Masto.host
Currently Masto.host is experiencing the highest volume of traffic that has ever reached the infrastructure.
The service is partially degraded and I will be doing fast upgrades on the platform.
These can lead to partial downtime, errors and large delays in support requests.
Really sorry. Doing the best I can on my end. Hope you understand. Thanks.

Thank you. ?
Masto.host
@tom the graphs are all red :)
theothertom
@mastohost if it’s something you can share, it would be amazing to see any graphs of the traffic ramping up. A few of the larger instances have shared similar, and it really puts in context what an amazing job they’re doing coping with the influx.
Masto.host
@dregin thank you so much :) appreciate it and the server has still not arrived ?
Bernard McKeever
@mastohost Hugo is the reason mastodon.ie has stayed afloat during the chaos of the last few weeks.
Please spare a thought for him. When all this calms down there will be pints posted his way.
On behalf of the #MastoDaoine, thank you Hugo!
Masto.host
@dave_angel probably we could talk. How can we arrange that?
Gope Walker
@mastohost - what you are doing is wonderful. I run a Consultancy in Oxford, UK. We deal with all sorts of cloud based capacity management Shenanigans. If we can help give me a toot.

Dave nλ=2dsinθ
@mastohost how can we help?
Masto.host
@Nasher trying to balance everything but it’s a slow process, sorry
Nasher
@mastohost Good luck with handling all that ! Will there be another host server in order to have a more balanced load ?
EVHaste
@mastohost I’m not a member of your instance, but just wanted to say you’re doing great, and to be gentle with yourself.
The size of the traffic spike is unprecedented and everyone is doing the best they can. ❤️
Good luck fam!

@mastohost
When I see all this stuff about Mastodon being slow I can’t help but think about the Trilema in blockchain which states you can only have 2 of the following:
Decentralisation
Security
Scalability
Does this apply in Decentralised social networks too? #trilemma #mastodon
Andrew Linke
@mastohost Do your best :-) I'm looking forward to when you can open up to new instances again.
Polygon
@mastohost Thanks for accepting so many newbies!
jasonpolkovitz
@mastohost You’re doing a great job! In the past couple of days since I joined it went from slow to pretty speedy.
Merculargo
@mastohost seriously your doing the very best that you can under crazy spiking usage. I for one almost would like to thank Twitter for making me aware of your existence and I am all for supporting a more independent setup devoid of mega wealthy crazy owners. Keep going despite it all the disruption!
Lol Duffy
@mastohost Thanks for the work you're putting into this.
DawnRay ammon
@mastohost it's okay. the party got bigger than you expected. We will turn it into a potluck and no one is calling the cops.
Masto.host
@eliingraham me too ? hard to predict because traffic keeps going up.
eliingraham
@mastohost Would love to know when you are taking on new clients! ???
Allison Orr Block
@mastohost how can we help you?
Masto.host
@virtual_hugs Right now all I need is time but thanks.
Masto.host
@ghostrunner Thanks a lot appreciate it, currently I need to focus on the current infrastructure and having enough resources available to handle the influx but when things are more stable, I will access the damage and see if I can afford external help. Thanks.
Ghostrunner
@mastohost I’m not the worst devops to walk the earth* and would be happy to devote some time to help.
*past performance is not a predictor of future results

@mastohost Thank you. We appreciate your invisible work. It is so valuable for positive connections. May you be blessed.

Today there was a slowdown in media uploads and general media access. This was caused by an issue with my Object Storage provider but it's solved: https://public-cloud.status-ovhcloud.com/incidents/2nt6rj7dl6vm
Also, I would like to let you know that currently there should be no issues on Masto.host hosted instances and the performance degradation experienced last week has been completely resolved.
Sorry for any trouble you might have experienced and unless there is a higher flood of new users/activity we should be good :) Thanks ?
Masto.host
@john ?
John Conway
@mastohost Narrator: there was a flood of new users. ?
