this will happen alongside upping the `api_version` `net.iceshrimp.bites` to `2`. the old endpoint will exist in iceshrimp.net for existing clients, but will not be documented in v2 (so wafrn can expose it and save client devs from feature detection hell)

that last line.. has been a major issue with quite a few decentralized in intent systems.

also why I stopped doing mastodev.

I feel we could do more together (ActivityPub & ATProto) but eh

atdev does sound much nicer than mastodev

By default #Mastodon does not retry S3 uploads on 500 errors. This can be changed using the S3_RETRIES_LIMIT env variable (added in v4.3.0) — this is currently undocumented but there is a open pull request to document it (https://github.com/mastodon/documentation/pull/1464)

I'm adding support for multiple public keys per actor in Smithereen for future-proofing purposes. Are there any signature algorithms other than RSA currently in use on the fediverse? ECDSA maybe?

Got curious and confirmed. If an account is added to both exclusive and non-exclusive lists, exclusive wins and posts from that account will be excluded from Home timeline 👌

Preliminary #wip on Phanpy for showing translated rules when reporting posts.

Show a Translate button if there's no matched language? 🤔

Hey, Fediverse! I'm looking for informed opinions on database choices.

I can stand up an Internet-facing application and have it use either mysql or postgresql. Which is the better choice, and why do you think so?

Thanks!

"Not using AI code analyzers in your project means that you leave adversaries and attackers time and opportunity to find and exploit the flaws you don’t find."

I'm _very_ worried for #mastodev and other open source projects where maintainers are taking an irrational position on the use of LLMs. […]

yep I'm not sure where I started but pretty soon after wanting to get into development, I realised documentation wasn't upto what i felt it should be then I joined mastodev.

but as a user, yeah a little intimidating at first but people are generally willing to help out n its nice.

Mastodon 4.3.0 split the streaming service into its own Docker image from the other services.

Admins using the official Helm chart will need this change in order to upgrade: https://github.com/mastodon/chart/pull/157

TIL there's bulk edit for notification requests https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/31457

Personally, I'm not a fan of bulk edit UI's 😩
