ok, after switching database providers twice (neon -> fly.io managed postgres -> RDS), plus switching and half-rewriting postgres client libs, I think I have finally fixed the db connection issues bunnypaws.kadei.net was having (particularly after a fly.io firecracker resume). phew
if you know you're getting the placebo tickets then the trial wasn't properly blinded smh
mysterious
only noticed because i opened htop for another reason and noticed postgresql was pinning a core to 100%
probably not gonna use that one
was playing around with postgres yesterday experimenting with different strategies for stats queries for bunnypaws. just noticed that one of the queries, having timed out at the psql, had continued running on the server side.
for the last 24 hours.

i heard you like rats so I put a rat in your rats
anyway that's why my log files are full of `DEBG fallback: received update type=command "citrussy"`
so it turns out all slash commands in a group are sent to all bots in that group. which is surprising because you register the bot as being able to handle specific commands. but that's apparently purely for the autocomplete ui and doesn't act as a filter? seems kinda jank
you can! not with the telegram bot (would be hard to correlate them with individual stickers with a chat flow), but if you log in to the site with your telegram you can add more tags to individual stickers there
fixed
whoever submitted TatsusBoldPack to the bot has just found the bug that the automod breaks with webm stickers. sorry about that, will fix later
unrelatedly I'm at nfc now, come say hi
nb: the email addresses mentioned in the help page don't work yet, for new just send any feedback on telegram pls
so the new project i picked up a few months ago is ready to show! it's a v2 rewrite of @nican.net's bunnypa.ws database of telegram stickers with a bunch of new features, and the beta is up on bunnypaws.kadei.net . send me feedback or add stickers by messaging them to t.me/bunnypaws_v2... !
the only way you can tell I am in this pic is my paw on the far right reaching up from Under
cables plugged into a control board with visible glue stopping you unplugging them
screwhead that needs a triangular screwdriver. (or a flathead of exactly the right size which is what I used..)
had two levoit LV-PUR131 air purifiers, both broke after 3yrs, dead electrolytic capacitors. got hold of new caps, tried replacing them and bugger me they go out of their way to make it hard. glued-in power cables, blobs of glue on the circuit board, one triangular screwhead just to fuck with you..
metaphorically 😁
finally got some free time today to make some headway on a new (non-work) project and feeling hyped for it! this is what I needed to get over the pawsome fiasco. ah, new software smell 😊
keeping the details under wraps for now (since it's a rewrite of a friend's existing project)
new vr gear just been delivered! bsb2e, lighthouses, index controllers, 3x vive fbt.
...valve of course announces the death of outside-in tracking immediately after i buy into that ecosystem 😅
*rat
And I'm absolutely fucking gutted. I spent hundreds of hours on a tight timeline working on this, and to hear so soon after Neutron's death that without him to champion it the con no longer has any interest in it feels like a double gut punch.
And the two remaining directors (who I don't know well) have just told me that without him to sponsor it they have no interest in the project. They're going with someting one of their friends is throwing together in python.
And then Neutron died.
issues that almost all the existing ones had (few tests, little static typing, and almost always proprietary to the con that used them). Mine was open source from the beginning, github.com/kadei-rat/ka.... Well-tested from the beginning. Statically typed, performant, reliable.
so for a while now I'd been working with Neutron, who was one of the directors of Pawsome, on a registration system. It was on track to be ready for reg in 2026.
I've previously worked on con reg systems and knew I could do something that avoided the
you can do 6 if you can light a subset of a letter, so just the vertical bar of the E. (can do II and III in this way too with the F)
in my defense i got you other things too
well you did just take the lift up nine floors
