Check it out if you’re interested.

Today in /duh/ news: "Remote work doesn’t negatively affect productivity, study suggests".
As someone who has worked from home for over a decade, good to see everyone else catching up. 🎉

Would someone be prepared to donate me $2,000 to buy the domain twitter.sucks? Would make the greatest mastodon server ever.

the duolingo owl seems to be of the impression that I have 3 spare minutes for a lesson today when in fact i am very busy with activities such as scrolling toots

#Mastodon makes 100000 times more sense than Twitter ever did once you start using it properly

If you hate Windows, simply switch to Linux so you can hate Linux instead

One other interesting thing to note is that, even though we've increased the Sidekiq throughput, we've actually *decreased* the total number of connections open to Postgres (~300 before and 160 now). I think this is due to Sidekiq connection pooling.

This goes to show that making better use of existing resources is often better than simply throwing more resources at a problem.

well i for one am glad we finally own the means of shitpost production

Imagine being able to follow and interact with Instagram accounts from Twitter, with Pixelfed and Mastodon you can!

Simply search the account url from either Mastodon or Pixelfed and you can follow and interact as if you were both on the same website!

This is the magic of the #fediverse

Did you know that you can easily include complex diagrams in your markdown files using #mermaid?

See for example https://codeberg.org/PGPainless/pgpainless/src/branch/main/ECOSYSTEM.md

It works out of the box on Github and @codeberg (possibly other #gitea instances as well?)
