Keeping sending the checks to inflate their balances.

They exist here in Australia too. Which is a Commonwealth country with lots of English influenced heritage and culture.

Or when Netgear just randomly picked university of Wisconsin as the NTP server for all it’s cheap routers. https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~plonka/netgear-sntp/

As a hubspot user this is actually not surprising at all. In fact the only surprise is that they’re not requiring you to buy more Professional seats for the answer.

Just read the Mormons have some cash laying around. Maybe tax that a bit?

Star trek is notorious for having bad first seasons.

These mines are going to be a problem for decades to come sadly.

Thousands of angry Muslims around the world demanding Sweden forbid such acts reacted by storming and burning the Swedish embassy in Iraq on July 20, for instance, as well as burning countless US, Israeli, Swedish and LGTBQ flags.

So they’re complaining about their symbols being burnt but they do exactly the same? Okay.

It feels good to be home

I’m not one of these 2 arguing. But in general the app servers don’t do caching or state handling.

You cache things in a third external cache such as redis or memcached. So if a user connects to app server 1 and then to app server 2 they will both grab cachee info from redis. No extra db calls required. This has been the basic way of doing things even with old school WordPress sites forever. You also store session cookies in there or in the db.

And even if you weren’t caching externally like this, databases use up a lot of memory to cache tons of data. So even if the same query hits the db the second hit would probably still be hot in memory and return super fast. It’s not double the load. At least with postgres this is the case and it’s what Lemmy uses.

Star Trek ships at home. And Game of Thrones characters at work.

Puffin rock

That it was an invitation only club was entirely the point.

Cool. But what about tomorrow when he changes his mind again?

Delete cookies for lemmy.world and then you should be okay to log in again.

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

It was the first to throw some real money behind it’s server infrastructure. A month ago most Lemmy instances - even the “big” ones ran on $10 a month 2 vCPU VPSs.

There was another influx early in June when the API changes were announced but before the blackouts even happened.

Most instances with public signups started struggling but Lemmy.world launched and Ruud upgraded the server hardware almost daily to keep up.

Other instances even had to pause signups from time to time but world kept working and so gobbled up most signups on those days.

Once it got to be a top 3 instance and then top 2 and then first it became a self sustaining snowball as a lot of people chose the biggest instance by default.

And before that Slashdot
