The #rust solution with buggy / outdated #crates:
Package versions can’t be deleted, they can only be yanked. A yanked package can still be used if it is in your project’s lock file so existing projects will not break.
But new projects can not use a buggy version, #cargo will display an error and advise an upgrade. Backwards compatibility without compromising new features.
The other day a friend of mine asked if I'd noted some problem or high load in our little #mastodon instance. I said no, but then I took a look at #sidekiq, and it seemed that -definitely- something was occurring in the background.
This instance has been installed on 2022-05-26 in a little server, on 2022-09-09 it was migrated to v.3.5.3 and on 2022-09-24 I've bought a new -bigger- server.
- Media storage: 30Gb.
- Postgres storage: 400Mb.
- Redis storage: 20Mb.
That's the toy. #micropost
After some tries with #golang and #rust, I've opted to have some fun with #python too.
And there it is, the script that picks all the "#micropost" toots and converts them into the proper markdown thing for my #hugo web, media elements are also included.
Not sure if it can be helpful out there but...

note: it's a pity that #gitea doesn't have a snippets section.
That’s it for today. Let me just write down the #crates I'm using in order to properly read the #rss with this #rust 🦀 thing:
- 🔘 https://docs.rs/rss/latest/rss/
- 🔘 https://docs.rs/reqwest/latest/reqwest/blocking/
As today it was so and so, maybe tomorrow I can move forward in a more success way, I'm exhausted. #micropost
Tokyo Night seems a good choice to move away from Gruvbox. I have no problem with #gruvbox but feel like I need a change, I'm tired of the orange-ranges and seems like blue tones fit better for now. Will see.

Some words about our little #community...
In the beginning I was curious about the challenge to host a #mastodon instance, then I was a bit worried because of the data responsibility and everything. Now, after chatting and dealing with little problems here and there, I must say I'm glad I did that.
And proud, because #bofhers understand that this is a hobby and afaik they understand what #fediverse + decentralized means + they're offering hand when some help is needed.

I don't understand a word of Turkish but you can't imagine how it helps to see someone else working -with similar tools- same time.
Remote work is not all about pros and pleasures, it has cons too, such as being alone most of the time.
Little summary from our instance in numbers (20221107):
🔘 Mastodon version 3.5.3
🔘 Active users: 35
🔘 Interactions: near 1k
🔘 Disk: 26Gb (90% are media_attachments)
🔘 DB: pg_dump recently baked is about 200Mb (50Mb gzipped)
My guess is that no big investment is needed - server - for a tiny number of users, but to be honest dunno what happens if it grows as it is doing in some instances that have experienced problems lately.
