Mastodon v4.6.0 requires Ruby v3.3, but my version of Ubuntu (24.04) only has 3.2.3. Anyone have a good suggestion? Otherwise I guess I'll just wait a while.

If you're self-hosting or managing a dedicated server, moving from Apache/Nginx to OpenLiteSpeed can drastically reduce your RAM footprint during traffic spikes.

Unlike Apache's process-per-request model, OLS uses an event-driven architecture, comes with a server-level full-page cache (LSCache), and supports HTTP/3 out of the box.

The documentation is a major PITA, but I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of #NGINX My proxy server is handling a lot of different services across multiple upstreams, terminating and pre-reading SSL for different services, and now also running as a simple file server with http auth for transferring video files for a project to the editor.

Anyone have a book or reference guide that is more useful than the main NGINX docs?

Why do enterprise architectures prefer bare-metal in Singapore over public cloud nodes in other APAC regions? It comes down to physics and submarine cables. Singapore is the primary landing point for networks like APG and SJC, allowing direct, high-speed routing to Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines without bouncing through distant global nodes.
