Its insider trading when they buy at the lowest point and sell when its back up because they knew of one or both of these events. Everyone knew it would crash. Everyone did not know he’d lift tarrifs at a specific time where the market would “recover”.

I would do a charge back with my bank / credit card. He didn’t get the goods or service he bought and it was because of the company so I’d say there is a chance. It also would hurt MSG a tiny bit.

I didn’t think of using read only replicas, that would probably be a very good way to go since its probably 80%+ of actions are reads. Thanks for answering, I am excited to see the how lemmy grows and thanks for all the devs hard work!

I 100% agree with this and there have been great strides since I started using Lemmy ~v0.17! That said at some point optimization will have lower returns and have a higher effort to put into and once a community grows extensively it likely might not be enough, so I was curious to what you guys were thinking at that point, something like Ctius for sharding postgres?

It is a k8s cluster and using ceph for all of my storage so the latency from that I bet is the largest reason and upping the memory offsets the disk writes. i also have another postgres DB syncing as a fallback for high availability. Fortunately after tuning the database and giving it enough RAM my instance has been running pretty stable for over a year without any changes.

I am also using less powerful computers for the entire infrastructure (not server grade) which brings to the point of having horizontal scaling on database I imagine will be a growing need with growing instances, communities, and users since it can be cheaper to run multiple smaller spec servers rather than a single with the added benefit of high availability.

Yeah I used pgtune as a base and found more memory needed to be assigned to certain spots especially to keep federation with bigger instances, otherwise timeouts would occur resulting in my instance being constantly behind.

That said I read postgres 17 is much more memory efficient, though I have yet to move my lemmy database to it yet since its the largest haha.

On the server perspective, I have a question, what are your thoughts for horizontal scaling on the database? This seems to be the biggest limitation and requiring higher spec hardware to scale especially for the bigger instances.

My tiny instance for example I give over 20GB of RAM just to postgres to make it perform efficient enough.

There is an issue open requesting this… I been following it for a while.

Issue #2631

Like that we are speedrunning to making Earth into Mars?

I imagine it’d make the business more expensive low orbit satelites slowly fall into the atmosphere and are supposed to burn up after a couple of years. I imagine with lower orbits that they’d fall sooner and you’d have to launch more to sustain your system which then produces more pollution and perpetuates the problem.

Edit article says more space junk and slower burning up in the atmosphere as an effect so that’s interesting. If it becomes a space junk graveyard I imagine satellites will more frequently get damaged by them and become junk themselves?

You got 20 years of dailies backlogged! All the FOMO on the seasons!

Yeah Tesla goes for range and has been caught lying about it being high. That being said Toyotas promise for theirs was Toyota bZ4X Battery To Retain 90% Capacity After 10 Years

If it lines musks profits it could be of interest right now I guess lol. Selling used teslas doesn’t transfer ownership of FSD and stuff so they have to rebuy it, and it could help resell value which buyers put in their decision, so I imagine it could be profitable? That said they are a bunch of idiots so probably not.

Their desktop version of office has more features than the cloud web versions so this doesn’t sound that bad. Also might mean the O365 small business license might be able to use a desktop client now instead of being web only.

Teslas have no QA. Teslas have lied about their advertised range. That said level 3 charging constantly can degrade it faster, data from the research I discussed in the last comment showed that a lot of miles but with no level 3 charging has a negligible affect.

Perhaps when selling an EV there could be an inspection or the manufacturer provide in the software a diagnostic on battery health for buyer awareness still.

Electric cars has less moving parts so it should wear out less as fast. Breaks are used less with regenitive breaking as well. Studies are showing batteries are degrading slower as tech advances, on average about 1.8℅ per year in 2024 from 2.3℅ in 2019. Battery lif e expectancy should be around 15-20 years.

Firefox does but I also am using a more private version so it doesn’t have google FCM push so it’d drain battery more and poll slower and generally I’ll need to see notifications ASAP when I enable it. Most of the time I don’t let outlook run though.

Notifications come to mind.

I always thought it was a bad idea for AWS to make the buckets unique globally. Attach the AWS account Id so it would always be unique, you can name a bucket whatever you want, and this attack vector wouldn’t be possible (unless if you are AWS I guess)

Outlook is my only offender… Kinda out of luck there.
