My last employer also asked us to put up glassdoor reviews, but that was when they generally had a good image on the site and had received a few (honestly undeserved at the time) negative reviews.

As things changed for the worse, my colleagues and I watched their rating slowly decline over the course of a year and a half. The higher ups quickly stopped mentioning it. They… do not have a good image on glassdoor anymore.

Are you able to submit a new review? I didn’t leave my own review until after I was laid off, so I haven’t bothered to “update” mine.

Broadly, this is a simple version of the Strategy Pattern, which is incredibly useful for making flexible software.

In Python, the example given is basically the classic bodge attempt to emulate switch-case statements.

Be me whose server is on Ubuntu 18.04 and needs upgrading to get Bluetooth into home assistant 😭

It does have some weird crypto stuff it promotes/offers after a vanilla install, but you can hide literally all of it. Brave is my daily driver, and looking at my installs you’d never know it had crypto stuff integrated.

I wasn’t calling you out, just contributing my best knowledge to the conversation 😅

All credit where credit is due, it’s an impressive project. Just some things where I’m like… “this isn’t going to stand up to significant traffic as-is”. I’ve legit considered starting a clone - not least because I’m just not as familiar with rust, yet - but that would be counterproductive to my goal of improving things.

As far as improvements, honestly, if you’re just hosting a small instance with a small user count, you’ll probably be fine. If you start getting significant amounts of traffic, that’s where I see problems starting to arise.

Personally, the instance I’m working on, I’m trying to build to support scaling to multiple geolocated servers (and multiple processes on each server to support traffic) with centralized database and image hosting among them. The docker setup is… not suitable for such 😅 I’d love to see how some of the bigger instances have their architectures set up, to see how much they deviate from the standard.

I’ve only recently started diving into the code and working on standing up my own setup, but so far, as someone who has a bit of devops and architecture experience, the architectural decisions of the project seem less than ideal.

Hoping I’ll be able to contribute some improvements before too long.

The docker compose file in the lemmy-ansibe mainline still has postgres 15, so I’m not seeing any evidence of a downgrade.

What kind of network traffic and disk usage are you seeing with 3500 incoming communities?
