For those already owning one - try setting up pihole or an equivalent. Sony could be serving ads from a domain used by something like a cdn, but I bet they don't.

Microsoft has some thoughts about Windows Recall security (www.theregister.com)
 

Admittedly, I have a fairly serious bias against Microsoft, so it's unlikely they'll every say much I can trust; but I am genuinely surprised their marketing department didn't even bother coming up with another name to try selling this atrocity.

You won't win this one here. Lemmy is disappointingly facebook-like in terms of their seemingly endless desire to be told what to do every step of their lives.

I realise the numbers are sort of made up, but in general I fully agree. I do sometimes think that politicians regulate for the sake of it, as if justifying their existence.

Lemmy.Cafe Housekeeping (lemmy.cafe)

Due to the recent @Soup's post I have decided to do some housekeeping. I've been getting frustrated at lemmy's performance at times as well and this simply was a wake up call, if you will.

I am sorry about no advance downtime annoucement - Sunday is the only day I can really put any meaningful amount of time into lemmy.

Things done today:

  • Upgraded database VM 1 core 2GB -> 2 cores 4GB. Double the compute, double the memory.
  • Adjusted database config to account for increased resources
  • Adjusted hugepages config to account for increased database's requests
  • Updated both lemmy and database VMs
  • Rebooted the lot

Thank you for your patience. I will also use this moment of focus to write up a financial report in a separate post.

Also, thank you, @Soup!

EDIT: I've also marked all instances known to lemmy.cafe as active. What this means is that lemmy.cafe will now keep retrying to federate to everything very aggressively. This is a compute-intensive process and will also impact performance for a few hours, until exponential backoff kicks in. I've done it to revive any falsely-marked-as-dead instances; there's no fix for it on lemmy itself.

What happened to cloud portability? (www.theregister.com)
 

Despite early promises, moving between providers remains a complex and costly endeavor

Yea, it feels an awful lot like VC funded businesses - they lure you in with low pricing, bankrupt and buy out the competition and then hold you by the balls.
