Have you tried a coffein detox?

> Doing the multiple account thing isn’t as easy as it sounds though. Some sites like Reddit make switching between accounts incredibly easy

And it's as easy to dox yourself by responding with the wrong account, as I have seen multiple times on Reddit.

trick here.. create different chrome profiles, with different color schemes. Peach is my "nice person" account. Red is for accounts that I want to be a little more argumentative.

I do this at work too.. where I have to have different user profiles to emulate working as an admin, staff, client, sub-client. Blue seems adminny :)

I do a similar thing with my terminal emulator: Different background colours in PuTTY depending on which server it's connected to. Green for Dev, red for Prod...

This happens a lot with viral-bait accounts. One of the top posts on the UFO board just got caught sockpuppeting this week.

Message the authors about this. Most website owners don't know their cms is also creating a rss/atom feed. Sometimes it took awhile, but I had moderate success with it.

How do you handle minor upgrades with 100% availability?

It has built-in replicas for upgrades and general availability (for a price)

You can get HA via leader election through Patroni.

For backups, pg_dump is good and simple for starting out.

For tuning, postgresqlco.nf[1] is great.

Do you need HA, or do you want to minimize downtime? At work we have something like an "error budget", were we accept downtime but try to minimize it. As such we have two nodes with one floating ip and a shared disk. The switch over takes as long as stopping the database on the first node, starting up the database on the second one and switching over the ip. Stuff like kernel updates takes us <1 minute of scheduled downtime, which is good enough for us.

Here is a good talk which resonated with me from the last pgconf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rYP6xVymtI

If you want more, I think Patroni (by Zalando) is the current best option for you. Patroni handles automatic leader election if the master goes down, and it is open source. Read here more:

Minimizing unintended downtime is the primary intent. Having a second server automatically take over in less than a minute or two would be good enough for me. I'll look in to shared disks and Patroni. Thank you for the pgconf video too.

I considered switching to Drupal. For which use cases do you think Drupal will shine? And for which not?

I would rather answer the first one :)

Multilingual is built into Drupal and as far as I am aware, it's a plugin for Wordpress.

Complex permissions/access control is another area where Drupal is much stronger.

And overall, the more complex the requirements are , the more likely Drupal will be the answer. Wordpress leans very heavily towards "here, install this, it'll work, you can tweak it and that's about it". Drupal gives you a gigantic bucket of LEGO. In other words, although it's a bit of an exaggeration but not badly, with Wordpress you start from a working website and there's only so far you can walk from that point. With Drupal, you need to walk quite a bit in the first place to get a good website but there's just no end how far you can walk.

Thanks, that helped a lot.

If they talk about in-game currency, probably they mean mudflation. It's like inflation, but in games. If you can produce in-game currency out of nothing, the value drops.

Oh - I see. In-game currency is taken out of circulation.

Yes, this was what I was trying to describe.

Good ol' Nagios does this, except maybe for pretty graphing. Maybe look into Icinga2 (fork of Nagios) for that.

The modern Version would be something like Prometheus with Grafana.

Zabbix might be too much for a homelab setup.

Actually, Zabbix runs pretty well in a homelab setup. Doesn’t eat much resources with its 3 containers here.
