  • Oh right, yeah, Wordpress does tend to use up an awful lot of storage - every image gets copied 5 or 6 times, in different sizes just incase you need that size. It's nuts.

    You don't need to store those images in your server though, they can be uploaded to S3 (object storage) where it is 10x cheaper to store them and then you can have a cheaper VPS. This way the VPS only needs to have enough storage for your MySQL database.

    There are many providers of S3-compatible storage, you don't need to use AWS. Cloudflare R2 is super cheap - https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/developer-platform/products/r2/ or Hetzner - https://www.hetzner.com/storage/object-storage/

  • Big Tech set to spend $650 billion in 2026 as AI investments soar

  • Investors have expressed some misgivings about these new spending plans. Amazon stock fell more than 8% on Friday following the company's announcement. Alphabet shares fell 3% following their announcement, and Microsoft stock fell over 11% after its quarterly results, which were also tainted by slightly slower growth in its Azure cloud unit.

    hahaha, burn

  • As well as API endpoints for feeds, these are on my mind:

    Cross posting non-link posts

  • The reason you're getting shut out is because you write your posts with a LLM. Goodbye.

  • That would be a nice gesture and I think I'll do that in future, if I have the spoons.

    @moseschrute@lemmy.world have you considered adding "Powered by Blorp" with a link to your site at the bottom of the left column? That way every copy of the software has your stamp on it and SEOs you.

  • Yes, it does that first and then looks for posts / comments that match. I considered making it retrieve the post if it doesn't have it already but decided against it for performance reasons.

  • To those who are new to this whole fediverse/threadiverse/this thing, how has your experience been?

  • If you notice a pattern - i.e. someone who posts abusive comments all the time - report their profile and I'll look into banning them from piefed.social to save us all a lot of hassle.
