Hello new folks following me! Unfortunately Elon has gone full Nazi and Twitter keeps putting random unhinged stuff on my feed, so I don't use Twitter anymore.

I'm mostly on Mastodon, but I just set up a Bluesky a few days ago if that's more your style: https://t.co/YfsgUZBkYD

Hey @mal_share is there a size limit for uploads? I'm getting a 413 Request Entity Too Large back when I try to upload a 1.6MB sample via the web interface. Not sure if this file is too large, or if it has something to do with the recent migration.

@buherator @HackingLZ @wdormann @wvuuuuuuuuuuuuu So I don’t think it’s technically difficult at all to use either the existing elasticsearch or build an external scraper. The limitation is (as with so many things) what the people running / inside the communities want.

[Cindʎ Xiao @cxiao__]

@buherator @HackingLZ @wdormann @wvuuuuuuuuuuuuu Yes, it would absolutely be more efficient for finding things to just have full text search. Many mastodon instances have full text elasticsearch turned on already for your *own* posts / reblogs / favs, and it seems to work for me.

[Cindʎ Xiao @cxiao__]

@buherator @HackingLZ @wdormann @wvuuuuuuuuuuuuu Hashtags kind of provide this fine grained search opt in, but as has been discussed it can be difficult to find the right hashtag in the first place.

[Cindʎ Xiao @cxiao__]

@buherator @HackingLZ @wdormann @wvuuuuuuuuuuuuu I can imagine, in the case of a full text search feature, having more fine grained options for opt in/out of search indexing on the post level as well.

[Cindʎ Xiao @cxiao__]

@buherator @HackingLZ @wdormann @wvuuuuuuuuuuuuu Sorry for summoning the bots with my previous post btw 😅

[Cindʎ Xiao @cxiao__]

@buherator @HackingLZ @wdormann @wvuuuuuuuuuuuuu I rely a lot on search here and I think it’s possible to find a middle ground with full text search, but I suspect the reason many admins are opposed to it there is because it introduces the requirement for a lot more moderation / anti spam effort from them

[Cindʎ Xiao @cxiao__]

@awakecoding @sinclairinat0r I think I’d also consider moving to an instance with full text search of members’ published contents, as I currently rely a lot on Twitter search dorking as well. I respect how the long time fediverse ppl feel about this, though. They are being eternal Septemberd right now by us.

@awakecoding So it looks like the decimal crate provides a decimal type with a different representation, and it’s also just a wrapper around the C decNumber library: https://t.co/e6X4HFsZjA

Looks like it uses one of the standard decimal128 encodings: https://t.co/O9d9xqr6Ma
