I recently discovered an online game hosted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Each day there's a set of 10 objects with anywhere from 1 to 10 photos and you're asked to identify the place from which they come & their approximate age on a timeline, with up to 5,000 points each for location & date. If you guess the opposite side of the world you might get 2 points out of 5k (as I did today) but despite my ignorance I usually total 60k-70k. You might enjoy it! https://anthropeum.com/.

Hello pals, here's the first release candidate for version 0.22.0 of #GoToSocial:

https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.22.0-rc1

Admins who are feeling adventurous or desperate for the new stuff can try out this release candidate at their leisure.

As always, please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version, in particular note that there are several config file changes that need to be addressed when you're updating from a previous version of GoToSocial to this version, and there are some quite long database migrations as well.

Release highlights

• Relay support: GoToSocial now supports subscribing to relays (as an admin action), and pushing posts to relays (configured per-user, with filters available).
  Documentation for admin-level relay subscriptions.
  Documentation for user-level relays pushes.
• Automated cleanup of old remote posts: you can now configure your instance to clean up threads of remote statuses that haven't been interacted with by anyone on your instance. This should save a lot of space in folks' databases!
  Documentation for post caching + pruning.
• Delivery error tracking for remote instances: there's now a page in the settings panel where admin can view errors encountered while attempting delivery of posts to instances that may be experiencing technical difficulties or may have gone offline. You can use this to get a quick view on possible "dead" instances that you can then remove from your database with a domain block.
• Accounts directory: there's a new setting to allow admins to expose (or not) a directory of accounts on the instance! Your account will only be shown in the directory if you opt in via your privacy settings.
  Documentation for inclusion in account directory.
• Better tracking of deleted statuses/status tombstones: GtS now stores tombstones for deleted statuses, allowing threads to remain intact even when a status in the middle of the thread has been deleted.
• Better status codes + info pages on deleted or hidden statuses: the old 404 page when you try to open a hidden status in the browser has been replaced with a more informative error page.
• Way more configurable http server + client options: we've exposed a whole shitload of settings that you can tweak on the HTTP client + HTTP server that GoToSocial uses. We don't recommend changing these, but if you really want to, now you can.
• Show your Träwelling status on your profile by setting your Träwelling page as a field value, similar to how our ListenBrainz integration already works.
• Allow setting a name for your tokens, and sorting tokens by last used time in the token view of the settings page. Should make it a lot easier to track which tokens you've created, and when they were used by which apps!
• Better layout for web view of profiles that hide all posts from the web: it just uses a single-column view now.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ This release contains a long-ass database migration to move status boolean columns (like pinned, local, etc) to a single bitfield column. This saves a lot of space in the database, but it also means on startup the migration has to iterate through all statuses in your database and set the new field. Please be patient and don't interrupt this process! ⚠️⚠️⚠️

@Postgres users: Following the migration, if you encounter slowdown on Postgres specifically (ie., timing out while loading home timeline) you may need to regenerate your Postgres visibility map. Please check our Postgres database maintenance documentation for steps on how to do this using the psql tool.

Thanks for reading <3

Finally, we are also publishing a print version of our documentation. If you prefer this over a website, give it a go! Both it and our documentation website are now built using Typst. And the website even uses the new bundle export!

To learn how to use these new features, read our release blog post at https://typst.app/blog/2026/typst-0.15. If you are using our web app, it will suggest upgrading projects the next time you open them. To learn how to migrate existing projects, review the migration guide in our changelog.

Further improvements in Typst 0.15 include support for maths in HTML using MathML, providing more tools to fix the dreaded "layout did not converge within five attempts" warning, fixing longstanding issues with list layout, and more.

And a single PDF document exported by Typst can now comply with multiple PDF standards. Optimize for long-term storage (e.g. PDF/A-2a) and universal accessibility (PDF/UA-1) at the same time.

Documents can now also contain more than one bibliography: You can create bibliographies by chapter or, using multiple reference files, by topic. You can also use selectors to customize which reference goes where.

But typeface design is not the only thing you can have more of. With the new, experimental bundle export, a single Typst file can produce multiple output files. Use this to build your website from a single Typst project.

We added support for variable fonts: Using a variable font, you can customize weight, stretch, and more of a typeface design beyond what presets fonts usually come with. We also added many variable fonts to our web app.

This is such a long-standing issue that I had a long argument about this with one of the original RMSDK devs on Twitter fifteen years ago. They kept trying to convince me that the spec-violating behaviour was somehow better or had valid reasons.

Anyway, once again as someone who is now outside of academia, I maintain that _THE_ most interesting intellectual discourse is happening outside of academia, often in newsletters and podcasts. A lot of people with the most interesting or thoughtful or well researched intellectual projects are ex-academics or failed PhDs. They are adjacent to the world of academia but not in it. I feel like a perfect example of what I'm talking about is the Know Your Enemy podcast.
