How to run background jobs?
  • I looked into this last week for recurring tasks in an actix-web project and ended up picking fang, but haven't really battle tested it.. But seems to do what I need. I'm using cron tasks with Postgres as the backend to run a recurring task every minute.

    Friday Facts #375 - Quality | Factorio
  • Yeah, I felt the same ad you until I found out the opt in part.

    As far as I understand, the only way to get above default base quality is to first create the new modules that will give you a chance of increased quality items, kickstarting a feedback loop of quality items.

    But as long as you have base quality materials and base quality machines you get base quality results.. So I think I'm on board, but it was the weirdest update I've seen so far for Factorio

    How to connect to the database if Lemmy is in a docker container?
  • Oh yeah, try specifying the hostname as localhost (I think it's -h, but --help will confirm it). Psql tries by default to connect to that socket, but in docker it does use it.

    Basically, you'll need to specify the hostname and user (and if port, which should just be default, then -p 5432)

    It should be

    docker exec -it lemmymydomain_postgres_1 psql -h localhost -U lemmy (dbname)

    Keeping in mind that you'll need to have the right user and database name, assuming (based on your original comment) lemmy being the username and the db name might also be lemmy

    Edit: this should btw just get you into the db, I have no idea of its a good idea or not to delete a user directly from the db, it might cause issues, but I don't have experience with it, but just generally use postgres in docker with other projects

    How to connect to the database if Lemmy is in a docker container?
  • You might be able to just run docker-compose exec postgres psql to drop into a shell (you may still need to define the user with -U lemmy)

    If you're trying to connect with ane external tool though, you'll need to expose the ports temporarily, which I'm not sure if you can do without restarting the container (after adding the exposed ports to the docket compose file, like 127.0.0.1:5432:5432)

    Zoraxy (a selfhosted Reverse Proxy)
  • Officially, no. I'm an avid caddy user for years and not looking to change, as I'm very comfortable with config files and cli, but I have to admit Zoraxy looks very slick!

    I might give it a try soon, I'm starting to embrace more nice UI to work with although I'll always feel most at home in the terminal

    What are your thoughts on bots and people posting only news articles on lemmy?
  • It really annoys me, especially as there seems to be at least two lemmy instances that are 99% just a bot reposting everything from reddit.. Really wish I could block whole instances
