@mckinley It pains me also, I typically used my PeerCalls instance -- However it often doesn't work for _some_ folks 😒 I need to figure out why and try to either fix bugs upstream or fix my configuration 🀞

@movq I agree, and we're working on better tools and filters. First off the ranks are "Lists" right @ullarah ? (of course this is largely dependent on your client's implementation and viewing models).

But by "critical mass" I actually mean the network's critical mass. But I'm not sure we're _quite_ there yet...? πŸ€” We seem to be at some ~460 active feeds and some ~500k twts as of this moment (assuming the crawler is accurate)

@crunched Outside of tech I like to:

- Do Archery. I have a Samick Sage Recurve. haven't been shooting in a while though, but will hopefully get back into it soonβ„’
- Play Table Tennis, I normally also play competition, but I've taken this reason due to my disk aversion levels and not wanting to risk catching SARS-COV-II.
- Enjoy playing Chess. If anyone would like to play against me I'm @prologic on licchess.org β™”

@movq's point is spot on. this is why it's so important to "dogfood" or "drink your own kool aid" (similar expressions) when writing a piece of software, or building a product. There is nothing more important that being a user yourself.

There are other things that are quite important too, like fail fast, fail early. But I won't go into that too much here πŸ˜…

> i think this will help stabilise @prologic infra.

I _think_ it helped a lot, or rather I did notice a big difference on some of my hypervisor nodes. But I'm still seeing huge CPU / I/O delays on vz1 and that kills my infra because that's where my Leader Swarm Node normally runs and things just go "boom boom" at that point πŸ˜…

Gotta figure out wtf is going on here πŸ˜‚

@lyse Yes I did write a tool in fact, called dump_cache πŸ‘Œ However you are right, I've tried to "prevent" bad data from entering the cache once before, obviously it wasn't good enough because I've seen other examples of this today too. 😒

I'll have to go stop my Pod, pull down the on-disk cache and inspect it at some point and see what sense I can make of this.

I completely agree with @lyse here πŸ‘Œ Having "certificates" or "showing them off" is worthless. I for example as a Lead SRE and currently hiring _actually_ tend to dismiss outright any CV that has them. I either ignore them or it taints my impression of them 😒 (I know I shouldn't do this, becuase biases are bad, but I do anyway).

As @lyse said learning is a good thing. We must always learn. But learning without doing is also pointless IHMO. It's one thing to learn X, but another to do X.

This is called "practical experience".

I always tell all my candidates that interview, go out and learn this stuff, practise, it, tinker, hack and experiment.

That's my $0.02 worth πŸ˜…
