FBXL Social

cuuuurse you eeeeeelloooooooon!

It's a good point that idle threats are weak.

In the original comic books, Darkseid was constantly searching for the anti-life equation. In some ways, I feel like the sort of people who think love, marriage, building a home, having children, and raising those children isn't the meaning of life have found that equation and used it on themselves so they die.

There's only one way we can help. Canadian healthcare.

Please lay down in the suicide pod.

I remember back when kajit were pretty catgirls and you could run around with a daedric longsword and no shirt on.

Realizing that Daggerfall is 28 years old now really breaks my brain a little. 28 years before Daggerfall was released, home video game consoles wouldn't exist in any form for another 3 years.

I've managed to successfully get caching (itself quite a bit faster on an nvme ssd instead of a sata ssd, not that it matters since we're going to be limited by so much else before then) and QUIC working, which is pretty cool! For folks who don't know anything about it, HTTP3 runs on UDP using a new system called QUIC. It's supposed to reduce the latency by cutting down the number of back and forth communications required for a single thing. It's been out since 2021, but major web servers are just starting to catch up and support it now.

I'll probably bring things back down for a few hours in a week or two to migrate pleroma to the new box, but for the moment everything's working well and my adrenaline gland is overworked from trying to get everything migrated.

The next chapter of the nicky rackets saga is getting weird.

I see that none of these people including Roberts said anything about the Dems going full uncle ruckus on Justice Thomas.

It's like the sino Soviet split. Just nuke each other.

This isn't news at all. Everyone already knew he'd flown on Epstein's jet for years. It wasn't secret.

I used to use thrift shops a lot because I'm a cheap fuck, but eventually they priced stuff higher than new and it's like "well why don't I just buy a new one then?"

If this is real we're gonna need a whoooole lot of woodchoppers.

Why wouldn't the HRE be .HRE?

Yeah, in that case you're getting an objectively better experience by stealing. Which happens more than you'd expect...

[admin mode] we were down for the night to try migrating to the new server, but the migration failed. We're on the new reverse proxy, but after dumping the database and reloading on the new server, I couldn't start.

We're limping along for the moment, and you'll probably see some server errors because of it, but unless something changes, we're up and running in at least some state.

Sucks when you do a big thing like that and it fails!

[admin mode] So I went to my data center, and swapped out the ssds for the new ssds that I'm replacing them with, and then I decided to go in and spend some time working on the main server that serves everything.

After changing a couple settings, I noticed that I was stuck in a reboot loop on startup. I figured that the cause was the USB hard drive I use for Mass storage, so I fiddled around with that for a bit but eventually I came to realize the issue was that I turned on hyperthreading.

I started playing with the idea that maybe the CPU is getting starved of power by having the extra load. And you know what? Once I disabled turbo, I was able to complete a task that previously caused the server to crash (systemwide rsync backup). I guess the 13-year-old processor just doesn't want a turbo like it used to. Thanks Obama!

There's good news for everyone but me. The good news is that the site is stable again, and the othe good news is that my servers are both set up for proxmox and I'm starting to work on clustering and the like so fbxl social is rock solid stable. And the downside is that I'll have to set up matrix again which is just a pain in the butt.

With everything working properly again for now, I can slow down and make sure I do this right with proper separation of roles and functions to ensure I'm using better practices as well as doing High Availability properly. Pretty interested in seeing how QUIC support plays out.

I'll keep everyone posted either way.

[admin mode] sites been up and down like a yoyo lately, time to migrate to New hardware and a new platform. This afternoon we'll be down for a while for sure but it should be solid afterwards.

I don't think that you are exactly on point, but you're pretty close.

Physical media really doesn't matter, what really matters is DRM free. You don't need original physical media if you can make as many copies as you want, and then it doesn't matter if you lose the original disc, because you have 10 others.

For a lot of these games, they will give you a CD but who cares -- you can't start a single player game without contacting an external server anyway!
