I wonder if it was typecasting or if Shatner himself always came on stronger than Axe™️ Body Spray with the ladies

The Kentucky Derby ran yesterday. The winner had a time just over 2 minutes. The TV broadcast was over 5 hours!

I guess it must be worth it but I can't imagine trying to come up with enough storylines to keep viewers engaged while waiting for the actual race.

msh,
@msh@coales.co avatar

@Perrin49 here are all the races that happened in the past year with extended commentary

...

(Psst... hey there is still 3 hours left! What else you got?)

Uhhh..😳 😬 ...hey check out all the fancy hats the ladies are wearing today!....

@lilithsaintcrow friends don't let friends use Google Docs. Ever.

I don't even let my enemies use it. I am notorious at work for being that person who exports every Google doc shared with them to an MS Office or LibreOffice format and sending it back as an email attachment.

Reason that I am marginally employable :blobcheeky:

Agreed.

@sezduck I'm the weirdo who thinks these devices would be cool if they just ditched the garbage AI apps and put normal mobile phone functionality in them

I just want a cheap chonky bright orange plastic phone please spare me the silly AI crap

"A group of shoppers who say they are fed up with the company's grocery prices said that as of Wednesday they would start boycotting the retailer's flagship Loblaws stores."

More power to them, but I'm pretty sure that deciding to shop somewhere else with lower prices is just, well, shopping. I wouldn't be inclined to call that a boycott.

Or perhaps I've been boycotting all sorts of shops for most of my life!

msh,
@msh@coales.co avatar

@roger OK I will shop at T&T it is closer to my house anyways

...oh wait what was that? Loblaws owns T&T?

Well shit.

Lol even if federated networks like mastodon have a problem stampeding servers because they can't share link previews in an efficient way, your site has to be run by absolute amateurs to not be able to handle this load.

https://news.itsfoss.com/mastodon-link-problem/

I mean c'mon most of your content is static just put your CMS behind a cache.

msh,
@msh@coales.co avatar

@thatgeoguy from the article:

"The website uses CloudFlare proxy presently..."

Well there's your problem right there!

While CloudFlare has immense capacity to handle a their systems are tuned to detect such activity as a DDoS and deliberately throttles or blocks that activity. Additional tuning is required and perhaps paying a premium for less restrictive traffic.

By no means am I excusing Mastodon's many inefficiencies but the problems can equally be addressed by the target websites though adopting efficiencies of their own as you say, then cancelling CloudFlare entirely.

If I can handle a million HTTPS requests a day from the garage in my back yard when there is a fedi flare-up without the assistance of CloudFlare surely bigger outfits can do better than tell everyone to stop linking to their website!
