We can see it ourselves. We use rabbitmq for incoming (and maybe outgoing, it’s been a while since I looked at how it is) federation. So, you can see the queues there. For incoming (from rabbitmq) and outgoing there are also queues (symfony messenger) and these handle failures and can be configured and can be queried.

After the upgrade I just took the default configuration again (because it seems queue names changed). But I used to have various rules setup in rabbitmq for retries and it took a fair few tries before the messages ended up in the proper “failed” queue (which needs manual action to retry). Some items you eventually need to clear (instances that just shutdown, or instances that lost their domain for example). They will never complete.

But it’s not exposed in any way to my knowledge. Well unless people have their rabbitmq web interface open and without login of course.

I think it must be hit/miss. Because I think those edits I made would have gone from my instance to world and then from world to .ee, and it was happening within seconds.

So, presumably random stuff is being dropped or delayed?

That makes sense. So it’s showing me world’s federation with me and not the other way (since I’m not sure such info is available on mbin)

Wait, how do they get that data remotely? I was looking at my instance vs world and I saw there’s like the +1 hour from a week or so ago when I upgraded to latest mbin lol.

I guess they’re looking at common activities and when they appear on each?

Looking at incoming request. .world is working OK for me. They seem to be batching stuff like I’ll get nothing for 30 seconds, then over 3 seconds like 50+ requests.

Of course I don’t know if their queue is backed up and I’m getting delayed stuff. I’d need to stop processing and look into the incoming queue to see what they’re sending.

Bit of an edit. Looking at incoming again I can see under newest items, an entry from world that was 11 minutes old. Oh I have an idea. I’ll see if this edit gets there in a timely manner.

Spoiler alert, it was instant.

Oh ignore me. It’s specifically between those two instances I guess.

Well for a gamer no real comment. But there is one metric Intel still trashes AMD in for the APU. Hardware video acceleration/encoding. The quality is objectively better on Intel Quicksync.

When getting a home box that also needed to do transcoding, Intel CPU was a requirement. My desktop development/gaming system? Ryzen + NVidia.

You can hide them fine, by not having an account and not visiting the site :P

You know, I think he says a lot of the stupid shit he does, just so his name is constantly in the news cycle. Just like the old 1980s game “A rockstar ate my hamster” the phrase “Any publicity is good publicity” must be his mantra.

Anyway, I agree. I’m sick of hearing about his latest antics.

I mean, you say that. But I think there’s money to be made here. If we just create a new name for pasteurisation processes and market it as “that thing” raw milk. Of course with a 200% markup. Free money!

I’m on NVidia with blob driver, KDE Plasma on wayland on Arch. Yeah, standby to resume is like 50/50 the screen will come back. I just turned off stand-by and kept screen sleep only.

But I’m on desktop so less of a problem for me than it would be for a laptop user.

That said there could be better ways to show info like this on the fediverse. Except, it’s complicated.

You could be banned on an instance, but also separately banned on an individual community on an instance, or your instance could be defederated from one running a community. Any of which could lock you out in theory.

It’s not as clear cut as closed systems. This is mostly a good thing but for clarity, not so much :p

I did a routine upgrade on my mbin server, where I had an old version with changes I made myself.

Well turns out I upgraded something (probably redis) that broke symfony that broke everything.

So I had a fun afternoon upgrading to the latest mbin version. I mean I needed to anyway but my hand was forced.

Yep sometimes an innocent looking update will change your weekend plans.

Anyways, any reason not to use ssh?

Not a bug! That’s a feature.

How about freaking No!

Lemmy might be written by communists, but nothing stops you using it on an instance that is not.

Also, there’s other threadiverse apps out there that work fine with the federated network if you really don’t want to use one created by “communists”

I don’t think making this place a total echo chamber, by telling people to “go back to reddit” is in any way a good thing.

I’ve yet to have an actual game dislike wayland. But you’re right, there is always the option to swap.

I thought that too, and things got better when I set 1x scaling on both (it was 1/1.5) but it’s not stopped the problem entirely.

The privacy stuff? I’ve seen it happen in 11 for sure. I always check after an update now out of habit. But, not seen it in a while.

Resetting dual boot stuff? Before EFI/UEFI it would happen on most windows updates. It would just overwrite the boot record in a totally arrogant fuck you to whatever was already there. But since EFi/UEFI it plays nice with other operating systems generally.

I can’t use my plugins for elite dangerous or extra software, like EDMC.

Why not? The github page even says it will work with wine. I’ve not played ED for a long time. But, I am sure I had EDDiscovery at least working with it in linux a few years ago. Other games like WoW I have external tools that interface with it working fine, some within the same wine environment, some even external. You just need to make sure the drive is mapped (you can always go via the Z: drive too) where the app expects it.

From my experience, I have steam working and pretty much every game I want to play has worked. I don’t play games with kernel anti-cheat even in windows, so I’m not missing anything there. Battle net runs fine even with ray-traced shadows in wow. Pretty much everything else I need works. The only things I miss are the games that are part of XBOX/Windows store, but that’s hardly Linux’s fault. Maybe visual studio too. But I do have the OSS “Code” to cover most I did in VS so…

I have dual boot, I’ve not used it to go to windows in weeks. Almost everything just works fine.

I’ve been lucky then, only problems I’m having (Wayland + NVidia) are:

• Steam menu corruption, mostly on friends window (can be solved by maximising window)
• Maximising browser on my second screen results in not all the screen being used, but buttons react as if they were using the whole screen (so you’re not clicking where you think you are). Solution is to resize window to maximum manually. Minor annoyance.

Oh and I disabled stand-by entirely. It’s was 50/50 if it would return from it. I think most problems are because I have mismatched resolutions (1080 and 1440).

I had this on the commodore Amiga. It was an absolute classic.
