the problem with filtering mastodon public feeds by tag is peole are terrible at tagging content in any kind of standardized way. I expect that will get better as tags become more important, which will come when databases of mastodon content by tag becomes more popular.

@aaronpk hi Aaron. 73 de CT1ETE. Have a nice trip and enjoy!

@aaronpk are you flying home on Qantas? I think I’ve got a Qantas Lounge guest pass I could transfer to you.

I feel dumber and dumber with the college Java exercises. They're distant from reality, when I google them - nothing comes out aside of tutorials how to do that, which makes me assume... these algorithms have no usage in the real world.

Sometimes things like this make me want to drop programming altogether and just... go work in a nearby fast food chain. At least I'd be more useful there... 😭😭😭

@aaronpk Hah, yeah, I remember being embarrassed/annoyed too!

I seem to recall there being a warning on the application form that there was a possibility the application might get held for review, even though fortunately it went through immediately for me and you...

@aaronpk Had that problem on my first visit to Australia but it was long enough ago that getting to the web form from inside the airport was a bit of a challenge. I think that was when I was still using a Neo Freerunner; whatever it was, I remember thinking that most people in that situation would have been out of luck at the time. Now browsing the web on your mobile device from anywhere is routine...

@aaronpk
It was pure magic. Feel free to click #apconf -
the thing is :
I cutted the videos but now a keynote has 16GB and 90GB are all videos and they wanna have it on peertube but no peertube accepts this size.
How could I compress it further -
youtube "hd" resolution or fps ???
I mean : Is it realistic that a 16GB video becomes 2GB ok quality ?
Just would like to upload it anywhere …

Was struggling to choose between Couch and MongoDB. Instead decided to save stuff in flat files.

@aaronpk is this a sign that database antipattern got me mad and I'm ready to eschew databases as primary storage?
