Throughout my 14 years of building infrastructure on AWS I always thought people were foolish when they wanted to use some third-party for whatever. But now I'm a total convert. Go ahead and use MailGun instead of SES, CloudFlare instead of CloudFront, Planetscale instead of Aurora. The list goes on, there's so many services that are simply better than what AWS has to offer. And that's why Terraform is winning the IaC game.

@mdbraber @stux of course, did you not learn about time slicing in school?

@ruud @jerry you do realize AMD Epyc CPUs are made for HPC purposes, right? It’s complete and utter overkill for running Mastodon. I also don’t think having an instance with 120.000 people is particularly good for the network. More so when all these people are crammed into 1 server / a single point of failure. To each their own.

@ruud @jerry you’re blaming the unsuspecting people for your insane user count? Instead of closing registrations to protect the network? And you’re fine with cramming all these people on 1 server that can crash and burn at any given moment? I think you need to stop blaming others and not be too proud of what you’re doing here. But again, to each their own. I for one wouldn’t feel comfortable on your instance.

@ruud we’ve been optimizing the living shit out of it and we’re running at lower costs now than we did at 15k people. Also, we run on an autoscaling, self healing, event-driven architecture. No single points of failure here so way less of a risk. But thanks for asking.

I check my Mastodon TL way less often than I did my Twitter one because there’s nothing to get riled up about. Outrage is addicting and the likes of Twitter and Facebook capitalize on it.

Here’s a random cat with a heart on his face and chest. Lovely.

Looks like McDonald’s is spending a lot of ad money right now. Do people actually go to McDonald’s at Christmas time?

According to Google, IPv6 adoption in The Netherlands is at 8%. An embarrassment. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption

What do y’all use for domain registration? It needs to be cheap and it needs to support .nl domains. Google looks promising but I’ve been burnt by google shutting stuff down. Boost for reach?

Also deleted all social media off my phone. I've been finding out more about how my brain works over the past few weeks and months and I can't have these kinds of distractions on my devices. And I don't really miss anything by only being able to access Mastodon and Instagram on my computer. It's great.

The vaccination rate for infants in The Netherlands is now less than 90%. This is something that makes me absolutely fucking livid. It's one thing to not get a jab as an adult, but to not protect your own fucking child... Stupid people will end us all.

@SirCandinavian do you mean you don't believe these numbers, as if it's some kind of conspiracy?

@Gina thanks for making these difficult decisions. From experience, I know it's hard and it feels like giving in sometimes, but the Fediverse can't afford more drama.

Starting a long travel day with only 56 body battery isn't ideal. #garmin

Today is new iPhone day. My silver 17 Pro will arrive, ending the need for my dozens upon dozens of lightning cables.
