Hey #CSS and #HTML folks, it's 2025 and we still do not have a way to set an `img` source defined by the size of the element instead of the viewport? Or did I miss something?

For example: an element with three or two cards in a row. I would rather set the image source to a file that is close to the actual element size that to thinker with viewport sizes and extra markers for 2 or 3 columns.

I really care for #webPerformance too much…

Tuning PostgreSQL for PieFed

Every instance will be different but generally speaking the default settings that PostgreSQL has will be Ok to start with but once the instance has been running for a few months the amount of data being stored will mean things start to bog down and some tuning is needed.

https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua will give you a good starting point.

What we use on piefed.social, with 4 CPU cores and 8 GB of RAM is:

synchronous_commit = offwal_writer_delay = 2000msmax_connections = 200shared_buffers = 1GBeffective_cache_size = 4GBmaintenance_work_mem = 1GBcheckpoint_completion_target = 0.9wal_buffers = 16MBdefault_statistics_target = 100random_page_cost = 1.1effective_io_concurrency = 200work_mem = 10MBhuge_pages = offmin_wal_size = 1GBmax_wal_size = 3GBmax_worker_processes = 4max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 2max_parallel_workers = 4max_parallel_maintenance_workers = 2

That’s pretty much what pgtune provided me except work_mem is a bit bigger.

Save this text in a file at /etc/postgresql/14/main/conf.d/piefed.conf.

The “14” part of that path will vary depending on your postgresql version.

📄 Why is WordPress a Scalable, Global, and Secure Solution?

Although frequently misunderstood, the HTTP Cache-Control header is crucial because it specifies caching mechanisms within requests and responses.  In its typical format, it reveals details as to how resources are stored, the location of the resource and the maximum age before expiring…

In our latest blog post, Kieran Larking highlights that the No-cache directive does not prevent caching and looks at typical caching behaviour directives and how to correctly use these directives to balance performance and security: pentestpartners.com/security-b
