I went with the cheapest laptop cooler I could find on amazon. There's another model for $10 more that's a "desirable partner" but I'm not ready for that level of commitment.
It's not summer until the gaming laptop cooling stand comes out. It's a little big for the G14. In fact, I think I would be able to fit the G14 inside were it not for the LED fans. Maybe I'll try that. Scoop the fans out, get a stand and protective shell twofer. I mostly bought it just because I wanted something to keep the hot bottom off my lap. There's a time and place for that, but not when it's 90 degrees. An empty stand would still work pretty well.

Today I learned that Pepsi introduced the 2-liter soda bottle to US markets, and the reason it's marketed in liters and not quarts/gallons (as you'd expect in the United States) is it came out in the 1970s during a push for US to convert to the metric system. More on the bottle, and the metric movement, here: https://www.marketplace.org/2017/10/10/why-does-soda-come-liters-and-milk-gallons/

Self licking ice cream cone is a really strange metaphor. Licking the ice cream is my reason for buying an ice cream cone (though full disclosure, I'm a cup not a cone person). If it licks itself, I'd have no use for it. I certainly wouldn't struggle to toss it.

Ungracious then as the task may be, I shall recall to view those scandalous stages of my life, out of which I emerg'd, at length, to the enjoyment of every blessing in the power of love, health, and fortune to bestow; whilst yet in the flower of youth, and not too late to employ the leisure afforded me by great ease and affluence, to cultivate an understanding, naturally not a despicable one, and which had, even amidst the whirl of loose pleasures I had been tost in, exerted more observation on the characters and manners of the world than what is common to those of my unhappy profession, who looking on all thought or reflection as their capital enemy, keep it at as great a distance as they can, or destroy it without mercy.

@meena if you're locking down the actor and key, probably not very well. I don't much like the feature, but if I can't retrieve some post, that's fine, the feature is working as intended. It's annoying though when somebody sends me a message signed with some key, then won't let me retrieve the key. That just seems rude.

I should totally spend a weekend massively overengineering a multilevel priority queue for honk deliveries that prioritizes fast servers.
Oof, it looks like it takes me up to 4-5 seconds to clear the outgoing post queue now. It was 2-3 for a while, then it started creeping up, so I increased simultaneous connections from 20 to 40, and now it's going back up.

So one of my peeves with signed fetch is it requires anybody writing a new implementation to get an awful lot of code right and up and running before you're allowed to even see if any of it is right. When I was writing honk, running curl and looking at mastodon's responses was instrumental in seeing how objects are formatted and what fields are included. But now mastodon won't even let you see an actor object until you yourself publish a fully formed correctly formatted actor object. How are you supposed to learn in such an environment? Step 1: achieve some success. Step 2: pull up the ladder.
Well, well, well, surprise twist, Mastodon implements http signatures for get requests incorrectly, omitting the query string from the signature. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

@absc so the Fast function is only called in paths where the user is waiting for a response. Most of the time, if it times out it's because the url was entered wrong or something, so it's better to have faster feedback. 5 seconds is pretty slow for a server to respond. I can probably add a config option for it.

Some "fun" commentary on activitypub and httpsig and the don Every AP user has a private key stored somewhere on the server, which it uses to sign outgoing messages to other servers, in an http header. On first contact, the receiving server has to fetch the public key from the sending server, and then usually caches it. Two weeks ago I decided it was unwise to cache keys forever. If a remote loses their private key, the baddie can forge messages. Recovery is generally the origin rotates all keys, but there's no way to clear a distributed cache. Just have to wait until a receiving server notices a sig failure, then refetches the public key to check again. So there's a large window to forge messages to servers that aren't in regular contact. So I changed honk to not cache forever. This is fine. I delete the cached public key after a few days, a new message arrives, I refetch the public key. Except for the magical mastodon secure mode. Super secure mastodon will send me messages, but not allow me to fetch the corresponding public key. This seems suboptimal. The punchline is a few people I used to follow can no longer be followed because I can't verify the messages their server sends me. Used to work because the key was cached from years ago, before the time of super duper security, but after I expired the key, I can't refetch it. Whoops.
