@CobaltVelvet is this good news?
@alan_butler well, neutral. mastodon requires a lot of resources and our servers are reasonably good but get very busy sometimes. that's one of the times
@CobaltVelvet datsalottaswap
lol there's a SECRET_KEY right under that
@CobaltVelvet is key rotation a meme
@CobaltVelvet one of my favorite password rotation causing events was when a ruby/rails/oracle webapp fucked up so badly it shit out the database password in a user-visible error message's stacktrace, the database password that was specified separately from the connection string
like, to this day i don't know what possibly happened there. near as i could tell, c binding version mismatch caused the runtime to just... detonate all over
@CobaltVelvet I don't know a thing about command line interfaces except that I become mildly aroused by a terminal progress bar
