i built @relistan 's branch this morning and tried out ktistec support for mastodon profile metadata. the attachment shows profile metadata pulled from the ruby.social mastodon instance, as well as @relistan 's own personal ktistec instance. this is something i've wanted for a long time!

a shoutout is due both these two (the owners of the two profiles shown in the attachment): @alexanderadam has been posting encouragement about ktistec all year long, and maybe before—an intangible that's immensely valuable when you're banging away on open source software—and @relistan is the first person besides me to contribute major feature functionality to the project—which takes a huge leap of faith.

thanks!

i added some in-process data collection to ktistec in order to better understand how it uses memory.

the chart shows the accumulated total requested memory (blue) over time. as expected, it grows monotonically and almost linearly. in theory, i guess, if i posted something engaging, you'd see the effect of the engagement  (likes, shares, follows, etc. etc. etc.) on memory usage. in any case, the heap (red) remains flat.

i think it would be great to have this chart on the metrics page. when time permits, i'll add it. in the meantime, if you're running a (very) recent build, you're collecting data.

tonight's the debut of toby spark, gnome artificer. it's my third campaign with the same group of people—all old coworkers, and some family. we play over hangouts—it's amazing how normal that feels now. ("sit around a table with paper and pencils! oh, how quaint!")

toby says, "...the secret to controlling magic is gears and pulleys...!"
