Trying to come up with a name for a new project and every name is already taken. 🤣 The internet is full!

very good blog post that reminded me why it's taking so long to ship bbycll — previously i had computed the hashes of every post before storing them in the database, after realizing it's a much better idea to compute the hashes during runtime and only store the post content & timestamp i'm now having to rewrite every function that reads & writes data. i hope the reason as to why i lost motivation is obvious — thankfully i caught it early enough so that once i'm done rewriting just those functions i should™ be able to finalize 1.0-rc with little hassle

@zvava@twtxt.net The problem you now then is you lose integrity of the message content if you compute the hashes at runtime rather than on the way in. So if your message content or database becomes corrupt in any way, so do your hashes.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org while caching those is a good idea the problem is baking data that can be calculated into the database instead of some cache, because post hashes are not fixed and change for every post edit. you can always easily look up other twts by hash with a cached lookup table, but now you’re not locked into them so supporting hashv2 or other hash variants or any other solution becomes far easier
@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe The CSS 404ing highlights the improvability of the content to noise ratio. :-)

@lyse … I was about to write “it really is worse where you live”, then I heard the first bang out on the street. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The asshats are everywhere. Luckily, it has been rather quiet so far. But of course, I now jinxed it.
