This should not be here. It's a 121 word tweet, at best. A useless rambling of an excuse of an article.

I've spun up my first real kubernetes cluster (lemmy.cafe)

All on my own!

I've heard horror stories about it taking months upon months in the past and they've been keeping me from trying. Silly me :)

It took under two days; and most of the time was trying to figure out all the problems caused by being behind a an http proxy. Looking back, I can see it can be done in a minute or so now that I've got a few bits of config nailed down.

Granted this is a very bare bones cluster atm, but applying that test nginx deployment and seeing all three replicas running, one on each node, has sent me buzzing :)

Next step - generating an internal intermediate and shoving it into the cluster.

Happy Monday!

It appears Trump is going to be the next president of US. I'm not sure such a thread is needed in the first place, but here goes.

Feeling anxious? Desperate? Got the expected result?

What do you think went wrong? What do you think went right? What do you think the future holds?

Leaving a builder account enabled after build has completed is a fairly big oversight.

[Maintenance] 13 October, Sunday, 12:00 UTC (lemmy.cafe)

submitted 9 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

0 comments fedilink

Lemmy Cafe will be having its database upgraded.

Reasons

PostgreSQL 17 has been released and the changelog is promising a lot of IO improvements. Lemmy sure could use it given the constant stream of small events flowing in.

Plan

Point nginx to the maintenance page
Shut down PostgreSQL 16
Run the upgrade tool
Start up PostgreSQL 17
Point nginx to lemmy

Expected downtime

About an hour, if things go well. More if not so.

Will try to keep the maintenance page updated.

Here's the timezone converter.

This does imply a cups server being open to the internet or an already breached network.

You Don’t Need to Use Airplane Mode on Airplanes by Illecors in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 186 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The article is crap, but it is correct in that you don't need to use airplane mode. I would, however, advise to still use it purely to preserve battery life of your device as otherwise it will very aggressively keep scanning for networks and drain it.

Sunak proposes raising smoking age every year to create 'smoke-free' generation by Illecors in c/[email protected]

I see angry wankers want to moan for the sake of moaning.

Eliminating smoking is a goos thing! I'll take my wins whenever possible, doesn't happen all that often.

I think a lot of it is increase in diagnostic capabilities.

Too many users abused unlimited Dropbox plans, so they’re getting limits by Illecors in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 196 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I just don't get it. If it's unlimited - in what universe is using it beyond 15TB considered abuse?

I get the reseller part, I get the stupid chia mining part. But if they can say that was the problem - then get rid of those users, as clearly you have already identified them. Don't shift the blame away from your dumbass marketing team onto your users and play an innocent company.

I can't believe how much support dropbox is getting. People seem to accept, without questioning, every bollocks pr statement these days.

I'm glad they found a way, but at the same time - what the hell? Why is it OK for game devs of this magnitude to have a hardcoded hardware list? Look for feature support, not a string that is easy to manipulate outside your control!
