Iβm glad to hear about the new users (I myself am one.) and the server upgrades!
I think lemmy.world suits me better than Beehaw. (great folks over there, no shade)
I like that lemmy.world letβs communities be openly created by users, as well as the inclusion of downvoting which I personally prefer.
Thank you.
Just curious, what sort of hardware is lemmy.world using/moving to? Wondering if there's a good way to predict load based on number of users.
Thankyou for everything!
Thanks for you work on this! What is the planned time for the outage?
Thanks for everything you're doing. I signed up for Patreon to contribute!
Nice!
Itd be cool to get donation flare!
You can! βοΈ or β . The Patreon page mentioned that you're officially allowed to edit your username to add flair when you donate. I upgraded to $8/month specifically so I could add the flair, but then got cold feet about the idea. π
I don't understand why a dedicated server is a good idea, when the only true way to scale is to use like Kubernetes or Docker and ECS Containers with scale?
Your just gonna run into more problems, you cannot vertically scale forever.
Thank you very much! π₯³
Just joined. Thank you so much for your effort!
More power! More power is good.
@ruud@lemmy.world DM me if you need help setting up monitoring/alerting on server health. IRL I'm on an SRE team, so happy to help where I can!
Great job!
That's my admin!
Anyone looking to host something big should check out bare metal hosting like Datapacket, Reliablesite, FDCServers, etc. Down side is total lack of handholding and other cloud features and the fact that you can't scale up without redeploying on a new box, but the upside is ridiculously cheap bandwidth. The bandwidth cost is by size of pipe, not gigabyte transferred, and pipes upwards of 10gbps are affordable.
OVH and Hetzner are also worth looking at but aren't quite as cheap bandwidth-wise.
With Hetzner Dedicated server the bandwidth is free
12k ??? That's crazy! It was only 500 when I joined 6 days ago, wow!
No worries for the downtime, when it's needed, it's needed :)
probably mostly due to the reddit situation. at least thats why im here now
May Reddit crash and burn. I'm part of the reddit exodus and the look of Lemmy is close to what I used to get in RedditIsFun (RiF). Going to take some getting used to but so far so good.
I'm not sure how its being done as far as the technical aspects but Ruud has done a great job as admin upgrading the servers to keep up and anticipating the flow of new users.
The same admin also has experience with a mastadon.world server that experienced lots of growth from Twitter users leaving over musk moves. So essentially we have a good admin as far as I can tell and it's not his first rodeo. Part of the reason I chose this server
I'm less concerned with the technical aspects and more curious about the long term.
Federated instances, such as lemmy.world, are operated by individuals; What happens if they decide to stop doing so without handing the server/data off to someone else? Do all of our accounts created here disappear? What do other users see if they click through my profile from a post on a different federated server? What happens to all of the content created on the server in question?
Would be awesome if you create some group chat (e.g. Discord?) and add sysadmins/devops to it. Would be more than happy to assist, especially if you have questions or need opinions.
I've been working as sre/sysadmin/devops for the past ~5 years and ~9 years of (Arch) Linux user. More than 1K Arch Wiki edits over that period of time.
Reddit is for Lemmy as Discord is for Spacebar (works with Discord) https://github.com/spacebarchat/spacebarchat
