Almost to 400 followers, thanks to everyone who follows me and shout out to kirby who is half of them
I’d tag Kirby but idk which one he uses now πŸ˜‚πŸ™„
Follow

@Tony @dcc
I have 200 on this instance, but only ~30 Kirbys. I approve my followers and I'm probably not quick enough to approve them before he moves to the next one πŸ˜…

I am. I just don't follow a lot of people on it because β€” if I do I'm afraid it might choke, you know it's not exactly running on the most capable hardware.
So I'm using both, using mine mostly for longer replies :marseyshrug:
@Tony @m0xee
@dcc
Besides, sometimes I start building something on it for PowerPC natively and when I do using it becomes unbearable β€” it even fails to receive some of the replies, I prefer to shut it down when I do that :marseyemojismilemouthcoldsweat:
@Tony @m0xee
@dcc
Man, I don't even see the parent post, the one that is "It seems i have not been followed yet......" β€” this branch is just hanging attached to the opening post. Nor I can even look it up, and it's "Unable to parse JSON…" in PeromlaFE already :marseyemojirofl:
That's what I'm talking about! If I follow you, it will receive everything from annihillation.social β€” I'm telling you, this will kill the poor thing :marseyscared:

But okay, let's make an experiment…

@Tony @m0xee
@dcc
I did! And I have played around with timeouts in Pemorla itself, but it either starts dropping absolutely everything due to timeouts or the queues grow insanely long and it slows down to a crawl β€” I have found more or less balanced values and given up on improving it further. Most probably this hardware isn't powerfull enough, considering it's also a bittorrent seedbox, hosts git and a few other things.
Oh, yes, it also runs a Python script that displays clock on a monome β€” really pretty :marseystars:

I hope you understand β€” I can't just get rid of the clock :marseysmug2:

@Tony @m0xee
@m0xEE @Tony @m0xee How much ram and cpu? a 4 core and 10gb can do a lot (i know since i have one as my http server)
@dcc
:marseylaughwith:
Oh come on, it's a low-powered Mac from 2005 designed with average joe tasks in mind β€” there were no multicore G4s and it's maxxed out at 1Gb.
It's surprising actually that this thing can pull off even this β€” thanks to PowerPC CPUs being really good at multitasking for the time, I think context switching is a cheaper operation than it used to be on Intel, that is why they remain responsive even when the system is overtaxed.
@Tony @m0xee
mac's do last, mine is 6 years old and it's still chugging along with very few issues. The new ones with the M chip can run stable diffusion.

They are quality products...
@Tony
Yeah, they are. Most of my computers are still Macs: I'm typing this post on a Mac Pro from 2008 β€” it's really old, but with two quad-core Xeons and 28 gigs of RAM, still a capable machine; one of my laptops is a Late 2011 MacBook Pro, quad-code i7 and 16 gigs β€” can still do everything I throw at it, I don't do stable diffusion or professional video editing in 4k… It can build even something big like Firefox in reasonable time β€” the only thing I care about.
I don't really need much hardware-wise β€” I can even do fun things on my ThinkPad T43, also from 2005 I think β€” the web being the biggest problem with 3 gigs of RAM, it can pull off 1 tab of modern web shit, but not more.
I'm not even sure I want newer hardware β€” especially Macs, I' disappointed in both Windows and Mac OS X (I don't even know what's it called now, macOS?). Running linux system on ARM Mac based on reverse-engineered shit sounds too unreliable… I'd probably just pick something from System 76, Purism, Tuxedo, Framework β€” there are lots of hardware makers nowadays targeted at linux users.
@dcc @m0xee
@m0xEE @Tony @m0xee SIR a 4 core mini pc is like 50$ but yea old power pc is good.
@dcc
Right now don't see the point in investing in something like that. When I get a job and have some cache to spend on these things, I'd probably pick one of those Altra boards and move all my stuff to this system. Right now everything is spread among equally anemic machines, e.g. my Gemini capsule and squid are hosted on a Genesi Efika MX, a single-core 32-bit ARM machine with half a gig of RAM, I'm not even sure how old it is β€” still runs :cirno_laugh:
