>(…) I have to say, how Mastodon internals work in terms of performance and scalability are top notch and sets the bar for other projects.
It’s not the language that matters, the database is the bottleneck, and more importantly how you manage the data schema and structures!

Mastodon > Calckey in terms of performance 🤷🏻‍♂️

Apple Leather case after six months of use. Not sure it looks better with age unfortunately…

Oh wow. Succession is really that good! 😳

Today’s mission to configure server wasn’t successful but I’ll get to that. Yunohost without internet isn’t really working and DietPi… I’ve plugged out USB drive during installation by accident. Seems like it’s not my day to succeed with it! Gonna give it a go later.

Installing Yunohost on machine without access to the internets is so painful I retreated to DietPi. My RPi400 works on it for a very long time, so why mess with perfection?

Not only prices of everything are going up (hi there, Netflix) but those big entities are closing themselves (hi reddit). Selfhosting is the way forward then – just got my HP T630 and I’m gonna selfhost the entire internets.

Couple more from the seaside. Feels nice.

Even when I’m not playing the Zelda, I’m playing Zelda.

Polish seaside weather is… Let’s say its suboptimal.

Wow.

📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️

Because of some catholic thingy it’s a bank holiday here in Poland, so I took my time to drink coffee and unsubscribe from like thousand of newsletters that somehow got into my inbox. Arc Browser with this small pop-up window makes unsubscribing so quick!

ADHD meds have some additional benefits! I’m not only able to focus, but I’ve also lost interest in high-dopamine foods like sweets, fast-food or even soft drinks. That’s good, already lost a bit weight because of that.

Another Calckey-related rant: two RC’s in 24h because there’s not enough QA done. I was Calckey fan, now it’s just annoying to comply with how this project is being managed. Ugh. And last stable release has long-standing bug that just freezes THE WHOLE instance every couple of minutes. Bonkers.
