  • Not how I view the world, but how I view USA and “citizens of the free world”.

    In 2016 my girlfriend and I visited New York - for me, first time visiting USA. I had a co-worker who lived in USA for most of her childhood, so I asked her if she had some advice for me to get along with people I met on my way.

    “Never underestimate the stupidity of Americans”.

    I thought that to be rude as I had “talked” with many Americans on Reddit and sure, there were idiots, but that didn’t define a person from USA for me.

    We arrived in New York and took a cab to the hotel. The driver asked us “So, is Donald Trump making headlines in Europe?” (This was during the 2016 election).

    I laughed and told him “Yeah, can you believe people will vote on such a moron”…

    Oh no I didn’t… He was furious, as Donald Trump was the Saviour of USA and he was singlehandedly going to “clean up the swamp” or whatever his catchphrase was… and then he said one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

    “90% of Muslims are terrorists and if you don’t kill them, they will kill you”…

    I know not all Americans are this dumb, but I learned my lesson… Never underestimate the stupidity of Americans.

    Allright, so this is isn’t the parameter that’ll speed things up by itself.

    I set it to 10 (a bit more cautious than you, but this is somewhat new ground for me) and didn’t record more req/s, but it feels like the instance is a bit slower in terms of loading times. After I have tucked the kids in tonight I’ll snoop around netdata (where I’m monitoring the servers) to see what (or if something) has changed.


  • Seems like a great place to look.

    I installed via Ansible, so the config doesn’t include the pool_size by default.

    I can see that the default value is 5
    I’ll go straight ahead and fiddle with this, but do you (or anyone else) have any recommendations, based on how postgres is working and memory/cpu loads?

    (I’m not about to bump it to 100, but maybe someone has already found the “natural limit”)
