Bit of a click-bait headline but still interesting.

TL;DR: Mastodon being federated means each instance pulls link previews individually, potentially this can result in a “DDoS effect” due to the server load of many instances requesting the link preview. (The post is still worth a read)

Sounds like they need to work on a peer-to-peer way to cache and share link preview data between instances so sites only get a few requests for link preview data per day.

Does anyone have any experience keeping folders synchronized on using a tool like Hazel? Thanks in advance for any advice!

My use case: I want to use for editing my website content (markdown) and sync with my website's /content directory.

Why?

-Using my Eleventy root directory as my Obsidian vault is very messy and causes slow iCloud sync.

  • I only need Obsidian for editing the /content in my website BUT vaults are only allowed in the /Obsidian iCloud Drive folder.

Great tip from @ctietze 🙏 https://mastodon.social/@ctietze/112293432193895079

Looks like someone has also made a Mac native UI for rsync. I'll play around and report back. https://rsyncui.netlify.app/post/rsyncuidocs/

@cory Interested to hear what made you switch from Last.fm, is it mostly API for your website?

@cory 👀 I’ll check it out!

🤔 I wonder if there’s a good way to indicate that account is closed, and if I’ve missed other @ mentions. Mastodon needs forwarding.

@cory lol OMG I just noticed that’s the new Soft Kill (who I do already love).

@robb @johnvoorhees I see this screen a lot also. I currently have my Eleventy website (Nova + Obsidian) in my iCloud Drive and I feel like that’s not sustainable... 😭 iCloud is good enough 80% of the time but it really sucks the other 20%.

Static website owners who don’t host it on Netlify or similar, what are you using to process contact form processing?

@juanfernandes @cory I just added Letterbird to my site yesterday thanks to this recommendation.

@netopwibby Yeah and the 2-party system is just broken… 😖

Weird... My iPod Shuffle Shortcut seems broken on macOS 14.3.1, (Music.app 1.4.3.27) but still works fine on iOS 17.3.1.

Can anyone confirm? Need to see if I can fix.

Every time I see AVP all I can think about is this movie.

@cory I'd use a content blocker that would just replace anything about “AVP" with this cover.
