Eugen RochkoPictures and videos should now be loading fast again on mastodon.social. The load balancer was hitting the limits of its hardware too so I had to upgrade it #devops
myownpetard blue checkmark@Gargron thank you!!
Sal From Jersey@Gargron Thank you for your hard work!
J.R. Orci@Gargron The instance itself is still running slow for me.

Caspar C. Mierau@Gargron Do you, by any chance, have an overview of currently in use machine types and their roles? as a DevOp I am curious about the setup.
Dr. Simon Bunchuay-Peth@Gargron awsome thanks for letting us know!
@Gargron The website is slow.
Charles Gaba@Gargron Thank you! It actually seems like the entire mastodon.social server is pretty sluggish again today (I know you just upgraded it a few days ago, and I assume you're scrambling to beef up bandwidth/etc even more now). Beyond switching to a different instance or signing up for your patreon to help fund further upgrades (which I did the other day), is there anything else we can do?
DR. SURFERCHIC
Mark Allanson@Gargron @charlesgaba you can move your account away from mastodon.social to another federated instance 😁
@markallanson @Gargron “Beyond switching to a different instance”
@markallanson @Gargron My point is that the odds are that MOST of the instances are likely to be overwhelmed soon, and it’s a bit impractical for that many users to keep shifting around from one to another all the time. I’m asking if there are other things folks can do to reduce the load on the major servers *while upgrades are being done* or if moving elsewhere is the only feasible option.
Alex Akers@charlesgaba @Gargron Definitely, not sure if it's money better spent to support the Patreon or spend that to run my own instance.
GoatsLive@Gargron Thank you kind sir, for all your hard work!
Gö@Gargron T to the H to the N to the X
Nathan Nelson@Gargron Thank you!
Mr. Fred 🔥@Gargron eek what a ride. Good job!
witch-captain nakou ~@Gargron Thank you for your hard work, really appreciated. Do you start to see a limit for scaling mastodon in term of hardware usage vs user count or for now its still working (as long as hardware is available)?
RuffleMUTTHad to figure due to high traffic, expect some high donations in the coming months. Congrats on the site boost.
I feel this server base of a Twitter-like setup is perfect for mutuals to stay connected but also mingle with new faces

Thank you!
Thank you!
Mark Britten@Gargron If this carries on you might be upgrading again sooner rather than later! 😅
DJGummikuh@Gargron What Metric are you using to judge that? CPU load? measured reaction time?
Mieke🐞@Gargron
Thanks, again!! 💪🏼
Thanks, again!! 💪🏼
David Swords@Gargron What kind of user base size are you looking at on that server?
Plus, should it ever been automatically imposed, that no new users can sign up to a server after a certain threshold reached? To avoid a single server being too dominant?
Also, user accounts on servers, auto delete themselves after a time to free up space?
Ankita Garg@Gargron Big relief!!! But, I do feel the app takes its own sweet time to send notifications. Also, the loading time for posts is also pretty slow. The app even crashes.
Testing Code Here 🌻🐢@ankitagarg @Gargron the official app was just released and it's probably a rushed one. Try TwidereX for best experience.
Kévin Dunglas@Gargron thank you!
Dr Rena Maguire@Gargron Thank you for this safe place being created.
Stephen Judge 🇮🇪🇪🇺@Gargron Great, though I'm getting a Network Error failure on every toot I tap on in the web app, regardless of what instance it's on. It's a problem when I want to read a thread.
irwin@Gargron Do you foresee a day when Mastodon moves off Ruby to another language?
JACOMO@Gargron LA CARGA DE LAS IMÁGENES Y VIDEOS MEJORÓ MUCHO ... GRACIAS EUGEN ¡¡¡
👍👍👍
Claudio Cicali@Gargron thank you for your work!
David T
godclam 🔱@Gargron can we get embeds for links? I know you've got a ton on your table already, but just asking for a friend 😁
Stephen Collins@Gargron the way things are going, pretty much every instance host will need their own rack somewhere. It's a problem, but it could be worse.
Luke Chadwick 🧑💻@Gargron I would migrate off to a less populous instance but it would be a bit sad to lose my early posts (granted they're mostly tiny anyway).
What's the technical limitation that stops them from being movable?

@Gargron thank you!!!
pluhmen@Gargron Good job! Many thanks, I really appreciate your standing for openness, your technical skills and your believe in humans freedom. Chapeau! ✊
Maarten den Braber@Gargron do you have a write-up or overview of your devops setup anywhere?

Raptor@Gargron I'm curious why this server isn't included in the list of servers on the joinmastodon.org site?
YurkshireLad@Raptornx01 @Gargron the join server might ping the instances to see who is alive, and if an instance is having performance issues, it may not reply. So it’s assumed to be down. Perhaps?
@YurkshireLad @Gargron just after posting this I saw another comment saying that registration for this server had been temporarily closed. Which i suppose is why.
Akitake@Raptornx01 @Gargron Because registrations are off on the instance to help with the influx of users.
Austen Puleston@Gargron Is there a patreon for the mastodon.social instance or some other way to contribute?
Alex Rock@Gargron What can we do as a community to help you? :)
Le Daron@Gargron thanks!
@Gargron Good work!

Shadowbottle@Gargron thank you!
christianjpinder@Gargron I'm new here liking the look and feel
Gimperita@Gargron I noticed. Thanks for your hard work!
Miimii's Pets@Gargron awesome
Dickie Adams@Gargron awesome. Keep up the great work.
