Share ko lang yung 500-day streak ko sa wordle 😤

Be the kind of man you would approve your daughter of dating.

Nakita ko lang 'to dati sa random Reddit thread (from askReddit ata?) and it stuck with me since. Happy Tuesday, phlegmmings!

I was talking to a friend about the recent issues Lemmy, and lemmy.world in particular is facing.

I suggested that while the scaling issues on the Lemmy software itself is being worked upon, maybe more "bland" country/region instances where people can join is a viable solution....

That I'd love to make an account on lemmy.sea (a Southeast Asian Lemmy instance)

Jose, can you see?

Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is the one thing that never gets boring to eat?

Minsa'y Isang Gamu Gamo is getting the boutique label treatment via Vinegar Syndrome!

tl,dr: It's the movie where Nora Aunor yells the iconic "My brother is not a pig" lol

I'm sleepy

Someone brought up bailing from Twitter in the previous RD thread, and I quickly remembered how I would tweet just to keep myself entertained with the long queues. Wala pa ako mobile internet a long time ago so I'd have to send my tweets to a dedicated Globe number and they will post it. Parang old school telegram, lmao.

This was a pic from one of my older tweets. Yung mala-isaw na pila ng jeeps sa North Avenue terminal.

Edit: To be clear, this was a pic I took during that exact tweet. It wasn't on the tweet itself since I obviously can't upload images (nor did Twitter support it yet).

work to survive... ugh how annoying

Good morning! Gusto ko magabsent aaaaahhhh

Parang naging default instance kasi ng most of those who join Lemmy ang .world, which dapat mag spread out between instances para hindi ma-strain yung capacity ng mga bigger instances. Kaya nga may federation. It's not that hard to subscribe to a community from another instance naman. Most of the communities I'm subscribed to are not in lemm.ee but that's the beauty of federation, I can still interact with the other instances while never actually leaving my instance. Siguro kailangan din natin i-direct and mga incoming users to other instances para ma share ang load between multiple instances. Just my 2 cents.

Testing via lemm.ee since I'm still having issues with lemmy.world.

Removing cult is really difficult.

Growing pains for Lemmy

TL;DR: Accessing lemmy.world from a faster instance feels faster because you're probably not really accessing lemmy.world.

There's likely two contributing factors as to why lemmy.world has been acting up lately:

• It has the highest number of users to my knowledge.
• It recently upgraded to 0.18.1-rc which in turn has resulted to some performance issues.

From my experience, it seems like there's an issue with how the lemmy.world's frontend interacts with the backend. But it doesn't seem to affect users from other instance because as I've said, they're not really accessing lemmy.world.

To elaborate, there was a post weeks ago on how beehaw defederating with lemmy.world affects the lemmy.world users. Of particular interest is an explanation on how ActivityPub works.

The way federation works is that the community on beehaw.org is an organization of posts, and you’re subscribed to it despite your account being on lemmy.world. Now someone posts on that community (created on beehaw.org), on which server is that post hosted?

It’s hosted on both! It’s hosted on any instance that has a subscriber. It’s also hosted on lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, etc. Every instance that has a subscriber is going to have a copy of this post. That’s why if you host your own instance, you’ll often get a ton of text data just in your own server.

And the copies all stay in sync with each other using ActivityPub. So you’re reading the post that’s host on lemmy.world, and someone with an account on beehaw.org is reading the same post on beehaw.org, and the posts are kept in sync via ActivityPub. Whenever someone posts to that community or comments on a post, that data is shared to all the versions across the fediverse, and these versions are kept in sync. So up until 5 hours ago, they were the same post!

So if I'm understanding it right, if you're reading and commenting on this particular post, you're really interacting with a copy of it in your instance. Your instance and lemmy.world will then synchronize the data through the ActivityPub protocol to ensure users from both instances sees the same content. This is a backend-to-backend interaction and thus may not be completely affected with lemmy.world's issues.

Since we're on the topic of moving between instances, I recommend this tool to migrate your subscribed communities from one instance account to another: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

For those using linux, btw, you probably don't have install Python3, as it's likely already installed in your system. If you already have git installed, it's even easier.

Here's what I did:

• Go to whatever subdirectory you want to install lemmy_migrate on. In my case, it's ~/Projects.
• Go to the repository (linked above) and go to Code and copy the Git HTTPS link
• Type git clone <url> where url is the link you copied in the previous step
• Press enter to start cloning the repository
• Go to the repository directory and edit the config.ini file, putting in your account details.
• When ready, type python3 ./lemmy_migrate.py -c config.ini
• Press enter to start the 'migration process'.

I think its time for this "sun" to set, and with it this account. The sun must set so that tomorrow's sunrise will come.

I have always loved you from the bottom of my heart, your flaws, your struggles, everything about you. When i learned new things about you, I fell more in love with you. I loved you for being you

But alas, It has to come to this end. Even though you deleted all your messages, the pictures you sent. Those memories still live inside me and i will cherish those moments.

I'm leaving this meme that i saw here too, it captures perfectly just how much i loved you

Bye~~~

Pag ni-require talaga yon iiyak ako, kung sino man ang kumokontrol ng takbo ng mundo sana pagbigyan moko sa hiling ko na wag i-require yon, mas pipiliin ko pang magka cancer o alzheimers o kahit anong malubhang sakit o kahit hanggang 30 yrs lang ang life span ko kapalit lang ng hiling ko, mas better pa nga kasi may chance na ma outlive ko ang mga pets ko, wag mo lang ako pag kaitan sa hiling ko, gagawin ko lahat, nakasalalay buhay ko dito kung di mo man bigay ganun din naman dadatnan ko "kamatayan" pero di agaran ma dedepress muna ko bago ko siguro mapatay sarili ko, mas pipiliin ko pang magkaroon ng malubhang sakit, mabuhay hanggang 30 yrs old basta makamit ko lang hinihiling ko sa ngayon kesa di moko pagbigyan sa hiling ko na siyang magiging dahilan ng pagka depress ko at kamatayan sa dulo

accidentally splashed my eye with xylene 😀👍

teka lilipat tayo sa lemm.ee??

@ExploringLiterature ang bagal mo.

Yan kase puro ka Lemmy.world. Tara na sa lemm.ee

Signed, Your (faster) parallel ~~universe~~ instance counterpart

Oy tulog na huy, kanina pa kita hinihintay mag-off (takte sana naiwan mo lang na nakaopen). Why do I care so much for you again today? Sige ka baka di ka na lumaki niyan hehehe. Pero yeah, good night kung nandito ka man, and yes, obviously, it's hard to just magically un-care you know?

[Edit 6AMish] Pakiskip na lang po. Still, I wish every one good morning. Ingat sa lahat and do your best today!

Some thoughts, did not get much sleep today. I'm not complaining. It's just that some days, it's truly hard holding back what I want to say to you, pero kasi kailangan ko bang sabihin? I mean I could be busy with a love life now, but I've been given you to look after. Maybe kakahiling ko for you, deep down I may have wished sana parte ako ngayon of what makes you going, too.

Maybe I'm just having a hard time accepting that all this is probably over, and I have to really move on now. Maybe not really, I don't know anymore, my judgment's impaired. Maybe I need to take a break again, and that is likely what I'll do.

Hey, og:images/thumbnails are finally showing up when posting news articles!

Edit: Looks like it only works if you're posting from lemm.ee. Say, that gives me an idea...
