@adb I hope it's working well for you so far!
There's a pinned issue in the repo to discuss any changes you'd like to see!
Our commitment to the fediverse is here to stay.
Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.
We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.
Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger #DigitalEU.
This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!
@grishka @[email protected] @renchap There was a very brief outage on the push server yesterday at around 16:00 CET during an upgrade (and a misunderstanding of Exoscale load balancers) but was only for about 10 minutes.
Push servers are currently working as far as I can see.
We just updated the database servers powering mastodon.social:
Before: Intel W-2295 (18 cores), 128 GB RAM, standard SSDs
After: AMD EPYC 7502P (36 cores), 256 GB RAM, Datacenter-grade NVMe
mastodon.online also got new hardware yesterday (from 6 to 24 core, and with a replica now).
This should help with the growth and any future spike in activity!
Thanks @timetinytim for setting all of this up and handling the migration 💪
