Hey all! Sorry for the surprise downtime. Cloudflare had a bit of a hiccup, but we're back!

I'm shopping around again for options to host masto.nyc outside my home. Right now, I'm considering:

Colocation Datacenters
Pros: We can host locally! And support NYC businesses. Much more affordable long term.
Cons: Still have to manage our own hardware.

Cloud
Pros: Easy to scale. Easy to maintain.
Cons: Difficult to find a local provider. Expensive.

In the meantime I'm looking for more concrete evidence of how much it would actually cost to migrate to cloud resources.

Right now? Looks like somewhere in the ballpark of ~10gigs of memory, and ~1.5 CPU units. I realize that sounds like a lot, but there's a fair amount of supporting infrastructure that is used too (HA apps, logging, replicated postgres, HA redis, etc).

Also, I'm a huge fan of Vultr (I use it for my portfolio site) but one of the challenges we face is trying to keep the provider in NYC. In do DigitalOcean is but.... they're pretty big and it wouldn't feel like supporting local >_<

It's remarkable how easy it is to make an actually usable programming language if you don't care at all about making it optimized and if you don't have a tree of complex syntax rules

@seano@masto.nyc avatar

@eniko in your opinion, what's an existing language that falls under "extreme levels of prioritizing usability over speed"

    @victor opting in. I can see how others would find issue with this but they are called public posts for a reason I suppose

    Mastodon v4.2.0 just dropped. The upgrade part is way more daunting than what I've seen in the past, so I'll see if I can perform it late night in the coming week or so. There's a lot of boxes to check to make sure it goes smoothly, but I'll let everyone know when it happens

    @admin

    At the very bottom there is an "Upgrade Notes" section. It talks about all the new external dependency versions and some instructions

    I always love seeing these tiny little stickers people put up of themselves to leave their own mark. Like, they literally thought "I'm going to let the world know I exist. Through chibi interpretations of me and various social media links"

    Love it. Go off 👑

    Hey everyone-

    I wrote up an apology/postmortem here on why masto.nyc was down the last 11 days:

    https://rentry.co/masto-nyc-postmortem

    I am so, so, so sorry this happened. I know I betrayed a lot of people's trust, and I am immediately prioritizing changes to prevent this from ever happening again. I can't put into words how bad I feel about this, and if you feel frustrated I definitely don't blame you.

    Happy to discuss or answer any questions you may have here. Thanks for your patience

    So following on from that research into why people aren't signing up to the fedi, yesterday I tried a little experiment to remove some of the biggest barriers and help people make the jump.

    People complain the process of signing up to mastodon is complicated, and it's hard to find the Good Posts.

    So I shared with people who wanted to join two things:

    1. An invite link to the server I'm on, to stop them having to choose.
    2. My follow list in csv format, to populate the tl with good posts.

    4.1.3 fixed the security holes, and 4.1.4 fixed the minor bugs that came with 4.1.3. You can read up on the deets here if you're interested:

    Dredd was such a quality movie. Karl Urban killed that role and the evolution of Olivia Thirlby's character from insecure to 'fuck this, i'll do it myself' was magic.

    In the coffee shop this morning, overheard undergrad baristas trading strategies to most efficiently see both halves of .

    On my way home, walked past a mixed-gender group of friends in same age cohort, all dressed in pink and looking amazing, rolling up to the AMC mantinee.

    People love this, don’t they. Including but not limited to young people. The thought occurred to me: This feels like “Snakes on a Plane", except the are actually good?!

    I haven’t seen either one yet!

    @jmac I saw both of them this last week. Between the two, I'd say go and watch Barbie twice. It was an experience unlike anything I've ever had.
