Sure but let's include the graph back to ~2000 or so

See, now I have had a few things pegged as being in the denial phase for a while. I'm in Australia, so the housing market I have had pegged to collapse, also I figured we would be heading into a recession coming on 3 years ago and changed businesses to "weather the upcoming recession"

Now while things have cooled off since then, and I still think both elements are overcooked, I obviously moved way to soon.

So my question is, how do you time the denial phase? The housing market issue has been going on for about 30 years from what I can tell (though it got more reasonable for half a minute a bit over a decade ago and then went stupid again).

In my lifetime, and I'm 40 now, I haven't seen a proper major correction where bad decisions and greed was punished. I should have been "taking stupid risks" the entire time and I would have been just fine.

You'd be less depressed if you got some sea air into.

I'm pretty sure he is already the head dictator of emperor musk, so therefore he is just acting as he is, not what he wants to be

There have been a lot of opportunities to use those guns for what they are meant for and the only person brave enough to do it was luigi

I want to make a shit post but this is something I battle with at my core.

And unfortunately it's been reinforced by those around me.

So I would like any suggestions if there are any

I read the first post, spotted nothing amiss, saw this, thought it was a correction, then noticed they were both the incorrect spelling

Sun Tzu's Concubines (titusng.com)
 

This whole situation reminds me of the fable of Sun Tzu and King He Lu's concubines. I've linked a copy of the story, better than my TlDr, but here it is anyway. TlDr; Sun Tzu was tasked with training the kings concubines as soldiers. He gave them instructions, and they refused to carry them out, laughing and not taking it seriously. He then had two of the Kings favourite concubines executed against his wishes. Suddenly they were taking it very seriously and doing the right thing.

It doesn't take much to control a populace. The arrest of Luigi will make people he might have targeted feel safe again. But if they didn't feel safe - ie he was never caught - he might have made real change and the targeted group would start doing the right thing for fear of retribution.

It would have been an interesting alternate timeline.

Content has gotten much better (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'll admit I've drifted off Lemmy the last month or so.. content was a bit repetitive and felt like just an echo chamber of the same ideas. I didn't go back to Reddit, Reddit lost me to tiktok it turns out.

Jumped back on now and so many more posts have inspired me to comment. I'm a comment contributor generally but I wasn't feeling it.

Anyway.. just wanted to pop in and say I'm really enjoying it. Not that I was ever going anywhere but this is a great trajectory

This is one of my favourite YouTube channels at the moment. Really high quality medium form documentaries. I particularly love this episode. They are growing but still pretty small.

Server stats etc (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey, one thing that has confused me a bit about Lemmy is just how bad it seems to be at handling any traffic at all.

Do you have any stats on how many request per second etc you are getting? I saw the thread the other day with your 24cpu server and the graphs and figure if anyone has a bit of a handle on it, if figure this community can work it out.

Like, if its just doing a couple of database reads and (from what i can tell I'm on mobile) just serving a JSON API to a single page JavaScript application, why is it so hard on the server?
