I misremembered, it does support Python 3. Also it seems like Codespeed is still used to this day by Python, via their own fork (but most of the differences are the changes for their own environment).

In 2016-2019 I used Codespeed for this (with some custom modifications), but it is still Python 2, hasn't been maintained for years, and was a rather custom solution.

I'm hoping to use some more standard components this time round.

Looks like the goal was to add a checksum, and the option they chose was GMAC (implemented as AES-GCM with empty plaintext).
Handling of corrupt Retry packets · Issue #3014 · quicwg/base-drafts
Retry packet does not have a checksum (e.g., CRC32, AEAD tag), and therefore is fragile to accidental bit flips that happen on the wire. Are we fine with that? I ask this, because it seems to me th...

Do you know if this was a regression? Because I'm almost certain there was spam labelling for silent facet tagging in the past.

Aww, but what if the person I'm tagging with a silent facet has *asked* for the spam?

To compare with another ecosystem:

Most cryptocurrencies have no privacy because their transaction graph is public. Wallet clustering analyses are similar to what For You is doing!

Zcash's privacy arises from the fact that the transaction graph within each Zcash shielded pool is explicitly hidden.

Centralised social networks emulate privacy by gating access to data. The graph is there, but you aren't allowed to access all of it (though data breaches do happen).

Bluesky intentionally defends against gating with its design, in order to be "billionaire-proof", but that has privacy implications.

The mechanism and spring both sit around the nib/inkwell tube. Without that, I imagine you could shrink down the OD, and/or have the spring be in the middle instead of pushing against the edges.

You could also get tighter braille dots by staggering the mechanisms with longer/shorter adjacent stems.

Or what if each dot used the same click-to-toggle mechanism as a ball-point pen: press to raise, press again to flatten? Would be a question of whether the mechanical design can be miniaturised while retaining strength.

If you squint, "different apps" in Bluesky is close to "individual islands" in Mastodon from the front. The "without everything" is the key part: the data and app are decoupled here, so "choose your app" can be an easier and more rapid / fluid process than "choose your instance" is in the Fediverse.
