This basically shuts my idea down

it’s not very difficult to modify the code for something like this… and closing off registration wont’ let anyone else login and create new content form your istance.

Personally the load on the major servers by having one more instance that subscribes to everything is why I think people should back off from creating more than the 1500 instances Lemmy network already has. Delivery of every single vote, comment, post 24 hours a day just so one person can read content for an hour or two a day.

That makes sense for email systems where all that content doesn’t have to be sent, but for Lemmy it’s a huge amount of overhead.

Keep in mind that you’re going to be retrieving and storing a huge amount of data running these scripts

And you are adding to the overload of lemmy.world, beehaw, lemmy.ml, etc who have all the popular content communities. Federation has a lot of overhead, as does having to distribute a community one vote at a time to 500 subscribed servers.

pend my time on Lemmy scrolling “All”, which I think is a pretty common thing.

There was a lot of advice handed out back in June that the answer to scaling Lemmy was to go create instances. The reason it works is because “All” is empty on a virgin system ;) With no data in the database, the logic Lemmy hands to PostgreSQL works real fast ;)

The real war is hate media memes and messages that trickle down to those obedient to voices from the clouds, electric voices these days. In the old days, books that said burning bushes gave out signals.

I use that periodically to compare feeds, and like I said sometimes a post or comment is missing, actually I often see a comment that looks like it’s responding to a another comment, but I cannot see the parent comment.

There have been bugs in Lemmy not sending comment deletes to all the instances. And lemmy.world and lemmy.ml were not communicating fro Saturday through Tuesday. Lemmy.world had some significant outages. It gets pretty tricky to track down and identify exact causes while things are unstable.

s in the past hour

Since Saturday lemmy.ml and lemmy.world were not sending content correctly. The problem seems cleared up now.

the module can cause intermittent stuttering, depending on which Ryzen processor you’re using. It appeared when the fTPM was in use, it would access its flash storage via a serial interface, and when doing so, held up activity by the rest of the system.

Nolan pushed the limit of IMAX projectors with Interstellar run time in 2014, he went out of his way to find out what the maximum that could be done with platter modifications, an extra 20 minutes.

we could all just vote for people that aren’t corrupt

Audiences who flock to liars and deceivers seems to be trending in bad direction. Business leaders, politicians. What Cambridge Analytica unleashed as mass psychology tactics in 2014 may be very difficult to undo.

corrupt… or at least, yet!

Things like term limits seemed to help stop some of the problems of people corrupting once they got into positions of power. But now it seems crowds of more and more people are choosing pre-corrupted, cheering on corruption.

There are so many trends with technology that seem to favor another 1930’s Europe situation. The 1940 film “The Great Dictator” describes it pretty well, and it is sad how much love and compassion seem to be out of favor as people march more and more towards mechanized hate-driven systems of society. I really hope a pro-humanism civil rights movement takes hold, like Martin Luther King Jr’s kind of teaching, but it seems to not happen that a popular person like that comes to the top. Even a Carl Sagan type person with mass popularity to much of what Sagan shared in his books and speeches would be a good direction.

If I understand correctnly… Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS has 5.19 kernel by default: https://9to5linux.com/ubuntu-22-04-2-lts-released-with-linux-kernel-5-19-updated-components “the Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS point release also comes with a newer kernel, namely Linux 5.19, from the Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) release”

As you said, if it is only 6.2, still out of the window.

You are speaking as someone who is home, transportation, and water secure. Someone with a marginally less stable life

Exactly. I’m in Arizona right now and it’s incredibly hot with no break from the heat. Equipment overheating is a real issue, my development computers and phones have all had problems.

FYI, some major PostgreSQL optimization has been found with the stored procedures: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3704

This should really help with Beehaw and other sites that have local users creating posts and comments, as the runaway site_aggregates queries were creating unnecessary writes.

Lemmy is written in Rust, I don’t think any other ActivePub platform uses Rust.

Up until early July, Lemmy was damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Federation had massive performance overhead due to some bugs and each additional instance that went online and subscribed to the big 4 popular servers was causing an even worse load problem than if say 30 users had joined directly. Especially instances that wanted a fully populated All listing, that meant every single thing was being sent to the server even if nobody was really reading that stuff.

And things like searching for topic content are going to be pretty limited given these newer servers don’t have much history.

The aftermath of this attempt to scale is that there is also likely a lot of duplicate data, conversations that are mostly repetitive and posts to the same topics. Let alone the bugs Lemmy has federating deletes and moderation removal that doesn’t impact direct users on the main servers as much.

posts I create on lemmy.secondpartysoftware.com don’t show up on the others.

your server isn’t going to send copies to other servers unless an account on that remote server subscribes. You said you created a new community, nobody is going to be subscribed.

The interesting thing about Snowden to me after 10 years is how few times I see the public think about how low-level staff with hardware-level access can bypass all command and control decisions. He was a contractor who just wholesale scooped data off the servers. Nearly 10 years later… Jack Teixeira leaks documents because he has server access to documents outside his immediate need too.

I think a lot of organizations really don’t see how vulnerable they are to deliberate attacks and theft - if the NSA can’t protect their data 10 years ago, do you really think your mobile phone network provider or these VPN companies are not subject to internal staff selling off data, etc?
