@puppygirlhornypost @stefano freebsd uses the linux graphics drivers via a KPI (kernel programming interface) translation framework that also lets it use things like wifi drivers. Think like the ndisulator

...and back after long power outage and recovery :\

@joel I have had similar experiences, there may be multiple mixer settings at play; if you open a terminal window and just type 'mixer' you can see all of them; at least on my system "vol" "pcm" "speaker" come into play, "vol" is the one that tends to be controlled by the UI,, but the others feed into it.

@joel awesome; do you know if it is just firefox (like audio output/library issue) or if ANY sound doesn't work?

How much do you drive on average?
https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm

Average male in the US between about 20-54 drives 18,500 per year, average family is about ~30,000 per year.

(which corresponds to roughly 74 to 120 miles/weekday)

@dvl server? :)

@antranigv @dvl 👍

That or debug was my guess

@antranigv @dvl ok.. what does -D do?

@stefano Woah... I knew about SOME of that; like when running diskless from an NFS server.. but I never knew it was THAT easy on a system with a disk, and I've been running #freebsd for 30 years

@j @phen314 To note at least in my case the instance was primarily slow because of the concurrent number of connections; it wasn't CPU or IO or database constrained,I used up the max number of sockets allocated to the service and things had to wait in line behind slow connections; had I configured the proxy with a larger inbound connection pool I may have been fine; but that just potentially opens me up to a different kind of DDoS 🤷

If it happens more frequently I will try to tune it better.

@j @phen314 yes, if you post something that gets boosted a lot, or even just looked at a lot you'll get a LOT of traffic all of a sudden. I replied to a tech-connections post once and WOW, instance went non-responsive for a few minutes with the thundering herd of traffic

@phen314 Could I get some more context here?

@gyptazy @stefano Yes, I agree here, it SHOULD be like email, XMPP, etc.

@stefano I *want* to say that didn't exist when I set up my instance in ~april 2017. I WANT to say that, because I remember looking VERY hard for that... but I see that document was created in ~may 2017, with the pull request on april 24, 2016 (about a week after I sett things up).. so it probably DID exist... but at least the PR says it was "poorly documented"

Oh well, as a single user instance, maybe I just nuke myself back to nothing
