FediHost VideoWhy Is Mastodon Using So Much Storage? <a href="https://video.fedihost.co/w/caYDRrcGDTpy7yLxBKHqzu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://video.fedihost.co/w/caYDRrcGDTpy7yLxBKHqzu</a>

Peter SolnicaI'm not sure if there's a place for auto admin panels (active_admin in Ruby or kaffy in Elixir or the OG Django Admin) anymore given that LLMs can *easily* generate kick-ass and fully dedicated admin panels in minutes 🤔I've built two pretty advanced admin panels for my Phoenix apps (so, still kinda niche tech stack) with little to no effort. Apart from regular CRUD stuff, I've got advanced features like syncing data with Stripe, or lately I built a mailing list sync with MailerLite in like 2 hours.Given this experience I really don't see why I would need a solution like Kaffy (I used it initially in <a href="https://mastodon.social/@justcrosspost" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@justcrosspost</a> and then rebuilt the whole admin panel in literally less than an hour with much better end result).What are your thoughts on this topic? 👍🏻 or 👎🏻?<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/aicoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aicoding</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/vibecoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vibecoding</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/admin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#admin</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/webdev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webdev</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a>

Mad A. Argon :qurio:After I started my first <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IT</a> job (and created my Digital Ocean VPS at that time) I decided to create kind of character card for myself, like in <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/RPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RPG</a>, for writing down my <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/sysadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sysadmin</a> skill levels and progress. I did it in Postgres, probably because database container was one of first things I had on my VPS then.I created slightly complex system of arbitrary skill and knowledge points, trying hard to not overestimate my skill levels. Like in standard games there are bigger gaps between higher levels and separate "overall sysadmin level" with own points, indirectly dependent on skills' levels' upgrades (and more directly on other kind of knowledge points). Many things are highly relative here as it is not possible to accurately describe own degree of knowledge in numbers. Also some kind of skills could have more "levels" (e.g. familiarity with more complex software learned gradually with time) than others. I have point scale for 10 levels now. And I am almost sure I wouldn't reach higher than 6-7 "overall sysadmin level" in my lifetime :blobcatsweat: I didn't update it since October 2023. Today I log in and tried to clean that mess. I feel I should make short paper notes about my progress frequently, like I was doing in previous job. Updates would be easier...<a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/admin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#admin</a> <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/geek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#geek</a> <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/nerd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nerd</a> <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/skills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skills</a> <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#learning</a>

Kay BienAs the admin of a 5 person hosted server, it often feels like we are left out of wider conversations. We don't see all comments from all users on posts of people we follow. Is there anything I can do as an admin to make sure we see as much content as possible? <a href="https://mastodon.replacementhipster.com/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.replacementhipster.com/tags/Mastoadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastoadmin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.replacementhipster.com/tags/Fediadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediadmin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.replacementhipster.com/tags/Admin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Admin</a>

Mad A. Argon :qurio:Some time ago I mentioned here, in half-joking way, self-fixing software I work with. I said Patroni <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/Postgres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Postgres</a> has the best regeneration ability I've ever seen. And currently "the best ability" includes:> After network migrations servers changed IP addresses. It broke etcd config so I had to completely delete that config and initialize etcd cluster again. Which also forced cleaning and renewing Patroni config because it is strongly dependent on etcd. Even when configuration temporarily didn't exist, connection with WAL archives (technically other separate server) wasn't interrupted (I am not even sure if real data transfer could happen at that time). It was seemingly enough to start new <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/database" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#database</a> cluster from last timeline. I don't know WHAT forced servers to immediately pull that data on fresh start. At migration time there weren't any real production data so I didn't even purposely try to restore anything.> Not so long time later (and now with real production things) some script tests, causing lots of database changes in relatively short time, beyond former server's capacity, killed master server. Patroni switched as intended and I could work on increasing server's capacity (had to do it live, not very convenient). First server finally decided data corruption was too big and to fix it automatically deleted whole /var/lib/postgresql/* directory and started to recreate thing from scratch, using data from new master server (and was doing it with at least 2 GB/s speed because why not? :blobcatjoy:).> During above mentioned process impatient tester hit again with their not optimised scripts, finally killing whole cluster. Swearing silently I increased remaining servers as it was only thing I really could do. Postgresql API mostly wasn't responsive, it had limited info about last state before final failure. It wasn't possible to force any change or affect it in any way. First server decided to delete whole directory again and recreate it (at least this time I saw exact moment in logs), at the same time second server did rewind to state of third server (why??). All these things happened automatically, without my help. I wouldn't even know what to do :blobcatsweat: And it's only beginning when we use it on production. Now I wait for stubborn users to do some more unintended durability tests... Maybe I would see it's even more invincible :blobcatamused: <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/admin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#admin</a> <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/sysadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sysadmin</a> <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/it" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#it</a> <a href="https://is-a.cat/tags/postgresql" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#postgresql</a>

🌈 BarbaPulpe 😇 ᴹᵃˢᵗᵒᵈᵒⁿMessage for <a href="https://gayfr.social/tags/Pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pixelfed</a> adminsDo any of you encounter the following? Every 6 hours and consistently, my pixelfed server goes into a high memory usage, process is php-fpm triggered by pixelfed, before being killed by oom. Clearly a bot, never happened before.Now I changed server with a full fresh install and new IP but it still goes on (even changed OS from 22.04 to 24.04, bumped RAM from 16 to 32 GB and php8.3 version to 8.4).Do you administrators see similar behavior? See attached Grafana/Prometheus dashboard for illustration on a 24-hours period.Any clue on how to mitigate such DoS attacks?<a href="https://mastodon.social/@dansup" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dansup</a> <a href="https://gayfr.social/tags/pixelfedadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pixelfedadmin</a> <a href="https://gayfr.social/tags/admin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#admin</a>
