Mastodon will no longer support Redis Namespaces. The reasons are fully valid. Redis (or, more specifically, Valkey or KeyDB) is lightweight software that is easy to install/manage, so separation is always a good thing.
However, I read that many admins will face problems because they use Redis "in the cloud" and, therefore, have a single instance. Unfortunately, this is also a side effect of the "cloud," meaning the loss of control over your own software.
On FreeBSD, a thin jail with "Redis" takes up very little space and resources.

Am Freitag wurde mir die Gallenblase entfernt und direkt davor habe ich mir prompt den Fuß beim Wandern verstaucht. Nun kann ich also 2 Wochen lang nur auf Krücken gehen, mich nicht bücken, nichts heben und nicht lange sitzen. Ein Traum. ✨
Damit ich nicht in grumpiger Depression versinke, weil ich nicht wandern kann, plane ich nun, jeden Tag ein kleines Bastelprojekt zu machen. :3 also, machen wir das beste draus!
Exercises from the watercolour course I started (and abandoned) last year. Although I have no will power to concentrate on precision in the evening, I can’t not notice I’ve improved in understanding - things just make more sense to me. All the same ideas (blending edges with the background, painting shapes not lines) but I “hear” it better this time. Taking long breaks helps, practicing “your thing”, your own way of doing it also helps

Dammit, we missed Ruth Amos, on TV last night.
Got the series set to record now, so just need to find ep1 on repeat now.

I suspect (and dumbing down is often not really the intention I guess) that these types of shows are geared less towards learning and inspiration and more towards entertainment.
That's how I feel about them especially when the directors prefer filming a face talking, or just nodding, instead of the thing that is being done.
But I want to see this show anyway, and before I pass any judgement on it directly.

As a European, I can verify this
In fact, the reason it angers a Frenchman so much to be called a frog is because it triggers their inherent philosophical nature to ponder whether or not they themselves exist, to which the answer is always "J’ai besoin d’une cigarette"
Researchers at Harvard Business School and University of Toronto used unique data to quantify the value of open source.
Takeways:
* Supply-side (cost to recreate) is ~$4.15B, but demand-side (value to firms) is $8.8T. Shows massive cost savings & productivity boost from OSS.
* If OSS didn't exist, firms would need to spend an estimated 3.5 times more on software than they currently do. OSS provides a massive, often invisible, productivity boost.
* A tiny fraction of OSS developers create the vast majority of value. Only 5% of developers are responsible for over 96% of the demand-side value
* Firms should not just "free ride" on OSS but actively contribute to the ecosystem, as this is far cheaper than recreating the software themselves.

I should be working on a DFG proposal.
But I'm more in the mood for messing about with vacuum pumps.
These were free because our workshop didn't think it was worth repairing them. Motors completely shot, everything seized, chunky oil. I was not yet able to separate the case from the pump...
