  • Slightly off-topic, but do you use Proton's other products? If so, would you recommend any of them?

  • Does Lemmy really benefit from Rust? Is code execution speed the bottleneck?
  • 1500 users isn't a ton, but the request queue for new accounts was likely very large due to the Reddit exodus. So they were probably concerned about future capacity. They also likely received a ton of traffic from non-users just seeing what the hype was about.

    To give some perspective on Rust efficiency: I worked on a project that converted a pretty straight-forward Python backend to Rust, and the memory usage was cut by about 20x. This has pretty big implications for cloud hosting, as memory is often pretty expensive (for AWS, at least). Server costs will be very critical for lemmy servers since funding tends to come from less reliant sources (vs VC funding, business revenue, etc.).

  • What are the keyboard shortcuts you use the most?

    I'm trying to make my Obsidian use a bit more efficient, and I'm still learning the product as a whole. What are some of your most-used/favorites?

    What do you use to track your reading?
  • Readwise/Reader and that syncs to Obsidian. Been loving this combo.

  • What's Lemmy reading?
  • I've been working through Solenoid by Mircea Cartarescu for the past few months. It's a monster of a book, and some of the writing is really great (very Kafka-esque). There's unfortunately a bit of awkward sex writing, too, but it hasn't pulled from the good writing by any means.

  • Your favourite themes
  • Wow, AnuPpuccin looks great! I just switched from Catppuccin. Thanks for the link!

  • What are your thoughts about Obsidian not being Open Source?
  • I would prefer it to be open-source, but at least the data format (markdown) is ubiquitous and stored wherever I want it to be stored.
