buying an obscure-ish textbook in 2026 is weird

amazon has a number of third party booksellers who have it in stock. spoiler: none of them have it in stock. whoever you buy from orders it from whichever print-on-demand service the publisher has a license agreement with (eg ingram), who's probably going to ship it directly to you after printing. the nominal sellers are just competing on what cut they take on top to do.. pretty much fuck all. (handle customer service conversations i guess?)

was playing around with postgres queries yesterday trying to optimize bunnypaws stats queries. just noticed that one of the queries, having timed out at the psql, had continued running on the server side.

for the last 24 hours.

only noticed because i opened htop for another reason and noticed postgresql was pinning a core to 100%

probably not gonna use that one

so it turns out all slash commands in a group are sent to all bots in that group. which is surprising because you register the bot as being able to handle specific commands. but that's apparently purely for the autocomplete ui and doesn't act as a filter? seems kinda jank

anyway that's why my log files are full of `DEBG fallback: received update type=command "citrussy"`
