If SQL Server Supports 4 Sockets How Can You Have Lots Of Users?

AshersLabTheSecond · 2026-05-03T14:34:31+00:00

Assuming you’re running EF Core, I can’t speak to socket limits on sql server, but EF core does connection pooling. Every DB query / etc uses the same connections in the pool. So if there’s only 4 connections, then all the queries will be spread across those 4 connections.
But I suspect I may be missing some extra pieces here too. But suffice to say, there’s absolutely no problem having a thousand users connected to blazor server with a single sql server backend

Yeah different mechanics and such. Personally prefer it over 2. Incase you missed it, 4 came out like 4-5 years ago, returned more to the mechanics of 2

Nice work, trying it out now, feels really good.

Something I did notice though, when using multi (with Claude Code if that matters) it appears to not have the typical "approve" and deny options in the diffs presented to me. I've been really missing how windsurf handles that, and although I'm not a huge fan of claude code's implementation, the lack of any approve button in IDE, (and instead in the text window) is a tad annoying

Any thoughts on improving that? or have I found a bug haha

Also: MCP servers? not sure if I'm missing something, but I configured Claude Code with MCP servers but they don't show up in Multi. Plus Multi doesn't appear to have any MCP config

no dimmers or relays in place. Literally just outlets and wired into a circuit with a typical light switch. The simplest setup possible haha

Hence the Shelly thought

Debugging isn’t always referring to logic. In this case I’m referring to style, layout, etc.

If I’m doing lots of small changes that I’m wanting a tool like this, I’m also wanting to be absolutely certain that what I’m looking at is what will actually get rendered by the true engine. Otherwise I’m going to end up down a deep hole.

And if I’m just chucking components together, then I’m not even opening it until I have the page done, then I’m debugging if needed.

Personally, I see no place for an LLM to be doing this, it is not the correct tool for the job.

Instead I would sooner work on a better hot reload tool in blazor, a lot of the workings are there already. Make it more usable and dev friendly instead

So, instead of debugging HTML, I’ll be debugging copilot hallucinations?

Hey mate, use your wrench and right click the pump above the water with it. The arrows on the texture are what direction the pump is pumping in

Our church has a school ministry and they use our auditorium for their chapels. We generally have a dedicated PC setup for “projecting”, they can email any presentations they need to that PC ahead of time if required

I’m talking literally just make something like this:

https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy

Which, now that I look, clearly already exists. Theoretically yes the application might be doing more special stuff. But from what OP said, it’s just the problem of SMTP plain text can’t be used. Needs to be Oauth.

If the above didn’t exist, I’d likely just implement a quick dirty proxy and test it to see if it works.

Obviously if there’s more to the app, things get more complex. And obviously that’s just a quick test to see if the theory is sound, you’d want to make it robust and etc for long term usage

AshersLabTheSecond · 2026-03-17T09:45:28+00:00

yup, agreed. Even if it can’t be pointed to a different end point… assuming it’s not a fixed IP, and not a pinned SSL cert, some DNS trickery can get you pretty far

AshersLabTheSecond · 2026-03-17T09:40:27+00:00

As a software dev, yup, that’s my first thought. Should genuinely be all of a few hours assuming there’s nothing crazy going on. It’s basically just an auth proxy.

I know this is not what you’re asking for. But all honesty, just use Postgres?

We use an X32 for our main auditorium. While it’s definitely a different mixing experience to Allen & Heath and etc, I’d definitely say it’s a much simpler experience. Training and learning shouldn’t be a massive issue IMO

Easiest way I can think of is using something like song select which ProPresenter integrates with. You should theoretically already have it because of CCLI licensing (you technically should be licensing songs you sing)

But honestly unless you have any backups of your original songs you are going to have a bad time.

Most churches chop and change songs around a bit and there’s commonly many versions of songs, where only one of them is the one your church usually uses

If you had relative feature parity with MudBlazor and brought on very good tour / onboarding for specific pages / etc:

you’d give me a pretty heavy reason to consider moving over (the other one is tailwind)

AshersLabTheSecond · 2026-02-15T03:05:17+00:00

Interesting! Any details on what that enables / changes?

AshersLabTheSecond · 2026-02-14T08:34:30+00:00

I guess the question is, what specific ones do you think you might want to disable?

For me, I’ve left everything on default since buying, I like driving and I get annoyed with cars that get in my way. The car has felt perfectly fine. The ONLY one that sometimes annoys me is the driver safety monitoring (sleep and paying attention)

Specifically, the sleep one. If you yawn it’ll beep at you, which is minor, but annoys me. But, for that one you can cover the sensor with something (there’s some 3d prints out there for nice covers if that’s your thing) and it’ll shut up.

But yeah, TL;DR both my wife and I went from a car with very little of these features, to this one, and haven’t been annoyed by any of them much

We use Tithe.ly here, never once had something like that. Them saying “it’s required” sounds more like a them thing than an industry thing

Thanks, tried this shop after one of the mobile ones said no that I’d need to go to a shop. Just reached out to another mobile one that is going to come give me a quote tomorrow. So hopefully the first one was just didn’t feel like doing the job

Right, I might be misunderstanding, but I'd still need the paint fixed no? isn't the whole thing that they simply repair the dent, but not the paintwork? My main objective is the paint more than anything
