[09:58] * zxmpi twiddles thumbs and waits for mastodon confirmation email [12:41] zxmpi: did it arrive yet? [12:41] apparently tooting is no-longer a thing in Mastodon... [12:41] now it's "publish"ing [12:48] and me setting up beanzmeanzfartz just to toot!! :-P [12:49] was a silly name but changing it rather than just letting toot die seems the wrong way [15:12] the only issue I have with mastodon, most instances are running on slow VPSs [15:13] so the sidekiq queues just bind up and you never see other people's toots on other instamces [15:13] *instances [15:14] long live IRC! :) [15:54] irc will never die but as a twitter replacement i think i can use mastodon [15:58] i think with mastodons federation it might go same way, it might fade but someone will always be running a server [16:04] so we need someone to set up a mastodon instance to rule them all... we can call it the "centralised decentralised platform" [16:05] mastodon is very much designed to scale, but the server operators aren't using all the capabilities to do so - as you say, most of them are single VPS setups [16:06] I saw someone ask "has anyone set up elasticsearch backend for mastodon" - I suspect nobody is actually doing that in production [16:06] afaict mastodon has elasticsearch linkage built in but nobody is using it [16:08] it does have support for ELK, but you're right.. nobody is using it [16:27] in other news, i handed in my resignation on monday [17:14] :-o [17:19] hope all is well :-/ [17:20] all is good :) [17:20] i'm going to a small games studio [17:20] as.. and get this.. [17:20] huzzah \9/ [17:20] IT manager [17:20] huzzah \0/ [17:20] huzzah \0o [17:20] huzzah \o/ [17:20] eventually :-P [17:21] it's a relatively new studio, and they're backed by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
