  • PostgreSQL is definitely a boost to performance, especially if you offload the DB to a dedicated server (depending on load, can even be a cluster)

    Nevertheless, it probably has much to do with how it’s deployed and how many proxies are in front of it, and/or VPN. If you have large numbers of containers and small CPU/low memory hardware, and either running everything on one machine or have some other limitations, it’ll be slow.

    Admittedly, I’m not very familiar with the codebase, but I feel Apache isn’t improving the speed either. Not exactly sure how PHP is nowadays with concurrency and async, but generally a microservice type architecture is nice because you can add more workers/instances wherever a bottleneck emerges.











  • It’s starting to look like a pattern. An ugly, one I might add. Slowly making everything less inclusive, less accessible… Until it’s some radical right-wing brown swamp.

    I mean, it’s “only” social media platforms, but pretty much the playbook - “oh that… that’s an accidental side effect… don’t worry!” until key institutions are undermined and then switch to full on fascist regime.

    All not because of beliefs this would be best for humanity as a whole, but being in love with the idea of being the one who calls the shots. King of the hill made of feces.

    The lack of vision for an enlightened role of humanity in the universe disgusts me.

    Sorry for the rant, I might have gone from 0 to 100 pretty quick there, lol. Just pissed at a lot of these kinds of regressive developments lately.
