Adam BlackConsidering spinning up an sgf.social mastodon instance. Anyone have receipts for costs running an instance with a few hundred users?

Eugen RochkoProbably not a lot of people know this now, but Mastodon's web app started out with "Publish". In 2016 a famous YouTuber jokingly offered to support Mastodon's Patreon forever if I changed the button to say "Toot" instead. Needless to say, this was a really early, and not very informed decision. The first glimpse of attention and financial support. As a non-native speaker I had no idea there was another meaning.

In his latest post, Emotional Speed Bumps, Ed Batista talks about the importance of raising your awareness of "low-level" emotions as a leader. Doing so allows you to take control of priorities that you may not feel like addressing by structuring your time.
Developing a mindfulness practice and consistently getting ample sleep have both had a outsized impact on my ability to recognize and respond to "low-level" feelings about work.

Experimenting with standing up a Mastodon server for the better part of this afternoon has deepened my respect and appreciation for the folks running servers out there. These are complicated systems and they’re not cheap to operate.
If your server accepts donations, and you have some room in your budget, think about chipping in to help cover server costs. Building a better internet is expensive.
New Mastodon instance is up! Ran into a few issues setting it up with docker-compose, but managed to work out all the kinks. Having an instance closer to home will make a huge difference when it comes to performance.
It's been a while since I setup a new service in AWS. Let's see how long it takes me to stand up a Mastodon instance.

The new https://fedidb.org redesign will be rolling out in the next few days. #fediDB
Today’s half-day #meditation retreat was really great. I learned a few new #mindfulness techniques, and the virtual format worked surprisingly well. 10/10 would retreat again. 😌
I’m attending my first virtual #meditation retreat today. It’s called PAUSE and its coordinated through the #WakingUp app. This will be the first time I sit for several hours rather than minutes. I’m excited! 🧘♂️
