  • China raises the price to $6 to compensate, Taiwan to $5.90

    Not quite. It’s not the foreigners who pay the tariffs, it’s the locals. The tariff is charged at customs when the product enters the country and the people paying that are the people doing the importing. Tariffs don’t bring more money into the country, they just penalize local people who import goods from overseas. It’s a tax. Back when Republicans were consistent they hated all taxes, heh.

    From the point of view of the local consumer it makes no difference - the price rises unless there is a locally made substitute they can buy instead.

    Ehh, it’s ok in the case of JetBrains - if your subscription lapses your license converts to a ‘perpetual fallback license’ so can just continue using the version you installed when the subscription was originally purchased.

    I’m using a 4 year old version of PhpStorm with no issues and no subscription. My PyCharm sub ended 6 months ago and I’m staying on the 2023 version of PyCharm because the latest version comes with lots of AI which makes my CPU fans scream continuously.










  • Yeah, sort of. The total number of subscriptions (by all users) determines the load caused by federation. If you subscribe to 200 communities then I subscribe to the same 200 the federation load will not increase.

    So once an instance has more than a dozen users pretty much every community that exists will be subscribed to and adding more users will not increase federation load (but it would increase load caused by the UI)



  • So weird!

    Very unlikely to be a proxmox issue.

    134217728 bytes is only 138 MB so your php memory limit is set lower than you think. Your php config needs work. Restart Apache and php-fpm (if using) after changing php.ini and use phpinfo(); to check that your changes were applied successfully.

    A memory limit of 256 MB should be ok.

    Roughly 2 GB of RAM, 2 cores of CPU. PieFed.social has 8 GB and 4 cores for 150 users and that is more than enough power. We haven’t had a very busy instance with thousands of users so the only scaling tests have been to do with federation - “what happens if I join every community”. The UI is very lightweight, tho.

    It really depends how many communities you subscribe to. A single user instance might be able to use less.
