For years I had been hearing about Engelbart's "Mother of all demos" in 1968, but never realized it was actually available online. Watch it at https://youtu.be/B6rKUf9DWRI?si=L6e6X2aSk1RSBr7R then consider what most programming environments were at the time. It must have been unthinkable for most pros then. Awesome !

@fgm it is truly awesome, I refer to it more often than I care to admit. The sketchpad demos are something else too https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6orsmFndx_o

We're currently having issues with the community instance, as reported by some users, the ingress and pull processes have been lagging during the weekend.

We've restarted the services and it is slowly coming back to normal but we have this issue too often now to ignore it.

We believe after looking to it for a bit with the help of NITEMAN (https://www.drupal.org/u/niteman) that the bottleneck could be PostgreSQL, for the time being we've increased the memory but I think we will need more actions

It seems the Sidekiq container lags after a few days running, we've found that GitLab and Discourse use the same software as Mastodon and some users have identified the issue as well:

https://meta.discourse.org/t/very-slow-sidekiq-issue-with-large-queue-due-to-massive-numbers-of-unread-user-notifications/140716

AND

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/sidekiq/sidekiq_troubleshooting.html#investigating-sidekiq-queue-backlogs-or-slow-performance

A baby first step to be able to add custom PostgreSQL config is this issue: https://github.com/Drupal-Mastodon/mastodon/issues/4

Help is greatly appreciated!

Well, DrupalCon Barcelona tickets are out and as expected they're quite disappointing pricing-wise:

  • Tickets range from 775€ in early bird - without knowing the program - to onsite, 1330€.

  • Minimum wage in Spain for 2024 is 1134€, to put in perspective how unreasonable the pricing is for locals.

  • Student ticket is 485€ in Europe, it was 50€ for DrupalCon Portland.

I really dislike how DrupalCon has became an elitist event.

pcambra,
@pcambra@drupal.community avatar

So attendance is quite restricted to those:

  • Company sponsored. Almost exclusively the same big companies we're all thinking about.

  • Your session got selected (they're selecting WAY less sessions this year for DrupalCon, matching the expectation of less attendees).

How does this help the mission?

Btw, once again for the ones in the back: Student tickets are 485€. The annual academic fee for public universities in Spain is around 1000€.

@joachim I do not know exact numbers but it is a 2 day event now so we're probably in 60% or less.

@joachim it's 3 days seems, https://events.drupal.org/barcelona2024/program-glance

@pcambra@drupal.community avatar

@fgm @rodricels this reflection interests me a lot, at what point does the event and association exist merely to support the association and the event rather than to support the project mission.

Well that's pretty much confirmed it. Along with the cost of ethical accommodation in Barcelona. First one I'll skip for what? 18 years?

See you at devdays though :-)

Pitch-burg was a success.

Curious why there hasn’t been a new round announced yet. Maybe something will be announced at DrupalCon Portland next week?

@ultimike Port-burg doesn't have quite the same ring to it :)

A number of people asked about the mini 10" rack I used in my last video, so here's a quick 3rd channel video where I go through it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8-cdA50bpU (thanks to DeskPi for sending it!)

Did anyone ever measure the loneliness by asking people who do not have children living with them: if their spouse passed -- if they have one currently, even -- and they suddenly died how long before someone found the body? I think the numbers would be frightening.

@chx oh man, it’s called kodokushi in Japan and there are quite some depressing studies about it, this one not only talks about periods but causes of discovery https://www.researchgate.net/publication/282553115_A_Survey_of_Solitary_Deaths_in_Japan_for_Shortening_Postmortem_Interval_Until_Discover_Studija_Na_Smrtni_Slucai_Na_Samci_Vo_Japonija_Za_Skratuvane_Na_Postmortem_Intervalot_Do_Otkrivaneto
