CPU and memory upgraded today (midwest.social)

Hello everyone,

I made a long overdue upgrade to the CPU and memory of the server by doubling both. Hope that helps some of the slow load times. I sometimes forget how many active users this server has and that number has only grown in the past year.

Thanks!

Nothing terribly impressive. 4 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM on a 120 GB ssd.

Boy 120GB doesn't seem like much. Do photo uploads go somewhere else, perhaps?

[–] seahorse@midwest.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah there's object storage I use for photos.

What CPUs are they? Like a modern Epyc, or a crusty 20 year old box like some of our appsrvs at work?

I guess it doesn’t need much for essentially database and the base of the website. I always figured it would need more. Any plans on going physical?

Not sure. Whatever digital ocean runs
