To add to this a bit: I am planning on using AutoTier from 45Drives to get tiered storage for pixelfed.

New stuff on high endurance SSDs, and old pics end up on spinning rust. This would end up being ~10TB of SSD and ~50TB of HDD

Only blocker is getting the time to really test it and make sure everyone’s data doesn’t get blackholed. Our home situation has been really challenging for the last ~6 months due to personal reasons.

Hate.

Additionally, fascists need these safe spaces to convince themselves that their opinions are the majority. They don’t feel emboldened to act otherwise.

This is wishful thinking. The heritage foundation knows what they are doing.

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.

“They” include a shocking number of good people that are about to experience fascism against their will. Please don’t dance on the grave of victims.

By not voting for harris in FPTP, you assist trump, the only other viable alternative.

This includes not voting.

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

The troll is pushing the usual current 3rd party vote bullshit. Either they are incalculably dense or they will be gone after the US election. Make of that what you will.

It makes sense if you are a telecom company that refuses to upgrade infrastructure to handle more subscribers.

So… Findom?

It’s ADHD bait. When I am on my meds, I get a dopamine hit every time I progress or solve something.

That superstition unfortunately gets a lot of sweet cats killed or neglected.

I’ve had one apart and to be fair they are not carelessly made. They’re jacketed in soft silicone under the braid and have thicker than average stranded conductors. You can totally use whatever cables you want, but theirs are built a little better than you’d think and they just feel nice.

Maybe this is a tactile/autism thing for me?

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.

I am also of the same mind personally. It’s just the admin that’s such a huge issue.

We had a samsung 4k curved tv that has ads on the input menu, and the ad space is filled with a samsung ad if the set has never connected to the internet.

It also harasses you with a pop up about connecting occasionally on startup.

It’s bearable but absurd. We returned it on principle

As someone with some insight: furries tend to have body dysphoria. They really don’t feel great about their body and want escapism.

Personally I had a very “you are dirty and disgusting” type upbringing from my christian parents that thought shame would be a good motivator.
