Ever since the browser frontend switcher was introduced in
de64c6c54a /akkoma counts as
an API prefix and thus gets skipped by frontend plugs
breaking the old swagger ui path of /akkoma/swagger-ui.
Do the simple thing and change the frontend path to
/pleroma/swaggerui which isn't an API path and can't collide
with frontend user paths given pleroma is areserved nickname.

Multiple profiles can be specified as a space-separated list
and the possibility of additional profiles is explicitly brought up
in ActivityStream spec
Not _yet_ supported as of exiftool 12.87, though
at first glance it seems like standard BMP files
can't store any metadata besides colour profiles
Fixes the specific case from
https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma-fe/issues/396
although the frontend shouldn’t get bricked regardless.
Fragments are already always stripped anyway
so listing one specific fragment here is
unnecessary and potentially confusing.
This effectively reverts

but keeps the added bridgy testcase.
We’ve received reports of some specific instances slowly accumulating
more and more binary data over time up to OOMs and globally setting
ERL_FULLSWEEP_AFTER=0 has proven to be an effective countermeasure.
However, this incurs increased cpu perf costs everywhere and is
thus not suitable to apply out of the box.
Apparently long-lived Phoenix websocket processes are known to
often cause exactly this by getting into a state unfavourable
for the garbage collector.
Therefore it seems likely affected instances are using timeline
streaming and do so in just the right way to trigger this. We
can tune the garbage collector just for websocket processes
and use a more lenient value of 20 to keep the added perf cost
in check.
Testing on one affected instance appears to confirm this theory

Ever since 364b6969eb
this setting wasn't used by the backend and a noop.
The stated usecase is better served by setting the base_url
to a local subdomain and using proxying in nginx/Caddy/...
Websites are increasingly getting more bloated with tricks like inlining content (e.g., CNN.com) which puts pages at or above 5MB. This value may still be too low.
Rich Media parsing was previously handled on-demand with a 2 second HTTP request timeout and retained only in Cachex. Every time a Pleroma instance is restarted it will have to request and parse the data for each status with a URL detected. When fetching a batch of statuses they were processed in parallel to attempt to keep the maximum latency at 2 seconds, but often resulted in a timeline appearing to hang during loading due to a URL that could not be successfully reached. URLs which had images links that expire (Amazon AWS) were parsed and inserted with a TTL to ensure the image link would not break.
Rich Media data is now cached in the database and fetched asynchronously. Cachex is used as a read-through cache. When the data becomes available we stream an update to the clients. If the result is returned quickly the experience is almost seamless. Activities were already processed for their Rich Media data during ingestion to warm the cache, so users should not normally encounter the asynchronous loading of the Rich Media data.
Implementation notes:
- The async worker is a Task with a globally unique process name to prevent duplicate processing of the same URL
- The Task will attempt to fetch the data 3 times with increasing sleep time between attempts
- The HTTP request obeys the default HTTP request timeout value instead of 2 seconds
- URLs that cannot be successfully parsed due to an unexpected error receives a negative cache entry for 15 minutes
- URLs that fail with an expected error will receive a negative cache with no TTL
- Activities that have no detected URLs insert a nil value in the Cachex :scrubber_cache so we do not repeat parsing the object content with Floki every time the activity is rendered
- Expiring image URLs are handled with an Oban job
- There is no automatic cleanup of the Rich Media data in the database, but it is safe to delete at any time
- The post draft/preview feature makes the URL processing synchronous so the rendered post preview will have an accurate rendering
Overall performance of timelines and creating new posts which contain URLs is greatly improved.
This lets us:
- avoid issues with broken hash indices for PostgreSQL <10
- drop runtime checks and legacy codepaths for <11 in db search
- always enable custom query plans for performance optimisation
PostgreSQL 11 is already EOL since 2023-11-09, so
in theory everyone should already have moved on to 12 anyway.
Logger output being visible depends on user configuration, but most of
the prints in mix tasks should always be shown. When running inside a
mix shell, it’s probably preferable to send output directly to it rather
than using raw IO.puts and we already have shell_* functions for this,
let’s use them everywhere.
Pruning can go on for a long time; give admins some insight into that
something is happening to make it less frustrating and to make it easier
which part of the process is stalled should this happen.
Again most of the changes are merely reindents;
review with whitespace changes hidden recommended.
May sometimes be helpful to get more predictable runtime
than just with an age-based limit.
The subquery for the non-keep-threads path is required
since delte_all does not directly accept limit().
Again most of the diff is just adjusting indentation, best
hide whitespace-only changes with git diff -w or similar.
This gives feedback when to stop rerunning limited batches.
