Hi all,

If I post something hugely interesting and my message is shared by a large account, I will rapidly have mysql eating nearly 800% of CPU resources (yeah, I know, shouldn’t be above a hundred, but that's what top says).

I was wondering if configuring redis could help prevent that kind of situation? Any thoughts?

I'm traveling to Singapore for a couple weeks in the near future. Does anyone have some recommendations on where to go, what to do (or not do)?

Lately we've been struggling to get out of bed and spending lots of time just laying around and then feeling bad for it. However, we've also been struggling to find reasons to get up beyond basic bodily functions.

We need to break this cycle somehow. What would you suggest for us (as kobolds or as a human IRL) do to get us moving in the morning? What's something worth leaving the bed, getting dressed, and actually moving?

Installed #Librewolf on Mac.
In order to run KeepassXC with it, install the addon in Librewolf first.
Then create the folder /user/Library/Application Support/librewolf/NativeMessagingHosts/ if it isn't already there.
Copy that path into the Keepass standalone app in settings->Browser Integration->Advanced->Config location. Give a name to that config, f.i. "librewolf", and save.
Reload database in Librewolf and you're done.

Librewolf's help for Mac users seems non-existing, so i hope that'll help somebody.

Looking to join a Lemmy instance, but since I'm blind, having to deal with exclusionary captcha solutions or requests to send an email to verify I'm a human aren't something I'm interested in.Does anyone know of an instance that tries to be inclusive in their signup process? I also don't wish to be on a blindness-specific instance, as personal experience shows me that way lies a overly conservative hell I'd like nothing to do with. Also prefer an instance outside of the US for obvious reasons. Asking the fediverse at large for suggestions, as ReddIt just doesn't appeal to me considering the research I've recently done on it... #AskFedi #Lemmy #Discussions #SeekingAdvice

People joke about installing Python environments (xkcd.com/1987/), but I'm looking at #Typescript and... am I misunderstanding, but `sudo apt install npm` (on #Ubuntu2204) gives me a #node version (12.22) that isn't compatible with installing the typescript package (EBADENGINE required: node >=14.17). So I should install latest node using #nvm, which installs via curl of a script which git clones its own repo to my ~/.npm, does this sounds right so far? #newb #seekingAdvice

Oops, seems that when I editied the post to add an additional tag, the poll itself got deleted... Fixing that: Which type of GPG key would you recommend to someone starting out with GPG for the first time? #GPG #KeyGeneration #Privacy #MailEncryption #FileEncryption #SeekingAdvice #SetupQuestions #Poll #AskFedi

Another quick & dirty poll, this time on generating a GPG key: Which type of GPG key would you recommend to someone starting out with GPG for the first time? Voting & additional feedback are optional, but I would like to know as I'm wanting to set up a GPG key for my email + to encrypt files before they get uploaded to the cloud. #GPG #KeyGeneration #Privacy #MailEncryption #FileEncryption #SeekingAdvice #SetupQuestions #Poll #AskFedi

Does anyone here have experience with or knowledge about starting a global/international movement/campaign?

How do you start?
What's the process (first steps, foundation, growth)?
Should you start locally (to gain experience) or globally (to not impose structure of first local group on global movement)?
What do you have to consider?
Especially: What do you have to consider right away, as it's hard to fix later?
Any legal considerations?
Any other tips & tricks?

:boost: appreciated. This is important to me.

I want to add OpenGraph metadata with images to my blog so that when you link it, on social sites, you get a nice little preview panel. HOWEVER, I fear the “Mastodon effect” will either bring down my site or run up my bill. Are there specific things I can do with my site setup to minimize the “Mastodon effect”? I use Eleventy to generate a static site which is hosted on Netlify. I have a hunch Netlify can handle whatever I throw at it, but I fear getting a big surprise bill.

Goal: Automatically download PDFs from specific Mailadresses so I can prepare my tax stuff even faster.

Problem: most mails come with a link and not an attachment.

Idea: write a script!

BUT: I have absolutely no idea how to fetch mails via q script...

Anybody got a hint for me?
Found somebody who explains how to do it with python but hope that there is some "built in linux" tool before I start to try out that method ^^

Arvo Toots - #SeekingAdvice My approx 4 year old #Samsung phone is about to die - it keeps getting hot while charging, even though all its diagnostics say it’s fine. I need a cheapish phone (less than $500, buying outright) and I don’t need a whizz bang camera or anything - just ok for snaps, but I do need to hear - and I need to be able to put a case and hard screen on it, because I’m clumsy. Anyone got recs? I’d prefer not to go Samsung again, has anyone tried #Oppo?

An online friend of mine is visiting my city soon. We’re planning to meet up (maybe for a meal?)
They are #blind, and I am sighted with limited experience around blind folks in-person.
Do you have any advice on how I can make my friend comfortable or avoid being a goob?

Hey, anyone here into making #3D models? I want to make one in #Blender, but I'm struggling with getting past all the tutorials with the UI before getting super bored. Do you know anyone who might be interested in teaching me or any kinds of video series on modern Blender versions you recommend?
