I’m not an 1.e4 or Sicilian player but this smells like wild tactical variations early in the game.

Update 1

Thanks all for your feedback 🙏 I think everybody made a valid point that the OOTB configuration of 33 requests/min was quite useless and we can do better than that.

I reconfigured timeouts and probes and tuned it down to 4 HTTP GET requests/minute out of the box - see the configuration for details.

🌐 A pre-release version is available at lemmy-meter.info.

For the moment, it only probes the test instances

• enterprise.lemmy.ml
• ds9.lemmy.ml
• voyager.lemmy.ml

I’d very much appreciate your further thoughts and feedback.

Agreed. It was a mix of too ambitious standards for up-to-date data and poor configuration on my side.

sane defaults and a timeout period

I agree. This makes more sense.

Your name will be associated with abuse forevermore.

I was going to ignore your reply as a 🧌 given it’s an opt-in service for HTTP monitoring. But then you had a good point on the next line!

Let’s use such important labels where they actually make sense 🙂

beyond acceptable use

Since literally every aspect of lemmy-meter is configurable per instance, I’m not worried about that 😎 The admins can tell me what’s the frequency/number they’re comfortable w/ and I can reconfigure the solution.

You can hit the endpoint /api/v3/site for information about an instance including the admins list.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks very much 🙏

Thanks for the link. Had no idea about that.

Thanks all for the input 🙏

I did a quick experiment w/ the APIs and I think I have identified the ones I’d need. Obviously, all is open source (GPLv3) available on github: lemmy-clerk

As the next step, I’m going to expose that data to Prometheus for scraping.

I still haven’t made up my mind as to what is a good interval. But I think I’ll take a per-endpoint approach, hitting more expensive ones less frequently.

So far I can only think of 4-5 endpoints/URLs that I should hit in every iteration as outlined in the post above.

web/mobile home feed
web/mobile create post/comment
web/mobile search

I think those will cover most of the usecases.

Thanks. Yes, lemmy-status.org was where I got the initial idea 💯

automatic list

For the website I’m thinking about, I’d rather keep it exclusively opt-in. I don’t wish to add any extra load since most of the instances are running off of enthusiasts’ pockets.

Magnus Carlsen and Alireza Firouzja will throw down

This promises to be fun…a lot! 📺 🛋 🍿

Been there! Once I lost ~120 points in one sitting 🤦 I was bored and was playing without being really engaged in the game - something that used to happen frequently. I stopped that behaviour and since then been only playing only when I feel my brain is ready, rather than playing every day or week. It’s been working quite well for me.
