Didn't want to troubleshoot the pgbouncer container, so I just removed it from the stack. I also re-configured the sidekiq containers, scaled down from 44 to 10 containers. (1100 to 250 threads)
We once had over 100.000 monthly active users, but that's down to 7600 now.
I'll also plan a migration to a new server, we need less CPU and RAM, and more disk. And the database should be upgraded from Postgres 14 to 18.

#MastoAdmin for those of you in the US do you have any thoughts on how a potential loss of Section 230 immunity would impact you? I'm worried about the increased liability risk
If you run your own Mastodon server and wondering how to manage storage, there's a useful video by @fedihost about it:

They have also made lots of other useful tutorial videos about hosting your own Fediverse server:

The videos cover Mastodon, PeerTube and GoToSocial 🙂

We just released Mastodon 4.5.5, 4.4.12, and 4.3.18.
These versions contain various bug fixes, including very important (1 high severity, 3 moderate severity) security fixes.
Mastodon 4.2 is now unsupported, so if you still run it, please update to a supported version as soon as you can.
Full release notes and update instructions are available on the GitHub releases page.
If you're running your own Mastodon server and you're still on a pre-4.5 version, you might want to update to the latest version (4.5.5).
The "fetch all replies" feature introduced in 4.5 means you see all the replies in threads no matter which server you're viewing from, no matter how large or small your server is. This makes cross-server interactions much easier.
My dedication to our community remains steadfast. I've travelled this country with the hopes of networking and growing the fediverse and our community.
However I've begged for help in exactly this area for as long as Elon has owned Xitter. I've begged our community for folks to step up to create a society.
Yet no one has stepped up. We've all had to figure this technical shit out on our own, in our own silos, and it seems no one wants to share their knowledge.
My sleepless nights of dealing with databases, and endless hours of googling is really starting to wear on me.
24 hours ago I asked for some help and it went to deaf ears. I'm doing everything I can but I'm really starting to burn the candle on both ends.
This is the problem with where we're at with the fediverse. We have people bending over backwards and there's no rescue boat in sight when they need help.
If we truly want to build community, we do it together.
At what point is my cup empty? There's 36,000 people here.
