The results are in, after seeing about 800 boosts on the post to see how the Mastodon embed actually affects our server load. Here's what happened....basically nothing for us.

Image shows our server load slightly ramp up after the post on Mastodon that relied on the embed, but against other normal traffic is all looks pretty usual.

@gamingonlinux it's kinda funny that instead of hiring someone to submit a patch for their issue, #itsfoss decided to publish the article about their technical problems

The article reads superficial, like vague request for commercial proposal but for free lol

> #Mastodon instance admins, please fix our computer, or else we'll stop reposting to your social network

Folks, this is not journalism...

@gamingonlinux Thereโ€™s a lot missing here. How many CPU cores? Is this normalized load? What was the latency? Were there timeouts? Why are you looking at ~10 minute intervals when the reported problem is with spikes of ~1 minute? Very โ€œworks on my machineโ€ type post

@gamingonlinux Can't blame me, I only get surveyed in December of every year, and last I read, they intentionally don't survey the same device more than once a year.

@gamingonlinux As @jeffgerstmann mentioned in the podcast, people have discovered they made a whole game series based on the TV series. Shocking. ๐Ÿ™‚

@gamingonlinux

I love that on mastodon, people asking for boosts is not a thinly veiled attempt at manipulating the algorithm for more future engagement like it is on other platforms.

Because there is no such algorithm. I love it

@gamingonlinux
Yeah starting to think that the "DDoS issue" is less of a problem with Mastodon itself and more of a problem with the sites themselves

@gamingonlinux Yay! Finally another update that may completely wreck my OS ๐Ÿคช

Too bad I can't afford a new GPU, I'd switch to AMD in a single clock cycle ...
