@dcc@annihilation.social Laptop.

Wishing my new computer would go ahead and ship already. The order interface page on the manufacturer's website indicates that the computer available and essentially ready to go, but it's just "waiting to ship". So, what's the delay? And why does the "expedited shipping" quote me a delivery date of October 4th--7th? 💢

@dcc@annihilation.social We should just turn off the internet entirely and go back to mailing letters. @m0xEE@breloma.m0xee.net

@m0xEE@breloma.m0xee.net We have plenty of IP addresses.

Delta has 25 CSR kiosks and is only staffing 8 of them. There is a long line for assistance queued up.

@dcc@annihilation.social Regularly running VACUUM FULL (or, things like it ["does the same job"]) isn't recommended by any of the docs I've come across, and is actually warned against. @dushman@den.raccoon.quest @emma@niscii.xyz @efertone@slippy.xyz @jeff@misinformation.wikileaks2.org

@dushman@den.raccoon.quest Right now I'm mostly just running a script that @efertone@slippy.xyz wrote to delete remote files older than 3 weeks. Beyond that, I think PostgreSQL performs autovacuum by default? I don't know, unsure how to really check and find out. Something more to research/read about when I get some extended downtime on my computer.

Otherwise, I occasionally run VACUUM ANALYZE manually. Might be nice to combine the script you made for pg_dump with one that can perform VACUUM ANALYZE so that the database gets dumped, vacuumed, and analyzed daily + older files get pruned daily + the server reboots daily (right now all my VMs reboot daily). @emma@niscii.xyz @jeff@misinformation.wikileaks2.org

@dushman@den.raccoon.quest Should be recorded under /var/log/syslog though, right?

@efertone@slippy.xyz I really ought look into PostgreSQL scripts or Python scripts for interfacing with PostgreSQL for doing regular database backups and vacuums (although just reading about autovacuum right now, struggling to understand if it's active and configured by default or not). @emma@niscii.xyz @dushman@den.raccoon.quest

@dushman@den.raccoon.quest I certainly hope this database doesn't become huge. @efertone@slippy.xyz @emma@niscii.xyz @jeff@misinformation.wikileaks2.org

@efertone@slippy.xyz Whenever I run VACUUM ANALYZE and pg_dump I stop Misskey so that no activity is taking place while PostgreSQL does it's things. @dushman@den.raccoon.quest @emma@niscii.xyz @jeff@misinformation.wikileaks2.org

@dushman@den.raccoon.quest Yeah, there should be a cronjob log.

@dushman@den.raccoon.quest That's stability for you! :misato_laugh2:

@dushman@den.raccoon.quest Well, I'm using Ubuntu. The Linux distribution for the cultured gentleman. @jeff@misinformation.wikileaks2.org

How would I know if a Python script executed by a cronjob on a server was actually being executed? :thinking_rotate:

@tyler@1611.social I do keep things updated regularly, but, there is actually some merit to this: most of the problems I've ever run into have resulted from trying to update firmware or packages. I guess the whole "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" mentality has some truth to it.

Google is evil and I hope the federal government breaks them up entirely as a company.

This post is motivated entirely by the fact that I can no longer stream YouTube videos in VLC.

@jeff@misinformation.wikileaks2.org It's because tech.lgbt and some other otherwise-totally-cool-with-this-goddamn-plague instances got hit by #fediblock ans now suddenly it's a big deal that needs to be addressed. @sim@shitposter.club @iska@catposter.club @Natanox@chaos.social @snott@teabag.ninja

@Natanox@chaos.social I understand and respect your response, and, generally, I concede that you are correct: much of my rhetoric here connecting Mastodon proper or Mastodon collectively to little Fedi ghouls like @Are0h@ubiqueros.com and the mastodon.art clique is tangential.

I would say, however, that it's not completely separate nor unrelated entirely. While individual prawns like Are0h, and terroristic, bad actor instances like .art, represent the extremes of Mastodon toxicity/hostility, this toxicity and hostility still exists and definitely isn't suppressed by Mastodon proper---be it Gagron with GmbH---or Mastodon as a collective entity.

The general attitude maintained by Mastodon-Fedi towards non-Mastodon Fedi is one exuding chauvinism, covetousness, and arrogance. There is definitely a dislike maintained by Mastodon Fedi towards non-Mastodon Fedi. Either happenstance or organized, there has sprung forth multiple and continued attempts by Mastodon Fedi to "otherize", disparage, and subvert the wider network in a sort of collectively conscious agenda to control, dictate, or otherwise silence the greater Fediverse. @iska@catposter.club
