  • PieFed only stores 90 days of read post history.

    Now that we have had that feature running for a long time I can see how much space is used by this (430 MB) and I think it's fine to increase this to 180 days.

    I've also added an admin option at /admin/misc which will let you increase it to any value. If you want to keep read history 'forever' than just put a really big value in there. On a single user instance the amount of data used by this table will probably be much smaller than it is on piefed.social.

  • Who Would Win?

  • We can adapt and the process of doing that in capitalism involves prices rising and rising until people can't afford things and stop buying them, thus reducing demand.

    That's super tough on people who don't have much money and they don't consume much anyway so when they tap out it doesn't reduce demand much. So prices need to rise enough to hurt the middle class in developed countries, meaning the lower classes everywhere else have a really shit time.

    Meanwhile there are some oil uses that are completely unable to be reduced, such as emergency services, food distribution, etc so the govt will intervene in the market to ensure that happens. This means all non-essential sectors of the economy must reduce usage by significantly more than 20%.

    Meanwhile every country's govt is doing everything it can to try to lock in 100% of their usual supply and some will succeed, leaving other countries to make much bigger cuts than 20%.

    There will be lots of people making 100% cuts while a few make none. Humanity isn't great at sharing especially at a global level.

  • Pretty weird to do this out of the blue. Feels like she's trying to frontfoot something big that's about to come out.

  • At the moment the chat features of PieFed are quite neglected and minimal, because we have Zulip and Matrix. If we were PieFed-exclusive then there is a strong incentive to improve that part of PieFed.

    What is the MVP chat experience that PieFed needs to provide before we could start to dogfood it? Group chats?

  • Can only see a couple posts when browsing piefed.social

    Jump

  • Your 'Default post sort' setting is 'Top' which shows you the top posts in the last 24 hours. Some communities have only had a handful of posts in the last 24h so those are the only ones you see. (sticky posts are always shown, even if older than 24h).

    I recommend 'Hot'.

  • Pyrrhic Victory

    Jump

  • He was a trier though, sounds like he did his best:

    Realising that he could not win a war against the Romans, Pyrrhus accepted a request from the Greek city-states of eastern and southern Sicily to help them against the Carthaginians in western Sicily. He went to Sicily and campaigned there for three years. His allies in southern Italy were aggrieved because he abandoned them. He took over all the Carthaginian domains in Sicily except for the stronghold of Lilybaeum. His siege of this city was unsuccessful. After this he wanted to build a large fleet to invade Carthage's home territory in Africa. He needed to man and equip these ships and to do this he treated the Greek city-states despotically. These cities turned against him. He was forced to return to southern Italy. He fought the Romans at the Battle of Beneventum (275 BC), where he was defeated. He then left Italy and returned to Epirus.

    That's a pretty long multi-year rampage, taking on all the big players in the region. We can't all be winners 😅

  • Tracks like that become an absolute nightmare on a motorbike in the rainy season. I spent 3 days slithering around that part of Vietnam on back roads. Unforgettable views but I don't miss the mud.

  • How doable is adding usage tracking to the api?

    Jump

  • The way it's done at the moment, all the tracking happens in the client browser and no information about how long someone does anything is sent to the server. So it's completely private. I'd like to keep it that way.

    The time to do that was before bombing hundreds of Iranian children. And civilian infrastructure. Way too late now.
