What is “desp”?

I can increase that if you like.

Hi all. It’s Jerry from the interview talking about infosec.exchange. I think it’s important to understand some apparently missing context in the discussions below. I was talking about a hypothetical future where we saw tens/hundreds of millions of active accounts on the fediverse. I don’t believe the current funding model can support that, and I also don’t think the “spin up your own host” model will work for the masses, either.

I host close to two dozen different fediverse services, from lemmy to mastodon to mbin to peertube and lots more, and all that takes some significant hardware to run at larger scales. My objective has been to provide a fast and reliable fediverse experience, and so I’ve focused more on that than on making my servers scream, and so I’ve landed on hosting the fleet on a series of Hetzner Dell servers with 10GB interfaces, and that is not cheap.

Hey all, Jerry here (from the interview). Happy to answer any questions.

I was probably the most prominent person who runs both and had database issues with k/mbin. I am happy to say that those are well behind me, largely because of the skill and patience of the Mbin team helping me resolve them.

That is on my to do list.

I don’t have an intention to block threads here

I am still here. Just don’t post much. I unblocked feddit.nl. It was quite problematic in the past but willing to try again.

I don’t play around any more :)

ok - infosec.pub is now running on my main infrastructure - a 48 core/96 thread AMD epyc zen4 genoa with 256GB of DDR5 ECC ram and 2x4TB nvme SSDs, backed by a dedicated database server with the exact same specs, on a 10gbps network.

I appreciate the offer and will likely make a call for more help soon.

I am working on it...
