Then you are still part of the problem. Besides, if you're trying to reach the people who remain on Twitter, that says a decent amount about you.

"users of my application". You seem to be claiming that everyone still on Twitter is ideologically compromised. There's a ton of people just ignoring the politics and I still need a channel to reach them.

The politics are all that are left; it's impossible to use Twitter and not participate on some level.

For example, Twitter is now called X. Surely they noticed that.

Hardware vendors are known to swap to cheaper lower performance hardware after reviews are out which in my eyes is fraud, whether or not the law agrees is a different story.

Please name the vendors that do this so I can avoid them.

LTT documented it happening to at least: ADATA, Kingston and PNY in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K07sEM6y4Uc

This is the only correct answer, if you don't like the boss of a social media company, you should just cut all ties with everyone on there. Then lock yourself into your room, never go outside again, and complain about it on HN.

Or you could have a spine and move over to a platform not run by a billionaire antisemite.

Under long term heavy duty, I've routinely seen cheap modern platter outperform cheap brand name NVME.

There's some cost cutting somewhere. The NVMEs can't seem to sustain throughput.

It's been pretty disappointing to move I/O bound workloads over and not see notable improvements. The magnitude of data I'm talking about is 500-~3000GB

I've only got two NVME machines for what I'm doing so I'll gladly accept that it's coincidentally flaky bus hardware on two machines, but I haven't been impressed except for the first few seconds.

I know Everyone says otherwise which is why I brought it up. Someone tell me why I'm crazy

Edit: no, I'm not crazy. https://htwingnut.com/2022/03/06/review-leven-2tb-2-5-sata-s... this is similar to what I'm seeing with Crucial and Adata hardware, almost binary performance

I can't take this seriously. Sorry.

Fix everything that makes Mastodon a terrible user experience, get me and all the people I want to reach an invite to Bluesky or persuade people to start using Threads, and I'll happily switch.

Yet again monetary selfishness wins over principle.

Maybe you should stay on Twitter.

Edit: Based on your website, who exactly are you trying to reach? Prospective clients? On Twitter?

You say "users of your app", but it seems like that isn't a huge volume of people, and were you to move to Bluesky, they would almost certainly follow... Unless it's not worth it for them?

I think cheaper QLC chips use a part of their storage space as SLC, which is fast to write. But once you’ve written the fast part that fits in the SLC cache write throughput quickly tanks as it has to push the data further in to the slower QLC parts.

1) Nobody says otherwise about cheap anything NVMe. They're pretty terrible once they've exhausted the write cache. This is well-known and addressed in every decent review by reputable sites.

2) Sustaining throughput seems the least of our problems when some unknown number of NVMe SSDs might be literally losing flushed data.
