hi!
first up, driftlet now has a website. check out driftlet.xyz for future updates and announcements.
bonus: we’ve also got a docker image now. more details in the announcement here.
also we still don’t have docs so don’t believe the website. you will be rick rolled.

speaking of passwords, i wasted way too much time debugging why i couldn’t log into my own instance so i kept resetting my password over and over, and nothing worked. turns out my username had changed and i completely forgot about it. turns out, it was set to the header. no idea why or how, but there it was.
the fun part is that i built this whole system where if the db password field is set to reset, it automatically resets the password and it works fine, i even set it up with proper recovery.
anyways, none of that mattered because the actual issue was just the username being different. so yeah, two hours lost on something i could’ve solved in ten seconds if i checked the username field.
soooo i might add a forgot username flow too at this point.
that’s all,
ryana
