Just another Swedish programming sysadmin person.
Coffee is always the answer.
And beware my spaghet.
Oh yeah, CPU usage is basically zero, and memory usage of the PHP code itself is also basically nil compared to other software I run. It’s just the sudden storms of IO requests that causes issues, and since those come over a network pipe it causes issues for other pieces of software as well.
Again, it works until it requires reloading, i.e. the next update of any component or the next restart of the server.
I’m also running an inode cache on the client side, on top of the persistent opcache, but due to the sheer number of files that Nextcloud consists of it still generates a frankly ridiculous amount of calls when it needs to invalidate the cache. If you’re running on local drives then that’s likely much less of an issue, regardless of what kind of drive it is, but this is hosted on machines that do not have any local storage.
Yep, those values are actually somewhat tame compared to my own cache tuning, the issue remains that the code requires reloading PHP files from disk during runtime in order to support applications and updates, which - even if it doesn’t happen often - causes IO storms that temporarily break both Nextcloud as well as other software.
Currently working to move away from Nextcloud myself, it’s PHP nature causes IO storms when it tries to check if it needs to reload any code for incoming requests.
All OpenWRT-based routers have the option of built-in DNS-based adblock, can thoroughly recommend the Turris routers for such things.
If you don’t have a hard requirement for the Helm Chart to be written by Element themselves, I’ve been maintaining some Charts for Matrix components for almost six years - which have also ended up being used as the base for the German BundesMessenger project. Unfortunately free time hasn’t allowed me to do nearly as much as I want with it, especially since it continues to work for the use-cases for my job.
We do have a room on Matrix for dealing with Kubernetes setups though.
I also ended up chatting with one of the core devs of Synapse about ways to improve regular Python Synapse for use with Kubernetes back in the ending of January, so hopefully it’ll improve in that direction when time allows. They have the exact same problems with providing hosted setups after all, so they too want to make the open-source version easier to run.
One has super cow powers, the other one doesn’t.
They actually did a study on it after rolling back to Windows, and it turned out to not have failed due to technical difficulties at all.
If I recall correctly they stated that something like 80-90% of all issues reported during the period were due to badly designed processes - processes which were the same as in Windows, and the number of technical issues actually dropped.
Certainly, the fact that Microsoft promised to build a fancy new HQ in the city if they switched back to Windows can’t have had anything to do with the choice to roll back…
Thank you so much, especially for the private instance improvement.
It’s sad when it’s revealing that ~80% of all traffic to my home instance is garbage.
Default block for incoming traffic is always a good starting point.
I’m personally using crowdsec to good results, but still need to add some more to it as I keep seeing failed attacks that should be blocked much quicker.
10-20% of year-over-year revenue is the going rate.
Honestly, the two reasons I’ve been sticking with Plex is the federated/shared libraries and watch together.
If they’re starting to axe those then I see no reason to continue using it.
Sitter själv i några rum för diskussioner om Matrix inom både läroverket och lite annat också, men problemet fortsätter - som alltid - att vara tid och prioritering.
Linköpings Universitet har en Matrix server, men vi har inte kunnat ta den till en erbjuden tjänst för alla studenter/anställda än, behöver bygga kunskapsbas för kundcenter o.dyl. först
The Librelancer project is working on this.
There are actually a few projects doing exactly that, at least for the early entries;
Development pace for them is somewhat slow due apparent lack of interest - and a healthy dose of fear of EA interference - though.
Done both, but I’ve found I rather enjoy the mix of stick and trackpad, emulated as KB+M
Calling it a “Lemmy/Mastodon bridge” sounds off, it’s like saying “Gmail/Outlook bridge” when discussing the sending of emails between the two.
I’d use the word “interoperability” instead, or maybe “interaction” for something slightly less technical.
I might be slightly biased, but I can also recommend OpenMW for Deck.
Been enjoying Aloft, a pretty cozy exploration/survival game about restoring the environment of various floating islands.
Also started working my way through Disco Elysium.
Are you looking at data rates or IO operations? Because this is almost exclusively stat queries, i.e. inode queries.
