ADHD win: I finally got around to updating the data for https://fedipact.veganism.social after putting it off for like 3 months.

Data was collected from roughly 43,000 instances, about half were offline and discarded.

ℹ️ Do you know about the vegan e-Sports team that races for Animal Liberation?

They're known as +MVT Racing, and they have a Mastodon profile!!

Though I'm not into sports AT ALL (wtf is a superbowl?), I enjoy reading about their sweet victories on the track.

>> Vegan activism needs to be EVERYWHEREEEE <<

If you agree, please share your vegan love by following @mvtracing.

With your help, we can amplify their activism. Boosts needed.

After nearly 6 years grinding from co-op student to most-senior developer at one company, I’m back on the job market looking for a new adventure.

If you like what I do here, and are hiring SWEs, please DM me for my resume 😁.

Queens hit song ‘We Are the Champions’ in my eyes is about early adopters of anarchist technologies.

I’m talking about us🥇

We have no time for fascist losers like Spez, Musk, or Zuck, because WE are the champions.

OUR Fediverse lives vibrantly in defiance, as a glimmer for hope in a dying world.

Liberating our speech from corporate control is necessary for a healthy revolution.

Thank you, champion, for traveling with us on this quest for liberty.

Politics have taken a hard-right in #Canada.

Trudeau's center-right government engulfed itself with widespread blame for causing our cost-of-living crisis.

Ordinary houses sell for $1M CAD, unaffordable to working people who've endured decades of stagnant wages.

The center-left party is associated for supporting #Trudeau in parliament.

Hard-hit people plan to protest by voting for the #MAGA aligned Conservatives, who campaign on #climate denial, #transphobia, and christian law.

Infuriating.

I'm a big fan of Friends of Animals.

They've protected animals from exploitation since 1957.

Today they're at 492 followers here on Mastodon.

Please help me and my round number fixation by extending their reach to a well-deserved 500 followers.

You can follow them here on Mastodon at @FoAorg.

I’ve been quite upset about my #ADHD for the past few days.

ADHD is a misunderstood executive functioning disorder.

The frequent conscious experiences of being unable to exercise my will is torturous.

No matter what I do, or where I go, I’ll never truly escape the shame and disappointment I carry.

I’m grateful for my accomplishments, but am painfully aware of what could had been.

Times like this give me so much appreciation for my wife, my mom, and my ride or die friends. ❤️

Mastodon's new compose form UI has been deployed on Veganism Social.

My feedback: Sweet! 👍

Mastodon admins are ignorant of our digital privilege.

The software requires fast internet, and massive amounts of mobile data to use.

Mastodon doesn't compress images because it's using a deprecated image processing dependency.

Nobody wants to work with it because it will be phased out (when?).

New users with slow internet wait 10 seconds because of the massive Javascript bundle size.

The start and end to this is we're all techies with gigabit internet and the latest gizmos.

Veganism Social now has regional web and database servers in:

🌇 Frankfurt
🗽 New York City
🌄 San Francisco
🦘 Sydney

This is highly experimental, but appears to be working with our limited rollout.

Technology used:

• Cloudflare caching w Imgproxy
• Cloudflare geo load balancer
• Load balancer path rules
• Digital Ocean managed postgres
• Postgres read-only replicas
• Custom deployment pipeline 😅

We're only using the regional servers for GET requests on our API and landing (/, /about) endpoints. All other HTTP requests go to Frankfurt where our primary db and Redis lives.

My plan for tomorrow is to make /inbox skip the load balancer and directly go to Frankfurt.
