Cloudflare should have caught that!

dixf

@vruz @molly0xfff For that, cloudflare would need to be set up to cache pages. By default it's only CSS, js, images, things like that. Everything else passes through to the server.

vruz

@dixf I'm sure that this is trivial, and it's already being dealt with by @molly0xfff 's more than capable hands.

@molly0xfff Works from here. Thank you for moving!

@molly0xfff The sub-confirmation link is currently not working with a 500 error πŸ˜† I'll wait a bit again to sub. It's a good problem to have Molly!

Alice :amaze:

@molly0xfff It works for me, and yay to self-hosting!! πŸ₯³

@molly0xfff Works - will you continue generating audio/podcast versions going forward? I was surprised, even as a heavy podcast user, how much I appreciated hearing your delivery of the same excellent content. The guy who trained me as a telemarketer was right: you can hear when people are smiling!

Molly White

@jemal I will be! I didn't for this one because it's kind of a technical one-off, but for my usual work I will.

@molly0xfff seems like the host is down according to cloudflares proxy page? (Routing through Cloudflares Toronto site so perhaps config changes you did haven't propagated everywhere yet?)

christine

@molly0xfff I think it might be back down again, sorry. Getting a 502 right now on it

8 hops from where I'm sitting, the Stripe network needs to start thinking about #ipv6 ...

@molly0xfff tbh, just tooting causes a minor DDoS as the fedi servers spin up their toot card renders β€” with an account your size it’s probably a lot of traffic almost instantly.

Kevin Boyd

@kvnweb @molly0xfff is there a name for that yet? Tootdotting, perhaps?

Kevin Webb

@kboyd it needs one! Every time I share a link and I see the traffic graph I am like holy hell! And I only have 1/100th of the followers that @molly0xfff has...

"Temporarily Tooted Out" or TTO'd?

Kevin Webb

@kboyd @molly0xfff on the other hand, maybe we should just go back to using centralized infrastructure... :)

Kevin Boyd

@kvnweb @molly0xfff I think there's a middle ground, one that would allow multiple mastodon servers to efficiently and safely share these lookups.

Kevin Webb

@kboyd @molly0xfff I'm kidding, but yeah there are ways mastodon could improve this.

Tbh, the real pain point is for the folks administering larger servers -- I suspect they'll eventually sort this out given the resource requirements.

DELETED

@molly0xfff As other folks have mentioned, you'll need to look into a cache system for your site. Especially any endpoints you have that Fediverse servers access.

@ZacBelado i stuck cloudflare in front of it, but looks like i may need to look into something a little more.

DELETED

@molly0xfff When I was using Cloudflare I was often struck by how often it didn't seem to do what I thought it would :-)

What are you using as a backend?

DELETED

@molly0xfff Not something I am familiar with. I did see this page that has some specific settings for edge caching with Cloudflare.

esc.sh/blog/ghost-blog-caching

DELETED

@molly0xfff Seems pretty peppy now. Maybe Cloudflare caught up with you?

Molly White

@ZacBelado made some caching tweaks on my end too :)

DELETED

@molly0xfff Yay! Caching was the one part of running a website that I really disliked.
