Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI

  • Yep.

    it doesn’t save my settings or my favorites and multi-communities.

    It should save/persist the favorites to your browser’s local storage. If you’re using a browser that clears site data on close or something, then they’ll reset. But it also wouldn’t persist your profile and you’d have to log in every time, so…🤔 It doesn’t, however, save any settings beyond your device. I’m working on a way to securely save those to whatever Tesseract server you use but don’t have it implemented yet.

    This version (1.4.42) also changes where and how the favorites, community groups, and filters are stored in addition to not storing useless data like the community sidebar info, etc. They’re also no longer stored inside your profile in a single local storage object. Since these save to the browser’s local storage, there’s a hard 5 MB limit per object (everything gets written to a JSON string), so maybe your profile exceeded that somehow? If so, there should be browser console logs to that effect. Regardless, this version splits those all up into separate storage objects to address that problem.

    Not sure what you mean by multi-communities, though. There was a feature to create custom feeds (which is kind-of similar to multi-community) but I took that out a long time ago because API changes in 0.19.3+ made it untenable. I think that was removed in 1.4.40 or thereabouts, so if you’re on a version older than that, then maybe that feature is still present. That feature was pretty broken for a long time which is why I finally removed it and put it out of its misery.











  • I had a “2-3 weeks” ETA about 2 months ago for the initial beta release. Looks like that ship sailed. In the last few days I’m kind of getting back into the swing of development but I’m still behind and can’t devote as much time to it as I’d like.

    I think the last thing that’s preventing a beta release is the settings importer is unfinished (had to be re-written). Once that’s done, I can at least get the beta out for use. There’s a few other cosmetic things I need to fix as well but it’s still usable.




  • The kitchen would be the only room with a subpanel.

    As stated in the post, the oven is already on a dedicated 30A circuit, and I’m not going to mess with that. There’s an empty void near the oven, though, and my thought was to run another 30 amp circuit up beside that to feed the subpanel and place it in that “void”. Decorating isn’t a concern for the void as there’s not much that can really go there anyway.

    Definitely want to future proof it, yeah. I’m not married to 30 amp delivery to it, just used that as a reference point.

    NEC requires 2 different 20 amp circuits for counter top use, 15 amps is not allowed,

    That I didn’t know (or rather, haven’t read yet). Current ones are on 15 amp circuits, so I was going by that (not that previous owners seemed too concerned with “code” LOL).










  • Tesseract (t.lemmy.world) both badges and lets you filter new accounts. You can configure the number of a days an account is considered “new” from 1 to 30 days. Anything that’s filtered will be shown as a stub/collapsed item in the feed.

    In the upcoming release (delayed due to personal issues but in progress), you can completely hide content from new accounts (versus just collapsing it) among other filters.

    Additionally, (in the upcoming release) it will automatically hide content from users less than a week old who have deleted their accounts. This feature is a direct response to this “hit it and quit it” nonsense from the accounts you’re describing.





  • Check your web access logs for these 3 IPs:

    • 134.19.178.167
    • 213.152.162.5
    • 134.19.179.211

    And see if they’re making repeated un-scoped (no page paramater) requests to /api/v3/comment/list. If they are, block them in your firewall.

    Those used to hit my instance constantly with requests like /api/v3/comment/list?sort=Old&page=16514 (yes, page 16,414). When I blocked those IPs making those requests, problem solved.


  • Tesseract used to have that same bug. To fix it, I now poll /api/v3/federated_instances at startup and save those to a lookup variable. Before localizing a community, user, post, or comment link, it checks to see if the domain is to a known federated instance by looking for it in the list of federated instances.

    There may be other ways to solve that problem, but that was what I went with. Bonus is it doesn’t require any extra network calls beyond the one to fetch the list of federated instances at startup.
