For the first time the Mastodon server has started to struggle just a little bit to keep up with the flow of the Fediverse.

We’ve usually been “push” heavy but we’ve started to see some spikes in “pull” queue latency. The worst of these spikes was today, where we fell behind by at least a couple minutes for most of the afternoon.

1/?

A pair of graphs showing sidekiq queue latency and enqueued jobs. The queue latency peaked at around 6 minutes at roughly 6pm this afternoon, but was between 1-2 minutes most of the afternoon. The maximum number of messages in queue at any one time was 12000. The majority of the traffic is pull queue.

@thisismissem Yes I caught that. Not going near streaming. It’s about the best description of sidekiq I’ve found anywhere though.

If there are other good resources that are more up-to-date please share.

@mick yup, scaling docs absolutely need better info re sidekiq (and monitoring)

This comic has popped into my mind every month or so for the past 30 years.

So many of the people I know are still stuck on Facebook. Very relatable 🙂

There’s this trope in zombie movies where the outbreak is just starting to take hold and the viewer catches glimpses of news reports about the emerging threat on TVs that are unnoticed in the background.

The characters don’t know that the world is ending just yet, but the viewer has a premonition of the disaster that’s just ahead.

Anyhow, feeling a bit of this about H5N1 at the moment.

@n3wjack that was last week’s alarming development, ya.

Previously it was “unprecedented global outbreak in chickens,” followed by “outbreak wipes out elephant seal population.”

This week seems to be evidence of spread to… dolphins? Bad vibes!

@mick ouch, didn't read about that. 😬

Sopwith is 40 years old! I can’t even guess at how many hours I spent playing this when I was a kid.

Intense windstorm overnight. Pleased to discover my yard furniture still in my yard.

The train station in Port Hope, Ontario, was built in 1856 and was refurbished in 1881. It was restored in 1985 and here’s what it looks like today.

No staff on site. If not for the announcement board I might have mistaken it for abandoned.

Old train station.

Just finished listening to “The Bezzle” from @pluralistic - and it’s great!

Cory has now managed to write two thoroughly entertaining, gripping thrillers featuring a forensic accountant as the main protagonist.

Seriously! No spoilers, but this book features exciting spreadsheets!

Looking forward to more Martin Hench.

Didn’t we already try Fascism and Measles and decide we were better off without them?

@mick wants to end all vaccine mandates. To protect us, of course.

Republicans like fascism and measles I guess. 🤷‍♂️

13 C on Feb 9.

Not a fan of “traditional” February weather, so I’ll take it, but this is a more than a bit creepy.

mpjgregoire,
@mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca avatar

@mick I hate this weather. February in Ontario and Québec ought to be cold, with sledding, skiing and snow forts.

I wonder what the effect will be on death rates: fewer people freezing, more car accidents because of the ice.

The Government of is accepting input on a “Regulatory Framework for an Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cap” until February 5th at midnight.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment have set up a one-click letter to make it easy to let your representative know that the cap must be strong and fair, quickly implemented, and free from loopholes favoured by the oil and gas industry.

Haley hanging in there on the slim hope that the DOJ or some lump of fat in a vein takes out the orange one before the election. 🤞

mpjgregoire,
@mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca avatar

@mick The latter must be at least a 10% chance, no?

@mick I'm still hoping Mr. Trump will dare participate in a Republican debate. Lots of ways to attack him from the right, might even shake some votes loose.
