Just used it myself. Still very much working.

Y’know, if they had walked everything back - or even just reduced API costs - right away, no one would have left. Now their top content creators have left, and nothing they do will repair the damage.

Downvoted for downvoting pineapple 😡

Goddammit Loch Ness Monster!

That’s not just a hot take, that’s straight up nuclear.

That’s such a wholesome way to look at it. 😊

I just purchased a new phone and I’m kicking myself now. I’ve wanted to support Fairphone for a while, but I just can’t justify another phone purchase.

It just sounds like slavery with extra steps.

I think you could say the same for a lot of countries. Even the ones that seem to know what they’re doing make braindead decisions sometimes.

I was a little confused since I’m from America and am used to all utilities being privately owned, so I did some research. It does look like Japan’s government owns a majority stake in the company, specifically because of this disaster. The private stakeholders are still there but own minority stakes. So yeah, the government of Japan dropped the ball here. It’s strange that I read the linked article and they never mentioned the government once.

I don’t think this is the forum to have this conversation, and anything I say will just prompt you to personally attack me. I think you should open your mind to other points of view and think critically.

Have a good day, and be well.

Jesus, dude. Chill a bit. They were kids who were sold a bill of goods. Some of them legitimately believed they were doing something good and noble when they enlisted, and the people in power abused that ideology. It’s not the veteran’s fault. Hold people in power responsible, not the people who trusted them.

Edit: there’s no sense in arguing with you on this. I just saw your other comments, seems like you’ve got zero empathy. Wish you the best, champ. Hope you find some compassion in your life.

Ah, that’s fair. Best of luck either way. This is the tough part of admin work. FWIW, the stability we’ve had thus far has been pretty impressive!

Already seeing high latency for our instance. Guessing everyone realized the impending doom and created accounts on one of the easier instances to join. Welcome, fellow lemmings!

I’m not familiar with what the server architecture looks like, but is there a possibility of using a load balancer in front of the instance’s server and swapping a “beta” server into the load balancer when you need to do testing? You could basically migrate your traffic with zero downtime, assuming Lemmy’s architecture allows for it.

Dude, I’d ask so many questions if you brought that up in regular conversation and I’m not in your line of work at all. That sounds awesome.

I’m a sysadmin. No one really knows what people in my profession do, so they just assume it’s all servers and computers. I’m all about the automation tools, though. With the right tools and credentials, you can install apps, create accounts, provision a new VM, parse through your emails, brew a cup of coffee, and let your wife know you’ll be home early so she can get rid of her boy toy before you get home…all with a single click.

Poor guy should have done a 10 second Google search before commenting.

As I’ve pointed out in a few spots on this post: regardless of your moral stance, loli is considered the same as child porn by many government agencies. You may not be “harming” anyone, but you’re harming the people that host and view that content in a criminal sense.
