@Gargron Top! 👍

@Gargron made a difference for me, thanks 🫂

@Gargron I feel the new speed right away :o Thank you!

@Gargron Awesome, thank you for the great work :)

@Gargron You're doing God's work here! Enjoy some downtime now.

@Gargron So far so good. Loads up instantly now.

@Gargron Everything feels snappy again.

@Gargron 🙌🏻

@Gargron Hold onto your ... 😅 cc: @ij - Hopefully you get more free time and more sleep, Eugen. 🙏🏻

@Gargron woo hoo! Many thanks for building this platform. I wish I understood how it works earlier! But as they say, better late than never!

@Gargron it's better now! Thank you!

@Gargron 😎

@Gargron much smoother now. 🙂

@Gargron Get some sleep! Great job.

@Gargron It already feels faster?

@Gargron Monstrous. (In any case, seriously considering setting up an instance for me and a small community to ease the load here.) #fediverse #federation

@Gargron beefy

@Gargron is it possible to donate to you personally for your time and work? Or for your server bill?

@Gargron Tens é de trazer mais gajas pra cá. Isto anda muito fraco em termos de gajas. E depois dá um jeito nas DMs, porque eu não quero ver pilas no feed, ok? Vá, um abraço e boa continuação.

@Gargron 👌 😍 👏
thanks for all the hard work. Maybe a dumb but does this run in the cloud? If so, what is the setup (curious) and if not, like to learn why not

@Gargron it was immediately noticeably faster. Good work!

@Gargron Also most DB engines really need a sh*t-ton of RAM. If the DB has to go to disk - even SSD - you’re in a world of pain. Biggest challenge is to balance RAM / CPU. Sometimes need to tweak OS VM paging parms as well. A good DB does its own paging, as these workloads differ greatly from regular processes.

@Gargron

Approaching lightspeed! 🤩

@Gargron I am noticing a vast improvement already. Thank you.

@Gargron 👍🏼😃

@Gargron

@Gargron thanks for your hard work!

@Gargron Thank You and all die other admins of the #fediverse, for all the Things you all do for FLOSS, decentralisation/federalisation and our resulting steady growing ability to get rid of dependencies from big business and the super rich, as well as governments and well funded power seeking special interest groups!
:mastodon: 💙

@Gargron Seems to be making a huge difference 🎉

@Gargron Awesome, so much quicker. Thank you so much!

@Gargron really speedy now!🎊🎶🎉

@Gargron Kudos that it survived without major crash!

@Gargron I assume it's active, 'cause everything feels really speedy again...

(Thanks so much for all you do - and, get some rest!)

@Gargron These requests are going through sooooo much faster! Thank you! 💯

@Gargron Nice, thank you very much. Feels noticeably faster 👌

@Gargron I very much hope, you can sleep now at least for a couple of hours.

Amazing engagement. Chappeau!

@Gargron thank you!
Was this maintenance the ground for the lags and slowness this day?

@Gargron It's notable faster. You are doing awesome work 👍 .

@Gargron great work! Thank you so much 😊

@Gargron well, was very slow, with continues time outs untill a little while ago.
suddenly very, very smooth! good job!

@Gargron really good now!

@Gargron Vielen Dank Eugen for your efforts. I'm sure it will be amazing.

@Gargron it's working 👌

@Gargron Big improvement. It feels really snappy. Thank you so much for your efforts.

@Gargron can you share the donate link?

@Gargron Thanks a lot! What is surprising to me is that it was working on just 8 cores before... Wow!

@Gargron Thanks :)

@Gargron

Now it runs better and faster.

Thank You!

@Gargron Oh my, the difference already 🚀

@Gargron Thank You Sir. Happy Wednesday from the Sunshine State. 🌞🍁

@Gargron Dankeschön Eugen! How can I support you?

@Gargron Definitely feels a *lot* faster! Thank you for all the hard work!

@Gargron Yes, it is much much better! And it was absolutely necessary. I almost quit because of it. Great step forwards. Thanks.

@Gargron Thank you 😊

Is there any way we can support you more directly than via https://www.patreon.com/mastodon ?

@Gargron what a difference! ⚡️your work is much appreciated 🙏 I hope your stress levels can go like 📉 now!

@Gargron This is awesome! Thanks for adjusting so quickly to the influx of users.

@Gargron What db engine does mastadon use?

@Gargron "Scale horizontally." I like the way you are, man.

@Gargron Thank you. Once you recover a bit let us know what can be done to help besides financial donations.

@Gargron So much smoother and snappier. Well done! 🙏

@Gargron yep. Can tell that it's better now!!

@Gargron thanks a lot Eugen it works great now. Great work!

@Gargron Thanks for all the hard work. In Mastodon we trust :Blobhaj:

@Gargron as soon as I saw this, the app became much more responsive. Thank you for what you do!!

@Gargron Big improvement in response times. Again, thanks for all your hard work in the past week. 🙏

@Gargron hey, what are you doing?

@Gargron with 36 cores I dare to upload some cat pics again 😺 thx!

@Gargron I'm new here but I love this project. It's not much but I hope it helps

@Gargron Already feels a lot more snappy, great! 🙂

@Gargron much much better! 🙏🏻

@Gargron Thank you!!

@Gargron thanks dude!

@Gargron this is some proper database processing power. Nicely done.

@Gargron Happy to hear the update has arrived!

Thanks for all the effort you have (and are) putting in. Thanks!

@Gargron thanks for your effort it’s working so much better already :)

@Gargron Thank you! I can tell the difference in my last post. ☺️

@Gargron congrats! It had been just 8 cores before and worked until some days ago well. Wow, impressive.

@Gargron You’re a hero❣️

@Gargron Thank you!

@Gargron Going faster right now. Thanks Eugen 😄

@Gargron doing excellent work 👍

@Gargron Thanks a lot!

@Gargron 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@Gargron thanks for your great work!!!

@Gargron it's good . Put an option to move to federal from community toots, and auto translate to mastodon App in Google play

@Gargron el .online también correrá con eso?

@Gargron that’s certainly… a jump.

@Gargron really feeling improvement when communicating from other instances. Great job !

@Gargron that’s exactly what I was going to advice :blobcatcool:

@Gargron Thank you.

@Gargron in my experience running databases, RAM can make an even bigger difference, or faster drives, depending on the database. Should look for telemetry were the blocks are.

@Gargron

Fingers crossed! I can also see that some people have moved to smaller instances (me included) to take away a bit of the load (at least that was my reason, can’t speak for others). You tripled your users in a mere four days, that’s a lot to take care of.

@Gargron I'm curious, what type of database do you guys use ? :)
