๐ 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.
Donโt get me wrong, volume one was easy to read and fun but not something Iโd invest money in having so many other good series in my to-purchase list.

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?
@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 ๐
@ayo "In progress" and get feedback ๐
@prex Is this the one?

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.
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.

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.

@friendly Thanks! The manga is on my to-buy list so I just know the anime for now.
Do you know if the whole season is this flashback arc?
โญ โญ โญ
I had no idea this was going to be a prequel. Are they going to fast-forward in time this season or is it all backstories?
So far, a little disappointed and not loving it.
Animation from MAPPA is of course good.

Better than episode 2! The new characters looks promising, maybe cheap fun but still fun.

@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 #BlackMirror 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.
@blackestclovers Nice #manga purchase! ๐

Lots of text! When I compare Bakuman to Blue Lock, for instance, it takes me so much more time to digest each page. Itโs not a bad thing, they are two completely different stories and one needs more action with less talking, while this one benefits from more context and information ๐

Great episode, full of action and not much talking. Glad we're closing Sagiri's nonsense for now and moving forward.
Gabimaru is more likable in each episode.
I wish Yuzuriha would die, running like a coward? Great ninja right there.
The only bit I was not convinced of was when Gabimaru was struck in the head and just bled for a minute. Then all good. They just said a minute ago that a hit from the monster would mean death ๐คท

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).

@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.
@mondanzo Does this help?
@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.

Wow, such a beautiful episode :blobcatheart:
It was so well animated, no filler, nothing but the match. Each shot beautifully animated.
Initially I felt bad for them to lose but then I thought the others are a power school and had third years in the team. So it feels organic and natural that they won.
I'm surprised there's a 13th episode next week? They could've wrapped the season with this one.

If you are using Object Storage the media assets are a non-issue. Otherwise maybe rsync to bring them to the other machine?
@ayo From my research it's very lightweight, night and day compared to Mastodon when it comes to hardware requirements.

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?

@Stephan This is the way! :mandalorian:

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 ๐คท
The animation as usual, beautiful ๐
@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 ๐
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 https://jaanus.com/mastodon-monitoring-prometheus-grafana/ 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

@jan Thanks, Jan. I'll take a deeper look at the concurrency setting for the cron
@michael Excellent, I have disk to spare I'll try that. Thank you, Michael!

@michael Found this in the syslog it seem to run out of memory, even though I'm usually at 50%
Probably happened while running the media cleaup cronjob
Wondering if I can limit that memory usage somehow to prevent this?

systemd[1]: postgresql@15-main.service: A process of this unit has been killed by the OOM killer.
systemd[1]: system-postgresql.slice: 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 Thank you for the input, Allen!
@uastronomer What am I looking for in the syslog? I'm at more or less the time of crash but can't identify much.
I'm where it starts to log "Rejected Announce activity" as the relays can't post into the instance
@lifeofguenter Where do I get those, Gรผnter? ๐
@uastronomer Could be, I'm just using half right now but maybe the media removal cronjob took all the memory?
@jan Right now 2.15/3.83Gb used. Usually the server doesn't use more than 3Gb out of those 3.8Gb
Most probably it crashed during the media remove cronjob
Any idea how or why would #PostgreSQL crash by itself โ

@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 1TB of assets? That's inmense for a 4 user instance ๐ฎ I'm currently at 25Gb and have like 10-12 relays.
What does your cronjob to delete assets look like?
Here's mine: https://ricard.dev/improving-mastodons-disk-usage/
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 ๐
@pixelcode I see it now ๐ โ
@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? ๐
@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.

Then the well known to build the FE again:

@RoastedBloop One of the best episodes when Chiguiri awakens.
Lucky you, you still have 11 more to go ๐คฉ
@heyamie Such an interesting reality show. Just today I've watched episode 6.
Miles away from the realities we have here in Spain. They respect each other! :blobcatgiggle:
@shiruken I shall check that. Thanks, Colin! ๐
@Purple Thank you very much for the detailed reply ๐
@Purple Hi there Isa, just read your GitHub issue regarding S3 Bucket in #Scaleway here https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/22981#issuecomment-1386194288
Wondering if you had eventually moved the S3 objects to the root and changed the configuration.
Did that work?
@lee brave soul! :blobcateyes:
Doing a FE I would still consider but an ActivityPub backend sounds like a big challenge ๐ช
โญ โญ โญ โญ /5
๐ I dislike Baro very much but I gotta give it to them, this episode kept me at the edge of my seat ๐ฎ
Who will they pick nextโ
I'm inclined to think Chigiri for his speed. But it could very well be Reo for his passes. I do not think it will be Kunigami, it's too similar to Baro but weaker ๐ค
@lee Did you migrate the current domain instance from Mastodon AWS to Pleroma?
I didn't know it was possible to change backends easily.
@bramus Awesome demo, Bramus!
@notalex Totally!
The animation is fantastic #RymansClub Definitely give it a try.
@notalex ๐ Happened to me with #Haikyuu and volleyball ๐ as well as with #RymansClub and badminton.
PS: I've been playing badminton for 6 months now ๐คฃ It's fun ๐ ๐ธ
@shiruken Nice find!
I've added --days 0
Even though I still see some headers folders in the S3 bucket it did clean an extra 4.5Gb
Updated my blog post.
Thank you, Colin!
@mr_daemon I don't see it, I'll try to recompile the FE
EDIT: Yep, I see it now. Seems like the assets precompilation didn't work well when I upgraded.
@mr_daemon where do you see the followed tags in the advanced web interface?
@lckrohjr it is fun :blobcatgiggle:
@sagacyte very nice ๐๐
@shiruken I assume it was all headers. I need to recheck the code :blobfoxthinkanime:

@oliphant Regarding the pull when needed, don't think it works for webMentions from my blogs.
For instance here https://ricard.dev/how-to-add-web-mentions-to-your-wordpress-site/ people who liked the post might not follow me or I might not follow them. I don't know if they liking my post constitutes "interaction", thus their avatar would be kept in cache :blobfoxthinkanime:
@oliphant It seems to go into that direction
I did a PR to document these new commands (pending to be merged)
Unsure about the exact conditions
@oliphant In run a bash with the commands for removing status, media, previews, and now headers.
The bash runs every hour and I pass "--days 3" to keep it lean :blobcatfingerguns:
@oliphant That removes also avatars, but I'm not sure if I want that.
I use webmentions for my blogs, it's nice to see the avatars there. I wonder if I'll be removing avatars from users who have mentioned my posts.

For 50โฌ/month I thought you could have better performance.
@leah Awesome post, Leah. So much to digest ๐จโ๐
@lore I think we would you want a centralized (cursed word) documentation site. Rather than multiple sites. Sure both could be indexed but it's always easy to do a site search on a single site.
My problem is the official docs are not receiving updates often enough.
I did open a PR (now approved by a Mastodon maintainer) to document 4.1.0 new commands and it hasn't been merged. I'm confident it will fall through the cracks and not be merged... :blobcat_sadlife:
@afiestas @garritfra Well I think you don't usually put a CDN in front of cold storage data (glacier). It's meant to almost never be accessed. I'm not sure if you can even add a CDN in front.
For regular data you do standard S3 storage.
@fribbledom I still buy paper books from time to time!
@SecurityWriter Same!
I don't think it's needed. From what I've read on the GitHub pitch it will most likely be opt-in if implemented :mastodon:
@berserker Thanks!
I recently made the switch to #Scaleway and since I'm a single-user instance and don't manually upload/post media to it, I didn't notice.
It look me several days to download the 600GB (zip files of 50Gb) from Google Takeout (Photos) and upload them to the S3 compatible GLACIER class cold storage โ ๐ฅถ
The next step is having the third copy in an external SSD ๐พ

@broximar just preordered #TearsOfTheKingdom as it has a discount on Amazon :blobcatnotlikethis:

@caleb Firefox mobile on Android. The page has scroll.

You're right, though. We need to wait, #Wildebeest is at a very early stage.

@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.
@thor Right

"Episode 8: We love side projects"
@csacaness You're so right. Also, the animation is just beautiful.
I wrote a small piece on season 1 now that the second just started:
@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 ๐
@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 #Akkoma and #Pleroma 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.
โญ โญ โญ /5
We had to go through this episode eventually, the conversation with the past users.
They make Deku leaving the academia a bigger deal than what actually is going to be, I presume. But it sells nice that after 6 seasons "he's leaving" ๐
I hope we're back into action because we've had plenty of dialogue episodes already.
@ayo @elias What a coincidence ๐ 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.
Tough stuff!

@Hbomberguy you can replace Publish with Toot with CSS if you're instance admin or through a browser extension injecting these few lines
@simevidas As usual I think it depends on the type of website. Most marketing websites that are presentation, sure ๐ The less JavaScript the better.
When it comes to a web app, obviously not. Doing progressive enhancement without JavaScript on a web app with forms and such it's complicated and very expensive.
@afiestas Ya-hiro is very good but you have to wait too long. Plus I think they now open less hours than before.
The one I liked it's very good. I've tried a lot of ramen in Barcelona, I've also been twice to Japan on vacation and I can recommend it ๐
Give it a try ๐
@overminddl1 I think the reason was particularly because #Pleroma does not download assets to the server. Meaning the other instances act as a CDN for pleroma servers. This model is unsustainable for large instances.
When you use Mastodon, you get all the assets downloaded and served from your instance.
@overminddl1 That's sad. I read that some admins ban based on the backend used, like if you use #Pleroma you get instant ban
@charlesroper Yes, exactly!

@chadgoode Brave soul ๐ 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.

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

@vash totally, I have them in #BackBlazeB2 and that's probably the cause of the slow delete.
@admin thank you so much for the feedback ๐
@vascorsd yep, will write a blog post after I've played with it ๐
@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 #BackBlaze 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.
@thomas After moving to the S3 compatible storage it's running smoothly.
Only thing I've encountered is this: https://ricard.social/@ricard/109551417744385295
@michael @timelordiroh Same! ๐ My main account is the admin account
@michael Agreed, if it doesn't take all my CPU or RAM I'm fine as well.
Thank you, Michael! ๐
@jorijn Oh wow, ok so it's not just on my side.
Thank you for the input, Jorijn ๐
Removing media files (using #backblazeB2 ) is very slow ๐
Running the command right now says 11.000 files pending to be deleted and estimated time is 1.5 hours ๐ข
"tootctl media remove --days 4"
- Does this happen to you โ
- Any idea how to speed it up โ
@pasmac What do you mean?
Some single-user instance admins say you don't even need a CDN, that they pull directly form the S3 bucket.
Since it's actually free for my usage, I decided to use AWS CloudFront in front of the S3 bucket, to reduce even more the usage in the bucket.
Not sure if I made any sense ๐
Nice! :blobcataww:
1. Yeah once a week I go into the bucket and nuke all the headers folder ๐ I just don't want/need them
2. Also yes, I turned on the "only last version".
I don't recall changing anything else.
@philipp Thank you for sharing, Philipp!

@lifeofguenter Done, thank you!
@stux same! :blobcatgiggle:
@jalmari will report back ๐ซก
@jalmari I've pulled the trigger and ordered a VPS :blobcatfingerguns:
Will give this a try next week :ablobcatbongo:
๐ก Thinking about migrating my #VPS from #Linode to #netcup
๐ฉ๐ช I have already Linode in a German datacenter, so that wouldn't change.
โ ๏ธ The cost though... netcup is half the price for double the specs :blobcatthinking:
I would not only be hosting a Mastodon instance but 10 other small websites (as I currently do on Linode).
Thoughts โ
@pasmac 3.25โฌ for the VPS is nice and cheap! :blobcateyes:
Definitely try moving the cached assets to a bucket :blobcatfingerguns:
@pasmac More details on their pricing here
