Made a post. It started getting traction. Edited to replace 'bitching' to 'complaining' to appeal to a wider audience. lol

I had already made my post more wholesome by saying bitching instead of what I wanted to say during post editing before I hit "Publish!"😂

In my heart, I know bitching is still there in the edit history and the other is floating around in my little grey cells and that is good enough for me. 🤭

I love how people are making this a Mastodon demon, and maybe there should be a Mastodon fix, but complaining about Mastodon because your public publishing platform can't handle up to 25K page hits randomized in a short minute or so, seems more on you & not the system getting the content

If these were deliberate users coming to view/read their link, it would be fixed by the complainers in an hour or so permanently

Does #ArchiveOrg slow feed torrents so torrents don't get stopped?

I've a torrent that's been locked at 91% for days

I can go to their website &download as fast as my browser &internet will let me but when I use a #torrent, it seems to totally rely on everyone else that may be seeding that torrent. If they slow fed, I could have gotten the 90% elsewhere &the last 9 from them slowly or is it my issue

Do I start over &just download 100% from them to get the file–use their bandwidth? @textfiles

Man at fence screaming let me in and shaking his head in a panicky way

...Dump 6 large boxes of instant mashed potatoes through the kitchen drain and then run the hot water through the pipes until the people down stairs have mashed potatoes coming out their drains, just to force the landlord to get the plumber there to fix a slow draining shower drain

I once told my wife RFK JR must have done some heavy drugs because something ate up his brain.

Apparently, it was a worm, 🪱, and most likely a pork tapeworm. #USPol

RFK Jr says a worm ate part of his brain and died.

I didn't mean literally.

1/ So far, in the last 5 hours I've had a tornado a quarter mile south of my house &just now one a quarter mile north of us

Looking out the windows, it looks like nothing is wrong from the winds, etc, except my 3-year-old blackberry bushes have been yanked up by the roots & are in the middle of our driveway

I there has to be one I hope, just for spite, a tornado or storm, sucks up my old broken-down garbage can that got stolen last week and drops it back in the yard😂

645 days after setting up my own Mastodon instance, I finally tackled tuning my Postgres database config last wk & today setup multiple Sidekiq Processes after my queue got to 10K for the second time this wk

I read the guides multiple times over those 645 days but it never clicked in my head. I was afraid to mess with Sidekiq because I didn't want to brick my instance.

Then today, during the thunderstorm, the old grey cells clicked in and I understood.

Queue cleared up quickly
