[COMPLETED] Migrating media server
  • I’ve read the cloud engineering headache write up from a few different Lemmy servers now so I no longer can remember which ones are on CDNs and which ones aren’t. Are you backed by anything in particular? Once you are on object storage you are likely to find a surprising egress bill if you aren’t caching the images and other content at a higher CDN tier.

    You should also more or less immediately get lifecycle policies setup in your object store to tier older posts into cheaper storage. It’s 10-20 minutes of learning effort that stands to save you thousands of dollars. The trade offs with storage classes are usually cheaper storage as reads get more expensive. Since Lemmy promotes fresh content there is likely a balance you can strike in your lifecycle policies to drive storage costs down for older content that is unlikely to be loaded a ton of times.

    The Fall of Stack Overflow
  • Both times i issued a dispute only for it to be completely ignored. Eventually I used a scrubber bot to delete every contribution I ever made instead of letting random power mods just steal content on my high profile posts.

    The Fall of Stack Overflow
  • Honestly I have a question I answered myself and was up for over 10 years with hundreds of views and votes only for the question to be marked as a duplicate for a question that verboten has nothing to do with the question I asked. Specifically I was working with canvas and svg and the question linked was neither thing. The other question is also 5 years newer so even if it were the same it would be a duplicate of mine, not the other way around.

    Another one is a very high rated answer I gave was edited by a big contributor to add a participle several years after I wrote it and then marked as belonging to them now

    where are people getting fans-style content
  • I have no idea what that is. I mostly mean zero days of basically any top 100 or so model on those sites are becoming super hard to find unless they are in the top 10 or so

  • With the collapse of hqcollect I’m not really sure where to get the kind of content one would find on manyvids, patreon, or onlyfans. This stuff seems to not really show up in indexers on Usenet (dog, geek, etc) or my preferred private tracker (ipt). I’ve even gone as far as digging into spotweb for this stuff. Am I just in the wrong indexers or trackers? I really prefer to stick to direct downloads (Usenet or straight https) over torrents so I admittedly just avoid that space unless it is a last resort
