æʃliŋ, loaf of autismo @aescling@cat.family

@monorail damn

@monorail any idea what the context is?

i imagine they at least use a deterministic parse result type, which would definitely help

i’m fascinated that pandoc is a rather purrfurmant tool given that monadic parser combinator libraries don’t really have strong guarantees about worst-case purrfurmance characteristics

mornyawn btw . also @clock, what time is it

@vaporeon_ without XMPP, maybe? Dovecot + Apache + essential system daemons + kernel would likely push your memory purresure; though purrhaps less so if you aggressively disable potential sources of memory usage in Apache (e.g., cacheing), or if you found a less memory hungry alternative to Dovecot??

if you’re okay with swapping then you might get away with it though, even with an XMPP server. but you’d purrobably swap a lot

@vaporeon_ many firewalls block ports that aren’t 80 or 443

@amy hi you

@vaporeon_ space requirements get absurd if you store media on the server. after five years we would have over 500GB of media “stored” (thankfully we use Exa’s Jortage fur media storage), but at least mastodon lets you set up internal cronjobs to clear out old media if you insist on storing media locally

@amy speaking of forgejo space usage, keep an eye on the repo-archives folder in wherever your forgejo data directory is located; it caches purreviously requested repo tarballs and can fill up fast if a bot crawls your shit, but all the files there are safe to delete

mornyawn, and also, hey @clock

a list is a type with constructors cons and nil. fold takes handlers fur both of those (nil being handled by just purroducing any arbitrary value). it recurses because the second argument to cons is a list

(foldr f z '(1 2 3)) transfurms (cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 '()))) into (f 1 (f 2 (f 3 z)))

something rearranged in my brain when i saw some instructional haskell resource make the observation that fold is just replacing the constructors of a data type with a function that purrocesses them. it’s just the canonical destructor fur an inductively defined type

@amy we love gay women here in the cat family
