is there a way to force fetching all encryption keys (i.e. what I think happens automatically when scrolling up in the history) without doing that manually in / some other client? Or is my understanding of how this works incorrect? :boost_ok:

do people really enjoy programming?

outside of isolated cases, i spend half of the time dissociating and the other time vaguely writing code

@domi yes, very much so! I think in a few years there will be more days of my life where I did programming than not :neocat_laptop:

Anyone remember /cgi-bin? I brought it back, but using a Bash webserver and my own JS engine instead of Perl scripts :blobcat3c:

i wonder how much faster akkoma would be if it didn’t store JSON objects in a massive object table

i know why it’s done like this, but perf suffers soooooo baaaaadlyyyyyyy

linus,
@linus@donotsta.re avatar

@domi why is it done like that tho :linusthonk: it's not like they have to store activitypub-compatible blobs for stuff like search and the local TL?

horrifying discovery of the day: clang-format supports a number of languages clang most definitely can't compile and that's implemented using a single lexer with language specific conditionals in various places

Before the new release I might still attempt a typescriptification of the @owntracks frontend. Vue 3 will probably be a major version bump (i.e. frontend 3.x) but I'm getting to a point where gradual update seems doable instead of needing another rewrite.

Once all of this infra work is done I might look at some long requested features - better outlier filtering, better date selection, timeline, height plot (maybe as a 3d map?), and perf work (I bet there's a bunch of O(n^2) loops in there!)

I'd love to learn more about compiler theory and fancy things you can do with the right IR but until then I'll do constant folding and dead code elimination directly in the AST

Sorry compiler people :neocat_pensive:
