  That doesnt really have anything to do with this issue. Lemmy can absolutly be hosted in AWS via ECS (or EKS if you love Kubernetes). Hell, it could be hosted directly on EC2 if preferred.

  Federation as a whole is more resilient because each operator can chose whatever hosting solution they prefer. But if your particular server happened to be hosted in AWS in the useast1 region; your shit was gonna be a bit busted.

  Im just waiting for a sequel to battlefield 2142. 2142 was peak fps for me and nothing has come close since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not strictly true. You can still make deep connections later in life. Very true that it takes effort though, and not as easy as when you are younger. Not impossible though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its reversable. I started going back to the gym at 39 and am stronger now than i was when I was younger. I have knee pain, but thats a weight issue honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lift wieghts and or do some other physical activity. Its good to have two hobbies; a mental one and a physical one. The muscle you build now will be with you for the rest of your life, and its mucb easier to do it now than when you are middle aged like me.

  Dont focus too hard on girls, just live your life and enjoy the experiences and relationships you build with all people; everything else will follow.

  Travel, with a focus on the physically taxing things that are harder to do when you are older.

  Invest what money you can, compound interest is real and it is the path to wealth (eventually).

  I suppose technically someone could implement streaming using AP payloads. So long as the format of the payloads are the same they could translate. It would be a different thing though without the pull part of it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes eventually, just like the instances do once enough users are hitting it. Its a matter of how much all servers in the network need to scale, but also the nature of the protocol itself. Streaming binary data is more performant than individual http api requests for instance. Event streams are the way to go un a decentrliazed network for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OP would have to have their wordpress site running on multiple instances to leverage that. It would work, but now they are paying for more infrastructure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So lets say there are 100 instances. My instance needs to issue api requests to each instance to sync with the network. They in turn need to issues 100 requests to me to sync (and eachother). What about when there are 100k instances? Its exponential.

  From the looks of AT, its farily linear because its really just operating on a set of giant event streams (like kafka).

  To me, ActivityPub being based on REST APIs was always a problem. On the upside it makes it approachable, but its not really the right tech imo. Use something without the overhead of http headers and whatnot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah i guess you could look at it that way. Each instance would have to scale horizontally to handle the load, which is waste.

  I could be wrong, but my understanding is that ActivityPub is just a rest api contract that one can implement in order to communicate with the rest of the “network”. Its simple, but its such massive overhead to do this all via http. Pushing all your instances events to a dedicated stream and letting the other instnaces read it can be more performant and handle the load better. The downside though is who controls the streams?

  IRC is the OG of federation, i am sure we could learn something from it and have federated networks that are in turn federated with eachother. I dunno, just thinking out loud here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delusions of a Protocol⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see how the AT protocol is designed to scale. ActivityPub works fine now because the community is fairly small, but it will reach its limits as it is currently designed. Its basically an event driven model vs a push and pull model. Sure a docker image can more or less jusy be deployed, but that simplicity is a ticking time bomb.

  Running a relay is way more powerful than the author states though. You could do stuff like selectivly intercept and reject events before they make it into or out of the firehose.

  To be fair, if a jr dev has enough acesss to screw a prod db from a schena update, then the issue is with the seniors and managers who did not set up the appropriate guard rails to prevent that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My theory is that we have a limited number of hours a day to view content. We also have a growing number of channels and content in general. Algorithms include new content we kight enjoy, and for every new channel we get hooked on, one of the older ones drops off.

  Tv shows rarely (ever?) Last forever. Why should channels?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You didnt do anything wrong if you were being yourself. I know it sounds corny but just being the best version of you is the best thing you can do, and if someone ghosts you like that they did you a favor. You dont want to be with someine like that; you just eant to be with the idea of the person you thought they were.

  Still a bummer, but dont let a jerk define who you are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think its pretty hypocritical for anyone who isnt a male to have an opinion on the validity of an experience they cant possibly have unless they transitioned.

  Its like me having an opinion on have a period.
