Was anyone else unable to connect to slrpnk in the last week or so? Was the server down or was it something on my end?
Just saw the other post about the server outage so feel the below is relevant:
Is there a way to make slrpnk more resilient by having community members host mirrors of the instance? I also feel this is in line with the ethos of solarpunk where we’d rather have many decentralised instances that can support each other and provide mutual resilience, rather than a single critical instance.
What are people’s thoughts?
(I might be able to volunteer my home server for this if I can cover the requirements)
When we first set up this instance, I thought about ways to do so, but it isn’t easy.
I still plan to add more resilience to the media hosting by sharing it as a Garage S3 service across multiple locations eventually, but for Lemmy or Piefed itself it would require quite a bit more effort than I am currently able to invest into this (and I am also not very knowledgeable about clustering a PostgreSQL database across multiple physical locations).
