Has anyone taken a course in FAIR? Wondering how useful it is…

Mbin performs quite well. I just applied the most recent update which removed mercure and it’s very fast now.

I was probably the most prominent person who runs both and had database issues with k/mbin. I am happy to say that those are well behind me, largely because of the skill and patience of the Mbin team helping me resolve them.

ok, image proxying should be enabled now

That is on my to do list.

It’s a rough job market for several reasons. My best recommendation is to do something that will distinguish yourself from others (blog, podcast, etc etc) and also try to establish a relationship with someone at prospective employers to get them to “pull” you in. I know, I know, easier said than done, but that’s where we are at.

I don’t have an intention to block threads here

I will see if this is a know issue with lemmy

I am still here. Just don’t post much. I unblocked feddit.nl. It was quite problematic in the past but willing to try again.

You can see the details on user counts here: https://fedidb.org/network/instance/infosec.pub.

There are about 450 active accounts.

It’s hard to pin down the memory and CPU usage, as it’s running on a very large pair of AMD servers that host many sites. I posted the details of those servers are in the thread below. Prior to moving to this server, I was running the instance on a single 16 core AMD system with 64GB of ram.

Disk wise, it uses about 500GB. Overall, it is pretty efficient, particularly compared to kbin/mbin, however I think those are tough to compare against, since they have streaming updates and a heavier user interface.

My server bill is about $3000 per month, but that includes Infosec.exchange, which is a very large instance with about 17000 active users.

I don’t play around any more :)

ok - infosec.pub is now running on my main infrastructure - a 48 core/96 thread AMD epyc zen4 genoa with 256GB of DDR5 ECC ram and 2x4TB nvme SSDs, backed by a dedicated database server with the exact same specs, on a 10gbps network.

Hello - I will take a look. There isn’t an obvious problem

Done

What site is the “loud extremists”?

I block instances that are the source of issues - shitjustworks caused a river of complaints - I don’t think I’ve seen any from the others.

I block them as they come up as problematic. There isn’t a handy list of instances to block like in mastodon. I will block those others.

I appreciate the offer and will likely make a call for more help soon.

It’s 100x worse than Mastodon but 100x better than kbin (so far)

This is great! I should do one of these

it looks like something has been wrong with federation since I applied the patch to fix the vulnerability. I am investigating…
