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

@Gargron
It's always DNS! :)

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

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

@Gargron its okay

@Gargron Not a problem! Maybe people could even use pixelfed's cdn to take some strain off their servers.

@Gargron Nothing to sorry about, by the contrary, thank you so much for creating this fediverse !!! :blobmiou: :blobpats:

@Gargron It happens and it’s always the DNS. Thanks for all your work!

@Gargron

@Gargron it’s always DNS 😅

@Gargron so beautiful to see this kind of message! keep the great work you’re all doing. ❤️

@Gargron First of all - thank you for all your work and this great platform - The past 3 days my video per day does not work - Maybe it's something smaller to fix Or the video is not restricted for some reason?

@Gargron Eugen, you must be under a lot of pressure just now with all the new Mastodon users. Just wanted to express my appreciation for all the hard work you are doing. Great job.

@Gargron thanks for the update and thanks for all you do! You're a rock star!

@Gargron I’m following people but then later find it says “pending” or that I’m no longer following so then have to re follow. It’s getting tedious. Also the number of followers/following on my profile doesn’t tally??

@Gargron heh. Facebook did that. CloudFlare did that. Google did that.

To your credit, you said "it's DNS".

@Gargron I don’t know what any of that means but just know, I forgive you 🤪

@Gargron I'm sending a #HugOps

@Gargron Don't worry! Keep on keepin' on!

@Gargron Stuff breaks. Deep breaths. 👊🏻

@Gargron been there

@Gargron In dem Fall schreibt man das #devoops

@Gargron Shit happens, keep up the good work!

@Gargron By #devops do you mean development in ops? 🤩

@Gargron DNS defeats the best of us. Thanks for letting us know! #hugops

@Gargron

@Gargron Thanks for your efforts. Please don’t worry about it. You are doing your best.

@Gargron really refreshing to be new from Twitter and actually be able to witness some acknowledgment and accountability… I mean: 🤯

@Gargron new apps mean new problems, no worries !

@Gargron quite frankly I’m just touched you do updates and then apologize for something being an inconvenience . I don’t really understand what happened, but **waits patiently for the fix**

@Gargron Mastodon needs a grant or subsidy from the @EU_Commission via European Data Protection Supervisor in order to maintain Europe's digital sovereingty.

Obviously, under the European Court of Auditors'.

Instead:

Why not an EU Signal Foundation (private) in partnership with [US] Signal Foundation (private)?

@Gargron It's always DNS!

@Gargron I’m new here and kind of love that this is how the site works. No worries, mate!

@Gargron @Kclemson has stickers saying this :) @crichardson

@Gargron

@Gargron it’s always DNS

@Gargron thanks for fixing it :)

@Gargron one of my favourite things is to blame dns. Because it’s usually dns. Keep up your great work in these things.

@Gargron keep it up man 💪, you're doing a great job!

@Gargron Ah, that explains the issues I was seeing. Pesky DNS!

@Gargron Aw, that sucks, glad to see you trying your best to fix it though!

@Gargron That may explain the missing video I saw with @Cheeseness post. I didn't report it though.

@Gargron 🫂👏🏼

@Gargron Sending #hugops - this stuff is hard

@Gargron #hugops

@Gargron as always, shouldiblamedns.com is accurate

@Gargron

Keep working.. You have a real good thing here.

@gargron Concerning DNSo(o)ps, my pain-induced lesson is: Step 1 of every DNS change is to reduce the TTL of the record to be changed.

@Gargron do not worry, all of us make mistakes and thanks 🙏 for your work.

@Gargron shit happens a short TTL means that the problem is solved faster.

@Gargron I love how it's always DNS

@Gargron don't worry dude. It only happens to people who do something :)

@Gargron #hugops

@Gargron no worries, we feel like having refuge and being welcome!🌷

@Gargron its ok you are doing the best your can to make mastodon the best place it can be and for that I thank you.

@Gargron have you considered approaching EU funding bodies to finance the Fediverse? The EU is good at maintaining public goods like the environment and user privacy, perhaps it should maintain the public conversation. cc @vbuterin

@Gargron I hope you're enjoying the glorious hit-rates I can see from the outside today! #caching

I spent a good 15 minutes trying to come up with a snarky #devops backronym for DNS - my best was

Deeply
Needlessly
Sucks

Can you do better, Fediverse?

@Gargron Any chance you can add your new CloudFlare config knowledge to the Mastodon docs to help other admins?
