@QOTO Please be informed that we appreciate all of your effort.
Keeping the (qoto)server up and running is a work of love and dedication. I have to commend you on that. Thank you for your hard work. 🙏
One problem fixed, another crops up...
So while that last fix did make things better, there seems to be a bit of lingering slowness for a few things, but things are mostly working.
I worked all day(and its midnight now) to bring up some very extensive monitoring tools for the team for us to help diagnose the issue.
I will work through the weekend to help improve things further, though I may need to get some sleep before I can fully resolve this. At least things are working other than a slight bit of lag. I will keep everyone on #QOTO updated.
@bibliolater I know, just made a post from QOTO updating everyone. I have the whole weekend devoted to QOTO.
It is really troubling the leaps you make contrary to scientific consensus on issues like this.
Yes not resting when you have COVID will increase your chances of long covid. However to imply that means more people will get covid by shortening isolation time is a huge leap, particularly if the isolation time is closer to correct and was excesssive before. Getting more rest after COVID is out of your system will not help you prevent long covid, so this is a huge assumption and leap on your part that makes no sense given the current data and consensus.
@necromanticnomad Happy to help as best I can in any way I can, just give the word.
Toxic Admins of Fediverse / False Human work - #BadPractices
Toxic Admins of Fediverse instances can cause more problematic situations and insult people with their ignorances, paranoia or short replies.
For example: Accusing my innocent attempts too early of xyz or too wildly reacting without much reasoning to back it up.
I mean WFT sometimes - I wonder how they do so well with other people but have to conclude it's like they think they know others or profile seems to fit better (or others don't ask questions AND lack any depth and so don't bother anyone).
People trust maybe the meme and non-serious type things from others. So strange. Not fun perhaps so it's more the comedy cathartic stuff with their computer-only life style.
When support is not just computers or money, and more talking to people then what people are looking for will happen more often (for them and what they say they want, not just me).
And probably running a tight instance (kinda sole authority and captain) means you can get away with it. So being good in that way helps but maybe more 'benevolent dictator' style if not feeling the need to interact with others though I only contact those that are that good and for the good - so it's a constant awakening of how much further we have to go to accept other people in whatever strangeness (friend you haven't met yet) from Fedi (which I think is measurably much safer >70-99% are pure gold people) and not something we can't see from posts and interactions.
Actually staying constructive or just progressive-neutral would be better, instead of over-exposing their fears (feeding it too to others) and suppressing people while wasting their own time replying (and sometimes claiming their busy to reply) while a bunch of memes are spread and real talk not read - #QOTO is not included in this but support has to become more human and trusting profiles can be a start to snowball trust - or just not over-think things).
THAT LAST SENTENCE IS ENOUGH
MORE OF THE SAME BELOW
FOR EXAMPLE...
@eriner who I respect(ed - (now less) but smelled me as a corporate journalist somehow from contacting him just because of some yes / no questions and even explaining... but will not even read 1 paragraph of my profile (even if it's a wall of text) to find about more about me. Just reading a bit would do to answer his question / doubts
or... JUST NOT BE THE WAY THINGS START AND END!.
It stops conversation dead after leaving it VERY unjust / negative experience. I really have to stop the injustice / hate filled feeling in it's place or even just medium insult after hopes of 'finding a good person' again go down the toilet 🚽 and avoid thinking too much about forcibly getting some respect or progress. It is hard when people don't play fair / nice.
Anyway I'm sure this is how enemies are created so mention it. If it was face to face maybe they wouldn't get away with it so easily (negativity can be done too easily). It's definitely not all about me here, after our own admin sets good example, and I might not even have to be in the equation so heavily or at all to respond practically or without such paranoia - Am I going to tell you I'm a corporate journalist anyway Eric?
So a lot of stuff is being sent out already so it's strange to ask or doubt AND broadcast you're whole life and then not even accept the answer from the good / non-harmfully intentioned guys 🤣 🤣 or even check the obvious existing content on profiles as I've been invested in for long time _0_🖕 - but really the quality of person today is low - don't expect admins to be otherwise. While do keep trying but we do have to solve working together.

@jtb I dont agree much with the torries but if one thing is clear its that the brits experiments with governments trying to run stuff is that private business does it better and cheaper when regulations on such business are properly designed.
Making NHS public was and is a disaster, it needs to end.
I sure am
Our jobs and how to apply to them are all at this link (menu on the left lists the positions): https://docs.cleverthis.com/en/human_resources/organizational_structure/universal_requirements
@freemo good analogy, since in the household despite everyone sharing things the "ruling class" of parents has 100% of the ruling and resource distributing power and if they are bad at it the children can do nothing but suffer.
@olives example?
@johnabs Good job!
@johnabs Molarity when you know the percentage by weight.
Well I hope she sees it. Either of you feel free to hit me up if I can be of any more help.
did you notice their post is 4 months old and from an account they say they moved away from (so presumably no longer monitor)?
Ahh just seeing now this is a reply... Webdev on the front end we wont need in the immediate future (thats like 6 months out), backend, yea we are hiring those now. The JD covers the details.
Also might want to suggest to them to use the #fedihire hashtag, I have had a lot of success with it and it is the only way for non-followers to find posts like this. So can be very helpful.
@methyltheobromine @freemo Can’t remember, @freemo weren’t you looking to hire some people for something? Do you still have openings?
I absolutely am. So far I've hired 3 out of the 15 positions and I am expected about 2 more people from my pipeline will likely make it through to hiring. So about 10 positions left.
You can find all of our open-positions ont he left-hand side menu from this link, as well as details on how to apply:
https://docs.cleverthis.com/en/human_resources/organizational_structure/universal_requirements
Keep in mind this hiring is over 9 months, we are ahead of schedule on the jr level, behind a bit at intermediate, and on track on senior for Dev... for data scientist we are slightly behind. So some of these are immediate hires and some spread over the next months, but all hires are funded and actively hiring for.
Units are the cheat code to every physics/chemistry test. Once you know the units of your "known" you can usually derive almost any equation from simple logic. At a minimum it will get you close enough that you can remember the rest if you studied at least a little bit.
I just walked an organic chemistry student through hat on a fairly tough problem. Just showed them how every unit for every known can infer an equation, and all those equations for all your known will either get you to a complete system of equations to derive your needed formula, or will at least get you most of the way there and you can fill in the rest with a bit of logic).
It worked, we were trying to calculate morality for an acid when only the percentage by weight is given

A strongly right wing, anti-welfare anti-"socialism" guy was posting thinking he was smart and said "want to teach kids socialism, when they do chores take 70% of what you give them and give it to the kids who didnt do any chores".... my response was "Dude, you grew up in a house for free, were fed for free, you already grew up on communism, thats literally what communism is, your mother raised you on communism, taught you communism" and he goes "My mom actually paid me $1 for chores which is all she could afford"... to which i responded "Oh she paid you what you she could afford, not your fair free market value? Your right, that isnt communism, thats socialism then, you were raised on socialism".
The guy has been having a perpetual meltdown in the comments ever since. It is glorious, absolutely glorious.
