So far I don't care for how I have activityPub integrated in to #tvmarks. It tried to be a full activityPub app but I think I just want to oauth with mastodon/bluesky and make post updates to the authed account.
I guess maybe this will mess up the idea of being able to reply to a post and it shows up on the website as a comment? I'm not sure, but I'm thinking about it.

I got bored and reverse engineered how SCO #cpio is able to store such large files in their archives when the newc format only officially supports 4Gb file entries.
I am not a coder, so I just made some files with cpio from the Heirloom Toolset and looked at them in hexdump.

OH on slack: sometimes you think, "Oh, a regex could solve this." Now you have two ~problems~ administrators on your github repos
