I love the movement in this one
China raises the price to $6 to compensate, Taiwan to $5.90
Not quite. It's not the foreigners who pay the tariffs, it's the locals. The tariff is charged at customs when the product enters the country and the people paying that are the people doing the importing. Tariffs don't bring more money into the country, they just penalize local people who import goods from overseas. It's a tax. Back when Republicans were consistent they hated all taxes, heh.
From the point of view of the local consumer it makes no difference - the price rises unless there is a locally made substitute they can buy instead.
Call for change comes after host country Azerbaijan's president calls oil and gas a "gift of God".
Same goes for downvotes - giving something a downvote is the equivalent of giving everything else an upvote.
After X attempts to log in, it bans the IP address.
It will scan your wordpress files and alert you if any of them have changed in suspicious ways (hacked).
It can disable the xml-rpc endpoint which is rarely used and is a big vector for hacking.
... and a lot more but those are the main ones for me.
There are not as many sysadmin job these days because so many on-prem deployments have moved to the cloud. Consider becoming a cloud version of a sysadmin (whatever they're calling it now...). Every platform offers lots of free learning resources and has a certification process.
The WordFence plugin is a must-have for security.
If you use Caddy instead of Apache then you get SSL automatically. You'll need php-fpm as well, tho.

Ok if trying a memory limit of 512MB doesn't work then I'm out of ideas, sorry.
Yeah, sort of. The total number of subscriptions (by all users) determines the load caused by federation. If you subscribe to 200 communities then I subscribe to the same 200 the federation load will not increase.
So once an instance has more than a dozen users pretty much every community that exists will be subscribed to and adding more users will not increase federation load (but it would increase load caused by the UI)
Any interesting things in Reports -> Status? Sometimes there are warnings in there which point to config issues.
So weird!
Very unlikely to be a proxmox issue.
134217728 bytes is only 138 MB so your php memory limit is set lower than you think. Your php config needs work. Restart Apache and php-fpm (if using) after changing php.ini and use phpinfo(); to check that your changes were applied successfully.
A memory limit of 256 MB should be ok.
I was a drupal dev for 10 years.
There's no way it should use that much ram. You probably have a contrib module installed that has a bug in it. Try a process of elimination till you find the module it is.
Roughly 2 GB of RAM, 2 cores of CPU. PieFed.social has 8 GB and 4 cores for 150 users and that is more than enough power. We haven't had a very busy instance with thousands of users so the only scaling tests have been to do with federation - "what happens if I join every community". The UI is very lightweight, tho.
It really depends how many communities you subscribe to. A single user instance might be able to use less.

Each instance (server) of PieFed shares content with each other and with the wider fediverse of Lemmy, Mbin, Mastodon and others. You can use any of the following instances to try out PieFed: Instance Location piefed.social Europe feddit.online North America link.fossdle.org Europe
Recently there have been two more PieFed instances created, which offer accounts to anyone who wants one:
- https://feddit.online
- https://link.fossdle.org
Feddit.online is hosted in USA which should make it a little faster for people there. It also has a different topic structure at https://feddit.online/topics than PieFed.social has.
Key updates include the addition of community icons for better identification, a notification management interface, and various enhancements to our API for eventual mobile app support. Below is a detailed overview of the changes we've made.
##Jeena
- Community icon alongside name in post teaser. This helps differentiate between communities with the same name and adds visual interest.
##Freamon
- Added a notification management interface to manage notifications from all the communities and posts you are subscribed to - https://piefed.social/alerts
- Soft deletion of comments, so they can be un-deleted again.
- Lots of API work for the mobile app. Lots!
#Rimu
- Generate YouTube thumbnails more reliably.
- Instance overview pages which make it easy to see posts and people from any instance. Start exploring at https://piefed.social/instances.
- FEP-268d: Search consent signals for objects. This FEP is a convention for how instances can signal to other instances which posts should be searchable.
- Track who deleted which posts, for accountability among moderators.
- Refactoring to support API work by Freamon.
- Automatically delete voting data older than 6 months (aggregated totals are unaffected). Voting data consumes gigabytes of space and it only meaningfully affects ranking of posts in the first few days. The only other reason to keep this data is for vote manipulation analysis and 6 months worth of data should be plenty.
- Instances with open registrations automatically close registrations after one week of having no admins log in. This will avoid abandoned instances becoming a vector for spam or a home of trolls.
- Show instance name after display name. If you notice undesirable patterns of behaviour associated with certain instances you can block the whole instance.
- Improve visibility of user-level instance blocking functionality. This is separate and in addition to defederation which is controlled by admins.
- Display PeerTube licence info on video posts. This could be rolled out to other post types in future?
- Topics now have an option to show posts from communities that are in child topics. E.g. https://piefed.social/topic/arts-craft only has two communities in it so the number of posts shown there is very low. However it’s child topics (Arts, Craft and Photography) have quite a few communities so to populate the top-level topic it makes sense to display posts from all the child topics too. https://piefed.social/topic/tech/programming is a similar case.

Despite New Zealand’s image as a global leader in environmental stewardship and animal welfare, mud farming paints a far bleaker reality – one rooted in cruelty, neglect, and environmental disregard.
Parallel federation sending is a big deal because it'll mean servers can be physically located further away from lemmy.world (once lemmy.world upgrades, which could be a while).
Elon Musk produces roughly 5,497 tonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to 834 years' worth of emissions for the average person, or 5,437 years' worth for someone in the poorest 50 per cent.
Per year. And Musky has been himself for decades.
Don't forget that Trump is completely inept and this time doesn't have any help from people even trying to be "the adults in the room". He's made some huge huge promises and I just don't think he has the ability or the team to make much of it happen.

It’s probably leaching chemicals into your cooking oil.
Cooking with any plastic is a dubious enterprise, because heat encourages potentially harmful plastic compounds to migrate out of the polymers and potentially into the food. But, as Andrew Turner, a biochemist at the University of Plymouth recently told me, black plastic is particularly crucial to avoid.
In 2018, Turner published one of the earliest papers positing that black plastic products were likely regularly being made from recycled electronic waste. The clue was the plastic’s concerning levels of flame retardants. In some cases, the mix of chemicals matched the profile of those commonly found in computer and television housing, many of which are treated with flame retardants to prevent them from catching fire.
On more than 30 occasions, the United Nations Assembly has discussed the blockade against Cuba, which costs the island 5 billion dollars annually, according to some estimates. Every year the resolution is proposed and the whole world, through the vote of the absolute majority of the member countries of the United Nations General Assembly, has condemned the imperialist attitude of the United States towards Cuba.

The imaging spectrometer aboard the Carbon Mapper Coalition’s Tanager-1 satellite identified methane and carbon dioxide plumes in the United States and internationally.
Using data from an instrument designed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, the nonprofit Carbon Mapper has released the first methane and carbon dioxide detections from the Tanager-1 satellite. The detections highlight methane plumes in Pakistan and Texas, as well as a carbon dioxide plume in South Africa.
The data contributes to Carbon Mapper’s goal to identify and measure greenhouse gas point-source emissions on a global scale and make that information accessible and actionable.

After almost half a century on death row Iwao Hakamada, 88, has been acquitted of murder.
An 88-year-old man who is the world’s longest-serving death row inmate has been acquitted by a Japanese court, after it found that evidence used against him was fabricated.
Iwao Hakamada, who was on death row for almost half a century, was found guilty in 1968 of killing his boss, the man’s wife and their two teenage children.
He was recently granted a retrial amid suspicions that investigators may have planted evidence that led to his conviction for quadruple murder.
We tried to hold back from coding new stuff in order for things to stabilize but it didn't work out. Maybe next month. Instead, we made a whole bunch of cool things:
rimu ----------
- Detect offline instances and stop federating to them until they come back. feamon helped a lot with this.
- Private voting - see https://piefed.social/post/205362 for background.
- Remove moment.js to ease load on clients. We were using a quite heavy javascript library to format dates on the client side but removing the JS and doing it in Python on the backend instead more than halved the amount of JS we need to send (we're now down to 70 KB, gzipped).
- Post teaser redesign - the most significant visual change since the beginning. Image posts now have a much larger preview image and video posts can be played without going to the post itself. YouTube videos are lazy-loaded just before scrolling into view but only if running on AC power. Devices running off a battery (or like Firefox which do not support the battery API) will only load the video once you visit the post page, not while scrolling the feed.
- Use a connection pool for federation - rather than making a new network connection to send an Activity, PieFed will reuse an existing connection where possible. This has less overhead and results in faster federation.
hendrik ----------
- Better notifications about comments buried deep in a thread
freamon ----------
- Better federation of bans from remote admins.
- use HTML portion of Activity instead of Markdown. Lemmy sends Activitys as both Markdown and HTML. For a long time PieFed would use the Markdown and convert it to HTML for display but now it just uses the HTML that Lemmy provides.
- Image alt text federation
- Backfilling improvements especially with image posts.
- Many misc bugfixes
JollyDevelopment ----------
- New theme - "card shadow" - this quickly became a favorite among the dev team and both freamon and myself use it. It's basically the same as the default except there are shadows behind things, giving a more 3D look to the interface and giving a bit more visual hierarchy. It's nice, try it - https://piefed.social/user/settings
- Admin page - instance administration - there is a table showing all the instances you're federating with and stats for each instance.
- Profile export - PieFed has had the functionality to import settings from a Lemmy profile for a long time but now it's possible to go the other way and export settings from PieFed to Lemmy.
- Add remote form - The form for adding a remote community used to require you to type the community as !whatever@instance.com but now you can give the URL as well, e.g. https://instance.com/c/whatever
