Every time Musk opens his mouth the universe throws dice for the stupidest shit to come out

Eugen Rochko

Mastodon's database size can often be reduced either through Postgres' VACUUM command or the pg_repack extension, the latter usually being more effective as a lot of the size is in index bloat which VACUUM does not touch. Mind that I do not recommend running VACUUM FULL unless you absolutely need to reclaim disk space on the system.

Eugen Rochko

Speaking of vacuuming, the upcoming version of Mastodon will provide admins with the option to define a content retention policy that will evict all remote posts past a defined date. A harsh, but most effective way to keep the database (and by extension, media cache) to a constant size, as far as activity by local users allows.

:PUA: Shlee fucked around and

@Gargron Modern Postgres supports autovacuum. Admins shouldn't need to do that.

Teknikal_Domain

@Gargron About index bloat, that could also be solved with a REINDEX / REINDEX CONCURRENTLY as well, correct?

Eugen Rochko

The new "select all results matching search" function (in the main branch) is a blessing for dealing with spammers in Mastodon...

Deadly Headshot

@Gargron
Wait, search is no longer limited to hashtag? I thought that was a design decision?

The new joinmastodon.org website delivered by @oakstudios is live (has been for a little while, actually, but I've been working on it still). I think it's the best it's ever been. Check out the branding and about pages too!

@Gargron @oakstudios On a browser with #uBlockOrigin installed, I click link, tab opens, tab instantly closes.

@Gargron It's good timing! There may be another Elon-triggered influx of users soon.

@Gargron mastodon can be a full throttle alternative for twitter if some changes incorporated since twitter is not a free space anymore to express ones opinion - specifically it supports fascists

What is this iOS 16 thing everyone is talking about?

Rishi556

@Gargron Thoughts so far? Been using the beta and doesn't seem like anything too special from the last update.

Today morning my fiancée came into the room, said "It's morbing time" and kissed me

@Gargron my fiancé talks a lot during her sleep and I record the biggest bangers. Recently when I lied down next to her at 2am after a long night of videogames, she wished me safe travels. Another time she pulled the blanket off me and said "I'm the blanket thief"

They weren't lying, building IKEA furniture as 2 people is much easier

K4mpfie

@Gargron It gets even easier if you actually read the instructions! But who has time for that?

TheOPtimal

@Gargron yes, *as* two people

i love cloning myself to build furniture

The one thing I was hoping to see that wasn’t mentioned was something to capture the night sky #AppleEvent

Biggest crime of Tik Tok was making people believe that vertical video was OK

@Gargron the biggest crime of Tik Tok is its Text to speech, followed by various food crimes posted on the platform

Let us just hope it does not make it into movie theaters.

@Gargron I have #TailwindCSS on my list of things to try.

I'm currently using #bootstrap v4 which is a fundamentally different approach.

Nicol Wistreich

@Gargron so's junk food 🙂 .

(meant in jest, but after years of devs laughing at those of us who use modular PHP CMSs because they're easy, quick (and save many of us learning to code)… I am enjoying how Tailwind has replaced Bootstrap as non-CSS-design-devs go-to tool, as, even though it's verbose & bloatey like Bootstrap, it's easier to make things look nice/as you want).

Not enough people are talking about #Antimai. Beast of an album.

Catfluoride

@Gargron hey, not bad at all. Just listened to it. "Strange" music for someone accustomed to rock and metal, but not bad at all. Thanks!

Eugen Rochko

I do not care for those drawing AIs

@Gargron ever see the video of Hayao Miyakazi reacting to an AI generated body animation? Devastating same.

@Gargron you and me both. Did you see one already won an art contest? This is going to make things worse for artists like me.

New Ché Aimee Dorval song, Blood Red Son... (I do not know what is going on in the video)

@Gargron I don't think you're supposed to know. 😉 Good song though.

Truth Social costing $320k per month to host is wild, and hilarious. I’m curious to see the breakdown of how that’s possible.

@Gargron inflation, tech parts, staff costs, it all adds up

@Gargron combination of their policies and the idiots who "run" it

@Gargron I should send a quote of $150k/month 😂
