Yep, from my workstation which is 2.5G to my UDM Pro which is hooked up to a Webpass Ethernet home run in my building to what I expect is somewhere in downtown Seattle is only ~0.5-0.6ms and only ~5 hops from my ISP's router to the VPS itself :)

For those wondering, you can get a very well priced VPS from OVH that is more than enough to run a PDS for you and a few dozen friends for <$5/mo

4 vCPU
8GB RAM
75GB NVME SSD
400mbps internet

Slap on a Cloudflare R2 bucket for blobs which shouldn't ever exceed free tier usage

It really is just so ridiculously tiny

That's a standard ATX case (Fractal North) not some kinda XL desktop or anything.

The chip in the Framework is holding its own in games through Proton too wow... Not yet missing my 3080 but we'll see how long that lasts.

Roughly 1/8 the size of the North

okay the Framework Desktop is real tiny and I love it

running arch for now and after a fwupd was able to get the wifi-7 chip doing a full symmetrical gigabit

played some games on it too and it's been good so far, need to see if i can get WoW running on it next

can of monster for scale

New friend 👀

Who wants to help me get this thing up and running with FRR and BGP unnumbered?

Time to dream up a new DC networking architecture :)

We're so back!!!

Finally got my non-WFH desk set up in the new apartment. Haven't had my desktop powered on for over a month.

Time to play some games :)

Homelab is now in its new home and online, catching up on the network. Will probably take 10+ hours to catch up on 7 days of missed activity so hopefully I can bring the feeds back up sometime tomorrow :)

This closet happened to be perfectly sized for my rack and is right next to the ISP drop!!!

Huh, wonder why Bsky traffic looks so weird and shark-finny today?

Oh, okay yeah that explains it.

Welcome, everyone!

@pfrazee.com gave me this award in standup today

I think the facial expression is pretty accurate for how I feel reading Hackernews comments most of the time :|

There's publicly observable data from the AT Proto event firehose that shows the dip during the halftime show and then the massive spike at the end when everyone tuned in to post about it and like posts about it.

Read-side traffic (which isn't publicly observable) saw a similar spike.

They're diurnal with a daily peak between 8AM-7PM PST

Daily trough is around 12AM-4AM PST

Here's a graph of write traffic over two recent days as seen from our public firehose

I can offer a Blahaj on the couch in front of a LTT Couchripper CPU pillow (modeled after an AMD Threadripper CPU) both in front of a custom blanket my awesome astrophysicist sister got for me that shows the magnetic field of the Milky Way from the center out (heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/objects...).

This is what it looks like when you all watch the boxing match together and take a little break from posting and liking things until the time between rounds where everyone checks in with their friends.

Then after the match y'all go back to posting and liking things as usual.

Pretty damn neat.

So I guess we're just doin bigger numbers every day now.

This is pretty damn exciting and I'm glad y'all are here and justifying the time we spent investing in scaling.

Really feels special to see this 20% day over day growth in activity and the "fresh of breath air" new users are experiencing.
