Als je een eigen server hebt (op deze server zijn 2 andere gebruikers) krijg je best een mooi inzicht in je eigen-post gedrag, door in de moderator interface te kijken.

I think I can confidently say the transition from failing #footiMac trying to handle too many tasks and especially the mastodon database, to a tag team between footiMac and the ten-year younger #newoldiMac running the db and redis process under Colima and docker is complete and successful.

It has been solid for 24 hours now. It’s responsive. It’s almost fast. 😂 even have elasticsearch reactivated.

And the best part: I learned more about docker and feel much more comfortable with it.

Yay

In the span of just a week I was left twice with Sidekiq not doing it's job, building up some serious queues and unprocessed events.

I still don't know what caused it, but I suspect that perhaps the DoS bug fixed in Mastodon 4.5.10 was the culprit.

Having now updated to version 4.5.11 it was also the excuse I needed to do some other performance tuning such as optimizing event workers and distributing the load across multiple workers for Sidekiq queues.

Additionally I made some changes to postgres tuning parameters to ensure a more appropriate configuration for the server it was running on; I had not done that before.

All in all, not necessarily downtime but the outcome was pretty much the same anyway.

TL;DR - Some unexpected "downtime" possibly due to a bug in Mastodon, upgraded to 4.5.11, tuned the db, tuned Sidekiq, we're back and kickin' again. I think.

Any one else having #Cloudflare timeout issues?

The file transfer from the VPS to the new server took longer than expected, and I ended up falling asleep - it was midnight, after all. My apologies for the extended downtime. Everything is back to normal now.

Bill C-34, the new Digital Safety Act / Safe Social Media Act.

If this passes, this will have sweeping repercussions for the Canadian fediverse.
