<p>Currently, going to lobste.rs/replies will give you this message:</p> <pre><code>2020-12-03: We recently migrated the database and this feature hammers this db config, so it's unavailable until we can sort that out. Sorry for the hassle. - Peter </code></pre> <p>Having looked at the code, the query in question is definitely a hefty one.</p> <p>I've looked at ways of optimizing it and all that, as have I'm sure people smarter than I. I'm sure it's doable, but it's a matter of how much time it would take and how much of the rest of the codebase would need to change.</p> <p>No rush, as I realize we all enjoy this community for free, but is there an update on the plan to get it fixed? I (and I'm sure others) would be happy to help out in whatever way we could.</p> <p>PS> And, again, thank you to everyone involved in keeping lobste.rs running. It is without a doubt the best tech link aggregator and discussion site out there.</p>

<p>I've been using Stow for a few years now. At the time (2020) Stow had a bug where it would just fail with a cryptic error and the maintainer didn't have time to fix it, the bug was there for 2 years or so. So I got fed up and decided to try and fix it but I didn't know perl nor did I want to learn it, so I decided to rewrite Stow and fix the issue. To fix it I decided that I track all symlinks and give users a nice way to see what was going on. So the entire project was based on having a nice <code>tuckr status</code> command.</p> <p>Over time the project expanded, people asked for more things that it couldn't do before. But I didn't like nor want to have configuration files for your configurations. So I've borrowed a bit from Go and Odin's suffix idiom and some other tools here and there. I feel like the current known bugs are no longer a big deal and for most users, the tool just works.</p> <p>I've been using Tuckr to manage my own dotfiles for 5 years now without any major hickups, so I'm posting it here now to get some feedback. You can check the <code>0.13.0</code> milestone to see what are the known bugs, you're unlikely to run into them unless you're trying to be too smart.</p>
