@goat@hellsite.site yooo why did noone tell me this

covid nlpol -- (as always...), caps 

@erikk@chaos.social "it's too warm im just gonna sit over here"

except that my server discovery code *did* have a bug in certain server configurations so failed to fetch media from those...
should be an easy fix today, and due to the drop-in nature it was incredibly easy to temporarily disable the media proxy

covid vaccine + 

got my set of appointments via website now just have to try calling later today to see if it can be moved earlier, 8th of July is first shot

just needs more polish and the final chapter, should be doable :))

the Product Service System report they provide as an example from last year is hella dystopian, integrating with WeWork (startup BAD) to create sleeping pods at work for your ~productivity~. oh and you get monitored and asked to share your sleeping data because why not

@forestjohnson actually yeah, that's a big difference hah, I should add a gauge for that :)

@forestjohnson yeah, I think pixie.town's users are in a rather diverse set of rooms, so media tends to get accessed only a few times

synapse's own media API is *only* used to fetch local content when it's no longer in the RAM cache (shown as 'synapse' in the top right gauges)

All other requests are handled by the proxy, which directly contacts federating servers (remote)

A graph would be good yeah, when I have some more time

alertmanager is great because now my servers can scream at me

and I've heard 0 complaints and some people probably didn't even notice the deployment :D

other than that, synapse-media-proxy seems to work well, nice and stable and memory use is pretty great too, even with all the thumbnailing.

Turns out most of the requests are thumbnails of media from other servers, which makes sense because that's how they appear in the timeline, only hitting /download when you click to see full res

@erikk@chaos.social yeah that's what cosmos does too, but terra is an old gamer laptop with an external fan and it really doesn't take heat + load well
