I cant speak to Gargron's setup but I think most setups would be able to handle 3400 RPM on the outbox without even batting an eye.

Also by that logic if too many people start using mastodon clients on their phone or desktop then that is a DDoS since enough of them are distributed and would lead to resource depletion.

@tek @freemo @rysiek @mkljczk @xorowl @jimpjorps Sorry, that's one zero too many from me. 400 req/s. Corrected.

@tek

then I misread it, that is on the high side.. though depends how many users were doing it. I would imagine mastodon clients in general produce more requests per second than that collectively but we wouldnt call those a DDoS... I dunno we are arguing semantics though, does it even matter what we call it?

@freemo @tek @rysiek @mkljczk @xorowl @jimpjorps For comparison, average mastodon.social traffic is 200 req/s. I don't think it matters what we call it though. In my view it's a denial-of-service when it impacts performance due to unintended use, though maybe you could expand that to intended use as well. While the individual endpoints are intended to be used, it is the frequency with which they are retrieved that is unintended.

Linus Tech Tips' latest video on water cooling an SSD is a good illustration of this. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean it was intended use.
