I really enjoy your transparency and style of communication!

Comparing it to Spez and how Reddit became prior to the migration, this is such a refreshing change

/u/Ruud is like /u/Spez but only if /u/Spez was actually cool.

It gets me every time seeing people using the product I build πŸ₯Ή

[–] ABeeinSpace 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You worked on Grafana? Your product is awesome, I use it in my homelab for performance metrics

[–] cenariodantesco 68 points 1 year ago (6 children)

It's been very snappy today, nice work! Is it all under Docker Compose with the node handling Nginx and Postgres as well?

Why did you guys roll back the UI to .7 from .10? I enjoyed some of the UI improvements, but I guess there were some bugs?

Edit: I see its back to .10 maybe I had a browser tab open from before that I never refreshed

[–] UndulyUnruly 15 points 1 year ago

Iβ€˜m really grateful for your and your colleaguesβ€˜ work. Thank you for letting us lemmy around here!!!

mastodon.world has the same server but with twice the RAM :-)

I can’t believe how fast you’ve managed to crowdsource and fix things on this instance. I haven’t seen many problems at all sharing comments and things.

[–] Gubb 38 points 1 year ago

This is awesome! As a systems engineer for my day job, I love seeing stuff like this!

[–] Kaliax 29 points 1 year ago

Some of my usage is in this data and I like that.

[–] tallwookie 27 points 1 year ago

pretty gauges. the instance seems to be more stable/responsive today

[–] UnfortunateShort 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How much is that in beans?

Damn that’s a huge chunk of (what looks like) a 64 core CPU there. Impressive!

It’s cool it can aggressively cache that much. Although I am perplexed why one would have a swap file configured in this case? What does it give you here? Sorry not trying to be an elitist or anything just have no idea what advantage you get!

[–] ruud 20 points 1 year ago

To be honest I tend to use swap less and less. But this was in the build that Hetzner does and I didn't remove it.

[–] DoomBot5 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If your application goes wild with RAM usage, a properly configured swap will make sure the underlying OS remains responsive enough to deal with it.

How far do you see lemmy.world capable of scaling to? One thing I've been noticing is the centralisation of Lemmy users on a few top servers, surely that cannot be healthy for federation? What are your thoughts on this?

How much is this costing you? Also who is your host? Is it on a virtual machine?

I know that the RAM cache is just taking advantage of otherwise free RAM and will be dropped in favor of anything else, but it does stress me out a bit to see it "full" like that.

[–] ruud 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would stress me even more to see a lot of RAM doing nothing, that would be a shame! ;-)

[–] cashews_best_nut 12 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Difference between Windows and Linux. Windows would only use what it needs. Linux pre-empts more and fills the RAM for what coul dbe needed.

It used to stress the shit out of me when I switched to Linux as I'd gotten used to opening task manager and seeing 90% free RAM. On Linux I'd be seeing 10% free and panicking thinking it was a resource hog.

The Linux-way is the best way.

I use Arch btw ;)

That's how it supposed to work, free RAM does nothing :)

I hate that radial graphs are so popular with *Grafana dashboards. Radial/pie charts are terrible representations for humans to interpret. I tend to try and convert them either to a stat with the line/time display or a bar chart. Humans are better judging linear relationships than radial.

Radial graphs are a bit of a meme where I work as one of the C-suite managers despises them for precisely that reason.

This is so cool to see. Thanks for posting! Lemmy.world has been super smooth today

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Awesome. Gotta love Grafana!

[–] robonps 14 points 1 year ago

Looks Awesome! Glad to see the patches seem to be working.

[–] gardylou 13 points 1 year ago
