It wasn't actually a bad event, I'd simply wiped the database to have a clean slate and forgot about redis, I should add a ttl on that key.

Evelyn @chipnick.com · 3h

spent WAY too long trying to figure out why the indexer kept dropping the websocket connection. Finally after adding a stupid amount of logging to both ends I discovered a bad event it was choking on.
The fix? Removing the marker from redis that the indexer used to know where it left off.

God dammit. I’d been considering them for a while.

Taking it a step further and hopping on the Arch hype train by installing it on my 2015 MBP. I've already got a fresh ssd and battery waiting to be installed.

I have even more questions

Signs you're getting deep into ATproto development: You're seriously considering converting your desktop into a second server to handle the intensive indexing processes.

For everyone angry at Bluesky, a direct way we can help northsky is by tossing them a few bucks.

They're all working multiple jobs trying to make this happen for us.

May not seem like much but that results message is progress.

Just need indexing to catch up and I _should_ start getting results and things in my feed.

Hopefully

As I slowly find and resolve obscure dependencies the obvious things are getting noticed, my indexer was broken because I didn't consider I'm not hitting the relay through nginx. And I'd shut off the search backend and didn't start it back up

@futur.blue might need to pick your brain or you to tell me I took a very wrong turn and ventured into pain town.

Evelyn @chipnick.com · 1d

It would be hilarious-oh it actually is.

When the plc backfill is incomplete it can't lookup your handle/did so a 401 is the result returned. Zeppelin plc is pretty barebones so I wasn't getting any logging out of it.

Now onto the mystery 400s.

Alllmost, I can post from the client but there's still some funny business

Evelyn @chipnick.com · 1d

Ok neat, posting from the appview client works but 401 for everything trying to fetch from bsky.

Test

Evelyn @chipnick.com · 1d

Sill unpacking how to run an appview. Missed a step to create a handle on a pds that is part of the network which may solve the auth issues. Then I realised that Cloudflare won't do ssl for sub-sub-domains (appview.pds.blah) so I've ripped cloudflare out of the mix and am waiting for dns propagation

Fedora is a very nice distro with not too much bloat! I use it on my server.

It’s also the gateway distro, we need to get him on arch Linux.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11
