  • This release has such bangers. Was so excited to read it in my RSS feed today & comment here.

    • IPv6 segment routing (SRv6) support
    • BGP monitoring (BMP) suppor
    • Firewall flowtable offload functionality

    And the ultimate biggie: The long-awaited ability to rollback configuration without having to reboot is finally here (T5249).

    Thanks so much to the VyOS team for an awesome RC.






  • I’d say they’re comparable and have similar problems experienced in different ways.

    On mastodon, a big name becomes the stress on the server. It’s like people showing up to a small coffee shop to hear a politician speak about something. If the politician becomes more renowned / popular, eventually they have rallies. Eventually those rallies are broadcasted and licestreamed… All that means more infra and more $

    Lemmy has the problem of communities. Communities sometimes gather in small places like a person’s house or a bar. If that community grows large, maybe they need to have a conference / convention (like an anime or tech community). That means the instance that hosts that community has to has a conference sized instance, to host all the lads/lasses/etc of the fediverse.

    More eyeballs / more discussion = more demand. Simple as that.

    edit: I will add that there is one difference. You might have your own little small fragmented community, here on sh.itjust … like for skateboards. More intimate discussion, etc. This would potentially prevent c/skateboards on an instance from growing too large…

    But there is only one @gargron that most people will follow.
