Arstechnica runs on WordPress on AWS, and they have a really nice series of articles about it. Sure, you could use just one EC2 instance for everything, but on a high traffic website you would need a bit more.

Autoscaling isn't only used the grow the number of servers under load, but also to guarantee availability of a fixed number. If the max is set to 1, the bastion host is protected against hardware failure, zone outages, or just you screwing up. Accidentally killed your bastion host? No problem, within a few minutes autoscaling will have provisioned a new one and you're good to go again.

Is this a long term source of revenue for Reddit? Or will it loose value at some point, simply because LLMs are all trained sufficiently on user generated content. Is there more to learn at some point?

Also it seems that a lot of content on Resdit is already AI generated, so it would train on data from other LLMs, which I'm sure doesn't improve quality.

Just upgraded my Silverblue installation. It was boring. It just downloaded while I kept working, one reboot, and it just works. Nothing to fix or tweak. What now?

I used to be a big fan of Assassin's Creed games, both the old style and the two new RPG styles. But not sure if I'm down for a 100 hours game.

I think having Game Pass expanded the style of games I play quite a bit, and I now enjoy short games a lot more.

Or if you only have 82.5 hours available, check out the episode recommendations at https://medium.com/maxistentialism-blog/star-trek-deep-space-nine-in-82-5-hours-10acde591fd2 I found it a great way to watch it in a slightly condensed form, focussing on the main themes.

That's why I wrote an Ansible playbook, to configure and update my router and access points. It's nice having this almost as infrastructure-aa-code, with all configuration changes under version control with a clear commit message. The script is available at https://github.com/danielvijge/openwrt-configuration-ansible, but do make some changes to match your configuration. I keep my network configuration (inventory file) in a separate, private GitHub repo, as that contains passwords etc.

To save everyone a click:

[Baldur's Gate 3] will also be out on Xbox before the end of 2023. (...) "It's 2023. And 2023 is narrowing, so it's already pretty precise in my book. Between September and November... So, as fast as we can honestly," Vincke said.

A bit surprising that most people pay full price. I really was under the impression that almost everyone did the 3 years gold-to-gamepass conversion and get it really cheap. But maybe the people here (or on Reddit) are not representative of all subscribers.

My 3 year conversion ends in February. Still undecided if I'll renew at the full monthly price.

It's a great game, from a great developer. So you shouldn't regret anything.

Important note is that is only applies to the Elite 2 and the adaptive controller.

Excited for Lil Gator Game. I've heard many good things about it.

One of the things wrong with platforms like Facebook and Twitter are the filter bubbles they create through their algorithms. I think it would be a mistake to again create filter bubbles through non- (or de-) federation.

I want to play this. But i also still have a lot of game pass games i want to play. Oh, when will my struggles ever end?

Thanks for the quick fix. And thank you very much for this really awesome app!

I remember the developer mentioned something about this once, and I had to scroll way to far back to find it: https://lemmy.ca/comment/1264956

I can totally understand being somewhat insecure about your code, or have the feeling that you need to do this/this/that before you can publish it online. And indeed dealing with an issue tracker, pull request that people expect you to review, forks of your code being published elsewhere, finding and trusting other developers to commit directly to your project can feel stressful. Disabling issues and pull request on GitHub could resolve some of these issues.

Connect is a fantastic app, and still my favourite lemmy client. I hope it will continue to work en be great for a long time. And most importantly that the developers still has fun working on the project.

Missed a bit of variation in the games. I felt alot of it was 3D with guns and generic video game graphics. Would have been nice to have to have a platformer, or some titles with distinct art styles.

I just finished Inside. A really weird and wonderful game. In terms of gameplay quite similar to Planet of Lana, which I played before. Both are quite short. I you haven't played Inside before, don't look anything up, and just start playing. The less you know before hand, the better it will be.

Interested in playing The Quarry. Let's see if this is fun to do as a couch co-op.

Same. Looks a bit like Sable, but with a really different art style.
