  • If I have several backends that more or less depend on each other anyway (for example: Lemmy + pict-rs), then I will create separate databases for them within a single postgres - reason being, if something bad happens to the database for one of them, then it affects the other one as well anyway, so there isn’t much to gain from isolating the databases.

    Conversely, for completely unrelated services, I will always set up separate postgres instances, for full isolation.









  • I think it works best if you have a lot of screen real estate. My sweet spot is around 5120x1440p (either ultrawide or two monitors) with about 5 desktops. I never overlap windows and it works amazingly for me.

    I used to do this with Gnome, nowadays I use the exact same workflow in Mac OS, and I feel super productive with it. I haven’t used alt tab in about a decade now 😃

    For me, it only works with good keyboard shortcuts for the following:

    1. Quickly moving between desktops (for example, super + <desktop number>)
    2. Quickly moving windows between (for example, super + shift + <desktop number>)
    3. Quickly snapping windows to areas in the current desktop (for example, super + arrow keys)
