@lapingvino can you link a pointer on how to set up such a "fallback chain"? I never got non-latin fonts working properly - not normally too much of an issue, but it'd be nice to fix.
@NunavutBirder don't I wish. Until they get Kadeem Carey back, I think it'll be tough sledding. Maier's competitive, but without a credible run threat he's at a disadvantage.
@freemo is that your carry weapon? The muzzle brake looks like it'll make holstering more awkward.
@nomi I don't think Google generally knows how much you'd pay in tolls. I've driven on bridges where you're tolled per axle, taken ferries where you're tolled per passenger, and I've heard of highways which have a computer adjusting tolls in real time to maintain a target number of cars in the toll lane.
@freemo Haha I ran the same command this morning just to check. Glad to see it's been noticed elsewhere.
@cfl Results for this week have been posted to http://www.sportsclubstats.com/football/Canada/CFL.html
@emarktaylor@thecanadian.social no, Dyce challenged for roughing the *quarterback*. Which, as far as I know, doesn't exist. Clearly it's not roughing the passer, as he was a runner rather than a passer on the play.
American football fans, I urge you to give the CFL a watch. (Thread)
Here's how today's game between the Ottawa Redblacks and Winnipeg Blue Bombers went.
Some background.
Ottawa's had a dismal few seasons.
Going into the game, they were 1-3 on the season. Worse, due to injuries, their fourth-string QB (!) was making his first start today.
On the other hand, Winnipeg is a perennial powerhouse - they made it to the Grey Cup last year. And they were 4-1 coming into this game.
@ClaraListensprechen4 have you observed whether it tends to fail at particular times? A bunch of bots may all post hourly at the top of the hour (or maybe daily at midnight Greenwich time) and cause a temporary spike in traffic which busts the rate limits.
@ClaraListensprechen4 that's very useful information. I can see that you're approaching one request per second (I count fifteen requests before hitting the twenty-second mark) - which is already close to bumping you over the limit. Perhaps the biggest smoking gun is the URLs requested: you're constantly getting relationship info. That's not something required to show the timelines, but QOTO has a nonstandard extension which I suspect is to blame: the little icons that show up beneath each user's avatar in the timeline. These icons can change colour based on relationship: grey means neither follows either, yellow means he follows you, blue means you follow him, and green means you each follow the other.
I haven't yet found a way to disable this behaviour on the client side (unchecking the relevant boxes in the settings removes the indicators from the display, but the API calls are still made). Ideally this should be addressed in the QOTO frontend code, but it's not clear how difficult the fix would be. It looks like it's possible to use a single API call to get info on several accounts, so in theory we'd be able to batch up the requests and submit a bunch of them every five seconds or something. Alternatively, it might be possible to make the API calls only if the user has the feature enabled (the frontend should have that information already), but I don't know the code well enough to say how much else would need to be changed. The straightforward approach of outright blocking requests to the relationships endpoint causes errors, unfortunately.
@freemo the offending call is dispatch(fetchRelationships([status.reblog ? status.reblog.account_id : status.account_id, status.quote ? status.quote.account_id : null].filter(function(e){return e}))) in mastodon/actions/timelines.js.
@nomi two I know, in addition to Lima which you already got:
Bellefontaine, OH ... bell fountain
Delhi, OH ... dell high
@ClaraListensprechen4 yep. In Firefox on Linux it's Tools > Browser Tools > Web Developer Tools.
@ClaraListensprechen4 it's a browser tool that lets you edit a page's HTML live, debug executing javascript, inspect network traffic, and a couple other things. It's intended to provide useful information for a developer trying to troubleshoot a problem with his website, but it's widely useful beyond that.
@ClaraListensprechen4 can you pop into the developer console, network tab, and see what URL it's trying to reach (probably giving you a bunch of 429 responses)?
@freemo I've had something similar before, but it's been a long time. I stopped using the federated tab on account of it being way too full of low quality content that made it hard to find anything useful + nsfw things I didn't want on my screen.
The federated tab is very much drinking from the firehouse in terms of content, and Mastodon has a default rate limit of three hundred API calls per five minutes (i.e. one per second, on a five minute average). I dunno if QOTO changed that - we have some things like post length limit that are better than default - but there's some limit, anyway. My working hypothesis is that just fetching the new posts gets pretty close to whatever the cutoff is, but doesn't bust it; and sometimes the web client has to make additional API calls that blow the budget. The quoted post mentions that a video came up, so fetching the media file is a plausible additional step that could be to blame.
I believe there is a "slow mode" in the settings. Maybe try that and see if the problem goes away?
@mitch yup. And imagine trying to explain the problem to a receptionist who doesn't know or care what HTML means and is just focussed on getting you to fork over the $35.
@mitch y'all know some people read the plaintext and never even see the HTML?
I got an email saying my appointment was cancelled and I'd have to reschedule. Annoying, but whatever - until they called me to try and ding me for a no-show fee. Turns out their marketing dingbats just edited an existing email to avoid having to compose it from the ground up, and they changed the HTML attachment but not the actual text of the email. And their starting point was the "appointment cancelled" message. >:(

@nomi subject/object pronouns, not subject/possessive. Feminine singular third person just happens to use "her" for both. So full sets would be
I/me/myself/my/mine
Thou/thee/thyself/thy/thine
She/her/herself/her/hers
He/him/himself/his/his
It/it/itself/its/its
We/us/ourselves/our/ours
You/you/yourselves/your/yours
They/them/themselves/their/theirs
but conventionally we just shorten it the first pair.
I'd like to see the second person singular come back!
