Yea, it's a constant battle. FWIW - try getting the important people onto signal. I use molly client and it has its own mechanism to sync messages in real time, or at least close enough to real time that I haven't noticed.

One of the unexpected benefits of running grapheneos is that shit like whatsapp can't cope without having play services available and, as such, doesn't really do real time notifications. It still checks in every now and then, but that's definitely bettee than it working "properly".

Fully agree with the sentiment, but the blog post itself is kinda crap. All it really says is - hey, we're overcomplicating things, but subscribe to my rss for when I actually start talking about it!

My god. Per-call charges should really cease existing. If it'a number of support calls that's making you money and not the product - your product sucks.

EXACTLY! I mean I'm coming from a sysadmin side, but I've definitely been spoilt by all the manpages, flexibility, stability, etc of foss. It's insane how some vendors can ship a product with pretty much no logging and call it a day.

I carry the attitude that withholding the fact they suck is being selfish and ignorant. How else are they supposed to improve? 😁

Yea, my first thought was along simular lines - there are many issues that had built up over years of negligence.

Leaving a builder account enabled after build has completed is a fairly big oversight.

A bunch of obnoxious little shits. I think lemmy populace took them as far-right wing assholes, but I think that wasn't actually right. They simply acted as spoilt kids during puberty.

This is not the first time you've asked this very same thing nor had the same exact answer - no need to be smug about it.
Tell me what's the difference between me not being able to say where you're connecting from via tor vs me not being able to say where you're connecting from to the hidden service.

I've always wanted to archive stuff, but storage costs keep getting in the way. Any idea if there's some trick people use to get around it? I'd love me a tape robot, but that's stupid expensive.

I'm still excited. I've probably used it long enough to simply not miss autocorrect. And it does multilingual bit very well!

Lemmy itself is bound to its url. Shoving cafe fully into tor would simply break federation.
Having just a proxy in tor - honestly - don't see the point. You can already access cafe via tor.
Everything went through smoothly, but please do report if you notice anything.

I saw "fall off" and immediately thought of this aussie gold 😁
### Lemmy Cafe will be having its database upgraded. #### Reasons - PostgreSQL 17 has been released and the changelog is promising a lot of IO improvements. Lemmy sure could use it given the constant stream of small events flowing in. #### Plan - Point `nginx` to the maintenance page - Shut down PostgreSQL 16 - Run the upgrade tool - Start up PostgreSQL 17 - Point `nginx` to lemmy #### Expected downtime About an hour, if things go well. More if not so. Will try to keep the maintenance page updated.

Admittedly, I have a fairly serious bias against Microsoft, so it's unlikely they'll every say much I can trust; but I am genuinely surprised their marketing department didn't even bother coming up with another name to try selling this atrocity.
Due to the recent [@Soup](https://lemmy.cafe/u/Soup)'s [post](https://lemmy.cafe/post/8171645) I have decided to do some housekeeping. I've been getting frustrated at lemmy's performance at times as well and this simply was a wake up call, if you will. I am sorry about no advance downtime annoucement - Sunday is the only day I can really put any meaningful amount of time into lemmy. ___ Things done today: - Upgraded `database` VM 1 core 2GB -> 2 cores 4GB. Double the compute, double the memory. - Adjusted database config to account for increased resources - Adjusted `hugepages` config to account for increased database's requests - Updated both lemmy and database VMs - Rebooted the lot ___ Thank you for your patience. I will also use this moment of focus to write up a financial report in a separate post. Also, thank you, [@Soup](https://lemmy.cafe/u/Soup)! ___ EDIT: I've also marked all instances known to lemmy.cafe as active. What this means is that lemmy.cafe will now keep retrying to federate to *everything* very aggressively. This is a compute-intensive process and will also impact performance for a few hours, until [exponential backoff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff) kicks in. I've done it to revive any falsely-marked-as-dead instances; there's no fix for it on lemmy itself.

[Archive link](https://archive.ph/k06Pd) An interesting read. I don't fully agree with the following statement: > And like the proverbial lunatic who tries the same thing over and over thinking he might get a different result, U.S. policymakers never seem to learn the right lessons, he argued. The context here is all the attempts at regime change in the Middle East. I think there's a good chance the regime was just an excuse enabling the military industry to keep moving forward.
