So we are at a point with bird.makeup where I'm sending to many requests to Twitter and I'm triggering some rates limits. The plan is to figure out Wireguard, than I'll split request half and half from the server to my home using a rasberry pie. Sounds fun!
(but expect relaying delays while I set that up)
So the raspberry pie constantly dies with a small portion of the traffic 💥
But I still used the new architecture with 2 servers on the cloud instead, and found a fix for the 429 errors. Looking more stable now, but I will continue to monitor it to see how that goes!
I'm using some free cloud credits right now, but I'm thinking of investing some of the Patreon donation in something beefier than a Rasberry Pie that I can still run a home
@vincent Hi! Fan of your work. Would you recommend running a personal/FriendGroup instance for the people who know how, to alleviate the pressure in yours?
I have a personal server in my home and i can spin up a copy, just i'm not sure about the requirements in terms of bandwidth and cpu/mem.
Also, can i spin up one for me for testing and just delete it without too much consequence?
I'm pretty new about the nettiquete in the fediverse server side.
I'm also starting to think they made changes server-side also. I think I will have to make some changes to be more stealthy
