Moved slowly and fixed it.
Throughput was dropping to 3,000 msgs/s, which is way too low for a high-performance system.
Turns out the NATS message broker had a bug that caused excessive CPU usage, and upgrading it fixed the issue.
My archiving service is now lagging a few seconds behind during the pump. 🤔
Server is running at 50-70% CPU - 4 cores.
FASTER!

Nuke his portfolio and release AI
Then dump the AI stocks when he buys.
Must be extremely hard to be young and trying to get out of the hamster wheel rn.
Rent eats your salary. Buying a home is impossible because you aren't able to save up anything.
Then the common advice is to go to university to learn a valuable skill and work your way up. Okay, but now you're also wondering if AI will take your job by the time you're good at it. I don't think AI takes every job. But imagine starting your career with that hanging over you.
Makes it easier to understand why people end up gambling on crypto or taking massively stupid risks tbh. If the sensible route doesn't look like it'll get you there, ofc you're going to look for another one.

Couple days in
📍 Thessaloniki 🇬🇷
Walked for about 3 hours yesterday through main areas. Sunny & nice for early Nov.
Quite impressed. Way more chill than Athens.
Clean. Less graffiti slop. Nice green areas.
Very affordable. Lot of young people around, looked good, healthy.
Guess tons of beach / day trips nearby. International airport.
Could be solid spot to camp out !
Vegans: Killing animals for food is unnecessary and causes suffering.
Plants: Taste bitter to avoid being eaten.
Goats: Burn themselves and taste delicious.
Conclusion: Goats want to be eaten. Plants don't.
Think about it.

It has been a month, and I still can't use AWS. Honestly, I have given up on setting it up.
Here is what happened:
- When you are new to AWS and want to open an account, you will probably create a "Builder Account" on aws.amazon.com/. Supposedly, you can still create servers, but it's not the one you should be using? Either way, this is the one I created, without knowing anything at first.
- To start building, you need to enter your contact details, but for whatever reason, the devs either vibecoded it or are too incompetent to create a working contact details form. Long story short, it doesn't work and prompts you to try again or contact support.
- You contact support, but they never reply. After complaining here on X, David Nalley (@ke4qqq) from Amazon messaged me and offered to help. He took the time to connect with me on LinkedIn, listen to my problem, and forward it internally. It really impressed me, and this is exactly how customer support should be.
You will go far buddy. I wish you all the best.
- Tech support started contacting me on my phone. They told me to log in to the Console, but somehow it didn't work. They said they would try to fix the issue.
- A few days later, they sent me an email stating they had found the issue and resolved it. So I went into my Builder Account and still couldn't enter my contact details. So what did they fix exactly? None knows.
- In the meantime, I had figured out on my own that the Console requires a completely different account, and this is actually the "normal" one. So I created one with the same email address.
- However, ENTERING MY PAYMENT INFO DIDN'T WORK on this one. Jesus Christ, nothing worked. At least this time, it showed an error code, so tech support surely should be able to resolve it?
- I updated my ticket to say that it still didn't work. Tech support called me again, this time a different guy. I explained both problems to him, and he asked me why I was using a "Builder Account" in the first place (this is the default one?). He also said he couldn't enter my contact details manually and would look into it.
- We scheduled a call for the next day at the exact same time. However, I received calls at completely random times when I wasn't available. They stopped contacting me, or maybe reached out from unknown numbers, which I am not accepting.
- Later, they told me I should change my email address on one account and try again, since having two accounts with the same email address may cause problems?
I am sorry, but this is the biggest bullshit ever, and I am not going to spend additional time and effort on this.
Anyone had a similar experience?
First time using AWS:
> Enter contact details.
> Error, try again or contact support.
> Try again 5 times.
> Contact support.
> Support would respond within 24 hours.
> Four days later, still no response.
Unusable.

Tech companies should design their devices with automated disassembly in mind, enabling efficient and cheap recycling and the recovery of materials such as gold.
This would also allow consumers to trade in old or even broken devices for discounts on new ones reducing e-waste.
Am I the only one who hates how e-waste heavy tech yt is? Look at Linus or JeffGeerling yt channels, there are dozens of useless tech gadgets that are only used once, everyone is running a massive server for 0 reason.
Consoom product, get excited for next product.

I received a call from Sam Altman after I started taking creatine again.
He said I was incredibly selfish and that the water stored in my biceps could be better used for data centers.
Unbelievable this guy.

The much less than 2.1 children/woman (less than 1 children/woman in South Korea) is the biggest problem humanity has currently. People are lazy in thinking and just wrong in explanations, mixing their favorite political themes to this issue. No country is attempting to honestly understand it, let alone to fix it or mitigate it.

Cyber Attacks in 2027:
Hacker got access to our internal AI tools, has burnt 10 Million in tokens and stole 3 thousand dollars.
If you're a big company and have access to the Mythos model, you know, the one Anthropic deemed too dangerous, revoke all API keys immediately after you're done with your security audits.
Otherwise, an attacker or laptop thief could use it against you, and it'll be too late to do anything once it has spawned 100 subagents.

When you're a Europoor investor, you really need to keep an eye on global markets and follow the weird American politics.
For those that care about finance.
Democrats winning is bullish for the stock market, especially if Trump stops the bombing in Iran.
A gridlock has always been a positive for markets.
Expect rates to crash lower and assets to rise. Money finally has been unlocked back to baseline.
Been happening for 100 years.
