@mitch the picture of when you were working on it reminded me a bit of the view from the bottom of the terraces of Carmel. The shed peeking out over the top just needs a golden roof!

@shayman do you think not? My impression was that the coastal climate would be better. Snowier, maybe, but beats a forty-below fumblefest on the prairies.

@lapingvino thanks, I'll look into it.

@lapingvino I use Firefox.

@lapingvino my problem isn't that I can't install the fonts, but that falling back doesn't seem to work. For example I have some perso-arabic fonts installed, but I still get tofu when I come across it on a webpage, because my latin font doesn't have those characters.

@lapingvino Arch, with Cinnamon as my DE

@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.

@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.

@cfl

@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.

@freemo @mapto

@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.

@mapto

@mitch So why not just turn that off in uBO? You can block both first- and third-party scripts either globally or by domain.

@mrkian

@nomi two I know, in addition to Lima which you already got:
Bellefontaine, OH ... bell fountain
