  • I wish this was true, but most climate change deniers will never acknowledge that climate change is happening. Even if they do they will never acknowledge it’s because of human activity.

    Human race is going to suffer immensely because of the greed of a small percentage of super rich assholes, politicians and the stupidity of half of humanity.

    I fear what kind of world will my children live in when they become adults.



  • One of the large applications I was working on had the same issue, to solve it we ended up creating multiple smaller instances and started hosting a set of related API’s in each server.

    for example read operations like list posts, comments etc could be in one server. write operations can be clusered in one server.

    Later, whichever server is getting overloaded can be split up again. In our case 20% of API’s used around 3/4th of server resources, so we split those 20% API’s in 4 large servers and kept the remaining 80% API’s in 3 small servers.

    This worked for us because the DB’s were maintained in seperate servers.

    I wonder if a quasi micro-services approach will solve the issue here.

    Edit 1: If done properly this approach can be cost effective, in some cases it might cost 10 to 20 percentage more in server costs, however it will lead to a visible improvement in performance.



  • [email protected] - A community for people who write or enjoy reading HFY themed fiction.

    What is HFY?

    While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.

    In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.




  • Will pass as they lose substantial number of followers and contribute to the growing fidiverse.

    However for them, it’s not a big deal as the get the following benefit

    1. All undesirable users leave for fidiverse or other reddit alternatives.
    2. The remaining users will be tame like the users of FB, Instagram. Which destroys Reddit as we know it, but the new Sanitised Reddit will be more appealing to investors in an IPO even with less users.

    Hopefully this is a turning point and leads to the development of The real Web 3.0, federated version of Web 1.0. (The Metaverse bullshit can no longer be called Web 3.0)
