some of the meta going on fedi rn is EXTREMELY reminiscent of the early llms russia used to divide america the prompt is basically the same; "waste as much of their time and effort as possible"

@cthululemon@social.cthululemon.com to move masto to another server, we do something called a "lift-and-shift" to borrow a term from the construction industry. this is where we shut it down, move all the files, and start it back up. to get in to the extreme details and why's would be to start citing the deep magic that founded the internet, but, the quick and dirty generic process is: -1: take inventory of what exactly is being moved. are you moving volumes and database dumps or only volumes? if so, treat them as separate migrations. do you need to make considerations for networking changes? 0: spend a few hours looking over the configs to see what (if anything) you need to change. config changes are otherwise avoided during migrations. 1: alert your users/temporarily redirect DNS to a maintenance page/otherwise handle obligations you need to for scheduled downtime. 2: stop the stack. 3: do any data dumping that may need to happen. 4: copy & import it to the new host. 5: change the DNS & start the stack. for masto in specific, if you're running the most basic self-contained docker compose stack for it, then you'll really only need to copy the volumes over and won't need to bother with database dumps.

to those who are migrating from gitlab to forgejo:

hmu if you need help. we did this at work over a year ago. migrating repos is easy, orgs/projects are hard, and so are users. i can share the scripts we used to handle that stuff, if needed (they are not scripts of honor...)

NFS respects sparse files. throw conv=sparse in your dd's that happen over NFS 👍 them shits saved me over 70GB of transfer at 802.11b speeds

@vampiress@eigenmagic.net the Endless games are a great example of nailing the UI and then keeping that UI persistent across all the games, regardless of the genre of the game. i suppose that it helps that they're all turn-based. https://www.amplitude-studios.com/#Home is the author's site.

Welcome to NetBSD!

This is a release candidate for NetBSD.

new vps, new RC.

also the unofficial support for netbsd is growing. this host had an older stable release on file and it was zero issue to sysupgrade to 11.0_RC2 \m/

@alrs@lsngl.us there's only two people alive that can look at my mom's name and pronounce it correctly, me and her. nobody or no system knows how to pronounce it, and her friends don't even call her by it at all. makes screening calls real real easy. but i worry. eventually they'll get it right..
