Question about Lemmy front-end and feddit.de
  • For the record I did not downvote.

    But I capitulate on your point. It would be great if every piece of software was written with resilience and uptime in mind.

    As a former sysadmin that sounds like a dream. But I don’t think I have ever seen that with any mainstream program that I’ve had responsibility for. Does that mean all those programs were bad? I don’t think so. We wouldn’t need sysadmins if all programs were written the way you describe.

    Programs can be written to auto rotate their logs, compact and reindex their db’s. Using browser updates as an example, they can even safely auto update and revert back on failure.

    How many programs actually do these things? My experience is next to 0. But I wouldn’t call them all bad or poorly written programs.

  • Question about Lemmy front-end and feddit.de
  • No. Every good software program should write at least logs to disk. Every good database writes to disk. Add a new post, db will commit to the db and the db will grow in size.

    Name any decent sized program where new content is added and I guarantee it writes to disk and will fail eventually if not maintained.

  • Baby elephants
  • I’m think your saying the one on the right is a bird. But then you have to consider the documentary about the one on the left learning to fly. So if I guess both animals are birds.

  • What open-source software would you like more people to know about?
  • Don’t feel too bad, not only is 30 an arbitrary number, he doesn’t account for folks too young to understand something. I don’t think a 2 day old baby learning about the mentos thing should count. So either it’s more than 10,000 people per day or the age should probably stretch out to 60 or maybe even 75.

    Of corse there are also the people like me who are forgetful and may not remember they heard something!

  • r/sysadmin and the size of this community
  • I agree with your disagreement. One of the biggest mistakes was folks trying to create 1:1 analogs of every subreddit. A single big community can have a lot of varied interesting discussions. If it gets too big, folks can get together and start a separate sub topic community for whatever topic warrants it.

  • browse instance without logging in?

    When I first started the app I could browse as guest in an instance. But after creating my first account, I’ve lost the option to browse an instance as guest. Some instances are closed to registration, but I’d still like to check them out (beehaw).
