@forestjohnson actually yeah, that's a big difference hah, I should add a gauge for that :)

@forestjohnson yeah, I think pixie.town's users are in a rather diverse set of rooms, so media tends to get accessed only a few times

synapse's own media API is *only* used to fetch local content when it's no longer in the RAM cache (shown as 'synapse' in the top right gauges)

All other requests are handled by the proxy, which directly contacts federating servers (remote)

A graph would be good yeah, when I have some more time

alertmanager is great because now my servers can scream at me

and I've heard 0 complaints and some people probably didn't even notice the deployment :D

other than that, synapse-media-proxy seems to work well, nice and stable and memory use is pretty great too, even with all the thumbnailing.

Turns out most of the requests are thumbnails of media from other servers, which makes sense because that's how they appear in the timeline, only hitting /download when you click to see full res

@erikk@chaos.social yeah that's what cosmos does too, but terra is an old gamer laptop with an external fan and it really doesn't take heat + load well

the cat is loving it tho they're sitting right next to the warm utility closet with the server, oof

good to know my server is having just as bad of a time as me with this heat

WIP, gaaaaaaaay 

WIP, still need to do more work on the water. I think I might leave the text digital if I do prints. I'm so bad at lettering...

hmm bunch of notifications duplicating now, shit's fucked folks

cache hit ratio for the deployed synapse-media-proxy over the last two days isn't great :/ like 30% and going down to 26.5% now :(

while I was in a video call too lol but don't think anyone noticed

@thufie when I ran a node it was almost heavier than my matrix server...
I like the concept but it just didn't work for me

meat, amogus 

@schratze but for how much will the NFT of this sale sell

am i dreaming or did someone actually bring up how superficial change stifles radical change, and a genuine critique of rainbow capitalism that had no dogwhistling or anything, in my group project zoom call, and we had a good talk about that
