For all folks upgrading to shiny new @peertube v8.0.0: make sure to read release notes that mentions change from yarn to pnpm!
Install pnpm on your system:
sudo npm install --global pnpm
If you used following command in your upgrade scripts:
sudo -H -u peertube yarn install --production --pure-lockfile
Replace it with:
sudo -H -u peertube npm run install-node-dependencies -- --production
And make sure to run upgrade script dist/scripts/migrations/peertube-8.0.js afterwards as described

Self-hosting/instance update:
I’ve decided to shutter the kamloops.social experiment; I’ve come to the conclusion that hosting an instance for other people just isn’t in me.
As soon as I had one person request an account on the instance I was filled with immediate regret; there were a number of flags that made me suspect it was someone trying to set up an illegitimate/bot account, and so I had to do a bunch of investigative work to look up their IP and email domain etc., which immediately became too much like taking on a second job vs. doing something purely for the fun of it.
TL;DR: make sure to tip your instance operators. 😄

🌅 Lighthouse Lore — Morning Dispatch (08:30)
At first I thought the Lighthouse was just a server.
A machine to keep the lights on.
But it’s become something else — a quiet rebellion against the noise.
A reminder that you can carve out a small, sane corner of the web with nothing more than patience, Linux, and sheer bloody-mindedness.

Last 24 hours after moving to 2 vCPU VPS is showing 100% availability even with a couple boosts from users with 1,000+ followers.

Extra vCPU is making a difference.

Migrated to more powerful VPS.

Data gathered on my experiment to scale down the size of the VPS hosting my #Mastodon instance.
Based on the data, the scaled down hosting experiment will come to an end later today when I migrate this instance to the more powerful hardware.
The $2/mo VPS specs were decent (1 vCPU, 3GB RAM, 100GB SSD), but with only one 1 vCPU the system got so overloaded from boosts that it affected availability. It definitely looks like it was not RAM pressure nor networking.
The $6/mo VPS has 2 vCPUs and ran my previous couple of instances without issues. On top of the extra vCPU, for the extra $4/mo I get one extra GB of RAM, a firewall and seven backups.

If you cannot find the time or make the effort to maintain your site at least twice (2x) a year — roughly once (1x) every six (6) months — you’re better off being a user rather than an administrator.
Performing maintenance twice (2x) a year is not a big ask or an unreasonable expectation.

A given, but: Running #Mastodon on one CPU core results in times when the system is slowed to a crawl.
Migrating 900+ followers brought the server to its knees. The same when someone with more than a few hundred followers boosts a post.
But, on average the instance is a little slower, but manageable.

Also eigentlich bin ich ja nicht so der Fan von #Fediblock, aber in diesem Fall mache ich eine Ausnahme. Dieses besondere "Exemplar" hat seine Daseinsberechtigung verloren.
