I recall the biggest direct air capture facility ever made in like, Norway?, only being able to capture about a few seconds worth of our yearly carbon output lol

Multiple hour builds dear god 😵‍💫

Ah man, yeah I use it for a much more constrained and very narrow use case. We only use GitHub actions for CI/CD, it can be clunky itself in some aspects but otherwise works great.

Why?

What’s wrong with Jenkins? Works pretty great for automated scripts that need to run on a schedule, but I imagine you and this post specifically mean in reference to CI/CD

This is excellent advice and makes me feel less crazy…

I guess I didn’t exactly mean it as elitist gatekeeping, I see it more like people are being abandoned by major websites and this is the result.

Welcome to the old Internet. Decentralization is good in a way, people will have to try harder instead of having everything spoon fed to them by Google.

The two biggest ones I know of are startrek.website for trekkies and blahaj for all things trans/lgbtq. But even those don’t see to have much activity. We need better advertisement to smaller communities somehow.

I felt like it was working briefly on my instance and now it’s not again…

Just checked the issues and I don’t see anything about context for the latest version. I think the devs are unaware.

Speaking of disinformation…

AWS is expensive and confusingly structured, but I’ve been impressed with the ECS stuff. The UI for all of it is also way overcomplicated and stupid, but once you have it working it works.

Off the top of my head we use AWS ECS which provides a rolling upgrade method. Push up the new container into ECR (from github actions after they pass tests) run the upgrade command, and new containers will start booting. Once they pass their health checks the load balancer starts serving traffic to them. Once they’re live, the old containers are removed.

We also use a blue/green deployment method so we don’t have to worry about breaking the production database with database changes.

There’s a script for instance operators to run to fix that but I don’t have the link on me

I had similar issues, I joined a small Mastodon instance and for some reason couldn’t see comments or amounts of boosts. I guess it was just misconfigured

Please just let me go to my local CVS and get this. I’ve considered trying to trick a vet into giving me the one they give dogs (that was originally developed and used for humans but taken off the market for total bullshit reasons) but easier said than done.

We were talking about software development and deployment in this thread, not necessarily how easy your desktop GUI is to use.

I mean… all those buttons are essentially just calling a command line in the end. And coding that button takes more work so command line is always going to be more likely to be your only option. If you find commands arcane then that’s probably an argument that the help docs should be clearer or the commands themselves should be clearer.

Well, there’s the actual engineer response I was looking for
