Yes, sorry, there was some serious lagg in fetching posts from Lemmy World that persisted for several days and accumulated a 1-week delay.
But after upgrading Mander it is now fetching data from LW quite rapidly and it should be back in-sync in about a day and a half from now.
If you are curious about the ranking algorithm, there is some info here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html
Thanks! I’ll have a look
Oh wow, this would be great. I set up my XMPP server with Prosody because that seemed like the most straight forward choice. But now I wonder whether it is worth to reconsider and look into Ejabberd.
I wiped all my data from a supercomputer by trying to ‘cd’ into a folder but making a typo and then running rm -rvf * from my home directory.
At least they kept backups… The system administrators were probably amused about who gets access
At this point it might actually be worth adding it to my CV 😂
You can change the theme in your profile
You can customize the CSS using an extension like Stylus to create your own theme
You can access an instance through a custom UI, like mlmym: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
Where are you at? What is your problem specifically?
I would kill. 2X growth rate is too fast, and it is easily better 100 random people now than 200 immediately after.
What about these rules?
The group of people in the tracks is randomized every time.
The group always includes the person that the current decision maker loves the most.
The choice is to kill, or to increase the number of people in the kill group by one.
If the number of humans available reaches the population number, everyone dies.
The list of every decision made by every decision maker is public knowledge.
You are the first decision maker.
Sure! The comments that are posted from within your instance are labeled with “local = true”, even if they are posted to other instances. So the query below will dump all of the database entries for comments in your instance into a file. Assuming that you have a docker install.
docker exec LEMMY_POSTGRES_CONTAINER_NAME psql -U POSTGRES_USER -c "select * from comment where local=true order by comment.published desc;" > all_comments.txt
This will print to a file the comment table including all of the comments posted from within your instance, starting with the newest post. It is possible to combine other queries (such as associating the creator ID with the username), and then parse the output to produce a more informative and easy-to read output. But what I have shown might be enough for you. I may be able to help you if you need a more specific query.
Not super easily. It can be done by querying the postgresql dabase, but there is no built-in method to do it using the browser interface at the moment. When anyone from any instance does report them, you will see the report.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong. But, as far as I am aware, if you purge a user from your instance, that action is federated to every other instance - so if you respond quickly to these reports, other instance’s admins will not need to deal with them themselves. It is only when you perform an action on a user from a different instance that the action is only local.
The spikes disappeared after I increased the RAM from 2 GB to 3 GB, and they have not re-appeared over the past few hours.
It appears like some some process was hitting the 2GB RAM limit - even though under normal use only about 800GB of RAM are allocated. At first I thought that the high amount of read IOPS might be due to the swap memory kicking into action, but the server has no allocated swap.
The postgresql container appears to fail when all of the RAM is used up, and it may be that the high CPU usage is somehow related to repopulating the dabase as it is restarted… But I would think that if this were the case I would see similar spikes whenever I reboot - and I don’t.
Conclusion: I am not sure why this happens.
But if anyone else notices these spikes it may be a RAM issue. Try increasing the RAM and see if they go away.
Woah, that’s new to me. And sounds very illegal. Are these reports credible?
EDIT: I found a discussion on the topic here, which presents some alternatives to explain why the comments appeared to be restored: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/34112/Heads-up-Reddit-is-quietly-restoring-deleted-AND-overwritten-posts-and
I will give Reddit the benefit of the doubt because even though they are acting pretty badly, restoring user-deleted comments sounds to me like an even higher level of incompetence.
Exactly. I really enjoyed posting on reddit, but the idea that they see our comments as a trove of data to monetize at the expense of the community that created it really makes me never want to contribute again. Too bad I made the mistake of not deleting all of my comments or replacing them with junk when deleting my account :/
“Reddit represents one of the largest data sets of just human beings talking about interesting things,” Huffman said. “We are not in the business of giving that away for free.”
🤮
I find it satisfying to see the graph come down :)
