american chopper meme, loopback upsetness

Tired, tired, all day long, but there's problems to solve, and things to do.

Shortlinks on @sotd have been rolled back! Thanks to @rjt for making me realize I solved the wrong problem!

@rjt I just realized I solved the wrong problem. The problem is the Mastodon link parsing includes the closing > that I wrap the links in 🤦‍♂️ I was very tired, and saw a linking issue and immediately assumed it was breaking the character limit. I'll roll it back when I'm more awake.

@sotd has been updated to use shortlinks! Unfortunately some URLs exceeded the character count, which meant some song links were getting cut off.

Also, sorry for the downtime with SOTDbot this weekend! My bots don't handle graceful reconnects at present. @sotd should resume tooting posthaste.

I went to see Deadpool 2 yesterday :) Was good. Also, got to use my Moviepass :)

Just a friendly reminder, if you make a bot that interacts with users, remember to respect #nobot directives in profiles :)

Just hooked up SOTDbot from the Tilde.town IRC to Masto :D @sotd will toot SOTD updates from townies, so you can listen along. :)
