Instability on the app? (lemmy.ca)
 

Hey all, I am having trouble submitting requests this morning to Lemmy.ca. Creating posts (like this one) I attempted 3 times all of which failed to complete their requests after minutes of waiting.

Beefier servers needed? More caching? Sure, let's do that. That said, I think there should be some UI improvements on the client side that improve the experience when we do encounter flakey servers.

My suggestion is to time out on the high-request-count workloads on the client side so that you're not accidentally hammering the server with requests that won't complete. Client side js code should convert a request like the create post green button to a error / retry button with text explaning what happened (hey the request timed out after x seconds).

I don't imagine /create_post is a high throughput endpoint, but suffice it to say that my request continued to wait in the queue patiently for the server to never respond and it was also a frustrating client-side experience. Other endpoints are probably the culprit behind any excessive server use.

Client-side it should time out after 15-30 seconds, if not less, so that I'm not just waiting and re-typing everything into the create post form again (because there's no way to retry if it's still waiting for the server response!). Re-typing everything in is the worst!

As a refugee, I hated Canada until one specific night. Now I see this as a stage in a journey in c/[email protected]

Didn't realize you psychopaths were on here already

Controversial opinion but yes, the stochastic violence he invokes has provoked a direct and proportionate response that is morally justified.

Furthermore, people who identify with the dumper are disincentivized from pulling similar stunts. It's a good thing for society when those willing to commit actual violence with hate, trashing the words mmiwg, such as this man, it's a good thing that they now know there is physical danger or danger to their property that comes with their hate acts.

Another expert I saw mentioned that their predictions of the worst-case stuff for the future is that it will be twice as bad compared to now. A lot of lives and houses, infrastructure, etc. can be lost when live in a reality where our fire fighting has to pick and choose which cities and livelihoods we save.

I had a great time with my crew. The music was too loud at times, but other than that it was a great experience and I will definitely be returning in the future.

Hey, I'm looking to buy a new bike (or used!) that's electric in someway. Any recommendations that won't break the bank? $2k for a bike has got me reeling.

Sea Bears Basketball! Who has been? (lemmy.ca)
 

I am going to my first game next week and I'm wondering how others have found it. I heard that the ending of the game is different, that it has a race to a certain score. Is that true? Sounds exciting!
