  • I just made a quick change to our lemmy-ui config to hopefully quickly restart it when it once again leaks all of its memory and gets stuck in a tight set of GC cycles due to a “high” amount of traffic (normal for a public website being scraped, even with iocaine) even though it’s a node application that barely does anything at all

    I can’t monitor this one as close as I’d like today so if something breaks and it doesn’t resolve itself within a couple minutes, or the instance looks like it’s in a crash loop, ping @zzt@mas.to on mastodon and I’ll try and get to it as soon as I can

  • yeah bye now

  • thanks to you he had 8 more years of life and a much happier existence than any he’d known before he met you. I think that’s remarkable.

  • I’m so sorry. it’s never easy when this happens, but for what it’s worth it sounds like you gave him the best life possible. it takes a great deal of strength to be with a pet until the very end, and I hope you’re able to take the time you need to grieve and recover your emotional strength.

  • dear fuck just when I think I’m out urbit pulls me back in

    analysis coming soon, I’m reviewing some technical sources provided by a world-class cryptocurrency expert (yes it’s @dgerard@awful.systems) and howdy fuck does this ever resemble the cardano grift but with Haskell replaced with a much worse ML with a much less coherent type system

  • their absolute twat of a CEO is still running kagi as an AI company, and kagi fans get really weird when you bring it up

  • so I’m not saying I’m writing this down for the Lemmy clone’s features list, but

  • unironically fuck yes

  • does arch not support reading the fucking article or any other comments in the thread before you show your entire ass posting here

  • the wet bandits would absolutely be gigantic ladybird fans. especially after Kevin gave them a couple concussions each

  • important addendum: your reason for advocating for shit browsers owned by terrible people will be read out loud in the clown voice it deserves

  • shut the fuck up

  • from your profile and post history you appear to be, and I can’t believe I’m typing these words, a pro-Brave anti-Mozilla gimmick account. go the fuck outside.

  • ahahaha delicious

  • if you’re here to recommend ladybird, tell us why you’re doing advocacy for that trash fire in spite of the well-sourced, ah, downsides pointed out in article and video linked from the OP.

    same for brave. I don’t give a fuck if privacyguides told you it was the goodest browser.

    if you’re here to advocate for ladybird or brave and haven’t read the article in the OP, fuck off. don’t come here pretending to discuss something you haven’t read.

  • why are you holding out for a browser that the OP correctly calls out as being developed by a believer in white replacement conspiracy theories who also vibe codes his browser?

    actually don’t answer that, don’t fucking post here unless you’ve read the article

  • how are the defaults for librewolf? I’m considering switching but I’m hearing mixed things about the defaults occasionally breaking sites. waterfox seems pretty good too, but I don’t see it packaged as frequently as librewolf.

  • tell us more about how you didn’t read the article or watch the video

    specifically tell us how you missed ladybird’s developer being a fascist who’s already vibe coding the worthless fucking thing

    actually no, maybe just don’t fucking post here

  • after a decade+ of Mozilla dropping the ball on purpose and violating user consent, thank fuck we’ve got you! somebody needed to pointlessly restate the latter half of the video while carrying water for the millionaire CEO of a nonprofit grift and I certainly as fuck would rather fucking die
