Cautiously optimistic, as for the first time in 8 years a sleep doctor has suggested and prescribed something that supposedly helps overnight, instead of just stimulants during the day. Do I believe them? 🤔
Do Europeans actually refuse to use A/C, or is this just an “online discourse” sort of fact?
Regular reminder: May I suggest that you explain your acronyms at least once in a post or thread. 3 & 4 letter acronyms are always ambiguous. When you post to a diverse audience, you could confuse your followers. Thx!

Just adopted this handsome boy 🥰
am I abnormal enough to buy a domain name on behalf of a dog? yeah, absolutely
Cannot tell you how much I hate (seemingly the majority of) top-level domains that sucker people in with like $5 pricing and then have $50++ renewals. It's a travesty what #ICANN has allowed gTLDs to become.
The utility of collections in #Mastodon 4.6 feels pretty limited by not being able to add most accounts I can find, from what I can tell.
We are working on getting settled into the city life 🏙️

The future we got
Long shot, but does anyone have an original Microsoft Surface (the table) I could buy? 👉👈

Wow, 15 day notice 😳

These results are why getting dating advice from Gen X-ers (I assume the primary Mastodon userbase) is like getting housing advice from boomers.

We have a separate pgBouncer instance for Puma, so that any massive spikes in ingress Sidekiq traffic we occasionally receive do not interfere with accessing the website. (This is a separate issue we had with media processing in ingress/pull holding database connections open through pgBouncer until they complete for some reason)
Puma's pgBouncer instance is allowed to use 20 actual database connections (we normally hover around 14), with an additional 40 set for reserve_pool_size just in case all 20 get used.
This morning all 60 connections were being used, and when I increased reserve_pool_size to 140, all 160 connections were used within a minute 🙃
Hello #MstdnParty -
If you noticed any downtime this morning, this was because we received a massive amount of traffic from a very large number of IPs, all behind the AS132203 network "Tencent Building, Kejizhongyi Avenue"
Bots on this network appeared to be scraping every possible hashtag under the /tags/ path, which consumed all the available database connections between pgBouncer and Postgres.
Earlier this morning we mitigated these requests, and the server returned to normal.
Made a mistake the other day. Put sunscreen on, and then only later did I take off my watch 💀
Loving how the first thing in #WWDC is them announcing they are rolling back a bunch of the Liquid Glass changes they made in Tahoe hahaha
The U.S. Military Quietly Turned GPS Into a Global ‘Numbers Station,’ Evidence Suggests
A random sequence in an innocuous GPS message field is likely encrypted traffic from the U.S. military's system for remotely updating cryptographic keys around the world.Update to FIG (where I list people search site your paid removal service doesn't cover). I added Clustal and Men Stopping Violence (new additions to BADBOOL). And I removed brokers DeleteMe only covers for biz plans (special thx to @jonah for flagging!)
