Apparently having the worker processes of four unrelated server programs running next to those server programs on the same node is not ideal. No matter how much memory the node has, the out-of-memory killer will eventually kill the web server. It seems that the worker processes look at how much memory is in the machine and use it, not at how much memory is left unused in the machine.

I've reinstated the swapfile and changed the cron schedule of the workers to not happen at the same time anymore. That was a bit optimistic...

The thing with mitigating risk is that if you stop doing it things don't fall over immediately giving detractors ample time to argue that your worries were unfounded.

"JavaScript heap out of memory"


No! Not you too!

(I didn't even know Javascript also had a heap to run out of)

@Beko Pharm Apparently from nodejs v12 onwards it automatically sets the heap limit dependent on the machine. I guess as a simple user I had sort of assumed everything automagically to be correct, but that's from v12 onwards. The internet says that in browsers you have hardly any control over the max heap setting, while in node.js you can use a command line switch, which is documented as 'not part of the official api so likely to change'. For now it will just be more RAM in the VPS...

I guess I should have known since I did a bit of nodejs development in the past...

Ah, one of those, where increasing the heap only makes the crash occur later. I know these, I've occasionally made these... Also, by increasing the heap beyond available ram, you can make the crash happen really slowly, due to swapping.

Also upgraded this Friendica, to version 2022.12. It went smooth, though the database update took a bit longer than normal. Normally I don't notice any downtime, now it was busy for a few minutes.

I also enabled the new 'fancybox' add-on, which is very neat!

Finished The Sandman. Netflix says "More episodes are coming" and I don't know whether it's a threat or not. Anyway, the series is quite variable with great potential. Some bits are really good and series two may be really great. But the show also has some things that annoy me.

A long interview with Jenna Ortega at a screening of Wednesday, during what I think is a fashion show. She talks of course about Wednesday, but also other aspects of her career.

And I also don't know why the video is mostly on its side and why the beginning is edited to be at the end. As far as I can tell, this is the official recording.

(I like this kinda silliness.)

You could also add alt text to images on Twitter, this is not a specific fediverse thing. If you weren't the person to do that there, but do it here because 'it's the Mastodon way', don't clap yourself on the back but ask yourself why you didn't care over there.

One of the most irritating moments an app can come with their 'please upgrade to premium', 'please verify your email is still correct' and 'please rate this app', especially at the same time, is when you open the app as a share target.

This artist I follow and are on the mailing list of, sent an email with ten hyperlinks to stuff to buy. Of course that ends up in the spam folder...

@Paul Jakes I didn't even mean that... But I guess that's also true, as I'm here following the people I'm also following on Twitter...

But I was talking about using both my Pleroma and Friendica accounts to follow the same people, in case one breaks, but also to get migration notifications, which don't work on Friendica.

I'm also on Zap and Osada where channels are technically linked using 'Nomadic Identities' and thought that was similar.

all we want for the holidays is more jenna ortega content

I don't know why the main socials of His Dark Materials are promoting today as being the premiere of series three, since we're already four episodes in, but I guess they have a bit of a UK focus. Anyway, UK people, in about twenty minutes it starts for you on BBC one!

And stick with it, series three takes a few episodes to get into it.

There are subtitles for the sign language bits! When it was on HBO Max, they just sort of assumed you understood sign language.

Twitter link-out ban

Wow, Twitter now disallows all links to other social media, including Instagram and Facebook, also to non-social media sites like linktree, including just mentioning handles without link or giving a plaintext description of your link or handle.

What is still allowed, is automatic crossposting to Twitter from the other site and including a link like that.

I guess putting your social media handles on your own site, and putting your own site in your bio's, is the way to go.

How they see the difference between automatic crossposting to Twitter with link back and on the other hand posting a link out, I don't know. I also don't know why they include linktree in the ban, as it is just like a personal homepage listing your identities.

I think they included Linktree because it was effective and popular - there isn’t a reasoned, principled approach - it’s just a way to try to prevent people from fleeing the ship.

The Instagram account itself remains unbanned on Twitter, even though it clearly exists to promote another platform. And posts links to Instagram content.

I'm not supporting any of the teams in the world cup final, but the amount of theater by the Argentine players is irritating me.

Football players know we all look at the closeups to see whether there was contact. So putting your leg in front of your opponent's, then 'falling' over it, looks like you're really the victim of a foul.

I started watching The Act because the lead character is played by Joey King. I noticed AnnaSophia Robb as well, which is great. I didn't recognise Patricia Arquette and I'm ashamed.

Luckily 'the twist' came in the first episode already rather than at the end of the season, since I suspected something along those lines early on.

Occasionally you get this complaint that 'this program you wrote uses 80% cpu!', to which the valid response is 'sorry, I'll try to use the remaining 20% as well'.

I've been so spoiled always buying Samsung phones and tablets. Now I have a Google Pixel for work. It doesn't even come with a charger. Nor a manual. It's advertised as dual-sim, but has only one sim slot. Quite confusing to use, no back button, no easy access to settings.

You may need to kill a program if it somehow survives the execution.

I dislike that when people write 'Deadline reports that' you have to open the link to see what Deadline really reported. Can be quite different.

Couldn't even get a vanity tail number.

This was rumoured for a while, but now it's officially announced: Jenna Ortega plays the lead in a film called Winter Spring Summer or Fall. What is new to me is that she's also Executive Producing the film. So great to see her play more character roles and also that she gets more control over the process.

Photo of Wednesday Addams with the caption: “I know I’m stubborn, single-minded, and obsessive. But those are all traits of great writers. Yes, and serial killers — what’s your point?”

#wednesdaythought

While with the success of Wednesday on Netflix a go-ahead for season two seems only natural, here are my completely uninformed thoughts about it: it has become clear that there can't be a Wednesday season two or any offshoot of the Addams Family universe in film, without Jenna Ortega. She's been so much the center of the success. And if I were Jenna, which I'm not, I'd want in this case to see scripts before committing. So chicken and egg... Maybe a series of independent Wednesday films are most likely.

Currently the trakt.tv site is down due to a database crash and they are recovering from a backup. They say on twitter it's going slow due to the size of the database. I can imagine that. How slow you can see from the fact that it's already getting to two days.

So this is your reminder, also to myself, to think about your recovery strategy. Just making backups is not enough. Also, backups are a last resort because the data transfer for the restore takes so long. If you want to be online again quickly, redundant/shadow servers and/or snapshots are a must.

LoL, indeed.

I just saw that the backup is from Nov 7th. Guh!

Of course I had just spent something in the order of 5 hours the week prior to the crash sorting out my watch history. Being new, I was making the mistake of adding prior watched items to my current timeline, vs when it was released. This might be entirely my fault 😜

Jenna Ortega and her series Wednesday have both been nominated for the Golden Globes!

I'm realising that not only the infinite-scroll is a addiction-inducing tactic of social media, but stories are as well. In the sense of the posts that stay up for only 1 day, so you can't have a few days away from a platform without missing news of people you care about.

Nice to see how everyone is having so much fun and is so relaxed on the Wednesday set. Seems to be a good place with good people. Not so nice to see Emma getting that flashlight straight in her face, I guess that did hurt...
