 Currently Masto.host is experiencing the highest volume of traffic that has ever reached the infrastructure. The service is partially degraded and I will be doing fast upgrades on the platform. These can lead to partial downtime, errors and large delays in support requests. Really sorry. Doing the best I can on my end. Hope you understand. Thanks.  @mastohost you are doing an INCREDIBLE job and it's amazing things are holding up this well    @mastohost good luck and hopefully no issues! thanks for your service, you have been doing a great job all these years! ๐  @mastohost Good luck! #Mastodon - and of course masto.host - is finally getting the #attention it deserved for so long.   @mastohost hey, we really appreciate what you do for us and this corner of the internet. Take your time, breathe in and out, rest as much as you need and prioritise yourself. รnimo!! โค๏ธ  @mastohost I suspected that's what's happening and told my instance; they're calm and patient! @mastohost Fantastic work in unprecedented circumstances. Thank you! @mastohost don't worry, take your time mostly everyone is able to understand the situation :blobCatFlower: @mastohost YOU GOT THIS...and we totally understand. Unlike hidden parasitic cosrs on other platforms, you're telling us in realtime. Go Hugo :) @mastohost, let us know if we can help with something. I'm honestly looking to get away from the five-nines mentality demanded by "ad-tech" companies. Scheduled down time sounds like a good option to me. I was thinking of searching for a standard/proposal that uses to DNS records (or DHT) to publish a schedule and a way to throttle requests by kindly asking servers to be good netizens, but that's a lot of work I don't want to do. @mastohost Very few people predicted the Fediverse would grow this large, this quickly. I completely understand. Thanks for being my host. @mastohost i am new here and really appreciate everything you're doing to keep the service running.  @mastohost hugops, as they say. you're doing great. when the dust settles a bit, i'm happy to up my subscription tier if that'll help with costs. @mastohost@mastodon.social #hugops to you and anyone else in a similar position, we appreciate what you are doing for the fediverse at large ๐ @mastohost I really appreciate all the work you've put into running Mastodon servers, for so many different communities! Thanks for the transparency, as well. Scaling is tough! @mastohost Thanks for your work and don't worry. When the madness subsides, we will still be here! Smaller instances can hopefully help distribute the load. I started one this week specifically for musicians: https://musicians.today  @mastohost as admin of one of the instances you host, I appreciate the service you provide and understand that this is an unusually tricky moment. FWIW this instance has upgraded service two or three times since founding - weโve been pretty happy with what weโve experienced so far. ๐  @mastohost Only to be expected with the massive influx. Take your time and we will still be here when its done. @mastohost Not entirely sure I know what all that means but sounds like a lot of work for you! So thank you. ๐ @mastohost I appreciate what you are doing! I prefer slowdowns over having all of my data siphoned and sold on #twitter. @mastohost Thank you for all your hard work. I know it's going to be a rough patch, but I'm very glad to know you're working on it! @mastohost thank you for all the hard work!!  @mastohost we do! Good luck with everything. This is a GOOD growing pain. Thanks for all you do and providing this service. @mastohost you are amazing. All your hard work is appreciated so much. Thank you x  @mastohost thanking myself everyday that I chose you to do this instead of having learn myself :-) keep up the good work   @mastohost - I really appreciate your efforts. (I am one of those new people making so much extra work for you.)   @mastohost You're doing amazing work. You're achieving incredible uptime despite record breaking load & an upgrade to v4.0! ๐ ๐ ๐  @mastohost Should I stop tooting? :) (Thanks for the update Hugo + please remember to breathe and donโt wear yourself out.) ๐  @aral @mastohost Well done Hugo! Keep up your good work!
(I'm guessing this is because Twitter have locked all their staff out of the building til Monday? [apparently])  @mastohost You're doing a great job, mate! Nothing at all to be sorry for, in my view. Thank you very much for the work you're putting in from us at GK. Considering the strain everything is under it's a wonder we're all still up and running, and a testament to the work you're doing @mastohost @mastohost Thanks for the hard work and good luck! I've appreciated the quality of the service so far, it saves me doing it all :)   @mastohost Not only do we understand, we applaud you. You have been doing amazing work, Hugo. And I really truly appreciate the opportunity you have given us. Thank you. ๐ @mastohost as a fellow infrastructure technologist, you have my deepest sympathy in this thundering herd situation. cheering you on ๐๐ป @mastohost I would be first to sign on if you needed to raise your fees. Masto.host is rock solid and always my first recommendation for anyone who wants Mastodon hosting. :jrbd:   @mastohost There's definitely a pattern of stronger and stronger spikes every friday (weekend) since Oct 27. :) @mastohost if itโs something you can share, it would be amazing to see any graphs of the traffic ramping up. A few of the larger instances have shared similar, and it really puts in context what an amazing job theyโre doing coping with the influx. โฌ๏ธ โฌ๏ธ โฌ๏ธ โฌ๏ธ โฌ๏ธ โฌ๏ธ โฌ๏ธ โฌ๏ธ โฌ๏ธ @alxsim FWIW things are still a lot more functional than mastodon.social was when I first jumped on immediately after Elon closed the deal @jby Yes but definitely feeling slugish. We are currently using all 25 threads allocated to us for the queued jobs, which never happened before. We definitely are growing. I'll keep an eye out and upgrade our tier if necessary. @eringiglio @alxsim There's crowdfunding set up! Though I don't know how well that's been keeping up with increasing need https://opencollective.com/ecoevosocial @eringiglio @jby @alxsim @jby man, one of the things I really love about EEB and have been utterly baffled about as I move into neuroscience space is our professional societies. They're so much less of a presence for my colleagues in neuroscience and I think that's a crying shame. Fingers crossed for a Server Of Our Own sort of situation: a professional network owned and curated by the scientists it serves is definitely infinitely better than a for profit version, just like with journals. @mastohost Thank you, as a new arrival from tโother place I appreciate the work a sudden influx must have created. @mastohost You are doing an amazing service and a great job. Keep up the great work, and ignore the haters.  @mastohost thank you for trying your best, it's not your fault The Other Place is rapidly becoming a wasteland. You're doing amazing, sweetie. @mastohost Good luck and thanks for the hard work. This has got to be a challenge for the team to have so much influx all at once. @mastohost The number of I's in that last paragraph really driving home how much is going into running your service. Thanks for all you're doing! @mastohost Goodmornig! |
