Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

So I’m still not feeling great, but getting a bit more energy now. Spent the weekend doing not much. Must have had whatever @eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz and @flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works had 🙁

On the plus side, we are looking a lot healthier on the federation front with Lemmy.world. It seems we can’t make much progress with weekday traffic but when the weekend comes there’s a lot less content and so we can catch up some more. We are currently down to about 2 hours delay for content coming from Lemmy.world to Lemmy.nz. Here’s a graph:

And here’s one showing the number of “activities” (actions) behind we are:

Sorry for having one graph weirdly thin and tall, they are on the same timeline, but they seem to display different. I didn’t make the graphs, but they are publicly accessible here and here.

These are pretty neat graphs! Is it sourced from the Prometheus logs?

Just updated to 0.19.3 but the DB migrations failed due to a permissions change I made a while back to my DB, so I had to spend a few hours in the SQL dungeons fixing things.

I didn’t make the dashboards, but the data is available through an API call to each instance. I guess they have some polling set up and then feed it into the dashboard?

I’ve been testing some stuff with pictrs, and have been updating pictrs from 0.4 to 0.5 in my non-prod instance. There’s no progress meter and so far it has taken 2 days 😱.

It’s a lot less grunty than the production server but still seems excessive!

Interesting. I have some New Relic stuff setup with my cluster but most of that is just resource usage stuff. I ran out of RAM a while back so I’ve had to be a bit more restrictive about how many connections Lemmy can have to postgres db.

There’s no progress meter and so far it has taken 2 days 😱.

Uh oh. I considered updating to 0.5 as part of my 0.18.3-ish (I was running a custom fork I made with some image caching stuff that has since been merged in to real lemmy) -> 0.19.3 upgrade but I’m glad I didn’t.

Thanks for the heads up. Are you migrating to postgres for pictrs too, or sticking with sled?

I had a great weekend on the water, myself and a small group camped at Mangaweka, and did a trip down the Rangitikei finishing at the campsite, then on Sunday we did the blue pools section of the Tongariro. A great weekend, no swims, and one successful unplanned roll.

Here’s some pictures of my pet Leo!

Leo at home

Leo at feeding time

He’s a big boy, pushing 3 inches long! He’s been my pet every since earlier today when I found him in my worm farm.

I know these guys eat other slugs, but I cannot express how much I hate slugs of all types

He has lovely speckles. Quite pretty, if slugs can be pretty.

I knew someone who did think they had a pet tiger slug for about 3 weeks and then the cat ate it.

No cats here, Leo is safe!

I searched up common slugs and found it referred to as a Leopard Slug, though I see now Wikipedia says Tiger Slug is another common name for it. Is Tiger Slug a more common term here?

I also see that my one is only a baby, with adults 10cm-20cm long! Leo is probably about 7cm except when stretched out. I’ll have to keep him well fed and see how big he gets!

Yeah I’ve always known them as tiger slugs. Yes they get pretty big, and dark. He will probably enjoy it if you feed him some kind of wet catfood, they also drink water.

I’m now on my seventh day of covid. I’m about 85% recovered but I except this exhaustion to linger for some time. I didn’t realise how burnt out I was from work until I was forced to take this time off. So I decided to take advantage of this time off by giving myself more time off lol. A extra week of recovery and fun! I’m gonna catch up with some old friends, get a hair cut, do my studies, attend toastmasters and volunteer at the market at the end of the week.

Sounds great, it’s best to really avoid pushing it when you’re recovering. Have a fun week!

Hiya! Beautiful weekend and now I’m listening to a morepork.

Unfortunately I have something going on with my tooth, dentist tomorrow, not sure what is going to happen or how bad the impact will be on my system and how long recovery is. Hopefully see you all on the other side.

Thanks. Good news is they didn’t do it yesterday! Bad news is it’s somewhere in my future, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it (again).
