Don’t worry, it’s not boat life. I barely ever touch the system and am just using my programs. Settling might take a while, especially if everything is new I guess

Only boring thing in this thread is your post

Fixed

Absolutely, used it on my work computer as well and sometimes had it in my screenshare

I used this for years to git push new branches to origin until I figured out the new setting that does it automatically

dc is docker compose on my servers and yes, I often mistype dc/cd

Maybe ten years ago? Today I’m mostly seeing people making fun of systemd-haters

Are you talking about another thread? Because this one seems like the opposite

It’s all done by hand by human moderators

KYC = know your customer

For everyone else but knowing

I’m really not sure about that being inexpensive. The files will grow and the list of people to follow usually grows as well. This just doesn’t scale well.

I follow 700 people on Mastodon. That’s 700 requests every interval. With 100-10000 posts or possibly millions of interactions in each file.

Of course you can do stuff like pagination or something like that. But some people follow 10000 accounts and want to have their timeline updated in short in intervals.

Pulling like this is usually used when the author can’t sent you something directly and it works in RSS Feeds. But most people don’t follow hundreds of RSS feeds. Which reminds me that every mastodon profile offers an RSS feed - you can already do what you described with an RSS reader.

But only once. If an account doesn’t post/interact for a year, it doesn’t cause any traffic. With your approach, I constantly need to pull that account’s profile to see if something new showed up.

So I have to constantly check all files from everyone I follow for new entries in order to have a working timeline?
