@pro @nosherwan Also though, I just checked and the part of that attributable to Pleroma is maybe 700mb. About 400mb in /var where the database is, and 265ish mb in /opt where pleroma is installed. Half of the 4.3 gigs is /usr for distro-installed packages.
@nosherwan I'm on the Pleroma front end, I like it a little bit better. You can actually use both of them at the same time if you want though.
@pro @nosherwan I'm at 4.3 gigs out of the 24g on my $8 instance at prgmr/tornado.
@PonyPanda @moth @NEETzsche @union No argument from me on most of that, I think I've heard that they're starting to redeploy some of them north and east, but that will take some time. Russia's still hurting for logistics for now in the area, but they're on a fairly defensible line there now so they can re-deploy extras east faster than Ukraine can. I think the Kherson line might stay where it is for awhile, but we'll see.
@nosherwan I initially ran Mastodon on 2gb, it worked smoothly, though it did seem like it was using a fair bit of ram and not leaving a ton for Cache. Now I'm on Pleroma and it's using less than 1gb on my 2gb instance, and has more than a gig for cache space.
@ademalsasa @sesivany Really though, if you had taken hubzilla and followed a lot of people on mastodon, you might have accomplished the same thing, since it's the same group of people. I link up to everyone on mastodon from here from my little Pleroma instance.
@developing_agent @knobee @mattblaze Have the extremes link to a little less extreme, and then they to the more moderate, and hopefully you can pull people more centerward, if you have the extremes smashing into each other, they'll take the most extreme stuff on the other side as proof to reinforce their extreme views.
@developing_agent @knobee @mattblaze Sometimes I think that's for the best, getting everyone together to share ideas was an interesting idea, but it seemed to have lead mostly to conflict and animosity rather than understanding. Having a more careful linking of the more moderate elements rather than allowing the extremes to run rampant on each other may help in that front.
@union @PonyPanda @moth @NEETzsche (Kherson north of the river was far more important when the goal was to march to Odessa and Transnistra, but since that's now a pipe dream they probably need to preserve their forces.)
@union @PonyPanda @moth @NEETzsche Yeah, the right/south shore is far more important to Russia's overall strategy. If they lose that then Crimea goes back to being very difficult to support. If they can't re-establish supply lines over the strait bridge in bulk, and they lose the water, they might have a hard time holding onto Crimea, and may have to retreat back to just Donbas region.
re: Amazon, Twitter, Facebook layoffs
@requiem I can see some reason for it, but at the same time there's things about it that don't make sense. One is that there's still a massive supply crunch from China, and Amazon mostly sells things from there, so perhaps they're expecting shortages and not as much need for shipping. On the other hand, we're heading into a couple of decades of demographic driven labor shortages, so they should probably hold onto people they have.
@stuff That's not a bad way to explain it. It really is a lot of over the top nonsense, summoning giant legs to squash enemies, etc. Though it tends to be mostly demons and angels as the enemies you're fighting.
@requiem Could also be something that happens when gathering data from an instance that is way overloaded and not responding correctly.
@tubetime I love the Cat! I’m glad I got to use the one at @mediaarchaeologylab. It’s definitely a different paradigm of computing that takes some getting used to
@requiem Maybe suspended by a moderator on your instance?
@requiem Too late, I gave up on twitter 7 years ago.
calling the fediverse the "mastodon network" is the same energy as your parents calling every video game console a nintendo
