Apparently in some parts of the world it’s already Monday June 12th. I see registrations going up.
This results in the server CPU staying around 70% even spiking over 90%. So I will upgrade the VPS from 4cpu/16GB to 8cpu/32GB.
Expect a few minutes downtime at 17:00 CET
Restart is done. Enjoy!
What is the plan when the new VPS gets overloaded in a few hours? What happens if this instance becomes popular and has 50k users a day?
Then I move it to a dedicated server, like I did with mastodon.world which has 164k users and had over 100k active users at it’s peak.
How is the funding? Do you need help? Will this be a long term project?
Funding is still OK but we might need to upgrade the server again soon. Links for funding are on the homepage sidebar. I don’t quit this server as long as it’s used. If I ever get tired of it I hand it over.
