I was reading that Lemmy.World has to restart its Lemmy instance every 30 minutes, else it runs out of RAM and falls on it’s arse… And a single instance won’t use all the CPU threads correctly, so that have to run a few on the same server and load-balance them.
Let’s hope those bugs can get ironed out!
I love how small the updates are - 1.5mb! And the whole app is just 26mb. Kudos!
Well, again, there’s quite a lot of large-ocean-hopping going on there… I understand there’s so many factors involved in sorting the schedule, but does seem their efforts to go Carbon Neutral may get thwarted by immense travel.
True, but it’s up to Tom if he wishes to be transparent about costs and/or donations received or not.
As I used to run a large server for a large community forum a few years ago - admin’ing something like this can sometimes be a very thankless task, and users will be sympathetic if you’re out of pocket (and only some will help) but as soon as they see you made a tiny bit of profit one month, they forget the fact that actually, you’re about £1k down at the moment, as this extra £62.32 I’ve made this mornth can go against that… ;-) Not to mention the free time given up to actually maintain and look after a busy server. So I’d totally understand if he didn’t want others telling him what he might be doing wrong with his costs, etc. “Oh, well, you could save £4.20 if you moved the whole service to this little unknown company … etc.” :)
I’m also hoping as the code for Lemmy matures, it becomes less memory-hungry and more CPU-friendly. The more help they get on Github to make it truly scalable, the better.
Time will tell! I’m just thankful for what we have now.
Well, congrats to you. But as I said - on the same hardware, AGH runs so much smoother and more reliably. Maybe piHole is more reliable now - but back when I was using it, upgrades would kill configs, you’d have to reinstall – it was a common thing every few months. Forgot to mention, AGH also runs on BSD, which means you can run it on your Opsense / pFsense box too if you run one.
Used Pihole for years. Gave AdGaurd Home a try and never looked back.
Every few months you’ll have to fiddle with your Pihole config as an upgrade breaks it. Unbound is a whole separate beast. Refreshing the lists seem to take a lot of processing. You need a second instance, just because.
AdGaurd Home just works. DNS over HTTPS and DoH for your upstream all built in. Upstream can be fail over or fastest response. Upgrades work in browser in a matter of seconds. And to date, has never fallen over (on the exact same hardware and OS as my Piholes).
AdGaurd Home’s service blocking, and Safe Search enforcement is a useful add on for kids devices too.
You should really run 2 instances anyway, for fail over, so why not run one of each and decide for yourself which you prefer?
An easy indicator to see if a computer is on / wake it up / see if the keyboard is connected / see if a PC has crashed.
Woo, I’m in. Thanks @tom@feddit.uk
