Olivia A-C

I'm a programmer with a Master's in Computer Science & Engineering who dabbles in photography. My weird interests are probably OpenStreetMap, Project Euler, and number theory.

@nprofile…uhjq wait, is that why when I ask people to remind me of things, I tend to remember even if they don't?

Hot take: if it doesn't have an RSS feed, it's by definition not a blog

Seeking: things you do while anxious to help be less anxious

The whole of sphinx-fediverse's doc page (domain-local only) is about 800KiB. It's fetching ~465KiB from other sources (mostly Mastodon, a little from shields.io). That's 1.234 MiB.
A lot of that is from fonts or resources outside of my control. I think I would only be able to trim down a few KiB without just removing fonts/images wholesale. I think that's pretty good, tbh
@nprofile…k2mh, I think you would appreciate this. I am only thinking about it because of your posts 😆
Now the real question is: how the heck does Chrome take 150MiB to display that?

Then take baby steps. Even incremental improvement is still improvement

@nprofile…dwme Yes, that is the version that was crashing. I updated from F-Droid right before I sent this/these

@nprofile…dwme I sent several, actually

So, @nprofile…dwme used to be error-prone on Sharkey, but now it straight up crashes if I go to the notifications panel. I think I am gonna switch to Aria for a bit, but (and I am not joking about this) how much would I need to donate per month for this to be a priority? I love this app. I want it to support every fedi platform possible. And I would help directly, but I am garbage when it comes to Android programming

@nprofile…dwme Bug report submitted on both ends
- https://activitypub.software/TransFem-org/Sharkey/-/issues/955

2025-02-21 18:22:48

@nprofile…dwme, I just logged into a #Sharkey/#Misskey instance for the first time, and for some reason likes show in the notifications as new followers. Not sure if that is a #FediLab bug or an upstream one, but it's quite odd
