The CDN wasn't working right, but my attempts to fix it were unsuccessful. I made a configuration mistake involving DNS, which unfortunately means that images are broken until DNS updates everywhere. I am very sorry about this #devops

@Gargron Are videos broken too? I just tried uploading one and it's not playing.

Slaanesh

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

Joshua Lander

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

stoamandl

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

𝘾-rich

@Gargron

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

Defizit oder Eugen Brochier

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

Chrissie Sternschnuppe

@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 🙏🏻

Hifilarry

@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….

Ronan

@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

Matthew Rodier

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

dansup

@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! ❤️

Yvette van Eechoud

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

@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.

MonkeyTacoBreath

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

Andrea Grandi 🦕

@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 🙌

bogenschlag

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

Reino

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

Ben Evans

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

Chris Hughes

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

Ollie Boermans

@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 🙏

Deanosim

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

Nico :pensive_party_blob:

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

Bart Veldhuizen 🚀

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

Paul Douglas

@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

Manuel *hunting Eudaimonia*

@Gargron

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

In my little RPi4 PiHole and here.

Pedro Silva

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

🕊️Peaceful☕Skyred🌇

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

Oliver Kamer

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

Marcus

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

lesighlepurr

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

FranzP19

@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!

zulu 🇨🇭

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

Matthew

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

DocHouse

@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! 👍

DELETED

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

Alex Wolff 🏳️‍🌈

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

Eva Amsen

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

woolfhound

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

Phil Kalina

@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.

pierre

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

Lance a Lot

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

NorthEastOne

@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 🙂

John Samuel

@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.

rolandog

@Gargron
No worries, and thanks for the update.

chris@strafpla.net

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

Nicholas Mamo

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

Henry Strick

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

ParadisFraise

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

RealAndyShark

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

Frederik Søndergaard

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

codetholdory :mastodon:

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

Carol Hedges

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

Iris Richard

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

Who R.You

@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?

YayForThat

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

𝖆𝔫𝔡𝔯𝔢𝔴 :enby_rebel:

@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!

Metro

@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?

halubch :mastodon: :coolified:

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

Jesper Musaeus

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

Martin Schmitt

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

maT

@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.

Jeff Sonstein

@Gargron thanks for working so damned hard on keeping this community going 🙏

Philip Ives 🖖

@Gargron You are doing your best. Everyone is happy here.

void_ptr

@Gargron I'd share a picture of tater tots and fresh pears, but images are broken.

Christian

@Gargron Kopf hoch, und vielen Dank für die Energie, die ihr in Mastodon steckt. 😃
