We had one of the magnet screen door dealios and it worked really well. Until the cat discovered he could just go out on the porch to try and escape.

Since being forced back to they office only to sit on calls with the TV in the meeting room, I take every opportunity I can to make snide remarks about staying home.

Yeah, at my company we switched to allow/block listed last year. Whitelisted and blacklisted are verboten

Best movie ever.

“you know excel? Yeah, that’s a database.” Would be my answer.

Are the DB spikes ACTUALLY every 5 minutes or is that just kind of a guess? I ask because if it’s consistent, it’s gotta be some sidecar process somewhere in the stack that can be fiddled with.

That said, it really sounds like you know what you’re doing already so I’ll just go play with my new communities.

As someone who has “been there and done that” at a much larger scale than many devs may ever get a chance to (not a brag, it can suck royally) this really seems like the smart choice.

This is effectively a basic web server scenario and horizonal scaling tends to with really well to a point. And frankly it’ll be a long while before that becomes the bottleneck.

Smart choices you’re making. All the best and I’m happy to help out monetarily where I can!

Shit. That’s a bunch of hardware/services. I hope the donations keep coming in. I’ll gladly drop a few bucks a month for quality updates and a relatively stable instance.

Thank you for running this so I don’t have to deal with it myself.

Just signed up for a monthly thing on GitHub. Did a ko-fi donation before I saw this comment though. But here’s hoping we can get you more than enough to fund the instance!!

My town has been doing the same and there’s even a program where they will come rip out your lawn and replace it with some kind of wood chip stuff. The town’s main water supply is a lake just downhill from our little mountain so they take it pretty seriously. I hate lawn care so I’ve considered it, but haven’t actually taken action on it yet. But I just might. I hate hate hate mowing.
