I really enjoy your transparency and style of communication!

Comparing it to Spez and how Reddit became prior to the migration, this is such a refreshing change

/u/Ruud is like /u/Spez but only if /u/Spez was actually cool.

It gets me every time seeing people using the product I build πŸ₯Ή

You worked on Grafana? Your product is awesome, I use it in my homelab for performance metrics

It's been very snappy today, nice work! Is it all under Docker Compose with the node handling Nginx and Postgres as well?

Why did you guys roll back the UI to .7 from .10? I enjoyed some of the UI improvements, but I guess there were some bugs?

Edit: I see its back to .10 maybe I had a browser tab open from before that I never refreshed

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Iβ€˜m really grateful for your and your colleaguesβ€˜ work. Thank you for letting us lemmy around here!!!

mastodon.world has the same server but with twice the RAM :-)

I can’t believe how fast you’ve managed to crowdsource and fix things on this instance. I haven’t seen many problems at all sharing comments and things.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How can I throw some bucks in your direction?

Where in the frontpage can we see this?

Edit: thank you all!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's on the right-hand sidebar of lemmy.world:

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Awesome! I'm on mobile, so I cannot see it. Will check it out when I get to my computer.

This is awesome! As a systems engineer for my day job, I love seeing stuff like this!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

Some of my usage is in this data and I like that.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

pretty gauges. the instance seems to be more stable/responsive today

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How much is that in beans?

Damn that’s a huge chunk of (what looks like) a 64 core CPU there. Impressive!

It’s cool it can aggressively cache that much. Although I am perplexed why one would have a swap file configured in this case? What does it give you here? Sorry not trying to be an elitist or anything just have no idea what advantage you get!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

To be honest I tend to use swap less and less. But this was in the build that Hetzner does and I didn't remove it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If your application goes wild with RAM usage, a properly configured swap will make sure the underlying OS remains responsive enough to deal with it.

How far do you see lemmy.world capable of scaling to? One thing I've been noticing is the centralisation of Lemmy users on a few top servers, surely that cannot be healthy for federation? What are your thoughts on this?

How much is this costing you? Also who is your host? Is it on a virtual machine?

I know that the RAM cache is just taking advantage of otherwise free RAM and will be dropped in favor of anything else, but it does stress me out a bit to see it "full" like that.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would stress me even more to see a lot of RAM doing nothing, that would be a shame! ;-)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Difference between Windows and Linux. Windows would only use what it needs. Linux pre-empts more and fills the RAM for what coul dbe needed.

It used to stress the shit out of me when I switched to Linux as I'd gotten used to opening task manager and seeing 90% free RAM. On Linux I'd be seeing 10% free and panicking thinking it was a resource hog.

The Linux-way is the best way.

I use Arch btw ;)

That's how it supposed to work, free RAM does nothing :)

I hate that radial graphs are so popular with *Grafana dashboards. Radial/pie charts are terrible representations for humans to interpret. I tend to try and convert them either to a stat with the line/time display or a bar chart. Humans are better judging linear relationships than radial.

This is so cool to see. Thanks for posting! Lemmy.world has been super smooth today

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Awesome. Gotta love Grafana!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Looks Awesome! Glad to see the patches seem to be working.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Love me some grafana.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was hoping to see some uptime, but thanks for the window into your server! Are you still having to kill the instance every half hour?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It says uptime is 3.3 weeks in the top right.
