As I run all my sbot instances with replicate.legacy=false I like this module.

However, the installation instructions didn't work for me: It created the file ~/.ssb/node_modules/ssb-ebt-only.js, but sbot complained that it couldn't find it.

I ended up renaming the file as ~/.ssb/node_modules/ssb-ebt-only/index.js, created a minimum package.json with one dependency only, pull-stream, ran npm install, edited the config and restarted sbot.

My only grief is that I now have even more stacktrace spam in my syslog:

Wouldn't it be possible to have just the error message and lose the stacktrace? I don't speak js, but the equivalent in python would be:

try:
    pull()
except Exception as e:
    print(e, file=sys.stderr)

(I have config.logging.level = "error";.)
