Bazel Caching Explained (pt. 1): How Bazel Works
Before we dive into Bazel’s caching mechanism, let’s first go over how Bazel works and some of the underlying assumptions that it makes. The Build Graph Bazel is an artifact-first Build Tools. This means the user asks Bazel for an artifact and Bazel ...
Just in case anyone is interested in troubleshooting: here's the tracking issue https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20027
I correct myself. I declare at least my #Mastodon instance as annoying. So attaching an animated GIF worked and the preview showed the preview image. The feed doesn't show the gif. If I try to attach a different media type to the toot, it won't upload and show a 422 "cannot process thumb nail" although the latter is generated and stored on GCS. Well...
I declare #Mastodon officially exceptional! It also looks as if I fixed the "cannot attach media to my toots" issue on my instance by simply adding more compute power.
So I'm running my own #instance on #GoogleCloud and so far I am happy with the experience. My motivation was mostly to try it out, now I need to find out how expensive this setup is. Two things that still do not work properly: (1) uploading images/media to toots https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20027 and (2) search across other instances which i hope to fix by adding federation relays
One thing I am clearly missing so far is cross server search. I am sure I am not the only one working with #Bazel or other build styems, or interested in #CI or #reproducableBuilds. But hosting yourself on a dedicated server kind of limits the search scope it seems. I wonder if this means that the desired model for Mastodon is to join large servers dedicated to specific topics.
