What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?
  • It uses other signals too, like what other sites you've visited with that checkbox on it, what CloudFlare has seen your IP address doing in the past, etc.

    The google one is able to see if you're logged into a google account and take that into account.

    There's even a new variant of the Google captcha that is invisible and doesn't even bother to show a checkbox.

  • Is TypeScript a fad or is my manager delusional?
  • Hi, I've been doing TypeScript in my day-job and hobbies for six and a bit years now. I would not write JS in any other way.

    TS is also a superset of JS so all JS is valid (unless you turn on strict mode). So there is no productivity loss/learning curve unless you want there to be.

    In fact, a lot of people who think they're not using typescript are using it because their editors use typescript definitions for autocomplete and JSDoc type signatures are powered by typescript.

  • Review Please
  • In my experience I haven't had an issue because usually the refactorings are small. If they're not I just hop on a call with the person who wrote the MR and ask them to walk me through it.

    In theory I'd like to have time to dedicate solely to code health, but that's not quite the situation in basically any team I've been in.

  • Review Please
  • You should refactor as needed as you go because refactoring cases are never gonna be prioritised.

  • By doing this the connections are all severed, the RAM is freed up, and it’s all good again.

    Ah, neat! I didn't think of that. You can limit the size of the connection pool in your lemmy config fwiw.

    Nice, that looks like it's doing a similar thing to my weird mess of SQL and Python that I did last year haha

    Good luck for the migration :)

  • cronjob to restart the backend lemmy container

    Fair enough, that'd work. I run my database in a different pod to lemmy (I run this all in kubernetes), and I cannot restart that pod without causing an outage for a bunch of other things like my personal website. I ended up just needing to tune my config to have a maximum RAM usage and then configuring k8s to request that much RAM for the DB pod, so it always has the resources it needs.

    pictrs image cache is 250-300gb

    oof :(
    That's what my custom lemmy patch was, it turned off pictrs caching. That's now in lemmy as a config flag (currently a boolean but in 0.20 it will be on/off/proxy where the proxy option goes via your pictrs but does not cache). I then went back through mine and did a bunch of SQL to figure out which pictrs images I could safely delete and got my cache down to 3GB.

  • Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 25/3/2024
  • Interesting. I have some New Relic stuff setup with my cluster but most of that is just resource usage stuff. I ran out of RAM a while back so I've had to be a bit more restrictive about how many connections Lemmy can have to postgres db.

    There’s no progress meter and so far it has taken 2 days 😱.

    Uh oh. I considered updating to 0.5 as part of my 0.18.3-ish (I was running a custom fork I made with some image caching stuff that has since been merged in to real lemmy) -> 0.19.3 upgrade but I'm glad I didn't.

    Thanks for the heads up. Are you migrating to postgres for pictrs too, or sticking with sled?

  • Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 25/3/2024
  • These are pretty neat graphs! Is it sourced from the Prometheus logs?

    Just updated to 0.19.3 but the DB migrations failed due to a permissions change I made a while back to my DB, so I had to spend a few hours in the SQL dungeons fixing things.

  • Just voted!

    Voted early the past two elections but I decided that for the first time ever, I'd do it on the day

    Query to fix modlog

    The modlog page can break if anyone has been banned with an expiry too far into the future, I grabbed this query to fix it from the github issue a while back and refined it a little if it's useful to anyone: sql BEGIN; -- The modlog UI breaks for bans too far in the future SELECT * FROM mod_ban WHERE expires > now() + INTERVAL '10 years'; -- Lets just make them permanent as an easy fix lol UPDATE mod_ban SET expires = NULL WHERE expires > now() + INTERVAL '10 years'; -- See our changes SELECT * FROM mod_ban WHERE expires > now() + INTERVAL '10 years'; ROLLBACK; -- replace ROLBACK; with COMMIT; if you're happy

    This will make any ban with an expiry >10 years into the future permanent and fix your modlog. If this happens a lot it might be worth making this a trigger in your lemmy db.

    #3799 has a bug, so I fixed it up alongside simplifying the logic slightly and adding a config flag to opt in to this new behaviour. Currently live on https://campfyre.nickwebster.dev

    I was getting close to hitting the end of my free object storage so there was time pressure involved haha.

    Seems to work but I haven't tested it too much. Currently running on my instance.
