Today in the Kitchen at Cake HQ:
Its been a while! We've switched to our own in-house Mastodon library, bringing better reliability and control. Mastodon also gets quoting support, lists, a brand new streaming backend and API V2 uploads. Telegram picks up topics support, a shared media buffer, and library updates.

@app thanks very much for this. I'm hearing "stream connection lost" quite often. Is this normal?

TweeseCake 3d ago

@techsinger Could be an issue with either your connection or the instance. We're on the same instance as you are here and don't see that message.

Tech Singer 3d ago

@app Also, if I may ask, is there a way to stop that message from being spoken? If it goes down it goes down, but I assume it will come up again.

TweeseCake 3d ago

@techsinger as of this current moment, no.

Tech Singer 3d ago

@app thanks very much. Something weird, though. I put "stream connection lost" in my NVDA dictionary and it's still saying it. Also, it's not in my speech history for NVDA. Do you have any ideas on this?

TweeseCake 3d ago

@techsinger NVDA's gotten kind of weird about things that it actually passes through the dictionary now adays. It used to be that anything that was spoken was passed through, now that's not always the case.

@app Again, thanks for the answers. One more question. I have disabled streaming. I've never done that before. What should I expect?

TweeseCake 3d ago

@techsinger Posts might just come in on a small delay.

Tech Singer 3d ago

@app wtf? I think I'm losing it. I just heard it say "stream connection lost" again. Is it possible that it's doing that despite streaming having been disabled and my having restarted?

TweeseCake 3d ago

@techsinger Wait a sec. Could another app on your system possibly be doing that?

TweeseCake 3d ago

@techsinger Hahaha. You're running FastSM, and that's what's doing it. I just looked and TC's code doesn't say stream connection lost anywhere, FastSM's does.

Tech Singer 3d ago

@app genius. There's no other word. Pure genius. Sorry to have disturbed. Just to show you the stupidity of the user, I was running SM on my 10 machine and TC on my Windows 7 machine. I didn't know which was saying it, obviously. Talk about bad timing. Again,
sorry to have disturbed

TweeseCake 3d ago

@techsinger Hahahahahaha! I'm very amused.

Tech Singer 3d ago

@app Oh, and another thing, just FYI. I can now launch TC on Windows 7 seemingly without VXKex. The checkboxEnable VxKex for this program is off, but it's working without issue so far as I can see.

TweeseCake 3d ago

@techsinger What in the world, how odd. I have no explanation for that currently.

Tech Singer 3d ago

@app Whenever you have a minute, could you be good enough to launch the timeline for mastodon.stickbear.me many of the posts in that timeline are not announced as you go alt+win+up/down through the timeline. I have no clue why. Are you seeing this?

TweeseCake 3d ago

@techsinger These are boosts from users. I believe this is a bug.

@app However, this is a boost of an account I follow.
