Maybe it was born that way or he is sitting in that exact spot to cover up his nazi symbol?

85% of people have that IQ or higher. Maybe they do it this way so those that don't get it don't feel sad about the results?

I would do a charge back with my bank / credit card. He didn't get the goods or service he bought and it was because of the company so I'd say there is a chance. It also would hurt MSG a tiny bit.

I didn't think of using read only replicas, that would probably be a very good way to go since its probably 80%+ of actions are reads. Thanks for answering, I am excited to see the how lemmy grows and thanks for all the devs hard work!

I 100% agree with this and there have been great strides since I started using Lemmy ~v0.17! That said at some point optimization will have lower returns and have a higher effort to put into and once a community grows extensively it likely might not be enough, so I was curious to what you guys were thinking at that point, something like Ctius for sharding postgres?

It is a k8s cluster and using ceph for all of my storage so the latency from that I bet is the largest reason and upping the memory offsets the disk writes. i also have another postgres DB syncing as a fallback for high availability. Fortunately after tuning the database and giving it enough RAM my instance has been running pretty stable for over a year without any changes.

I am also using less powerful computers for the entire infrastructure (not server grade) which brings to the point of having horizontal scaling on database I imagine will be a growing need with growing instances, communities, and users since it can be cheaper to run multiple smaller spec servers rather than a single with the added benefit of high availability.

Yeah I used pgtune as a base and found more memory needed to be assigned to certain spots especially to keep federation with bigger instances, otherwise timeouts would occur resulting in my instance being constantly behind.

That said I read postgres 17 is much more memory efficient, though I have yet to move my lemmy database to it yet since its the largest haha.

On the server perspective, I have a question, what are your thoughts for horizontal scaling on the database? This seems to be the biggest limitation and requiring higher spec hardware to scale especially for the bigger instances.

My tiny instance for example I give over 20GB of RAM just to postgres to make it perform efficient enough.

There is an issue open requesting this... I been following it for a while.

Issue #2631

The steam deck already does limit charging to 80% after being plugged in for an extended period of time so the battery cells will still have a charge but no be in the harmful range.

But that affects the president(s pocket) directly so that is the ONLY thing that will be investigated now probably.

Mine has a remote update functionality that has yet to be used! I think it only is for updated to the screens, anything else needs physical udates, I assume those are firmware upgrades on specific components.
