@nitter created quite some spam today

What happened there?

reply
130 sats \ 4 replies \ @ek 2 Jan 2025

disk full, so it couldn't save that it already posted 🙈

I need to prevent that this happens again by querying the SN API if it already replied instead of writing it into a local sqlite3 database and querying it.

Glad you caught it before spending too many sats to post. Do you have a limit to not post more than once per minute minutes per thread to avoid a 10 sat post fee?

reply
20 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 2 Jan 2025

Not really, @nitter would have happily posted every minute.

But fortunately we added very recently a constraint in the database which prevents that someone can reply the exact same text to the same post within 10m.

We added that because @bief57 was cursed with duplicate items and now it saved me from losing a few thousand sats lol

Thank goodness you fixed it, the duplicate comments were destroying me haha

Using someone else as your persistence layer. One of my favorite tricks lol

Interesting to see these numbers, do we get more facts about SN? And where to find them?
