To all mastodon admins:

Hi! I’m Evan Phoenix, the primary author of puma, the ruby webserver that powers mastodon!

Please reply or DM me if you need tuning help! I’ve got no officiation with the mastodon, just want to see you succeed!

(Quick Tip: set WEB_CONCURRENCY to core count * 1.5 and then tune MAX_THREADS. High thread values will see diminishing returns!)

Been largely decaffeinated for the last 9 years. Still like coffee, but quality of decaf is very poor in many coffee shops, so mostly make at home. Do drink caffeinated tea, but only about one pot a week.

“What makes the Brexit taboo all the more extraordinary is that this was supposed to be the great project of national liberation; the unleashing of a new age of freedom and prosperity. Yet now – to reprise another phrase redolent of Victorian prudishness – it has become the love that dare not speak its name. At most, there are vague references to ‘Brexit opportunities’, the precise nature of which are only coyly hinted at.

Not accepting or being able to discuss the damage caused by Britain's exit from the EU leaves the country in a unsustainable position, writes Chris Grey
