Universal expert: somehow, no matter what I post, my username always checks out :)
Sometimes I have to be away from the internet for days or weeks at a time. If I’m not responding, that’s probably why.
Every server just has a cache … there is no profit for the whole network …
I wouldn’t say that caching is no profit. Yesterday there were several times when lemmy.ml was struggling or effectively down for some people, but despite complaints over there I could read lemmy.ml communities just fine through my instance. Caching meant that I was isolated from the service interruption, and the lemmy.ml server was isolated from my contribution to its load.
