My dad, a practicing attorney for 40+ years, read the Nestle & Cargill rulings and goes “this is a blueprint for how to get away with slavery”

the best thing you can do early in your career is realize no company will ever care about you and you should work as little as you need to in order to get by and not give them even one extra second of your life https://twitter.com/ImNotJK/status/1403483098004611072

Libera is a week old, and we've come strong out the blocks. Thank you to our 20,000 users for your support, enthusiasm, and patience.
I've written a little about our first week and some of the projects we host here: https://libera.chat/news/one-week-of-libera-chat

For Bitcoin, the maximum transaction rate is something like four transactions a second, *globally*. And each transaction burns as much electricity as an American home does in four weeks.
updated tilde.zone to latest glitch-soc - hopefully this resolves the crashes we've had
please ping me on irc or xmpp if it crashes again (ben on tilde.chat or xmpp:ben@hmm.st)

we're back up! migrations failed while i was updating mastodon so i had to run the tootctl dedup tool and recreate all indices in postgres database
there are some issues with postgres and libc's collation options: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/troubleshooting/index-corruption/
short downtime to repair database indices

"Cryptocurrency is one of the worst inventions of the 21st century. [...] It has failed to be a useful currency, invented a new class of internet abuse, further enriched the rich, wasted staggering amounts of electricity, hastened climate change, ruined hundreds of otherwise promising projects, provided a climate for hundreds of scams to flourish, created shortages and price hikes for consumer hardware, and injected perverse incentives into technology everywhere. Fuck cryptocurrency."

Cryptocurrency is literally like an eight-year-old's concept of an evil businessman. He just plugs his pollution machine in and gets money for it. It doesn't make anything, it just. Pollutes. And makes money. Like a fucking Captain Planet villain
got a little bit more log info on the backed up queues on here, looks like it was stuck on connecting to redis which is on localhost of the same machine. any ideas why that would be? it's processing stuff now that i restarted redis and the sidekiq service
