Like, a significant issue here is the insistence people have had that up/down-votes be synchronized. People want to know what the global passive-aggressive opinion on a post or comment is, rather than the local one, which requires every single button press to be sent to each and every subscribing website. And people expect stuff to be sent out as a live stream, rather than being held back for batching, too.

I figure this could be reduced a lot if even just 1 minute worth of votes were batched together, although I don't think the ActivityPub standard technically includes batched activities currently

if the requests are all serialized, if the ping time is like 300ms, and if each request takes like 100ms of CPU time

that means you only need 648,000 actions in queue to equal 3 days

when you consider that even upvotes/downvotes of posts/comments count as actions, I could see it happening

but the queue isn't completely serialized anymore, so maybe this number is still a bit unbelievable (EDIT: seems like LW has not yet enabled the feature for parallel sending)

4K max settings with RT max, and without frame generation, only achieved 30s FPS in the game

So basically 720p doesn't perform much better than 4k, meaning it's a horrible CPU bottleneck

Just don't use lemmy.world I've seen lots of people having issues signing up with them, and they're overpopulated anyways

what happens when there's 2 different posts in the same community with the same URL, example:

https://programming.dev/post/8880813

https://programming.dev/post/1721399

(I can't find a more recent example right now)

even just some margin-top would help

I've probably played this game for over a hundred hours. Great soundtrack too, by Alexander Brandon. I also loved the minigame hidden behind the DESTRUCT cheat code.

And it's open source too!

I can't believe someone else just mentioned Hover! I haven't played it in decades lol but I did spend a lot of time on it as a kid

Sonic Robo Blast 2 is one of the best Sonic games ever!

Soldat was awesome, I loved the Rambo mode lol. That game had such good movement.

I noticed if I change the Original Publication Date on my videos it affects their position in the Recently Added list

https://spectra.video/videos/browse?scope=local&live=false&c=true&s=3

I feel like it should only affect the sort by "Original Publication Date" which is a separate feature

The combination of the Famicon and NES versions of the soundtrack gives a lot of depth and it sounds amazing

After almost 26 years, I think it's time for WATMM to go offline - the artists we follow aren't releasing as much music as they used to, and overall there has been a decline in new users/activity.

The site supports itself financially via the Google AdSense ads and those who subscribe (and renew), but the vast majority of users are participating at no cost, which I had planned on enforcing at some point but simply haven't had the time or initiative to do so.

Also, I am at the point in my life where even the minimal involvement I have in keeping the site running just isn't something I want to do anymore. I've got other interests and priorities that are my focus, and I want to have one less thing to worry about, even minimally.

I don't think it's realistic to sell or give the site to anyone, and frankly I wouldn't be comfortable with taking WATMM and doing something with it I didn't agree with. And yes, it probably could still run on "autopilot", but someone would still need to be the account holder/billing contact for Invision, AdSense, PayPal, etc.

I've turned off registrations, so nobody won't register and then find out the site is going offline.

As for when - I think ending it when it began on June 3rd would be a nice bookend.

Again, I really appreciate all your support and help over the years, and I hope you understand or at least can appreciate my decision, and ask that you continue to be respectful of the site and your fellow members.

Edit: I am not the OP
