If you don't wanna feel as hungry, eat a larger amount of fibrous carbs and less starchy carbs, that don't make you feel as full.

For me its beans, broccoli, spinach / greens, edamame, mushrooms, etc. I still do eat plenty of starchy carb staples (pototoes, rice, bread), but for some reason these never make me feel full.

Also drink more water / liquids. Half the time when you think you're hungry, you just need more water.

I can't take any credit for that one. A few months ago I put out a request to various rust programming communities on lemmy, asking if anyone could help make a rust library to use the clearurls data.

@jendrikw did, so now we're using their crate.

Nothing changed there. The image resolution changes have to do with thumbnails fetched from other sites or servers.

I would go crazy with hearing the ticking, but it does look great.

Alabama still very much has slavery / a few slave labor camps running. Not as many as California tho.

I increased the size of a postgres DB column, and it grinded every query on the table to a halt. Turns out we needed to run analyze on the column.

I opened up an issue on the postgres issue tracker because I've never seen anything like this before, and I'm sure we're not the only one to run into this production-breaking migration.

No probs! Sry this one took so long. Major props to @nutomic@lemmy.ml for finding the bug that was the main blocker, and @phiresky@lemmy.world for suggesting the fix.

Lemmy v0.19.6 Release (join-lemmy.org)
submitted 3 days ago by dessalines@lemmy.ml to c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

Changes

This release took a long time to complete due to a major performance problem which brought lemmy.ml to a crawl every time we tried to deploy the new version. It took a lot of testing (in production) to narrow it down to a single commit, and finally fix the problem.

The release itself contains numerous bug fixes and minor improvements:

Upgrade instructions

This upgrade could take as long as ~30 minutes for larger servers, due to needing to recalculate controversy ranks for all historical posts.

There are no breaking changes with this release.

Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker.

If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

Thanks to everyone

We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute.

Special shout out to @SleeplessOne1917, @phiresky, @dullbananas, @mv-gh, @Nothing4u, @asonix, @sunaurus, @flamingo-cant-draw, and @Freakazoid182 for their many code contributions and helpful insights.

Support development

We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over five years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation, as well as donations from individual users.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. A recurring donation is the best way to ensure that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive, and helps us grow our little developer co-op to support more full-time developers.

What prevents someone from calling your anarchist collective that arms up to defend their class interests, a state?

What prevents ppl from labeling your actions "authoritarian" when you start to dismantle capitalist power structures?

Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

We also apologize for all the downtime on lemmy.ml recently, but thanks to @Nutomic and @phiresky, we've narrowed down the issue, and have a fix for it.

This was a blocker for the 0.19.6 release, so that should be ready to go soon, with 0.20.0 not long after.
