@jerry Just curious, what are the server specs running infosec.exchange? This instance runs beautifully compared to some of the others.

@mspsadmin @xDL it’s finally keeping up - we had a major period of growth since Thursday and it absorbed the load without an issue.

@jerry @mspsadmin Great job calling the growth. It's insane to think how much those boxes are getting slammed with all of the new people (including myself).

@xDL @mspsadmin that’s what they’re here for. I wanted people to have a decent landing spot. And I really didn’t want people’s first impression of the fediverse be skewed by bad performance.

@jerry @mspsadmin Definitely the right call. I used Diaspora back in the day and the particular instance I was using slowed to a crawl after a small set of users. I'm sure it was due to a tiny box hosted in someone's basement.

@jerry @mspsadmin @xDL lots of the fediverse seems to be suffering under the load of new arrivals. I’m impressed how well your stack is doing.

@mspsadmin @jerry @xDL Yes, I wonder why he needs such ? What's the minimum for Mastodon ?
Show threadJerry 🦙💝🦙Mar 10, 2023
@jindiggs @mspsadmin @xDL at the time, we had 20,000 simultaneous connections hammering the environment. Since then, it’s fallen considerably (3000 simultaneous or so) and the footprint is smaller now, though I am having to expand it a bit again because it’s starting to lag again

@jindiggs @mspsadmin @xDL also, the minimum for mastodon is pretty small - can be run on a raspberry pi for a single user instance
