related: I figured I should see if I can cut down on the size of the remote media and came across this (fairly aged) post about pruning the caches.
https://ricard.dev/improving-mastodons-disk-usage/
So I have initiated:
# Prune remote accounts that never interacted with a local user
RAILS_ENV=production /home/mastodon/live/bin/tootctl accounts prune;
And the ETA is 33hrs on pruning 325,000 accounts!
lol. clearly I will not be able to do this in an interactive ssh session. I'll setup a cron for it to do its work silently in the background.
How did I miss this basic management?

Figured out what I was doing wrong in the curve25519 refactoring: the state signal I was using to dispatch register file reads also glitched high for one cycle (not sure if this is technically a glitch since it's synchronous but whatever) at the end of each main loop iteration.
This is harmless if you have combinatorial reads, but if you have synchronous reads with latency it leads to the "read data ready" signal being asserted an extra time and some extra math operation…

Rethinking HSM and TPM Security in the Cloud: Real-World Attacks and Next-Gen Defenses
As organizations rapidly migrate to the cloud, the security of cryptographic key management has become a growing concern. Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) and Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), traditionally seen as the gold standard for securing encryption keys and digital trust, are increasingly challenged by cloud-native threats. Real-world breaches have exposed weaknesses in cloud deployments, including misconfigurations, API abuse, and privilege escalations, allowing attackers to access sens…

I went for a short ride today, and every now and then I would hear this weird “cling clang” sound, but I couldn’t figure out what the hell it was. I even stopped twice to investigate. It wasn’t constant though, just intermittent. Urgh!
Got home, took a photo, and then figured it out. Sigh…

Ah, I figured it out. Classic.
Somewhere else in the project someone is mocking one of my dependencies and overwriting the singleton instance.
So it’s wholly non deterministic whether I get a working or broken dependency at runtime.
The debugger being attached slowed execution of my particular test, making it more likely the offending one had run in parallel before I finished stepping through the code.
