yeah, i’ve been running arch for a couple of years now and the only time something broke was when the computer died in the middle of updating

very sad. i can barely use lemmy.world communities as they take weirdly long to federate with my tiny instance. for example, from my instance i can only see the pinned posts on the new 196, and it has been pending subscription since yesterday.

one of my friends uses lemmy

last time i tried it took like 20 minutes, when it’s just around 2GiB.

i thought it might be because the folder is on a hdd, so i tested moving the entire thing to an ssd and lo and behold, du only took 15 seconds there. too bad I don’t have enough disk space on the ssd to keep the folder there, so i guess I’ll just suffer. the files are probably fragmented over the entire drive or something, idk.
