Chad :mstdn:Hey #yeg fam, we've got a rare Rain Warning in effect. Check your sump pumps to make sure they're working.
If you're new to that, pour a bucket of water into your sump to trigger the float. If it doesn't go, replace it or get it replacd ASAP.

Chad :mstdn:If you just heard someone scream, it was me.
I was just about ready to publish the State of the Instance and was deleting what I thought was a draft from months ago; instead, it was my freshly finished post.
Suddenly I have a headache. Ghost really needs a trash bin.

Chad :mstdn:I'm aiming to rewrite the State of the Instance next week.
I'm occupied by Folk Fest this weekend and I'm not sure I can get into the writing headspace this weekend.
It's coming next week.

Chad :mstdn:In case anyone was wondering, here's how much data we store on our CDN for 35,000 users.
#mastoadmin #mstdnca
Chad :mstdn:Good news, everyone! We're switched over from DigitalOcean's Spaces to Cloudflare's R2 CDN for our media. This means we save money on our media storage but also eliminate the media egress cost, meaning we save upwards of $160/mo.
It took a couple of days to transfer some 16 million files, amounting to 12TB of data.
We can also (finally) say goodbye to the mastdn.ca domain.

Chad :mstdn:So now that I'm not sweating over a spicy server, I suppose it's time for an #introduction!
Hi! I'm the instance operator of mstdn.ca. When I'm not panicking over the instance you can find me loving my career in healthcare IT. When I'm not doing that I'm singing with my chamber choir, cycling, skiing, serving on a number of boards and PACs, volunteering, and rarely, sleeping.
I'm an fervent advocate for publicly delivered healthcare, #CovidZero, and healthy communities.
