๐Ÿ†• Manga review: Midori no Hibi - Volume 1

โญ โญ โญ

Got the nine volumes for this series from a friend for cheap, so I gave it a try. I think did watch the anime many years ago but never read the manga, nor had any interest.

Donโ€™t get me wrong, volume one was easy to read and fun but not something Iโ€™d invest money in having so many other good series in my to-purchase list.

"Weeknote 48 (2023)"

What used to be a weekend of massive discounts has become a regular Friday...

โญ โญ โญ

A little disappointed with this episode. It started great, cool fight on both fronts. Then the flashback was cheaply drawn, in my opinion (was the manga drawn this way? no mouth? simple comical style?).

In the end, they did not even show or animate her face exploding. This begs the question, is she dead? If she is, would've liked a front view not a back with a splash. Maybe she isn't dead?

How will Itadori get out of this one?

@prex Have not read Pension Life (yet!). Will add it to my ever growing to-do ๐Ÿ˜‚

Indeed is no doubt shonen.

@michelle Nice! On one side I think "I'd love to try this" but then I know the pressure of completing would not make it enjoyable for me ๐Ÿ˜

@eric Yeah I'm around 30Gb I want to backup.

I think rsync is the easiest, cheapest solution at the moment.

It's a shame there's no easy way to sudo into the remote server to download to local.

@nanode Thank you for the detailed post! I already have a cron for database backup, I'm looking for a single command line solution that can download all the stuff.

The only thing is rsync and rclone will work with directories that need sudo? :blobfoxthinkanime:

@jaytay Thanks, I might try rclone to local instead of to another cloud provider.

In the first half, I thought "well animated but boring" but then it picked up, enjoyed a lot the fight with Itadori and Fushiguro, so calm and yet powerful.

@ayo to the better? Have not started yet.

Was not a huge fan of the time jumps but I understand they are necessary for the story. I think it took a long time for the different stories to start converging. Similar to Game of Thrones.

@bernat @stefan this meeting could have been an emoji reaction.

Late to the party but I've finally managed to finish Season 1 of Foundation, as IMDB puts it the "complex saga of humans scattered on planets throughout the galaxy all living under the rule of the Galactic Empire."

It has been a roller coaster with some episodes being very boring episodes and others stunning.

I wanted to see more of The Empire, and enjoyed very much the previous episodes about the DNA alterations.

Have you watched it?

Nowhere near the same quality. Not production but the story itself. It felt just too disconnected. Where Game Of Thrones all the plots with the different characters / stories connected somehow and it was fantastic.

I found the second part of the episode incredibly boring. It was very fun until they encountered the gang with the ex-boss.

@DrunkCollegeKid Animation is fantastic but the main character is so creepy when his 40 year-old persona surfaces ๐Ÿคข

I'm about 8 episodes into the first season and it was somewhat funny when he was looking at his mother's breasts... but when he looks at young girls... Not cool.

@ayo I would recommend you watching the first one, which has the most tech in it.

The rest, no tech involved.

Quite disappointed with this new season that just aired.

For me what made it great was the dystopian technology futures it presented. This is season is everything but that.

Only the first episode follows what I expected and wanted to see. The rest were simply not but a different show entirely. I don't understand. Just name it something else. Why use the franchise like that.

Your thoughts?

@blackestclovers I need them to move the story a little bit farther.

Aqua met with the producer and got some leads. Hopefully we'll see something happening soon.

I feel bad for Akane, being used by Aqua like that. She has real feelings...

@blackestclovers I thought maybe it was a little slow?

I think the problem was the first episode, it was too good, with great pace.

Episode 8 was great, though. This weeks (9th) wasn't too much for me.

@losttourist
From my investigation there's no clean way to standup another instance in the same domain and don't break the internet. I guess it could be fine if you don't care about keeping followers and such (which I wanted to keep).

I'd love to read more if you end up going through with this.

@losttourist This same question is what I asked myself after installing Mastodon, running it for a couple of months and realizing I should have gone with for or a smaller backend. Mastodon is very nice but it's overkill for 1 user.

@komarispaghet One of the best period, doesn't matter it's a sports anime.

@ab Sure, added! โœ…

@mondanzo It's different. The cache retention deletes everything (posts you've liked, bookmarked, etc).

There's a PR to amend the text so it's easier to understand.

The CLI commands are way more refined and only delete stuff you haven't interacted with, etc.

@julian :blobcatfingerguns:

@julian The downside (hence why I didn't do it) is that it can't be automated. I didn't want to have to request and export, download and import it to the other system manually.

Using the Mastodon API and GitHub Actions running every day, I know my archive is fresh every morning.

@julian You could totally skip the API. Just go to your Mastodon instance profile settings and request an export of your posts.

Then have Hugo or something else read that export and build a site with it.

Very disappointed of how they developed this episode. There was no build-up to the semi-final.

Nikaido's team lost but they didn't show us a single miss/fail.

On the other hand they did show Kazemai missing to then recover with Minato's long draw.

Still, in an instant they were out. All that rivalry of the previous episodes ended in a few seconds.

Am I alone on this? Or do you also think they didn't do this justice?

@NotMyBub I'm in a single-user instance and so far seems to work fine with what I have.

The specs was why I was considering doing the monitoring somewhere else. But it's lightweight I might give it a try.

The log retention (persistent storage?) you mention, is that configured on prometheus or Grafanaโ“

Thank you

@bigdarrio Agreed, needs to go back to the first season vibes.

I think it might go into that direction from what we've seen in this first one.

The western duel shoot out with the pirates, the fighter speed chase...

The only strange thing for me was the encounter with Bo-Katan, left me a little confused.

:mandalorian:

@derbadian Agreed! :mandalorian: is so good.

First episode was decent, building up to some epic stuff. Can't wait for IG-11 to be back and join mando to shoot things up ๐Ÿ”ซ ๐Ÿ˜

@NotMyBub Interesting! I don't have strong opinion so any feedback is welcome I'm just learning about all these.

What are the specs of your machine? I do have disk to spare but just 4Gb of RAM and the machine is also hosting a bunch of other websites.

@Stephan This is the way! :mandalorian:

- Grogu is till doing cute things :grogu:
- Can't wait for the droid to be repaired ๐Ÿค–
- The meeting with Bo-Katan felt a little akward. "I'm here to join you?" :blobcatthinking:

What's your take?

โญ โญ โญ โญ /5

More background on Nikaidล and how he only shoots for revenge. Very original, dude.

I feel he's just unhappy, he practices kyudo to prove everyone wrong and avenge his uncle (even if they didn't do him any wrong? Ok, the master didn't take him as student but that's it?)

Feels a little weak plot-wise ๐Ÿคท

The animation as usual, beautiful ๐Ÿ’œ

@NotMyBub Thank you for the heads up.

Plan, for now, is to host prometheus in the same machine as the Mastodon instance and use the Grafana cloud free tier.

Or maybe it's easier with the Oracle's free tier machine. It's a little out of my game, learning as I go.

@cambraca Thank you Camilo ๐Ÿ’œ

Then maybe this is the way to go:

- Install Prometheus in the same machine
- Setup exporters to feed Prometheus
- Grafana on the cloud (free tier) hooked to the Prometheus

Sounds like a plan :blobcatthumbsup:

@cambraca I also know nothing about all the parts involved, have read that post but wasn't clear

Also found this jaanus.com/mastodon-monitoring but it's on the same machine

I'd really like to not have it on the same machine.

Would love an easy to follow blog post on how to send the exporters to the Grafana machine (on GrafanaLabs cloud) :blobfoxthinkanime:

Is the prometheus going to be on the GrafanaLabs? Or is Prometheus needed on the same machine?

Will it slow down the performance if so?

Has anyone setup Mastodon monitoring with GrafanaLabs free tier?

The posts I've found all installing Grafana in either the same machine as the Mastodon instance or separate machine.

Wondering if I could leverage that free tier for my single-user Mastodon instance

systemd[1]: postgresql@15-main.service: A process of this unit has been killed by the OOM killer.

Is it possible to somehow limit the memory usage, so it doesn't happen again? :blobfoxthinkanime:

@uastronomer What am I looking for in the syslog? I'm at more or less the time of crash but can't identify much.

@compass indeed, I haven't read the manga so I'm not sure where we are exactly story-wise.

Do we have a date on the next season's release? This year or are we talking 2024?

@rolle @vito I think not. Mastodon will not know the files are gone, it will try to serve them and the S3 will return 404 until the sync is done.

The reason I turned it on before the sync was to have already the new files uploaded to the S3. Didn't want to have to do yet another sync after the first one.

Not sure if this make sense.

@rolle @vito I did the S3 switch while doing the sync. Being in a single-user instance that's not an issue, plus all the browser caching (or CDN if you have that already)

Perfect episode at so many levels:

- Beautifully done in all scenes, doesn't matter if the characters are close or in background. Always attention to detail. So well done.
- How the characters are evolving, especially Shu.
- They killed me with the "Shu-kun" scene, so funny.
- I need more "slice of life" scenes like the ones in the dorms.

Thanks!

@rolle 1TB of assets? That's inmense for a 4 user instance ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I'm currently at 25Gb and have like 10-12 relays.

What does your cronjob to delete assets look like?

Here's mine: ricard.dev/improving-mastodons

The only reason to change to an S3 would be reduce the storage cost. Not sure what's your deal with Hetzner but usually dedicated S3 object storage is just cheaper than regular SSD's.

@Robworks@phpc.social Thanks!

dynamic name attribute would be nice, markup is there on page load rather than waiting for JS. But you don't look very convinced ๐Ÿ˜

@pixelcode I see it now ๐Ÿ™ƒ โœ…

@rolle The server does not have to be offline, as mentioned you can point it to S3 so it starts uploading there while you sync

@rolle Yes, that should do it.

Since you're in, what seems to be, a single user instance you could do the following:

1. Change the Mastodon config to point to the S3 (yes, it would break the existing downloaded images but if it's just you using the instance, it's not a big issue. Byt doing this the newly found image would start to be uploaded directly to S3)

2. Start the sync using the CLI so the already downloaded go to the S3.

3. Done? ๐Ÿ˜

@rolle thank you for the feedback!

I don't fully know how that storage mount works but you should be able to use a CLI to sync it to an S3. I've used AWS CLI and had no problems moving from local to S3 and the other way around.

@3rdNRobzilla13@universeodon.com what would you rate higher than this season?

@jan Absolutely the right decision to decouple the concept of :mastodon: from that "main" instance. We need more education around instances to new joiners.

@thor Not sure how it works if I search for a hashtag to find posts from accounts I don't follow (partially why I use the relays)

The posts will be there I guess and the account re-created the moment I read the post?

@thor I wonder if prune will be a little overkill as I'm using relays to populate my instance of more juice.

I might be deleting and re-creating the same accounts constantly.

"tootctl accounts cull" is in the docs.

@pegasus Totally! I'll take whatever they give us (as long as it's well animated and drawn unlike the last aired season)

@rafael Could it be these avatars are simply not available in the remote instance? Have you tried going to the remote profile page?

@ayo That's what I currently do, I have a cronjob that runs this bash script hourly.

Once we have 4.1.0 I'll just add to this bash to include the headers removal. Done ๐Ÿ’œ

โžก๏ธ ricard.dev/gists/2023-01-12/

@Lapineige Thanks for clarifying!

@ayo Agreed! I'm looking forward the next 4.1.0 release where we'll be able to remove avatars and/or headers from remote accounts. Which wasn't possible until just now.

Truth be told I used to just delete the headers folder manually once every few weeks to free up my S3 storage. I couldn't care less for profile headers.

@ayo Yeah, not with Mastodon. I think and work like that, they don't download remote assets.

But it's not a great architecture either, because all instances act as CDN for you.

Granted it takes a lot of space on your instance but if a remove instance goes down, is not available or just slow you don't notice it.

@ayo @elias What a coincidence ๐Ÿ˜† I'm moving Object Storage provider today and it's being a challenge so far.

I've managed to download 50Gb of assets from old S3 provider and now I'm trying to upload to the new provider. But the default upload set it to "private" which is no good. Trying to find a flag/command with the aws CLI to recursively upload while setting public policy.

@metadaddy Eugen just replied to the pitch ๐Ÿ”ฅ :ablobcatbongo:

@chadgoode Brave soul ๐Ÿ˜ I was too impatient and jumped into the Mastodon wagon too early without proper research.

I wouldn't like to lose followers with a change, so I would need a new subdomain/domain but I don't really want to that either. Current domain is so clean.

My setup works fine in my VPS right now with the media assets moved to super cheap object storage. I seem to have no problems, all stable.

@angst you got it!

Did you see the follow up post:

Hope it helps

@mjgardner Cool! It says it uses github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon but not sure how up to date that is with the current UI for v4

I was mentioned in another post, it's too late for me :blobcat_sadlife:

ricard.social/@ricard/10967847

@joeldebruijn That would be awesome, not sure how well it might work.

At this point I'm too invested in this setup to switch. Plus switching backend the same domain I'm told can have nuclear effects ๐Ÿ˜…

@ruud Would have loved to have instead of for my single-user instance but the frontend UI (advanced interface, columns) from Mastodon is too good to let go.

@thomas That's the one I was just trying out. Thank you for the recommendation! ๐Ÿ’œ

@billy excellent! Thank you, Billy ๐Ÿ’œ

With the new Mastodon release there should not be the need for these hacks, as we'll have a new command available to clean avatars and headers ๐Ÿ™ƒ

@dpflug Thanks for the insight!

@kabir Nice! :blobcatthumbsup:

Yeah I saw those frontends too but none had the cool Mastodon UI. I guess it doesn't matter if you use a native app.

If you're going to give a try maybe check which I think is a little bit more active.

@kabir last time I checked looked a bit unmatained, there was no column frontend UI (which I love).

To "solve" the storage issue I eneded up moving the assets to a super cheap S3 object storage. It's less than 1$ a month

โžก๏ธ ricard.dev/scaling-mastodon-mo

@kabir There's a command merged to the stable (not yet released) that will delete old avatars and headers. Which are currently not deleted by any out of the box command.

If you don't care about headers (I don't) some ideas we've had:

- Replace all images by a 1x1 pixel file
- Just delete the headers folder (that's why I currently do)

@vash Could be! I have not fined tuned the database, just out of the box.

Any good post on how to do it?

Other admins have said is specially slow at deleting. This might be the simple bottleneck (I can't fix)

@vash Once a day, maybe it should be twice a day so it takes less time each run?

I not only run this one but the one about status, preview card and remove orphans. At different hours

@shelby@fauxzen.com Correct, the headers and avatars are not touched. The PR is merged and should be available in the next release.

In my case I couldn't care less about headers so I delete the whole folder. Nothing breaks. Sure the media calculation is wrong but a part from that I haven't found any issues and I'm saving a lot of GB's.

Some single-user instance admins say you don't even need a CDN, that they pull directly form the S3 bucket.
