    I’ll be dropping the femme expressions I used to love. It’s not safe, and now I have to “man up” and protect my family as best I can. Fascism is not a working system, and a lot of very good and vulnerable people are going to get targeted by bigots every time our undemocratic assholes need to distract from their failures.

    The next four years are going to be hell, and I have no idea what to do.




  • smug horse noises :3

    on a more serious note though, that database was running pretty old hardware and a fairly poor SSD. We also made some config changes to utilize ram a lot more effectively. I’m really glad it worked out because honestly we weren’t sure it was a hardware limitation or not.

    now that we’ve got the hardware problems fixed and node 2 back online, I’m probably going to start looking into hosting a pixelfed instance. Seems like a fun use of hardware :3









  • Not the person you responded to, but my m1 max macbook pro is used to dry run changes to my kubernetes cluster by running 4 virtual machines and networking them. My previous pc could pull it off fine, but my macbook can run a virtual cluster for hours on battery.

    Because of the unified memory, you can use all of your ram as video ram for the purposes of running a massive LLM if you want local AI. there’s a plugin I run for VScode that emulates github copilot but runs entirely on device and offline.

    Apple’s ARM implementation is really nice for getting a lot of specific work done. Mine spends most workdays docked and being used as my primary workstation.
