Yes, the initial syncing and indexing can take a moment. I would recommend joining a single Pub or SSB room [1] to find people and grow your network organically. The large Pubs [2] have a lot of content to download and also follow bots (which you would have to block).

You need to connect with others. I think Manyverse is best used with SSB rooms where you can find others (to connect/follow), see https://github.com/staltz/ssb-room/blob/master/FAQ.md

Alternative is a Pub, but joining a Pub is not so great with Manyverse as it will download a lot of content to your mobile phone.

The Oasis SSB client [1] is a webapp which you open in the browser. Oasis (like nearly all SSB clients) is a JavaScript package which you can install via npm.

I tried it out (see https://twitter.com/try_except_/status/1333499056769937408) and got great support in the Matrix/Riot chat (https://matrix.radicle.community). Definitely looking forward to distributed git changing the developer landscape :-)

I'm curious, did you use Patroni directly on Kubernetes or use Zalando's Postgres Operator [1] (based on Patroni)? [1] https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator

It's a German registered association (e.V.), i.e. it's not only a single company or person behind it. Funding is done by membership fees. As a member you also get insights (regular newsletter) into the financial situation, e.g. how much money is on the bank account.

Yes, I'm actively using Codeberg for my OSS projects (I still have some on GitHub, too), e.g. https://codeberg.org/hjacobs/kube-web-view/

Some functionality is lacking compared to GitHub, but it does what it needs to do for me.

True, but at least they now have an API for account creation (AWS Organizations) --- it was really painful in 2015/16 to script (in the browser!) all necessary steps for account creation (add credit card, remove it again [to switch to invoice], etc)

It's not mentioned in the post, but PostgreSQL is the prime candidate to replace your MySQL: "The World's Most Advanced Open Source Relational Database". We are happy users of PostgreSQL in Zalando since 2010 (we switched from MySQL). Here some old slide deck (2013) where I briefly "ranted" about MySQL: https://www.slideshare.net/try_except_/goto-2013whyzalandotr...

New comment by hjacobs in "Ask HN: Do you run databases on Kubernetes?"

hjacobs — Sun, 18 Aug 2019 19:51:05 +0000

I work at Zalando where we run hundreds of PostgreSQL database clusters on Kubernetes (on AWS) using our Postgres Operator (https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator). This gives us some added flexibility, quick startup (e.g. for e2e), and the latest PG features. That being said, I would be careful to recommend any specific stateful workload approach without good understanding of the whole setup (true for whatever cloud/k8s/onprem environment).
