Dear friends of #BSDCafe and #Fediverse, pgbouncer is now up and running. You probably won't notice any changes as we didn't have performance issues related to the database, but this is a more suitable and efficient approach.
In recent days, I duplicated the jail containing Mastodon (the operational one) to support sidekiq and serve as a backup for the rest. For this reason, you shouldn't have noticed any disruptions because while I was making changes to the primary jail, BSD Cafe was still operational using the secondary one (on another host).
I'm seriously considering conducting an experiment and replicating this jail (along with the reverse proxy) on a different continent to speed up user access in that location. Currently, everything is in Europe (Helsinki), so I might replicate somewhere in the Americas.
I'm not sure if this would yield tangible benefits since the database, Redis, etc., would remain in Europe. Multimedia files are already on a CDN, so they are georeplicated.
