Lots of signs that say "No Line Cutting*
Equal number of signs advertising a Skip the Line pass.
What a ringing endorsement of pay-to-win capitalism.

@trwnh sorry to bother you about this again, could you let me know the URLs for those toots?
ahahahhaha *closes tab*
@trwnh Can you point me to the note that wasn't immediately picked up?
I can't say for certain, my guess is if it was just a self-reply (not mentioning anybody but yourself), Mastodon won't deliver it to me, since I wasn't `inReplyTo` or mentioned/tagged.
@trwnh hmm.. really? I can see both, which one were you referring to?
Workin' in the backyard today.
@foosel best of luck tomorrow! I heard you were going on @FLOSS_Weekly from the tail end of last week's episode.
Looking forward to listening in!
After spending 11 years in two pairs of beginner shoes, I splurged on an intermediate-advanced shoe to help me get past some tricky sections of 5.11+ climbs that have been kickin' my ass over the years.
Maybe this is the year I break the 5.12 ceiling!
Looks like there's a guide doing a free rock rescue clinic via Zoom this coming Monday.
Find rock climbing routes, photos, and guides for every state, along with experiences and advice from fellow climbers.
Mountain Project (www.mountainproject.com)
> We will talk through the AMGA Rock Rescue Drill and hopefully cover a ton of good info regarding what to do if shit gets weird. Lowering an injured climber, counterbalance rapping to an injured climber, rapping with a climber, hauling a climber up, knot passes, etc.
Every time I visit a site and a modal gets shoved in my face saying "we see you're using an Ad Blocker..."
... I smile to myself and close the tab.
@hrefna time for a SWICG account deletion task force
So someone deleted their Mastodon account and now my instance is receiving an Undo(Announce) for everything they've ever done.
This ... is ... concerning, considering one should assume a single Delete(Actor) should automatically handle all of the side effects?
I'm not particularly worried about the noise, bandwidth, or cycles, it's mostly just out of principle that I think this is weird.
I think @hrefna tooted about this awhile back too.
@Raccoon why would you want to know who sent the report? I'm confused as to why this is an issue.
Knowing the sender would be important to heading off report spam, too...
@BeAware @pixelworld_ai y'all can call it what you want, let us nerds call it the social web
So to sit back and say "yeah there's nothing we can do about it, web apps are slow" is just wilful ignorance at best and learned helplessness at worst.
Easy to do fun things instead of tech debt; we didn't want to optimize NodeBB back then either, we just had a client breathing down our necks to fix it and fix it fast.
But Mastodon is not NodeBB from 10 years ago. This software is used by 1M times the amount of people that used NodeBB. Is that not motivation enough?
@hrefna the thing is, it's an incredibly low bar to clear.
You probably knew this already, but I'm proud of how fast NodeBB is. However, it's not like we spent $10M+ (as @ryansingel shared re: twitter) solving this "hard problem".
@baris and I literally just spent a couple weeks optimizing our code to not do stupid things, batched calls if able, rewrote lower level calls to optimize, etc. and continue to keep efficiency back-of-mind when writing new code.
@BeAware That's completely fair. If we're to truly democratize fedi software, you shouldn't need to be have advanced sysop skills to administer it.
I'm just railing against the common expectation nowadays that "web apps are slow and resource intensive", because that's tantamount to giving up.
That kind of hardware is what we use for our most demanding enterprise level customers who were seeing 1000+ concurrent connections.
People ask us how to tweak Mongo or Redis to optimize NodeBB and 10 years in the answer is the same: the database is not your bottleneck (at least for us).
I don't have enough industry experience to say definitively, but when you start looking into tweaking your database to squeeze more juice out of it YOUR APP IS MAKING TOO MANY EXPENSIVE DATABASE CALLS.
