Odd mastoadmin question:

Server running an older version of Mastodon (2.5.1, I think). All of a sudden, Puma (3.11) keeps locking up and causing Nginx to freak out. Puma gives a warning on startup about a slept ActiveRecord thread (but I am told I can ignore that) but is otherwise normal until it's suddenly unresponsive after what feels like a random period of time. This happens across both service restarts and system reboots. Any ideas? ("Upgrade Mastodon" is not a valid answer here, sorry.)

Ultimately, the solution I'm going with is filthy, but it works. The fstring is supposed to be a dict value in a list of dicts, and not every dict in the list is going to have this element be a random choice, so:

def rstring(s1, s2):
  def rfunc():
    return f"{s1} {random.choice(mylist)} {s2}"
  return rfunc()

and then if I need the choice, make the value equal to rstring("First part", "Second part") and then use type checking on output to see whether to use the raw string or to call the function.

Python question: I want a formatted string to contain a value randomly selected from a list. Is there a way to do this within the fstring so that the value is selected at call time rather than at compile time, or do I need to create a separate function to concatenate multiple fstrings and call that when I want to produce the final string?

I'm wearing long sleeves, long cuffs, and thick socks, and I still feel like I need to wrap myself in a blanket. What even is summer

I needed a blanket last night. ☃️
