Ease of cross-compiling is really one of my favorite things about Rust. It can run anywhere with little coaxing needed.

You don’t even need to know how to use it very well, in my experience.

the main bottleneck with Lemmy seems to be the database performance, so with both projects depending on PostgreSQL

Postgres being a bottleneck is a first for me. Not saying it’s not possible, just… It’s postgres. Wondering if it’s more an issue with ORM, etc.

using Python

Full disclosure: I like Python a lot and have written a lot of it.

That said, if not for my recent work experiences, I would be absolutely horrified at the idea of using Python for such a project. Between the type system and being interpreted, the performance and runtime issues are pretty painful. That and the historical greater dependence on external application servers really makes Python-based services something that really sucks to administer.

However, as I noted, I have also recently seen Python performing far faster than it has any right to with highly-optimized use of multi-processing and offloading the server stuff to Go.

I think I’m going to have to take a look at Piefed source this weekend.

An unfortunately small number of venues which clearly would be in the public interest to be publicly-owned are actually publicly-owned. A huge percentage, in fact, are owned by the Ticketmaster vertically-integrated monopoly that forces entertainers to use their venues and scammy ticketing system (they enable scalpers so that they can get an extra cut) by threatening blacklisting of any who don’t play ball.

Svalboard. Not am EMACS user (it’s a fine editor/Lisp interpreter) but, even nice mechkb isn’t necessarily going to prevent RSI or exacerbation of existing conditions. Best to change to a text-entry device that is designed with humans in mind.

Fedora Atomic has been working nicely on my personal laptop. Anything funky, I tend to run in a VM w/ libvirt (KVM/QEMU) or a container. Makes it quicker to fix if I break something.

About to get?

I don’t work at OpenAI so, I’m not implementing anything that would change it. I prefer to keep practicing my critical thinking, programming, and creative skills and there is no ethical model to use so, I’ll continue not to use it, for the most part.

Ouch. Have you tried simply being born insanely wealthy? /s

It is a matter of priorities. In my experience, while saving in financial costs, tiering between HDD and SSD frequently comes at great sanity/frustration cost for those maintaining it. It can make sense commercially if there’s a team (internal or external) to take care of things going sideways.

Agreed. I’ve been planning on building a home NAS and really wish SSDs were already there.

Storage tiering between HDD and SSD has always been a nightmare and generally worth just avoiding.

In this case, it’s a feature of the language that enables developers to implement greater amounts of parallelism. So, the developers of the Python-based application will need to refactor to take advantage of it.

It’s also, I find, much more widely supported on a wider variety of hardware and with easier config automation.

Not really. They were going that way but backpedaled after having it made clear that they’re never going to be BambuLab. I have a K1C. It gives root with an on-screen disclaimer. The only real challenge is that it overwrites everything when updating. It’s Linux though, so, if I spend the time, once I setup my home server, I should be able to automate reloading the config.

Criticizing an Arab for voting for a Jew is peak antisemitism.

Know how I can tell that you are not communicating in good faith? Take a guess.

Would you care to explain how Stein’s religion, which I neither know about nor care about, is at all relevant? Or how disliking her as a politician, as well as human being, for her links to oligarchs and consistent lack of plausible effort to improve the US through political means has anything to do with what you suggest her religion is? Because claiming that involvement in that shit is stems from judaism seems pretty damn antisemitic of yourself (none of my hebros are inclined to associate with authoritarian dictators and I’d wager that they do more to affect positive change in their communities than she has in her lifetime).

Now, maybe you made some incorrect assumptions in a heated context. You can feel free to own up to that, if it is the case.

Oh. You voted for a different Putin puppet whose party has made no attempt to run a real campaign in the US and clearly (and vocally) had no intent on winning. Very helpful.

EDIT: Oh. I see that you are a tankie from the grad. Bad faith to be expected.

That would be reasonable. The people running these things aren’t reasonable. They ignore every established mechanism to communicate a lack of consent to their activity because they don’t respect others’ agency and want everything.
