with 50% ads.

Huh.

So, just now I learned that you can convert miles to kilometers with the Fibonacci sequence?

A mile is 1.609 kilometers.

The Golden Ratio, the ratio between Fibonacci numbers as they get large, is 1.618.

So, within about 1%. And large doesn't need to be that large, it's actually pretty accurate from about 8 onwards.

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 etc etc

5 miles is 8 km.
21 miles is 34 km.
89 miles is 144 km.

etc etc.

Kinda neat IMO.
