Nice! One thing you may want to look into is using vscode.dev. Since VS Code is an Electron app, they can host the entire editor on this site. This effectively means you can code from that 😉

You could also try simply connecting to your normal desktop and using your phone to control it. That's worked for me in the past

I don't understand personally why Lemmy.world isn't utilizing load balancing (specifically, horizontal load balancing). Is it due to budget concerns?

Not sure! There hasn't been any communication between the dev and userbase for quite some time

Somehow Joey for Reddit seems to still be working???

There was definitely a bottom banner but it was quite unobtrusive

Why is this game always so blue?

Anyway, Battlefield 3 is pretty good so far

What an unbelievable flex

I'd use Ecosia still if it weren't for the fact that the filter is missing the "last year" setting. I'm a software engineer - 9 times out of 10, I want to find the bugs for a very specific version of a software, so having the year filter helps.

I now use Brave Search.

Same here, on Android Firefox

I think there's quite a bit to say about cost. I'm not sure how Mongo is, but I'm quite familiar with DynamoDB and it gets quite expensive at scale. I'd be worried it'd be unsustainable, especially since postgres is very cheap most of the time (aka, unless you go with RDS).

Also, I'm sure Postgres can be optimized to work well at kbin's scale (since it has worked on sites with millions of users for years). I'm hesitant to say it's an issue with postgres itself, it may be an issue with the queries to the database (maybe the lock?) or even with database auto-scaling (or possible lack thereof).

Also, kbin's general data seems to be highly relational - articles will always have an author, a title, how many votes it has, how many boosts, and all of the comments on it. I think (personally) SQL makes more sense than NoSQL here for that reason, among the others I've listed.

Just because it's made by Google doesn't mean literally anything. Google hacks happen literally all the time.

Just heed the warning and slap new Android on it or an up-to-date alternative OS. Otherwise you're pretty likely to get gotten
