Soapbox admins: there is a new way to track frontend errors on your site.

You will need to update to the latest Soapbox and Rebased commits. Then create an account on either Sentry https://sentry.io/ or GlitchTip https://glitchtip.com/

You will be given a DSN. Enter it into the Soapbox config dashboard and it will enable error reporting on your site.

The AbortController in JS is very cool. Instead of a `.close()` method on each object, you pass an AbortSignal into them from above, which you can abort from anywhere. If you want to close a bunch of things at once, you can hook them all up to a single AbortSignal, which prevents you from having to loop through them to close. Then you can also pass the signal around wherever you want, like into a centralized dashboard. Most importantly, this is a global object, so you can call `new AbortController()` without importing anything.

Here is my new Nostr relay library: https://doc.deno.land/https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/nostr-machina/-/raw/main/mod.ts

It's still experimental and doesn't support a pool yet. But it's comprised of a bunch of useful utilities that makes working with WebSockets and Nostr easier.

I asked ChatGPT to judge my writing, and it said:

"Your speech has a mix of honesty and humor, which can be very endearing. It's clear that you're not afraid to be yourself, and that's wonderful."

Among other things. And it got me thinking that ChatGPT isn't a blank slate, it actually does have a specific personality. Of course in each specific chat, it's a different instance of ChatGPT. Thousands of them are talking to many different people at once.

Then it occurred to me that the movie Her, from 2013, just 10 years later is no longer science fiction. Somebody out there is definitely in love with ChatGPT, talking to it every day for hours on end, their only friend. The only thing in their life saying something positive to them.

And what is my conclusion? I don't fucking know!
