I was wondering why I was receiving a bunch of late replies…
PSA: In case you were experiencing problems with feddit.org, this is because a post from feddit reached the front page of Hacker News.

I wonder if the caching is not aggressive enough or something.
I had a PeerTube video from my instance on the HN FrontPage last week and the load was minimally higher compared to before or after.
I had several of my blogposts on HN FrontPage in the past. The first time it happened it brought my poor VPS to the Knies, but I learned from it and cached pages with nginx for some minutes and since then never had any problems. Just invalidate the cache when there are changes.

How does peertube cache? I know it P2P the video which is nice in case anything goes viral, but I never took the time to figure out any caching.
My tiny single digit user instance seems to keep up with any traffic on a equivalent of a pi.....so I assume its good .

DDoS by venture capitalism.

That was how the Internet worked back in the day. Site reliability for small sites was shit and going viral would routinely pull a smaller site down.

If only there was a solution to that.

That's a Zionist server
Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Is that true though? Is it really a Zionist server?
There are a lot of people who vaguely lean pro-Israel (but may be revaluating their position in light of recent news), who cannot be called Zionist.
I just think words matter and one shouldn’t debase the meaning of the world Zionists.

There are two mega threads on Ye power tripping bastards community.
You can review this discussion for yourself.
My conclusion is that they used the law to hide behind. Sure some of the offending content should be removed per German law but there is a lot more modding that happens on there to ensure that zio view points are validated and genocide is white washed.

I hate that it needs repeatedly saying, but its not. Its just based in Germany which has very draconian speech laws relating to Israel and the admins don't want to be arrested

Its just based in Germany
Move the server then. Easy improvement over supporting genocide.

Germany is a Zionist country that hosts Zionists servers.
People are best to avoid both if genocide is a deal breaker for them.

Well yeah it’s a fascist server so zionism comes with the territory.

Sounds like a skill issue.

Nice! I have a feeling that most of the fediverse dont use a whole lot of caching. I dont really enjoy some of the things cloudflare does, but it does do a good job with caching.
Is Memcache still a thing? I remember using that for a LOT of older apps back in the day.
