otherwise that would be an easy exploit, just creating a practically infinitely long block list to crash the instance.

Perhaps you are unaware of just how unstable Lemmy has been since late May.

I’m asking because I used to run into the maximum number of blocks on my Reddit client

I think they used the multi-reddit list as the back-end for subreddit block list. I too ran into the limits.

I don't think Lemmy has any limit, but performance will likely degrade and it is entirely possible that your personal block list causes overload of servers with lots of data in them.

Lemmy 0.18.x doesn't use websockets that I know, so I'm not sure why this helped.

I mentioned you are trying to use arm on GitHub... https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3102

These aren't really what you are looking for in the Firefox console. They tell you the line of code with the error, but not which page has the JSON missing itself.

I notice your server says Lemmy 0.18.0 - the current is 0.18.4 - any reason you are attempting an older version?

/api/v3/user/register

those are the kind of paths you are looking for that can't be reached and your proxy likely isn't forwarding correctly to the lemmy_server Rust app.

lemmy.ca staff was so frustrated with performance problems a couple weekends ago they cloned a copy of their database Running AUTO_EXPLAIN revealed site_aggregates logic in Lemmy was doing comment = comment + 1 counting against 1500 rows, for every known Lemmy instance in the database, instead of just writing 1 row.

ok, I did know about that, just didn't memorize the name. I'm assuming only private messages and user account info (email address) are the real concern in terms of exposure? It's mostly a public posting thing, or not?

There has also been problems with federated copies of communities not getting all the actions. I added testing code to demonstrate that comment deletes were not going out to federation peers. Comparing copies of data between instances for the same community shows some overlooked problems. Still have more tests to add.

I find anti-science is going as Carl Sagan predicted it could in his 1995 book.

I do not meet people who would consider a microscope a useful tool to look at the virus. Their faith is in information on TV or websites, not even considering that the virus can be directly observed. I saw almost nobody asking for a TV show to show microscope footage and taking a test from a person and demonstrating it can be seen. Virus has been on Earth for millions of year, the microscope is the new thing they aren't facing.

There is a popularity aspect of misinformation. Sagan teaches about that too.

You call me childish when you were the one that retaliated against the developers by creating rubbish issues? Ironic.

Actually they were sincere questions. I am not retaliating. I want to know why they are doing it. But you seem to want to avoid that.

it is disturbing how they are behaving and the cult following they are cultivating by having their servers crash all the time to get donations/etc. It's like someone faking cancer. And you seem to be unable to study the code and see just how easy it was to fix the mistakes they went so far out of their way to not correct.

It is you who thinks such manipulation of an audience, the server installers and the creators of content, is defensible. I watched them cover-up a PostgreSQL question as fast as they could when 0.18.3 report came in on install. It was highly disturbing and bewildering to witness this. Why do they want servers to crash?

[-] RoundSparrow@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I linked your post on !lemmy_helper@lemmy.ml - as I started out building a list of direct PostgreSQL queries with that webapp last month. Thank you for sharing.

Also, I’ve been living in the Internet you describe since 1990. All it takes is intentionally saying no to the corporate offerings; there have been self-hosted and crowd-hosted communities the entire time.

Yha, advertising was non-existent on social media in the 1980's, BBS systems and such were run because people like sharing information.

Facebook, Twitter were really about selling stuff and commercial advertising, people flocked to it.
