Ok. I am tired of Infosec.exchange being sluggish. I just submitted a crazy order with Hetzner to upgrade the instance. Hopefully the last time for a while. I ordered a dell AMD Genoa 48 core server with 256 GB of ram to act as a database and redis server, a dell 64 core sapphire rapids server with 256gb of ram to act as the single front end/puma/streaming server, and an amd 7950 with 128gb of ram to run minio (insourcing from Backblaze).
I ordered all with 10g network interfaces to be connected to the same switch.
I continue to see issues with Backblaze performance causing issues with posting.
This will consolidate the environment down from about 13 servers to 4 (I will keep using less expensive servers on 1G networks for Sidekiq if it can’t run on the sapphire rapids server.
I will be putting that behind Fastly for global distribution and ddos mitigation. I don’t know whether I’ll keep serving media via bunny.net or try to do that with Fastly also. Bunny works pretty well and is cost effective for media delivery.
@jerry Pretty excellent, even if it is ‘only’ a phone. Your internal spirit level is also much better than mine - even when I concentrate on my horizon, somehow it’s still wrong when I view later
My late #caturday entry. Thor fell asleep with his mom on the couch watching some HGTV show.
Which reminds me, there are a growing number of houses around the country (world?) that were remodeled in under a day/week/whatever. I am not sure that’s such a great thing.
