having listened to @dozens podcast with interview subject @tomasino I am seriously considering reviving my #gemini and #gopher spaces on #circumlunar as my current topics for expression are personal and experimental and seem better for the #smolnet.

#circumlunar space like simulation: https://sptth.xyz/planets.html

#Zaibatsu #Circumlunar #Mail is the best mail.

#zaibatsu #circumlunar #gopher I'm alive. I am aware some of us are not.

#mastodon is very stable in terms of memory consumption!

But I'm thinking about what we're really doing here in #fediverse and I'm comparing it with, let's say, resource footprint of #circumlunar community (Zaibatsu / ... / Soviet) and realise that their footprint is kind of zero.

Everyone is on one of the three manually federated servers, using UNIX / pre-UNIX tools to communicate with each other, with the only non-UNIX tool being IRC.

Somehow it doesn't take 2GiB of memory and somewhat constant CPU load for #sundogs to exchange bytes.

I get that to host huge instances like mastodon.social, it makes sense to have #pgsql, but it feels like individual instances should be able to be cohosted on the same machine.

I'm committed to explore using file system and files for #doauth persistent storage backend.

But that also brings me to a dilemma of whether or not to use #elixir for the rewrite or to use #rust, to decrease footprint.

Obviously, #elixir will yield more stable, fault tolerant code with easier replication. #Rust, however will reduce excess footprints to 0 at a cost of longer development time (I'll need to benchmark current #tokio-based HTTP servers and see if I need to write my own dead simple server that doesn't use generics / isn't bloated), and it can easily eat up a month of my time.

Maybe it's all non-issue, especially if there's just one BEAM machine launched per host and we plug our applications into it (as intended)...

I think that the fact that I'm heavily leaning towards #elixir as the main production technology even though "close-to-metal" argument is important to me is a clear sign I should use it for production in #doma.

@gemlog@mastodonten.de I posted an hour ago on my zaibatsu #circumlunar #gopher space. I hope smj will forgive me a few days of radio silence from #anonradio #openmic

An advisory for people who haven't read my gopher #phlog before: you may want to skip this or perhaps just paste in the URI segment left of the phlog and have some nice sugary recipes.

The URI entirety is for people who keep up with my #zaibatsu #phlog #circumlunar

Cheers!

Updated my #gemini files. I don't know if 1-2 weeks updates are regular enough to add to sloum's #spacewalk, if you're convinced that's regular, you've my blessing to submit gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/users/christina/5Q.gmi
Gemini.circumlunar.space already posted my updated index.gmi

New #Zaibatsu #Circumlunar #gopher post:

In a three-part series of my turbulences, blights and anxieties, the first and mildest entry, in which I ask what's going on in the #fediverse with #mastodonsocial and describe my recent experience at #mastodoncloud
