I’m pretty happy here in our corner of Lemmy. Why would I want to know what’s going everywhere on the internet all at once?

The resdit post referred to by the top level comment mentions that winners of very large jackpots turn up dead with alarming frequency.
Also the bigger the jackpot the more people get sued, family kidnapped, harassed, etc. A miserable existence apparently.

I’m guessing if you have to pay the government, you can get government approval.
By Jupiter’s cock!
Most people do.
I also started getting way more once I moved from chrome to Firefox.
Sounds a bit like the topiary scene in The Shining. (Book version)
“yeah, that’s a different topic”… Damn lol.
Man I remember when KDE came out and us young naive kids thought “this is it… It’s virtually identical to win95/98… But without the bsod”
I feel old.
Enshittification and masturbation.
It feels good to be home
I suspect they’re thinking about port forwarding. For another torrent to connect inbound to you, you need to have a port open for inbound connections and most VPNs don’t provide this as standard.
But you can still torrent if you don’t have ports… But you can only initiate outbound connections to other peers. And it works two way… Those peers you connected to can request data from you without problem.
However if there are too many peers without ports then it becomes a problem because no-one can successfully connect with each other.
I’m not one of these 2 arguing. But in general the app servers don’t do caching or state handling.
You cache things in a third external cache such as redis or memcached. So if a user connects to app server 1 and then to app server 2 they will both grab cachee info from redis. No extra db calls required. This has been the basic way of doing things even with old school WordPress sites forever. You also store session cookies in there or in the db.
And even if you weren’t caching externally like this, databases use up a lot of memory to cache tons of data. So even if the same query hits the db the second hit would probably still be hot in memory and return super fast. It’s not double the load. At least with postgres this is the case and it’s what Lemmy uses.
Agreed. It’s like people forgot about Microsoft and IE. They also had drm options in the browser. Anyone remember Silverlight?
And how did that work out for them?
Have you checked your carbon monoxide alarm? Maybe it was you?
Buy any kindle you prefer. Install calibre. Connect USB cable between kindle and computer.
