Another night spent playing with GatewayAPI. I preferred @cilium since I already use it in most places.

However, this cluster where #tootcommunity runs is entirely IPv4-only.

Turns out, if you send data to the IPv6 endpoint of an external LB, and that LB forwards the source IPv6 IP using PROXY […]

Routed cloud LB traffic externally to the Hetzner metal machines instead of through the configured vSwitch. HTTP traffic feels much snappier.

The vSwitch hasn't been very stable in the past, unfortunately.

#tootcommunity

We launched three years ago, so this is our third birthday celebration! We're so grateful to see that many of our very first supporters are still with us. 🥳

@mijndert and I have been working hard to create a new platform for the #tootcommunity Mastodon instance. It's completely open-source and built as Infrastructure as Code. The repository includes Kubernetes configurations, custom Helm charts, and OpenTofu code. The best part is that any changes […]

The cluster just updated Mastodon to the latest v4.4.8 by itself with new security patches.

The update installed automatically without any downtime.

After dealing with all the moving parts and the complexity involved, I have to say, DevOps is pretty cool.

#tootcommunity

This day 3 years ago I left twitter and joined toot.community. It has been a very positive experience and I'm really glad to be a part of #mastodon and the #fediverse

time to re-up my donate to #tootcommunity

#wrapstodon is now enabled for everyone on #tootcommunity

The developers on @Mastodon expect a more polished version next year. 🎆

@ToshInMacc Gladly!
