Today is feeling like a lox, cream cheese, and sriracha on a bagel sorta day!

I really went all out with keyoxide.. I like the approach way better than keybase.. open standards, no lock-in, this is the way to go.

@freemo Woah that's cool. Is that using docker swarm? or some other swarm? 😂

In case anyone is curious about a sneak peek for whats next on QOTO, I am currently setting up a Matrix chat server with full bridging (so not only can you join chats on other matrix servers but you can also join them on other protocols like IRC and XMPP)... I will also most likely create a seperate XMPP server for those who want it.

@QOTO

@stux hey buddy, isnt your server running a rocketchat instance? Got a few questions if so.

Wizard: Have this book it will teach you the secrets of the universe!

Student: Oh, is this a magick book!?

Wizard: Arent they all?

Many people don't know I studied a broad when I was younger. Her name was Rachel. :byebrows:

Am I the only one who abuses RFC2119 in pretty much every white paper I write?

Sometimes I really really love the techno-jargon in some of the intros of the white papers I write... Here is one I was just reading that I am working on:

******* is a consensus driven, ultra-fast, Cryptocurrency providing Byzantine Fault Tolerance and guaranteeing a Perfect Failure Detector. In other words, Strong Perpetual Accuracy as well as Strong Completeness. It guarantees Strong-consistency and it can also be extended to provide State-machine Replication with all the same guarantees.

As for costs... the last year the total cost to run QOTO was **11,384.43$**. However I recently paid to reserve the instances instead of spot instances. So I expect the next year to be about 25% cheaper.

Attached a picture of the QOTO swarm's resources for those who are curious.

Some interesting facts about the cluster for those who are curious:

* Runs as a docker swarm, so easily scales as needed and services can move between computers in the cluster.
* Runs on a 7 computer cluster.
* Utilizes only about 5% at most of its CPU potential
* CPU has burst capability, so can go well beyond 100% for momentary high loads.
*Utilizes 33% of the memory (this includes caching). Almost all of the memory is from Gitlab.
* Requires half a terrabyte of on-disk size, with an additional 2 TB for used currently as shared disks.
* Supports 12 different services right now: fediverse-bots, discourse, wikijs, funkwhale, gitlab, 5-node load balancer, nextcloud, peertube, piwig, qoto-mastodon groups server, and two different monitoring tools.
* These 12 services run as 60 different interconnected docker containers spread across the cluster.

@QOTO

We are currently upgrading all of the services. Our configuration allows for no-downtime upgrades, so most users shouldnt notice anything (except for their services suddenly upgrading). However be aware downtime is possible if things dont go well.

So far all database and Redis back-end services have been upgraded to the latest. Next we will be working on the front-end services. This may be over the course of several days. We will announce when upgrades are complete but in the meantime if anything goes down, don't panic, we will be back.
