I have actually a bit of insight in this topic. Right now, in Germany there is research done in how much microplastics will affect you or animals.

I've been to the laboratories where they test for this stuff and conduct the research and talked to them quite a bit.

1. Plastic is used because its chemically stable. Which means, its not releasing chemicals or reacting a lot to chemicals. In fact: If you eat it, it will just flush out of your body in a few weeks of time. You don't have any chemical in your body that could potentially react with plastic and release dangerous chemicals.

2. Even if it ends up in a cell of your body, it will just stay there and do nothing, since its chemically stable. After a few weeks the cell will die (which is fully normal, every cell in your body dies quite often and gets regenerated) and regenerate.

3. The only, until now found theoretical maybe dangerous point is: If it enters your liver, it will stay in your liver (Your liver is designed to do this). If you eat too much microplastics your liver could potentially theoretically grow in size and affect other organs. But you'ld have to eat it spoonwise.

So, in short: No. I'm not afraid of it, or do I think about it a lot. Research suggests its actually doing nothing. Don't read the newspapers that earn money by scaring people, and start reading actual research papers. Fun fact: Most articles cite the research papers wrong, or are way to overexaggurating. Just read the linked papers, its way less grim than they want you to think. Even though, its quite a weird thought to me knowing that we f*cked our planet so much that they actually found this stuff in unborn babies. I mean. Come on.

Had a cold for a few weeks and didnt't went to a doctor. Thought it was gone at some point. But it came back and suddenly I was in a hospital, having to be treated for a myocarditis. Take your med's, kids.

+1 for Fractal Define R5 - Absolute Beast

thats in Wuppertal, Germany

igo3d is also giving them out if i remember correctly. I'll keep my eyes open for free tickets, if I find some i'll inform you

Damn

People in the US: Can speak English, sometimes Spanish

People in Germany: Can speak German, had Spanish & French in school, can understand most of dutch natively and have learned some Turkish from their friends

Yes - I followed the tutorial and when I install the bouncer it sends a signal to the central server and logs activity. But it seems like that's the only time its actually working

I used the tutorial thats linked in the post. Good luck - But apparently its not really working

Wow hast du das schnell gefunden! Tausend dank.Hab mir hier an dem Thema die letzten Tage die Zähne ausgebissen!

I have no experience with the docker container, but optimization for the database and nginx/apache cacheing must be made individually depending on number of cpu cores, ram-size, etc etc etc. When overtuning for example your database it can happen that you run out of RAM, which means your system will crash or freeze. Happened to me. I run it "Baremetal" and configured it "the classic way". Tbh, after those optimizations it runs really, really fast and response times are really quick.

There are more twerks to it than "just' using mariadb and redis. Maybe look into Apache/nginx cacheing,tune your mariadb settings and stuff like that. Had performance-problems with my owncloud-instance, now it runs like a champ

Sounds reasonable. Maybe there is a way to embedd the peertube-player directly into lemmy? I mean i'm aware that there are issues which are more important right now, but maybe in the future. But i think this is actually something that may hold a lot of people back from using Lemmy

I thought this was an advertisement and i tried to block you.......
