Any Matrix Synapse admins out there?

If so, what is the current recommended solution to cleaning the state_groups_state table?

Dream journal: I dreamed up a whole new passage in Dracula where Dr. Seward, I think, writes a letter to some boxer with a very Old Testament name to find out more about Lucy's family, and to Arthur Holmwood about logistics, with some quaint turns of phrase to do with playing with toy soldiers in the garden. Also, a Chinese restaurant; somehow finding room in my small backpack for a hardcover of Les Misérables; giving sarcastic advice to teens mildly misbehaving in a Walmart; a sort of escalator/surface ski lift with a warmed handlebar up steep stairs in winter; and more. Plus usual dreams about battling too many mobs in Minecraft and trying to warp home or to spawn, or quit the game, but keyboard/commands not working.

Nel Fediverso una limitazione non equivale a “zittire” qualcuno.

Un server limitato continua a esistere, i suoi utenti continuano a pubblicare e i loro profili possono ancora essere seguiti manualmente. Nessuno perde il diritto di parlare e nessuno viene cancellato dalla rete.

Trasformare una normale decisione di federazione in un gesto di censura, in un “attacco” o addirittura in un tradimento verso il Fediverso significa confondere deliberatamente due cose molto diverse.

La decentralizzazione esiste proprio perché ogni istanza può decidere autonomamente come costruire il proprio spazio, quali contenuti distribuire automaticamente e con quali altri nodi mantenere determinati rapporti di federazione.

Se questa autonomia viene considerata legittima soltanto quando non disturba i grandi nodi o quando produce decisioni gradite a tutti, allora non stiamo più parlando di vera decentralizzazione.

E nemmeno l’argomento dell’“unità” può diventare un obbligo morale. Una rete federata non deve essere un blocco unico nel quale ogni scelta differente viene descritta come divisiva.

Si può dissentire da una decisione, criticarla e discuterla. È normale.

Ma chiamare “censura” una limitazione che lascia intatta la possibilità di seguire e interagire con quegli account significa attribuire a quella scelta effetti che semplicemente non ha.

La decentralizzazione non consiste nell’essere tutti d’accordo.

Consiste anche nel poter essere in disaccordo senza che qualcuno debba chiedere il permesso agli altri per amministrare casa propria.🙏

@zvavybir I wouldn't call the CDU "far right". They are - especially today - right wing. But I don't think "far right" applies. Yet.

@pixelfed Can’t wait!

Oh Man, I had bedbugs about 6 years ago and this is the one thing that kills them dead without harming humans like pesticides. I now have the legs of my bed sitting in little dishes of this stuff to stop and further infestations. Bed bugs won't be able to climb up the bed legs and bite me. I'm highly allergic to them and each bite turns into a very large, very itchy welt.

@BlackAzizAnansi It's amazing how it only takes 30% support to fuck up the entire country.

@halcy ewww

Halfway through the day and I'm really appreciating that my first year chem classes are all before lunch. The afternoon switches to comp sci and AP chemistry, but the break in the middle is a nice brain reset.

That said, I'm already really tired. My organizational brain has to reboot from a summer of not doing this kind of work.

@davidgerard I have no morals and I must slop
