Unfortunately, GGG is nerfing every fun build very quickly, which is making me worried about the future of PoE2. TBH, the ascendancy trials are so bad, I went back to PoE1 for a few hours earlier today.

Maybe one day we will "rearchitect" our HA pgsql triggers and stored procedures and replace it with an Sqlite crap flat db and ask for your opinion. Until then, stay in your lane. media3.giphy.com/media/VkICFY...

That value has been growing daily. Many join because "oh it's private, FOMO" but as soon as they land, they feel "mission accomplished, I'm in the inner circle " and the truth is, they have nothing to say or any value to add. One might say that the return on investment from being private is failing.

You don't know how we collect stats, which makes you write inefficient skeets. That warning says the rate limiting makes gathering data slower, not that we hit the limits.

We never count deleted/banned accounts, and every single number you see in vqv.app constitutes "the truth" as far as atproto is concerned. I can't speak for other devs.

I could add that feature to vqv.app. Let me think about it.

No worries! Yeah that would be great. Another thing we'd like to have is the ability to extract info of more than 25 users at a time. Just imagine how many atproto calls we have to do presently, to get data from 1M people. 🤦

Actually, vqv.app tracks all that already - except blocks, because it's such a toxic topic (tongue twister) we gave up on blocks. But the rest.. Might take some work, but definitely doable. Let me put it on my "ToDo next" 😎

NEW: Looks like Elon Musk’s Starlink went out during yet another critical Ukraine offensive against the Russian Navy last night. The cruise missiles (not reliant on Starlink) hit their targets. But the drones - which rely on Starlink - were destroyed by the Russian military.

BBC News in Kyiv, Ukraine and London
Ukraine has said it attacked naval targets and port infrastructure in Crimea, in one of its biggest strikes on the Russian navy's Black Sea fleet.

Russia earlier claimed Ukraine had launched 10 missiles and three unmanned boats in the attack.

It caused a large fire at a Sevastopol shipyard which left 24 people injured, Russia said.

The Moscow-installed governor claimed most of the weapons were intercepted but that two ships had been damaged.

Ukraine has strongly implied western-supplied cruise missiles were used in the attack, one of the biggest on the Black Sea fleet since the war started.Downdetctor(!)
Starlink outages reported in the last 24 hours.

Absolutely nothing until ~5pm PT (3am in Ukraine), when the number of outage reports skyrocketed to a max of 33,202. And then, by 7pm PT (5am in Ukraine), the outages were reporting much lower, only around 2,000 for that time period, and over the next several hours it plummeted to less than 100.Please use the sharing tools found via the share button at the top or side of articles.

	Ukraine targeted a Russian navy yard in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol, striking at least two warships undergoing repairs in dry docks, said Russian authorities and Moscow-imposed officials in the occupied Black Sea peninsula.

Footage posted on social media by authorities and bystanders in Sevastopol captured missile strikes and fiery explosions at Sevmorzavod, Russia’s main Black Sea fleet shipbuilding and maintenance plant, early on Wednesday. Russia’s defence ministry claimed 10 missiles were fired at the ship repair facility, with seven missiles

Atproto does not provide metrics regarding users who login and "just look". Is that an "active" user"? What about the ones who only repost and create nothing, are those active? And the ones who follow then unfollow immediately? (spamming a notification, I call it "bsky bullying")
