Thanks. That’s scary though.

Maybe the host was the problem in the first place!

If the federation is done by a helper app then it may be possible to throttle it. At least it wouldn’t choke out the machine and slow down other running processes.

I would start by setting up some sort of a monitoring system that tracks your memory usage, disk I/O, CPU etc. There are many packages out there for that. I don’t know what lemmy is written in but chances are there are also application monitoring you can wire in too like Sentry https://sentry.io/welcome/

Of course I don’t know how your app is being hosted by fediservices. I don’t know if you have shell access or can install any apps or whatever.

I was under the impression that our vaccines have not been updated and are not very useful against the latest variants.

Given the lack of rigorous testing and monitoring I suspect actual reported number of cases should be doubled or tripled. The hospitalisation and deaths are more reliable and that’s what we should be monitoring.

What are you tracking? Where are you hosting? What kind of monitoring do you have in place?

It keeps timing out on me. It’s sporatic but more frequent than I would expect.

How come nobody is reporting on covid anymore? From what I understand there has been a serious spike in cases over the last couple of weeks.

I get the feeling nobody will reconsider anything until they are personally effected.

How did they determine the cause and effect in this relationship given the amount of overseas investment in housing in Australia?

AFIK the US has very long mortgage terms. It’s routine to get a 30 year mortgage with locked in terms. Of course people can and do refinance but if they have good terms they can keep them until the house is paid off.

Our mortgages are only a couple of years or so.

That’s a huge difference INMHO and can’t really be compared.

I would need to see some peer reviewed study on it. You know the old saying. For every economist there exists an equal and opposite economist.

Is there any evidence that subsidies drive up prices? This seems like one of those economic deepity like “rising tide lifts all boats”.

Who is the “we” you are talking about?

Hopefully :(

The point is that the word recession has a meaning, the meaning is accepted worldwide, and we are in one. I would also dispute that we are not experiencing the bad effects. The polls seem to indicate the public is feeling quite a bit of pain.

What’s the difference between a technical recession or an actual recession. Words are supposed to have meanings and recession is a well defined term with globally accepted measurement metrics.

If we are technically in a recession it means we are in a recession.

The article says “will be unemployed” meaning they are going to get fired or laid off or whatever the term they are using these days.

Sounds like they expect it to peak at about 4.8% if my maths is right? Historically, that’s still pretty low.

I don’t know. Usually mass layoffs have carry over to the rest of the economy. All the businesses serving those government employees are probably also going to downsize somewhat. Some may even go out of business who knows.

I get lost with the new benefits. Are the 187k people on Jobseeker not all considered “unemployed”?

Most likely not everybody who is unemployed is getting a benefit so the number unemployed should be higher than those seeking jobseeker benefits.

Even if we were to change our drug policies you can be sure you can be sure it won’t be an overhaul but minuscule chipping away at the edges.

Despite our reputation to the contrary this country is way too conservative to overhaul our drug policies.
