mastodon.social has once again caught up with real-time. I haven't received the new machine for the database yet (seems like the technical issues unfortunately overlapped with some bank holidays; hopefully tomorrow) but I managed to find a way to optimize some code that seems to have helped. Thank you for being patient, and again, I'm really sorry you couldn't experience Mastodon at its best the past few days on here.

@Gargron 💪

Hope you get some sleep.

@Gargron It would be a wild understatement to say that we all appreciate the hard work you put into keeping this place humming.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

@Gargron May I remind you of that other network, and the propensity of the "Fail Whale" in it's early ... and adolescent days?

You're doing fine Eugen. You're doing fine.

@Gargron thank you for your continued efforts!
@Gargron thanks so much for keeping things running! Please do have a good rest!!
@Gargron You are amazing! Thank you for all you do! 💖🙏
@Gargron You're awesome! 🙌 Thanks for everything you do!
@Gargron No worries. Thank you!
@Gargron Thank you for this and for all you're doing here
@Gargron thank you Euegen. Efforts are much appreciated!
@Gargron You have worked wonders. I just assumed that you got the new machine; that you figured out another solution is astonishing. Thank you again for your dedication. It is evident, and makes it easy to be patient.
@Gargron Thank you so much for all your hard work getting things back to normal!
@Gargron thank you! Hope the improved funding will get to you soon too!
@Gargron you are doing great work, no apologies are ever needed. I joined on the lower tier on Patreon sorry that it couldn't be higher
@Gargron thank you so much for your amazing work.
@Gargron Thank you 🤍
Have some rest too!
@Gargron keep up the great work!

@Gargron No, thank *you* for your hard work. I've noticed a lot of interest from Belgian twitter peeps lately, and all thoss extra users probably put a lot of strain on your system.

Keep up the good work, and watch your health. We can wait and be patient.

@Gargron Thank you for everything. You’re doing great!
@Gargron works way better now, fantastic work - thank you!
@Gargron I notice it suddenly got way quicker, well done
@Gargron São os novos usuários. 😂
@Gargron alles gut 🤗 ... das wird schon wieder... wenn meine infos stimmen hast du/ihr ~50k neuen accounts pro Tag zur zeit zu stemmen...
also Kopf hoch❗
wir wissen es alle zu schätzen, wie du/ihr euch für uns den A**** aufreisst damit der Laden hier lüppt... Du/ihr macht hier einen verd***t guten Job
@Gargron have been able to tell the difference
@Gargron nothing quite like optimizing code after you've seen how it performs under real world loads.
@Gargron
Thank you, Eugen.
(Don’t be too hard yourself.)
@Gargron mastodon not at its best is still better than "some other sites" at their best. ♥️
@Gargron Don't sweat it. Just happy you didn't die of exhaustion.
@Gargron Understandable! Thanks and all the best 🌠🌠

@Gargron Kia ora from Aotearoa NZ. I don't believe you have any need to apologize to us all for invading your space in some crazy run for the hills kind of stampede, but appreciate you doing so.

It doesn't hurt any of us to have some patience and understanding in this life and you have been doing more than the best you can, as you have just demonstrated. So a huge shout out to you, as an amazing human being for providing us this safe place to connect with each other. Kia kaha (stay/be strong).

@Gargron very appreciative of your work to keep things up and running. I trust all will be well in good time. ♥️

@Gargron these stress tests are horrible for you I am sure, but it always amazes me how you have been able to improve the site under those conditions. The new hardware will get provisioned I. Time, but these improvements will also be a benefit going forward.

Thank you for all your hard work.

@Gargron this has been seriously impressive: you're a bunch of teams rolled up into a single person! Please take care of yourself!
@Gargron Thank you and the Mastodon long-timers for your patience in dealing with the entire world showing up all at once.
@Gargron thank you so much for all you do.
@Gargron Incredible work, thank you!
@Gargron Einfach Danke! Ich fühle mich hier richtig wohl und bin noch nicht mal eine Woche hier. Und auch die halbe #Java bubble ist schon hier. 💚
@Gargron it's alright, the influx of traffic was expected when Mastodon got more attention recently 
@Gargron We really appreciate all the work you've been putting into keeping this place going! Take some well-deserved rest for now!
@Gargron Thanks for all the hard work 🙇‍♂️
@Gargron Thank you for your efforts!
@Gargron Thank you for your hard work. Even when it's not at it's best, Mastodon is simply wonderful.
@Gargron Thanks for all your work, it is amazing! - Übrigens: Man kann wohl auch nicht derzeit Mastodon über Pattreon unterstützen. Meine Zahlung kam zurück.
@Gargron Thank you for all of your hard work!
@Gargron Danke dir 🤩, hoffe du kannst ausreichend Schlaf nachholen und hast meine Jammerei wegen Overloadprobs nicht so streng gesehen.

@Gargron
Eugen, ich denke alle, die dir die Tür spontan und in kurzer Zeit eingetreten haben, sind so freundlich und nehmen Rücksicht und haben auch noch ein paar Tage länger Geduld.

Ich kann sagen, dass die Programmoptimierung bereits Wirkung gezeigt hat.

Wir sind dankbar, dass wir so schnell eine neue Heimat finden konnten. Ich bin so frei und spreche für uns Neuankömmlinge.

🙏

@Gargron Thanks for all you're doing!

I imagine it's been an exhausting week, but super impressed with Mastodon and glad to join the herd here at mastodon.social
