@Gargron
Hah!

ITS ALWAYS DNS

@Gargron hey at least you didn’t pull an Elon

@Gargron That’s it — I’m docking your pay.

@Gargron I was wondering what happened!

@Gargron dont worry.... sometimes sh.. happens. 👍

@Gargron

@Gargron

Don't sweat it. Keep on keepin' on.

@Gargron 💚

@Gargron

@Gargron
It is not a real problem as long as you fix it in a reliable time
Thanx for your attention and reaction

@Gargron Haha, cute 🥰 At least you know what you’re doing. Keep up the good work and thank you for what you’re doing for the community 🙏🏻

@Gargron at this point I would have replied with the frame of Father Dougal being drawn to the red button marked Do Not Push. But….

@Gargron - Hilft es denn auch, sich mal mit einer viel zu großen Instanz beschäftigen zu müssen und Erfahrungen zu sammeln, oder ist es deine klare Empfehlung, sich so schnell als möglich andere Instanzen zu suchen? Ich würde mich über eine Empfehlung freuen.

@Gargron It was either dns or yaml. :)

@Gargron how long is ttl?

@Gargron Back to Twitter we go

@Gargron I love this. You now have a huge network, but despite that are honest about the mistake. It'll be fine, we can wait

@Gargron Thanks for your work

@Muschelschloss deshalb sind die Bilder kaputt :/

@Gargron Appreciate the honesty. I'm sure you'll get it sorted soon enough. No big deal.

@Gargron We really appreciate your efforts, you are a role model for many other fediverse developers and I hope you can take a lil vacation or break soon because you def deserve it! ❤️

@Gargron not sure what you're saying here but me thinks #dopamine levels will drop to a healthy level today without visuals
#sobersunday #novisuals #introduction #caturday #neuroscience

@Gargron don’t sweat it! We all make mistakes. They who never make mistakes never achieve anything 👍🏻

Let me know if you need a hand that has 15+years of experience in that stuff.

@Gargron

@Gargron

@Gargron This is karma telling you to bring back TOOT. mwhahahaha, but seriously bring back TOOT

@Gargron HugOps 🤗 and thanks for fixing this!

p.s: any chance you can enable the "custom" amount on your Patreon page (or at least the 1€ tier) ?

Thanks 🙌

@Gargron sending all my moral support!

@Gargron Thanks for working on a Sunday. We’ll manage. Now go and enjoy the rest of the weekend. 😉

@Gargron thnx for giving this update; we'll just have to wait, and that's ok

@Gargron no worries!

@Gargron #devops be like

@Gargron No worries. These things happen. Thanks for everything you're doing!

@Gargron no problem, and thanks for all your hard work.

@Gargron I remain grateful for the stellar improvement the CDN has provided to image loading. Night and day improvement here in Australia.

Happy to wait out the bumps 🙏

@Gargron Hey I still appreciate all the work you're doing! Devops ain't easy.

@Gargron What will the shareholders say about it?!? :welp:

@Gargron no problem! I noticed it this morning and just thought ‘that’s just growing pains, glad to be here to witness the journey’.

@Gargron Anyone using the official App for #iOS or #iPadOS still seeing some of the after effects of this, try force closing the App and reopening it. That fixed the displaying of GIFs for me, for example #MastodonSocial #DNS

@Gargron we will survive, thank you for work

@Gargron It’s coming back up now. Thanks

@Gargron #HugOps

@Gargron

I think some wise men and women said: It's always DNS.

In my little RPi4 PiHole and here.

@Gargron at least you didn't blame someone else like a billionaire #kudos

@Gargron Muss dir nicht leid tun, Eugen. Wir wissen du tust dein Bestes. Danke dafür und hab nen schönen Sonntag.

@Gargron Looks fine to me (currently a bit slow, but that will probably be fine)

@Gargron If you're ever unsure why something isn't working, remember it's almost always DNS, 😋

@Gargron don't worry, shit happens

@Gargron At least that explained the blurred photos... and they're back again... thanks!! 🔥

@Gargron Don't worry! But you should support that all the thousands of other servers get users on it. Some are waiting for weeks to get users and have quite a few free resources!

@Gargron it's always DNS

@Gargron Only people who do nothing don‘t make mistakes

@Gargron it happens, even to the best of us. Are you hosting with Route53 and Cloudfront? Or an alternative?

@Gargron Chill, it's all cool!

@Gargron lmao, I'm kinda thinking boy genius Musk is going to destroy Twitter since he doesn't know how to run a company anywhere but in the ground unless someone fixes it for him. So I find this Mastodon app and decide to check it out and see if it's an alternative right?
Well, this is the first post I find and have to admit, the response to a problem and the reactions to your post kinda gives me hope that there's actually a decent replacement for Twitter. Maybe even an upgrade!
Anywho, tx! 👍

@Gargron
Oh so it wasn't just me. Thanks

@Gargron We're chill. 😎 Thx for everything. It's been an epic few months for you. All your efforts are appreciated.

@Gargron You're doing an amazing work!

@Gargron all good Eugen, keep up the good work!

@Gargron all good. You all have alot on your hands right now with the influx of #TwitterRefugees

@Gargron it's always DNS

@Gargron that’s it, go sit in the naughty corner 🤣🫡

@Gargron Don't worry, you're doing amazing considering so many of us suddenly flocked/stampeded this way all at once.

@Gargron thank you! I imagine it’s been a busy week.

@Gargron You, sir, are an exemplary Admin. 👍

@Gargron I had to look up CDN. It’s Content Distribution Network.

I knew DNS, but for those who do not, it’s Domain Name System.

@Gargron Admitting errors - refreshing!

@Gargron #devoops

@Gargron shit happens. Move on. what's next

@Gargron it happens! Thanks for the transparency and update!

@Gargron no problem. You do a great job. And mistakes happen.

@Gargron What CDN are your using or plan to use? AWS? Google Cloud? Defeats the purpose of ‘decentralization’, don’t you think? You want to get away from the clutches of Big Tech by running your own instance but you’re ultimately relying on AWS or Google Cloud and are using their services.
Correct me if that’s a wrong way of thinking 🙂

@Gargron All is well that resolves well. Now I am able to see the images. I thought it was more related to the workload on servers with a new wave of users.

@Gargron yet again it's always DNS

@Gargron
No worries, and thanks for the update.

@Gargron Team spirit 💪🏿

@Gargron
The „L“ in „TTL“ is for „Love“.
Sending hugs :-)

@Gargron #hugops

@Gargron @Demigiant Seems like a DNS issue. You didn't break the Mastodon 😁

@Gargron DNS changes are annoyingly difficult to get perfectly right first time - every time. You have my sympathy!!

@Gargron No problem, it's fixed in 2 hours.
Good job.

@Gargron DNS stands for Devil'n'Satan. It's evil. Every networking issue ever is caused by DNS.

@Gargron shit happens. Thank you for the alternative to Twitter!

@Gargron thank you for the update and keeping this instance going.
Despite the huge new accounts it's still working well.

@Gargron it happens. You are doing a great job here x

@Gargron DNS, it’s always DNS

@Gargron Thanks for letting us know. I was having difficulty uploading an image in my profile.

@Gargron it’s okay it happens.

@Gargron This was easier to sign up than a lot are saying.

Are is no one seeing me or my tweet errrrrr my thing. What do you call posts here? Oh. Posts? Srsly?

@Gargron Is this also the reason why gifs are not displayed correctly?

@Gargron So what you're saying is it's you not me?

Thank goodness for that, I thought I'd broken something on my side!

@Gargron
No sweat Gargron, you can be good but never perfect. 2 million new users is very good in my book.

Is the CDN similar to Cloudflare in blocking attacks or what does the CDN do?

@Gargron Shit happens. Thanks for letting us know!

@Gargron Glad to be following you on this Mastodon 😇🥳👋💚

@Gargron keep your ttl at 300 !

@Gargron don’t worry it’s Sunday there are lot’s of other things to do besides hanging out on SOME.

@Gargron See, it's always DNS. 😬 Don't be afraid to use ridiculously low TTL values when you feel the situation might be unstable.

@Gargron No stress Eugen and this is how you get more people onto your platform, by letting the users know what is going on. Not like other platforms that leave you in the dark.
