  • That’s really helpful. That makes me think a few things

    1. I’m already behind on a bunch of things: eye doctor, dentist, and I think I might need PT. Adding another thing to the mix overwhelms me. On one hand, writing this sounds like ADHD. On the other hand, I know health insurance is designed to make you feel as overwhelmed as possible because of greed. So idk if I’m the problem
    2. I’m worried meds will affect my creativity. But I don’t really see any harm in trying, see how I feel, and reevaluating. So this isn’t a big deal to me
    3. To expand on point 1, it feels very frustrating to me that I need to be medicated to function in a society whose values are very backwards. There are things that I wanna do (e.g, read, be more present in conversation, etc) where I think meds would help. But there are many things where I feel society is squeezing me into a box. The meds just make me fit into the box nicely instead of questioning why the box is even necessary. Does that make sense?





  • I don’t think caching benefits Lemmy and PieFed content that is changing very rapidly (e.g. new comments). That type of caching makes more sense for Lemmy/PieFed images.

    However, bot traffic can get very expensive these days with all the AI crawlers. Cloudflare offers very good tooling to block these bots. I know there are other open source tools and I’m not defending Cloudflare, but it’s also easy to criticize when you’re not the person running the instance. From what I’ve seen, all the admins work very hard to keep the threadiverse running. I’m guessing that’s why a lot of instances are using Cloudflare.
