I’m absolutely guilty of self-documenting code, but mostly because I’m sick of everyone else’s lying comments.

I knew I read something was kept for 6 months ;)

Glad to see that even here, the best way to get the right answer on the internet is to provide a wrong one.

IIRC, I’ve read comments elsewhere that pictrs caches for 6 months, but I can’t independently verify. I hope this gets a broader answer because I’m still on the fence about getting an instance set up for myself and some small communities.

It seems to be unrelated or not entirely related to tagging. I’m getting unblurred posts in new that are flagged nsfw when viewed at the same on a web browser.

OP, MUDs are a real treat if you’ve never experienced them, but you want to find a good, active, sane one. I highly recommend Discworld MUD, even if you’re not familiar with the Discworld book series. I’ve been there on and off since the late 90s. It’s amazing how much love this game still gets from admins and creators, and it’s 100% free to play.

I’ve worked on a commercial project that started with nothing but domain knowledge and perseverance. The end result was hideous and inefficient, but it was enough to get a successful company started. It’s the ugliest code I’ve ever seen, but it’s hard to argue with results. At least in this case, domain knowledge was more important than any software engineering ability would have been.
