Should connection to the DB be always open or should I only open it when I need it?
@wowaname A script that parses the Mastodon profile static UI and saves every user and status it find into a DB
@matrix keeping db open is probably fine. sqlite db or something else?
@wowaname
Yeah. It's just SQLite. Should I do deduplication with the DB or in code? I want to make it multithreaded, so I think it's probably easier to just have the DB handle it.
yes i said fedi's ephemeral but theres the pyromaniac inside me calling this a good idea
