Anyone know how often Friendica fetches RSS feeds ? Is this frequency configurable ?
I'm seeing some big delays.
Thanks.
TIL if you revert a commit which starts with the text "Revert" git will rename the commit to "Reapply" instead of "Revert Revert"
Please don't ask me how I learned this.
someone might also find it helpful to know there are some other magic things like "!fixup" or "!squash"
Super useful if you're working across multiple branches and are rebasing them a lot!

I previously framed the resistance against copyright as a tragedy in three parts, from anti-copyright to free software and copyleft to free culture and the so-called creative commons. But this fourth act is tragicomic. AI as Détournement.
AI is the recuperation of the anti-copyright critique.“Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it.” Lautréamont, 1870

I don't know if it sucks, I just know there were no bangers that make me want to hear a specific track again. I can't even name a single track from it right now.
It was definitely TOOL. But that's just not enough.

From austinpolitics.net/the-state-o…:
"I remember a couple years ago talking to a local businessman about Project Connect. 'If it doesn't go to the airport, what's the point?' he asked.
This is the kind of comment that would probably prompt vigorous nods of approval at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon but would make heads explode at a gathering of transit experts.
The idea that the purpose of public transit is to facilitate air travel is a more absurd version of the notion, popular among Sunbelt elites, that the point of public transit is to facilitate car travel by reducing car traffic.
(For the same reason that expanding highways doesn't reduce traffic, nor will public transit. The point of transit is not to make it easier to drive, it is to offer an alternative to driving.)"
Exactly.
And should the train go to the airport?Jack Craver (The Austin Politics Newsletter)
Hello, we've just done a bugfix release of #GoToSocial v0.20.3, codename "Most Sinister Sloth 😈😈😈😈😈"!
codeberg.org/superseriousbusin…
This release contains some bugfixes for annoying little API issues, updates to robots.txt to forbid more so-called "ai" (🤢) crawlers, and a bugfix for polite interaction requests that will be useful when v0.21.0 comes out in a couple weeks.
If you're updating to this version from v0.20.0, v0.20.1, or v0.20.2, it's a very easy update with no db migrations.
If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.20.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.20.0, but replace 0.20.0 with 0.20.3 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.20.x contains some potentially very long migrations. Please do read the notes carefully!
If you are currently on a snapshot / nightly build, stay on the snapshot / nightly build, as it's already ahead of this release.
Thanks for reading!
Here's version 0.20.0 of GoToSocial, **Sinister Sloth**. It's been a long summer of gently poking and prodding at the sloth's tummy and sides to make xem giggle.Codeberg.org

@hub They literally acknowledged that they had people with Nazi views on the platform and refused to deplatform them. I really don't know how much more correct that analogy could possibly be.
What pisses me off quite regularly about where we are is that we did not get here overnight. We are here now because of the stubborn refusal of a large number of people to say "that's not OK, we're not going to accept that, and I don't give a flying fuck how loud you cry about it."
If people had ostracized the Tea Party bastards years ago, we wouldn't be here.
If Trump had been sidelined years ago, we wouldn't be here.
If Gamergate and 4chan hadn't been tolerated... we wouldn't be here.
We used to be able to contain this shit. Remember David Duke? The Republican party used to at least refuse to endorse outright bald, naked racism.
Sorry. You caught me in a ranty mode.
oh I know. A few years ago it was like "we pay nazis writer". And in 2025 they even send a promotion mailing with swastica and everything.
But then look at Governments worldwide continue to post on the CSAM generator formerly know as Twitter. They didn't stop when its owner made the salute. Now they are saying there is nothing they can do about the CSAM. (litterally that what our Govt said, posting on said platform)
Obviously having a banker as a PM lead to not understanding science... (or just ignoring it)
It's Poilièvre with better speeches.
This text on resistance in Minneapolis reminds me so much of @pluralistic 's book "Little Brother". It shows that groups need not be powerless victims, even when facing evil.

in reply to Peter Lord • • •It automatically adjusts depending on how often the source posts articles. Presumably the idea is to avoid sending frequent requests to small servers that rarely publish. This does mean that if an account only publishes once a month or so, it'll probably take a day or so before you see the article.
It used to be configurable on a per-feed basis, but looking now I think that setting went away. It can still be configured in the database I believe.
The way Friendica does RSS polling is pretty broken. You're supposed to make conditional requests so that the feed only needs to be built when it genuinely has something new, and you're supposed to respect the retry time. That way you can request much more frequently without overloading the server. But implementing that would require database schema changes.

in reply to Matthew Exon • • •Ah, I see, many thanks.
I just found adjustPollFrequency() in the source which adjusts the feed "rating" based on the number of recent posts.
The feed I was looking at has a rating of 8 (polling once a day) but other feeds I have lower ratings (more frequently polled). Thats consistent with what I see.
Thanks again.
