the thing i get sad about every other time im actually active on fedi

Show

it's a little disheartening to see people run different ap implementations and their federation being super fast with the resource usage being super low, and meanwhile I'm using a rather slow to compile pleroma fork and a postgres server which slowly uses up more and more memory each day. i just feel like things should be just a little faster and lighter

i guess i could start carrying around otp builds of my fork which i can just put on any server at will, and have it start up practically instantly. would need to figure out how to build those again though

@penny fork.. what? all of the major implementations have weird ass quirks i can't tolerate. snac just doesn't show the user profile metadata, gts FORCES signed fetches at all times and as far as i've heard it's very difficult to modify it so it doesn't do that, misskey is yavascript, iceshrimp.net is just unfinished and mastodon is a microservice hellscape

All right, I'll deploy Pleroma on illumos running on a 20 year old computer and main it for a while. Just not now, because I don't wanna cook myself in the summer heat along with Intel's finest fireburst architecture times two.

@phnt I'm not intending to imply that pleromas federation is slow, although it may come across that way. It's fast enough for even an atom which I ran pleroma on for a short period of time. My 2 main problems are again, compile times being super slow and Postgres being postgres.

@phnt and FYI, I am running this thing on a Xeon, but the compile times still take like upwards of 2 minutes because of the pleroma router and whatnot. When I'm making changes to the config + fork I sometimes have to test my thing multiple times to see if it works and that time adds up.

@kirby How old is that Xeon, when I'm recompiling the router/endpoint along with some random files on my OpenBSD box, it's usually done within 20-30 seconds on a dual core.
